ANSWERS:
1. 180
2. ½
3. 18
(Given ratio = 3:4
Number of boys = 3x
Number of girls = 4x
Given number of girls = 24
Therefore, 4x = 24
x = 6
Number of boys = 3x = 3 x 6 = 18)
4. 1
(Cube of 5 is 125
Cube of 4 is 64
Cube of 3 is 27
Cube of 2 is 8
Cube of 1 is 1)
5. -5
6. 1275
(Sum of first n natural numbers = n (n+1) /2 = 50 x 51/2 = 1275)
7. 4.25
(Prime numbers between 1 and 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Average = ¼ (2+3+5+7) = 17/4= 4.25
8. 80
(Let the number be x
Given 5 % of x are 20.
So 5x/100 =20
x = 2000/5 = 400
Then 20 % of 400 = 20 x 400/100 = 80)
9. 0.707
10. 1
(Smallest four digit number is 1000 and greatest three digit number is 999.Their difference is 1000 – 999 = 1)
11. 21
(Let Manu’s age be x.
Manu’s father’s age = 6+2x
Given, 6+2x = 48
Therefore, 2x = 48 – 6 = 42
x = 21)
12. 15 (Use BODMAS)
13. 9:25
14. 47
(In the sequence 2, 7, 12………………, a = 2, d=5 and n=10.
10th term = a+ (n-1) d = 2 + (10-1)5 = 2 + 45 = 47)
15. 10
