Answer : 4. "-19"
Explanation :
Answer: D) -19 Explanation: HCF of 210 and 55 is 5 Now, 210x5 + 55P = 5 => 1050 + 55P = 5 => 55P = -1045 => P = -1045/55 => P = -19.

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. "3600"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3600 Explanation: Given word is THERAPY. Number of letters in the given word = 7 These 7 letters can be arranged in 7! ways. Number of vowels in the given word = 2 (E, A) The number of ways of arrangement in which vowels come together is 6! x 2! ways Hence, the required number of ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together = 7! - (6! x 2!) ways = 5040 - 1440 = 3600 ways.

Answer : 1. "Rs. 4000"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 4000 Explanation: Let C's salary be Rs. x Then B's salary = 80x/100 => A's salary = (50/100) * (80x/100) = 40x/100 But given total earnings in a month = 22000 => x + 80x/100 + 40x/100 = 22000 => x + 120x/100 = 22000 => x = 10000 => A's salary = 40 x 10000/100 = Rs. 4000
