Answer: C) 289 Explanation: Here the given number series is 270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243 270 - 9 = 261 261 + 18 = 279 279 - 27 = 252 252 + 36 = 288 (not equals to 289) 288 - 45 = 243   Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 289.

Answer: C) Rs. 340 Explanation: Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x According to the question ;each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one Second child will get = Rs. x + 30 Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60 Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90 Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120 Total amount they got = Rs. 2000 x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 20005x + 300 = 20005x = 1700x = Rs. 340So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.

Answer: C) 4312 sq.m Explanation: Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.    2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352      s = 2642π and l = 3522π    Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2      = π1762π2-1322π2    = 1762π-1322π     = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π     = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
