For the following questions answer them individually

Question 1

In the following set of numbers if ‘1’ is added to the last digit of and then the order of digits is reversed ,which of the following will be
the fourth if arranged in the ascending order 567 284 696 865 738

B 284

C 696

D 865

E 738

Answer: A

After arranging in ascending order = 582 , 668 , 796 , 865 , 937

Thus, 4th from left = 865 ≡ 567

=> Ans - (A)

Question 5

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way (based on their positions of alphabets in the English alphabetical series) and

B EIH

C KOM

D TXV

Downloaded from cracku.in

E LPN

Answer: B

Explanation:
BCDEF = BFD (1st -5th-3rd)

KLMNO = KOM(1st -5th-3rd)

TUVWX = TXV (1st -5th-3rd)

LMNOP = LPN(1st -5th-3rd)

EFGHI = it should be EIG but it is given as EIH and hence this is the odd one out

Question 6

The sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570. The square of the smaller number is 5329. What is the other number?

A 73

B 75

C 78

D 79

E 80

Answer: D

Explanation:
let the two numbers be a and b , where b is the smaller number

(a)2 + (b)2 = 11570

(a)2 + 5329 = 11570
(a)2 = 6241 = 79 x 79
a = 79

Hence option D is correct
