Correct Answer: 4025

Solution : Number of workers in Category B was 1500 in the year 1995.
It is given that 15% of the workers are in Category B.
So, 15% of the workers are in Category B = 1500
$\therefore$ 25% of workers in Category D $= \frac{1500}{15}×25=2500$
In 1996, the number of workers in Category B increased by 10%.
So, workers in Category B in 1996 $= \frac{110}{100}×1500=1650$
In 1996, the number of workers in Category D decreased by 5% in 1996.
So, workers in Category D in 1996 $= \frac{95}{100}×2500=2375$
$\therefore$ Total workers in Category B and D in 1996 = 1650 + 2375 = 4025
Hence, the correct answer is 4025.

Correct Answer: andaa

Solution : Given:–
ab_d_aaba_na_badna_badna

To fill the series we have to divide the series→ab_d_a / aba_na / _badna / _badna
Let's check each option –
First option:babda; abbdaa / ababna / dbadna / abadna (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Second option: andaa; abadna / abadna / abadna / abadna (abadna is repeated in the series.)
Third option: badna; abbdaa / abadna / nbadna / abadna (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Fourth option: dbanb; abddba / abaana / nbadna / bbadna (No repeated pattern has been found.)

So, the series becomes→abadnaabadnaabadnaabadna. Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: 2

Solution : Given: $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=ab+bc+ca$
⇒ $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-ab-bc-ca=0$
⇒ $\frac{1}{2}\left[(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2}\right]=0$
⇒ $(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2}=0$
The square of any real number is always non-negative.
Therefore, we have:
$(a-b)^{2}=0 \Rightarrow a=b$
$(b-c)^{2}=0 \Rightarrow b=c$
$(c-a)^{2}=0 \Rightarrow c=a$
Thus, we have $a=b=c$. Now, we can calculate $\frac{a+c}{b}$ as follows:
$\frac{a+c}{b}=\frac{a+a}{a}=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
