? = 144

6. Let the length is 5x and breadth is 4x

area = (5x)(4x) = 1280

x2= 64 x = 8

length = 40; breadth = 32

required ratio =

Hence, question mark (?) will be replaced by 195.

12. 64 128 92 220 148 404 ?

See the bold part. It makes a series as follows:

64 92 148 ?

+28 +56 +112

Hence, ? will be replaced by 260.

13. Here the series consists of two series S1and S2:

S1: 24 26 28 30

+2 +2 +2

S2: 14 15 16

+1 +1

Hence, 17 should be replaced by 15.

14.Here the series is 5 1 + 12= 6;

6 2 + 22= 16;

16 3 + 32= 57;

57 4 + 42= 244;

244 5 + 52= 1245;

1245 6 + 62= 7506


15. Here the series is 3 87 = 17

17 76 = 113

113 65 = 673

673 54 = 3361

3361 43 = 13441

13441 32 = 40321


16. P = P

Q = P + 2

R = P + 4

S = P + 6

and T = P + 8

According to question: P + S = 150

P + P + 6 = 150

2P = 144

P = 72


15/21


Sum of all numbers = P + Q + R + S + T = 72 + 74 + 76 + 78 + 80 = 380

17.Let the number is x

x = 12500

50% of 12500 = 6250

18. Let a = 5k, b = 10k, c = 15k

19.Let the numbers of 2 Rs. Notes, 5 Rs. Notes and 10 Rs. Notes are 3x, 2x & 4x

3x 2 + 2x 5 + 4x 10 = 728

x = 13

Total number of notes = 3 15 + 2 15 + 4 15

= 135

20. Let labeled price be Rs. X. Then, 120% of x = 2880

C.P. = 85% of Rs.2400 = Rs. = Rs. 2040.

21.Suppose maximum marks is x

x = 140

22.Length and width be 100 cm & 100 cm respectively

Area = 10000 sq.cm.

After change length by 30% new length = 130 cm.

New width = 85 cm.

Area = 130 85 sq.cm.

Percentage change in area =

34.The unit which shows the number of total workers the highest must have average numberof workers employed maximum.

Unit: P Q R S T U

Total workers: 904 569 782 737 961 830

Hence average number of workers in Unit T is the maximum.
