Q: The area of a circle of radius 5 is numerically what percent its circumference?
A. 150%
B. 250%
C. 350%
D. 450%
Solution: required percentage = πr22πr×100 =250%
The correct answer is: B) 250%
Q: If the number 517?324 is completely divisible by 3,then the smallest whole number in place of ? will be:
A. 2
B. 1
C. 3
D. 7
Solution: Sum of digits = (5 + 1 + 7 + x + 3 + 2 + 4) = ( 22 + x ), which must be divisible by 3. When x=2. [(22 + 2) = 24 is divisible by 3] So, the answer is 2
The correct answer is: A) 2
Q: Prove that any date in March of a year is the same day of the week corresponding date in November that year
A. Same day
B. Not same day
C. Next day
D. Previous day
Solution: We will show that the number of odd days between last day of February and last day of October is zero. . March April May June July Aug. Sept. Oct. 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 241 days = 35 weeks = 0 odd day. ,Number of odd days during this period = 0. Thus, 1st March of an year will be the same day as 1st November of that year. Hence, the result follows
The correct answer is: A) Same day
Q: A motorist travels to a place 150 km away at an average speed of 50 km/hr and returns at 30 km/hr.  His average speed for the whole journey in km/hr is :
A. 35
B. 36
C. 37.5
D. 38.2567
Solution: Average speed = (2xy) /(x + y) km/hr                       = (2 * 50 * 30) / (50 + 30) km/hr.                          37.5 km/hr.
The correct answer is: C) 37.5
Q: A sum of Rs.312 was divided among 100 boys and girls in such a way that the boy gets Rs.3.60 and each girl Rs. 2.40 the number of girls is
A. 35
B. 40
C. 45
D. 50
Solution: tep (i): Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls. Given total number of boys and girls = 100 x+y=100 -------------- (i) Step (ii): A boy gets Rs. 3.60 and a girl gets Rs. 2.40 The amount given to 100 boys and girls = Rs. 312 3.60x + 2.40y = 312 -------------- (ii) Step (iii): Solving (i) and (ii) 3.60x + 3.60y = 360 --------- Multiply (i) by 3.603.60x + 2.40y = 312 --------- (ii) 1.20y = 48 y = 48 / 1.20 = 40  Number of girls = 40
The correct answer is: B) 40
Q: Find the missing number? 15, 30, ? , 40, 8, 48
A. 21
B. 8
C. 19
D. 10
Solution: 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.
The correct answer is: D) 10
Q: In some quantity of ghee, 60% is pure ghee and 40% is vanaspati. If 10 kg of pure ghee is added, then the strength of vanaspati ghee becomes 20%. The original quantity was : 
A. 10 kg
B. 15 kg
C. 20 kg
D. 25 kg
Solution: Let the original quantity be x kg. Vanaspati ghee in x kg  =  (40x / 100 )kg = (2x / 5) kg.  Now, (2x/5)/(x + 10) = 20/100 => 2x / (5x + 50) = 1/5  => 5x = 50  => x = 10.
The correct answer is: A) 10 kg
Q: How many arrangements of the letters of the word ‘BENGALI’ can be made if the vowels are to occupy only odd places.
A. 720
B. 576
C. 567
D. 625
Solution: There are 7 letters in the word Bengali of these 3 are vowels and 4 consonants.   There are 4 odd places and 3 even places. 3 vowels can occupy 4 odd places in 4P3 ways and 4 constants can be arranged in 4P4 ways.   Number of words =4P3  x 4P4= 24 x 24 = 576
The correct answer is: B) 576
