Answers

1. a;

√? + 318 = 1518

√? = 1200

? = (1200)² = 1440000

2. d;

25% of 1200 = 300

√? + 290 = 300

√? = 300-290 = 10

? = 10² = 100

3. a;

40% of 80 + ? of 50% = 10% of 620

32 + ? of 50% = 62

? of 50% = 62 – 32  = 30

? = 60

4. c;

5. a;

9² + 9^1/2 = 81 + 3 = 84

? of 50% = 84

? = 168

6. a;

The series is +13

So, 35 is the wrong number.

7 should be subtracted from it to get the correct number.

7. e;

The series is +3, +5, +7, +9.

So, ‘32’ is the wrong number.

8. a;

The series is 2² + 1, 3² + 2, 4² + 3, 5² + 4, ….

So 22 is the wrong number. So the required ratio is 22: 22 = 1:1.

9. b;.

The series is +2, +4 , +6, +8, ……

So, ‘7’ is the wrong number.

The second number in the series starting with ‘7’ will be 7 + 2 = 9.

10. c;

The series is -1⁴, -2³, -3², -4¹.

Thanks.
