Question : Direction: The table given below shows the statistics of the top 10 scores in IPL 2016. A few entries are missing in the table. Here INN, AVG and SR stand for innings played, batting average, and batting strike rate respectively. Based on the table answer the following question. (Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{balls faced}}\times $100) and AVG = $\frac{\text {Runs}}{\text {INN – NOT OUT}}$
By what percentage approximately is the batting average of Virat Kohli more than that of Gautam Gambhir?
Option 1: 80
Option 2: 85
Option 3: 75
Option 4: 70
Correct Answer: 85
Solution : Virat Kohli's batting average = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{Inning – Not out}}$ = $\frac{752}{12-3}$ = 83.66 Also, batting average of Gautam Gambhir = 44.9 So, the required percentage = $\frac{\text{Difference in batting average}}{\text{Batting average of Gautam Gambhir}}×100$ = $\frac{83.66-44.9}{44.9}×100$ = $\frac{38.37}{44.9}×100$ = 85.45% (approx) Hence, the correct answer is 85.
Question : Directions: In the following question, one statement is given followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statement. Statement: Songs always have singers to sing them. Conclusions: I. Singers make a song. II. There is no un-sung song.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion I follows
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Solution : According to the given statement – Conclusion I: Singers make a song. This conclusion does not necessarily follow from the given statement. The statement mentions that songs have singers to sing them, which implies a relationship between singers and songs, but it does not explicitly state that singers make the song itself. A song can be created by songwriters, composers, or musicians, and singers may interpret or perform those songs. Conclusion II: There is no un-sung song. This conclusion is not directly addressed in the given statement. The statement indicates that songs have singers to sing them, but it does not make any claims about the existence or absence of un-sung songs. The statement is focused on the role of singers in singing songs, not on the status of un-sung songs.
So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : What the least value should be added to 2505 so that it becomes a perfect square?
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 20
Option 3: 70
Option 4: 96
Correct Answer: 96
Solution : 2505 + $x$ = perfect square The perfect square nearest to 2505 is 2601 = 512 $\therefore x$ = 2601 – 2505 = 96 Hence, the correct answer is 96.
Question : (0.1 × 0.01 × 0.001 × 107) is equal to:
Option 1: 100
Option 2: 10–1
Option 3: 10–2
Option 4: 10
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Given: (0.1 × 0.01 × 0.001 × 107) = 0.1 × 0.01 × 0.001 × 107 = 10–1 × 10–2 × 10–3 × 107 = 10–6 × 107 = 10 Hence, the correct answer is 10.
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the given figure (X) is embedded (rotation is NOT allowed).
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : Since there is a restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check where the question figure can exactly fit itself in the given option figures. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the fourth option figure.
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option figure that is embedded in the figure (X) given below (rotation is not allowed).
Solution : Since there is a restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check which of the option figures can exactly fit in the given question figure. By comparison of all the option figures, only the first option figure is embedded in the given question figure.
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers are 1386 and 3 : 7 : 11, respectively. The sum of the greatest and least numbers is:
Option 1: 60
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 84
Option 4: 108
Correct Answer: 84
Solution : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers = 1386 Let the numbers be $3x, 7x,$ and $11x$. According to the question: $(3\times7\times11)x=1386$ ⇒ $231x=1386$ $\therefore x=6$ Thus, Least number $= 3x=3\times6=18$ Greatest number $=11x=11\times6=66$ $\therefore$ Sum $=18+66=84$ Hence, the correct answer is 84.
