Answer : 3. "4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 4 Explanation: N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305) = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120. Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

Answer : 4. "140 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 140 mts Explanation: Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph => Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9 x 18 = 140 mts.

Answer : 2. "3:2:4"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 3:2:4 Explanation: Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/yyz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)Also xy = yx-z ⇒x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y22yz = xy + y22z = x + y Only option (B) satisfies the equation.

Answer : 3. "71"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 71 Explanation: To find the greatest number which divides the numbers 964, 1238 and 1400 leaving the remainders 41, 31 and 51 is nothing but the HCF of (964 - 41), (1238 - 31), (1400 - 51). Therefore, HCF of 923, 1207 and 1349 is 71.
