Answer : 1. "145"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 145 Explanation: 4       30       ?     1440       7195      71940   Here the given series follows a pattern of   4   4 x 10 - 10 = 30   30 x 5 - 5  = 145   145 x 10 - 10 = 1440   1440 x 5 - 5 = 7195   7195 x 10 - 10 = 71940   Hence, the missing number is 145

Answer : 3. "32640"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 32640 Explanation: We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.   The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is   111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits   No of 1 s depends on number of digits   So,the answer us   111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300   We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.   Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.   This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.   So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5). =660   Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways   So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Answer : 4. "180"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 180 Explanation: Given total number of cows = kNow, 1st son share = k/22nd son share = k/43rd son share = k/54th son share = 9 (k) + (k/4) + (k/5) + 9 = k=> k - (19k/20) = 9=> (20k-19k)/20 = 9=> k = 180.
