1. Find the value to replace question mark if 121^3 * 11 / (1331^2) = 11?

Answer: 1

Solution: 1331 = 121*11

So the expression becomes,

11^6 * 11/(11^6) = 11. Hence ?=1


2. Find the value of (5555+3600)/1831

Answer: 5

Solution: 5555 = 5*1111, 3600 = 5*720

As 1831 = 1111+720, the expression can be written as 5*(1111+720)/(1111+720) = 5


3. Find the value of 12.05 * 6.3/0.7

Answer: 108.45

Solution: 12.05 * 6.3/0.7 = 12.05 * 63/7

= 12.05 * 9 = 12.05 * (10-1) = 120.5 - 12.05 = 108.45


4. Find the value of (2 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4)(1 - 1/5) ....... (1 - 1/99)(1 - 1/100)

Answer: 0.05

Solution: (2 - 1/3) = 5/3

(1 - 1/4) = 3/4

(1 - 1/5) = 4/5

(1 - 1/100) = 99/100

So expression becomes 5/3 * 3/4 * 4/5 * ..... 98/99 * 99/100 = 5/100 = .05


5. If a/b = 1/3 and 9a + b = 48, then find the value of a.

Answer: 4

Solution: a/b = 1/3, So b=3a.

using the other equation, 9a+3a = 48, a=48/12=4


6.


Answer: 9/11

Solution: Dividing by B, the expression becomes

(A/B - 1)/(A/B + 1) = (10-1)/(10+1) = 9/11


7. What is the value of 512/5 + 211/5 + 461/5 + 157/5 ?

Answer: 268.2

Solution: Dividing by 5 is nothing but multiplying by 2/10.

Hence the above expression becomes (512+211+461+157)*2/10 = (1341)*2/10 = 268.2


8. What is the value of the below expression?


Answer: 5997

Solution: The expression becomes 999*6 + (1/7 + 2/7 + ... + 6/7)

= 5994 + 21/7 = 5997


9. Find the value to replace question mark so that (7/15 + 2/5) * ? = 1/20

Answer: 3/52

Solution: As 15 is the LCM of denominators, 7/15 + 2/5 = 13/15

So 13/15 * ? = 1/20

? = 15/(13*20) = 3/52


10. Find the value of 3219/25 + 1121378/25 + 99129/25

Answer: 48949.04

Solution: 25 is nothing but 100/4

Hence the expression is (3219+1121378+99129)*4/100 = 4894904/100 = 48949.04


11. Find the value of (0.76 × 0.76 × 0.76 - 0.008)/(0.76 × 0.76 + 0.76 × 0.2 + 0.04)

Answer: 0.56

Solution: Here a=0.76 and b=0.2

The expression can be written as (a^3 - b^3)/(a^2 +ab + b^2) = a-b = 0.76-0.2 = 0.56


12. If  a-b = 3 and a^2 + b^2 = 29, find the value of ab.

Answer: 10

Solution: (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab

9 = 29 - 2ab, ab = (29-9)/2 = 10


13. Find the value of the expression below.


Answer: 200 and 172/315

Solution: To simplify, first consider the whole number part alone.

44 + 66 + 88 = 198

Now consider the fractions.

4/5 + 6/7 + 8/9 =  (252+270+280)/315 = 802/315

So answer is 198 +  802/315 = 200 + 172/315 = 200 and 172/315


14. If a+b=5 and 3a+2b=20, then 3a+b is

Answer: 25

Solution: a+b=5, So 2a+2b=10.

As 3a+2b=20, a=10 and b=-5. So 3a+b = 30-5 = 25


15.


Answer: 4/3

Solution: Dividing by B, the expression becomes

(A/B + 1)/(A/B - 1) = (7+1)/(7-1) = 8/6 = 4/3


16. What is the value of the below expression?

143/11 + 1023/33 + 165/11

Answer: 59

Solution: Using the formula a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b), the expression can be written as

(12+1)(12-1)/(12-1) + (32+1)(32-1)/(32+1) + (13+2)(13-2)/(13-2)

= 13 + 31 + 15 = 59


17. Find the value of 9983 * 984 + 9983 * 6

Answer: 9883170

Solution: Given expression can be written as 9983 * (1000 - 16) + 9983 * 6

= 9983000 - 9983*16 + 9983 * 6 = 9983000 - 99830 = 9883170


18. If 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/x = 4, then what is the value of x?

Answer: 6/19

Solution: 1/x = 4 - (1/3 + 1/2)

= 4 - 5/6 = 19/6, So x = 6/19


19. Find the value of the below expression.


Answer: 1739832

Solution: 9999 1/29 = (10000 - 28/29) = (290000-28)/29 =

so expression becomes (289972/29) * 174 = 289972 * 6 = 1739832


20. What is the value when 8/13 is divided by 192/559 ?

Answer: 43/24

Solution: 8/13/192/559 = (8/13) * (559/192) = 43/24

 216 cubes of similar size are arranged in the form of a bigger cube. The six faces of the bigger cube are painted with green, red, blue, violet, white, pink colours. Related Comprehension Questions 1. How many cubes are painted with red or blue? Answer: 66 or 72 Solution: In one face 36 smaller cubes will be present. When red and blue are not adjacent 36*2=72 cubes will be painted with red or blue. When these colours are in adjacent faces, the six common cubes are to be subtracted giving 72-6=66 2. How many cubes are painted with red or blue or green? Answer: 91 or 96 Solution: When all three colours are adjacent to each other, we get 36 + 30 + 25 = 91 (We subtract the common cubes from 36 and hence 30 and 25) When one of the three colours is in between the other two, we get 36+30+30 = 96 3. How many cubes are painted with red or blue but not green? Answer: 55 or 60 Solution: When all three colours are adjacent to each other, we get 30+25 = 55 When green coloured face is in betwee...

1. If Rs.24586 is to be divided among four persons A,B,C,D such that A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6 and C:D = 7:5, who will get the minimum amount? Answer: Person A Solution: A/B = 3/4     B/C = 5/6   C/D=7/5 Shortcut: The ratio of A:B:C:D is given as (n1*n2*n3) : (d1*n2*n3) : (d1*d2*n3) : (d1*d2*d3). Hence A:B:C:D = (3*5*7):(4*5*7):(4*6*7):(4*6*5) = 105:140:168:120 Hence A will get minimum amount. 2. Three cans contain equal quantities of alcohol and water in the ratios  6:1, 5:2 and 8:3 respectively. If the contents of all three cans are poured into a single vessel, the proportion of alcohol:water in the vessel is Answer: 59:18 Solution: Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 6x:x , 5y:2y and 8z:3z. Proportion of alcohol:water = (6x+5y+8z)/(x+2y+3z). --Eq1 As all the cans contain equal quantities of alcohol and water, 7x = 7y = 11z. Hence x=y and z=7y/11. Substituting in Eq1), the required proportion is (6y + 5y + 56y/11)/(y + 2y + 21y/11) = 177y/54y = 59:18 3. A...
