and 522 + 534 = 660

What is the value of 246 + 817 = ?

OPtion

1) 610
2) 670
3) 640
4) 680
5) 690
6) 700
7) 1260
8) 1360
9) 620
10) None of these

10 Oct 2019 Volume

198 cubic centimeters of silver is drawn into a wire 2 mm in diameter. The length if the wire in meters will be:

OPtion

1) 6.3cm
2) 63cm
3) 630cm
4) 6300m
5) 63000cm
6) 6.3m
7) 0.63m
8) 630m
9) 63m
10) None of these

Solution

Let the length of the wire be h
Radius=2/2 mm = 1/10 cm
Volume = πr^2h= 198
=> (22/7)∗(1/10)∗(1/10)∗h = 198
=>h = (198∗10∗10∗7)/22 = 6300cm = 63m

09 Oct 2019 Place Value

What is the difference in the place value of 6 in the numeral 1964863?

OPtion

1) 69940
2) 59840
3) 68940
4) 59840
5) 58940
6) 50940
7) 59940
8) 49940
9) 49040
10) None of these

Solution

The digit 6 has two place values in the numeral, 6 * 10^5 = 60,000 and 6 * 10^1 = 60.

∴Required difference = 60000 - 60 = 59940

Correct Option: 7 Best Solution (2)

08 Oct 2019 Arithmetic

The sum of squares of three successive integers is 9749. Sum of these integers is?

OPtion

1) 161
2) 222
3) 191
4) 181
5) 361
6) 121
7) 171
8) 184
9) 154
10) None of these

Solution

(a-1)^2 + a^2 + (a+1)^2 = 9749
=> a^2 -2a + 1 + a^2 + a^2 + 2a + 1 = 9749
=> 3a^2 + 2 = 9749
=> a^2 = (20174-2)/3 = 3249
=> a = 57
So the 3 numbers are 56, 57 and 58 and their sum is 171

04 Oct 2019 Heights and Distance

A helium balloon leaves the ground at a point A and rises vertically at uniform speed. At the end of 5 minutes, Raju finds the angular elevation of the balloon as 30°. If the point at which Raju is standing is 550 m away from point A, what is the speed of the balloon in m/s?

OPtion

1) 2.67
2) 2.17
3) 1.67
4) 1.067
5) 1.58
6) 2.058
7) 1.085
8) 2.076
9) 1.058
10) None of these

Solution

Let C be the position of Raju. Let A be the position at which balloon leaves the Ground and B be the position of the balloon after 5 minutes.

Given that CA = 550 m, angle BCA = 30°

tan 30° = 1/(3^1/2) = BA/CA
BA = CA/(√3) = 550/√3 m

time taken = 5 min = 5 × 60 = 300 seconds

Speed = Distance/Time
=> (550/√3)/300
= 1.058 meter/second

10) None of these

Solution

(6^3)^(2/3) x (6^4)^3/4
=> 6^(2) x (6^3)
=> 6^ (2 + 3)
=> 6 ^(5)
=> 7776

8) 2,236.40
9) 309.40
10) None of these

Solution

SI = PRT/100 = 1947*2*10/100 = 389.40
A = 389.40 + 1947 = 2,336.40

01 Oct 2019 Probability

A man throws three dices simultaneously on the floor. What is the probability of getting three numbers whose product is even?

OPtion

1) 1/3
2) 2/3
3) 1/8
4) 3/8
5) 2/5
6) 7/9
7) 1/9
8) 1/7
9) 7/8
10) None of these

Solution

Each dice could either have an even number or odd number.
Product would be odd only if all three numbers are odd.

Total number of possible outcomes in terms of even and odd results = 2*2*2 = 8

For product to be odd, total number of positive outcomes = 1 (considering all three dices should have an odd numbered result)

Probability of getting three numbers whose product is odd = 1/8

Probability of getting three numbers whose product is even= 1- 1/8 = 7/8
