Question : Two positive numbers differ by 3951. When the larger number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 12 and the remainder is 13. The sum of the digits of the larger number is:
Option 1: 12
Option 2: 16
Option 3: 18
Option 4: 14
Correct Answer: 16
Solution : Let the bigger number be $x$ and the smaller number be $y$. Given that $x-y=3951$-----------------(1) Also, According to the question, $x=y×12+13$ $⇒x-12y=13$-----------------------(2) Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get, $11y=3938$ ⇒ $y = 358$ So, $x=3951+358=4309$ $\therefore$ The sum of the digits of the larger number = 4 + 3 + 0 + 9 = 16 Hence, the correct answer is 16.
Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Annoy
Option 1: Graze
Option 2: Mystify
Option 3: Employ
Option 4: Satisfy

The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes –, and D denotes ÷, then what will come in place of (?) in the following equation? 34 A 15 B 3 C 11 B 2 A (51 D 17) = ?
Option 1: 60
Option 2: 58
Option 3: 65
Option 4: 53
Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Given: 34 A 15 B 3 C 11 B 2 A (51 D 17) = ?
After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get – ⇒ 34 + 15 × 3 – 11 × 2 + ( 51 ÷ 17) ⇒ 34 + 15 × 3 – 11 × 2 + 3 ⇒ 34 + 45 – 22 + 3 = 60
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their HCF is 5. Their LCM is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 15
Option 4: 12
Solution : Given: Ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their HCF is 5. Here, the common factor is 5. So, the numbers will be 3 $\times$ 5 = 15 and 4 $\times$ 5 = 20 Now, 15 = 3 × 5 and 20 = 4 × 5 LCM = 3 × 4 × 5 = 60 Hence, the correct answer is 60.
Question : If the arc of a circle of radius 30 cm has a length of 19 cm, then the angle (in degrees, rounded off to two decimal places) subtended at the centre of the circle is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 51.25
Option 2: 16.27
Option 3: 36.27
Option 4: 46.25
Correct Answer: 36.27
Solution : Given: Length of the arc of a circle = 19 cm Radius = 30 cm We know that, Length of the arc = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times 2 \pi r$ ⇒ $19= \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times 2 \times\frac{22}{7}\times 30$ ⇒ $\theta=\frac{19\times7 }{2\times 22\times 30}\times 360^\circ$ ⇒ $\theta=36.27^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is 36.27.
Question : A six-digit number 763254 is divisible by 18. If we subtract five times of 41 from the number, then the new number which is formed will be divisible by:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 7
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 7
Solution : Given: The number 763254 is divisible by 18. 5 times of 41 from the number is subtracted = 763254 – 5 × 41 = 763254 – 205 = 763049 Now, Using divisibility rules: For 2, if its last digit is even. For 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 = 7 + 6 + 3 + 0 + 4 + 9 = 29 For 5, if its last digit is 0 or 5. For 7, multiply the last digit by 2, and subtract it from the rest of the number; if the result is divisible by 7 = 76304 – 2 × 9 = 76304 – 18 = 76286, which is divisible by 7. So, the number is divisible by 7. Hence, the correct answer is 7.
Question : A principal of Rs. 10,000, after 2 years compounded annually, the rate of interest is 10% per annum during the first year and 12% per annum during the second year (in rupees) will amount to:
Option 1: Rs. 12,000
Option 2: Rs. 12,320
Option 3: Rs. 12,500
Option 4: Rs. 11,320
Correct Answer: Rs. 12,320
Solution : Principal = Rs. 10,000 Rate at first year = 10% Amount after 2 years= $P(1+\frac{R_1}{100})(1+\frac{R_2}{100})$ to solve this where $P$ is principal, $R_1$ and $R_2$ are the rates of interest per annum for two successive years. $\therefore$ Amount after two years = $10000(1+\frac{10}{100})(1+\frac{12}{100})$ = 12,320 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 12,320.
