Answer: B) 23 Explanation: Let the greater and smaller number be p and q respectively. 4q = p + 5 ------ (I) p = 3q+2 ------- (II) From equation (I) and (II) q = 7 p = 23

A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include :   1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. 2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. 3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled. 4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section. 5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well. 6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Answer: C) 34 cm Explanation: Let the side of the square be 's' cm   length of rectangle = (s+5) cm   breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm   (s+5) (s-3) =    s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2    2s = 15   Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)   = 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm

Answer: D) 3/8 Explanation: 3/4 divided by 2 = 3/4/2 = 3/4x2 = 3/8.   Hence, 3/4 divided by 2 is equal to 3/8.

Answer: C) Google Explanation: 1. In the latest Global 500 rankings of most valuable and powerful brands across the globe, Sundar Pichai’s Google has surpassed Apple to achieve the top position.2. The Brand Finance Global 500 list published on February 2, 2017 had featured Apple as the top brand for continuous five years.3. However, for 2017, the ranking revealed that Google’s brand value rose by 24 percent to $109.5bn in 2016. The brand value of Apple on the other hand dropped 27 percent to $107bn.4. This is for the first time since 2011 that Google has been placed at the top spot. The third place has been occupied by Amazon.5. The ranking is based upon factors such as marketing investment, familiarity, loyalty, staff satisfaction and corporate reputation.

Answer: A) Y Explanation: If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN   So, following the same pattern. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY   That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

Answer: C) 75 Explanation: Here in the given series, it follows a pattern that   77 + 2 = 79   79  - 3 = 76   76 + 5 = 81   81 -  7 = 74   74 + 11 = 85   Consecutive adding and subtracting of prime numbers.   So the wrong number in the given series is 75.

Answer: C) Fe Explanation: In chemistry, the term transition metal has three possible meanings: The IUPAC definition defines a transition metal as "an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell". Any of the set of metallic elements occupying a central block (Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12) in the periodic table, e.g. iron, manganese, chromium, and copper. Chemically they show variable valency and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are coloured.   Here in the given options, only iron (Fe) is a transition metal since Strontium is an alkaline earth, arsenic is a metalloid, hydrogen is (normally) a diatomic gas.
