Question : Evaluate $\frac{0.04}{0.05}$ of $\frac{\left(3 \frac{1}{3}-2 \frac{1}{2}\right) \div \frac{1}{2} \text { of } 1 \frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5} \text { of } \frac{1}{9}}$
Option 1: 0.3
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 0.03
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : Given expression, $\frac{0.04}{0.05}$ of $\frac{\left(3 \frac{1}{3}-2 \frac{1}{2}\right) \div \frac{1}{2} \text { of } 1 \frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5} \text { of } \frac{1}{9}}$ = $\frac45\times\frac{(\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{2})\div\frac12\times\frac54}{\frac13+\frac15\times\frac19}$ Using the BODMAS rule, = $\frac45\times\frac{(\frac{20-15}{6})\div\frac12\times\frac54}{\frac13+\frac{1}{45}}$ = $\frac45\times\frac{(\frac{20-15}{6})\div\frac58}{\frac13+\frac{1}{45}}$ = $\frac45\times\frac{\frac56\times\frac85}{\frac{15+1}{45}}$ = $\frac45\times\frac{\frac43}{\frac{15+1}{45}}$ = $\frac45\times\frac{4\times 45}{3\times 16}$ = $\frac{4\times 15}{5\times 4}$ = 3 Hence,
Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. AMV, FQX, KUZ, __?
Option 1: PYB
Option 2: OXA
Option 3: NYB
Option 4: MYB
Correct Answer: PYB
Solution : Given: AMV, FQX, KUZ, __?
In the given series, add 5, 4, and 2 to the place value of the first, second, and third letters of each term to get the next term – AMV→A + 5 = F, M + 4 = Q, V
Question : Solve the following. $\frac{24 \div \frac{3}{8} \text { of }(8+2 \times \overline{7-3})+\left[\frac{2}{11} \div \frac{4}{55}-\left\{\frac{5}{8}+\frac{6}{16}\right\}\right]}{32 \div \overline{15-7}+75 \div(6+15 \div 3+4)} $
Option 1: $\frac{23}{27}$
Option 2: $\frac{9}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{11}{18}$
Option 4: $\frac{15}{19}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{11}{18}$
Solution : $⇒\frac{24 \div \frac{3}{8} \text { of }(8+2 \times \overline{7-3})+\left[\frac{2}{11} \div \frac{4}{55}-\left\{\frac{5}{8}+\frac{6}{16}\right\}\right]}{32 \div \overline{15-7}+75 \div(6+15 \div 3+4)}$ First, we have to solve Vinculum, $⇒\frac{24 \div \frac{3}{8} \text { of }(8+2 \times 4)+\left[\frac{2}{11} \div \frac{4}{55}-\left\{\frac{5}{8}+\frac{6}{16}\right\}\right]}{32 \div 8+75 \div(6+15 \div 3+4)}$ Now, we have to solve Brackets $⇒\frac{24

Option 1: 5 : 6
Option 2: 10 : 9
Option 3: 6 : 5
Option 4: 9 : 10
Correct Answer: 10 : 9
Solution : The area of a triangle is given by the formula $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$. Given that the areas of the two triangles are in the ratio 4 : 3 and their heights are in the ratio 6 : 5. $\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base}_1

Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes –, and D denotes ÷, then what will come in place of (?) in the following equation? 48 D 12 A ($\sqrt{36}$ B 3) C 19 A 24 = ?
Option 1: 31
Option 2: 27
Option 3: 35
Option 4: 22
Correct Answer: 27
Solution : Given: 48 D 12 A ($\sqrt{36}$ B 3) C 19 A 24 = ?
After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get – = 48 ÷ 12 + ($\sqrt{36}$ × 3) – 19 + 24 = 4 + ($\sqrt{36}$ × 3) – 19
Question : Directions: Select the option that represents the letters that when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks will complete the letter series. _ad_vk_a_dvv_raa_v_kr
