Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one number missing. Select the missing number from the given series.
?, 5, 15, 45, 113

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given:
?, 5, 15, 45, 113

Add natural numbers starting from 1 and their cube to get the next term of the series –
? + {(1)3 + 1} = ? – {1 + 1} = 5 – 2 = 3
5 + {(2)3 + 2} = 5 + {8 + 2} = 15
15 + {(3)3 + 3} = 15 + {27 + 3} = 45
45 + {(4)3 + 4} = 45 + {64 + 4} = 113

So, the required missing term is 3. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The average weight of three men, A, B and C is 84 kg. Another man, D, joins the group and the average now becomes 80 kg. If another man, E, whose weight is 3 kg more than that of D, replaces A, then the average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 79 kg. Then the weight of A is:

Option 1: 72 kg

Option 2: 74 kg

Option 3: 75 kg

Option 4: 76 kg

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 75 kg


Solution : Given: The average weight of three men, A, B, and C, is 84 kg. Another man, D, joins the group and the average now becomes 80 kg. If another man, E, whose weight is 3 kg more than that of D, replaces A, then the average weight of B, C, D, and E becomes 79 kg.
Total weight of A + B + C = (84 × 3) = 252 kg
Total weight of A + B + C + D = (80 × 4) = 320 kg
So, the weight of D = (320 – 252) = 68 kg
Now weight of E = (68 + 3) = 71 kg
Total weight of B + C + D + E = (79 × 4) = 316 kg
So, the total weight of B + C = (316 – 68 – 71) = 177 kg
$\therefore$ The weight of A = (252 – 177) = 75 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 75 kg.

Question : A wristwatch is sold for INR 1,200 at a profit percentage equal to its cost price. Find the cost price of the wristwatch.

Option 1: INR 400

Option 2: INR 250

Option 3: INR 350

Option 4: INR 300

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 300


Solution : Let the cost price of the watch be $x$.
The selling price of the wristwatch = INR 1,200
Profit percentage = $\frac{1200-x}{x}×100$
According to the question,
$x=\frac{1200-x}{x}×100$
$⇒x^2+100x-120000=0$
$⇒x^2+400x-300x-120000=0$
$⇒(x-300)(x+400)=0$
$\therefore x=300,-400$
$x$ can't be negative, because the price of the watch can't be negative.
So, $x=300$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 300.
