Answer: A) Rs. 1600 Explanation: Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively. Then, from the given data, M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1) M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2) S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3) and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)   Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

Answer: D) 8 Explanation: Given number series follows a pattern that, 2 2 x 1.5 + 1 = 4 4 x 1.5 + 1 = 7 (not equal to 8) 7 x 1.5 + 1 = 11.5 11.5 x 1.5 + 1 = 18.25 18.25 x 1.5 + 1 = 28.375   Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 8.

Answer: C) 28 Explanation: Three persons A, B, C can be arranged in a queue in six different ways, ie ABC, CBA, BAC, CAB, BCA, ACB. But since there are only 3 persons ahead of C, so C should be in front of the queue. Thus, there are only two possible arrangements, ie CBA and CAB.   We may consider the two cases as under: Case I:  ←3C↔8B↔5A→21   Clearly, number of persons in the queue = (3+1+8+1+5+1+21=) 40   Case II:  ←3C A↔5B   Number of persons between A and C                     = (8 - 6) = 2    ∵[C↔8B A→21B]   Clearly number of persons in the queue = (3+1+2+1+21) = 28   Now, 28 < 40. So, 28 is the minimum number of persons in the queue.

Answer: B) 13 Explanation:  Let   Let x=333 = 333    Then, logx = 33 log3     = 27 x 0.47712 = 12.88224    Since the characteristic in the resultant value of log x is 12   ∴The number of digits in x is (12 + 1) = 13    Hence the required number of digits in 333is 13.

Answer: D) 6 days Explanation: 4/10 + 9/x = 1     => x = 15    Then both can do in  1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6     => 6 days
