Answer: D) 10 Explanation: Given nuber series is 15, 30, ? , 40, 8, 48  Here the number series follows a pattern that 15 15 x 2 = 30 30 ÷ 3 = 10 10 x 4 = 40 40 ÷ 5 = 8 8 x 6 = 48 Hence, the missing number in the series is 10.

Answer: B) 181 Explanation: Here the series follow the rule that 12+22 = 5 32+42 = 2552+62 = 61 72+82 = 113   SO NEXT IS, 92+102 = 181

Answer: A) Rs.37,500 Explanation: Assume A be the cost price.   Therefore,35×A×10100 - 25×A×5100 = 1500   =>  A = Rs 37,500.

Answer: A) 4% Explanation: SP of first article = Rs.1000   Profit = 20%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000  Loss = 20%  CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250   So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3   As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.   Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)   So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Answer: A) 180 km Explanation: Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr; Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr. Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then, x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

Answer: D) 1.5 kmph Explanation: Speed of Boy is B = 4.5 kmph Let the speed of the stream is S = x kmph Then speed in Down Stream = 4.5 + x speed in Up Stream = 4.5 - x As the distance is same, => 4.5 + x = (4.5 - x)2 => 4.5 + x = 9 -2x 3x = 4.5 x = 1.5 kmph
