Answer : 4. "16.38"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 16.38 Explanation: Given, Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg nad 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg. Total cost of the mixture of barley = (30 x 11.50) + (20 x 14.25) => Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 630 Total kgs of the mixture = 30 + 20 = 50kg Cost of mixture/kg = 630/50 = 12.6/kg To make 30% of profit => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 30% x 12.6 => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 3.78 = 16.38/kg.

Answer : 4. "39"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 39 Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10a + ba + b = 12 --- (1)If a>b, a - b = 6If b>a, b - a = 6If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get2a = 18 => a =9so b = 12 - a = 3Number would be 93.if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get2b = 18 => b = 9a = 12 - b = 3.Number would be 39.There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.

Answer : 2. "1962"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1962 Explanation: Arithmetic Series :: An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount. How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series :: When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence. That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference Now given Arithmetic Series is 2, 5, 8, 11,... Here a1 = 2, d = 3, n = 36 Now, an= a1 + n - 1d a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107 Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962 Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Answer : 4. "81.5"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 81.5 Explanation: Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively.Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R.Also given that,(83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79=>4P = 3Q.(76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81=>4R = 5Q,=>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5

Answer : 1. "14/33"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 14/33 Explanation: Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12. Let S be the sample space. Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12 = 12×11/2×1 = 66 Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs. => 8C2 = 8×7/2×1 = 28 Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.
