A printer, numbers the pages of a book starting with 1 and uses 1554 digits in all. How many pages does the book have ?

A455

B554

C612

D374

Answer:

B. 554

Read Explanation:

The single-digit page (From 1 to 9) = 9 digit Double digit page (From 10 to 99) = 2 × 90 = 180 digit Total digit used = 9 + 180 =189 The remaining digit = 1554-189=1365 The number of page with three digits = 1365/3=455 The required number of total page =99+455=554

Out of 15 persons, 14 persons spent Rs. 75 each for their meals. The 15th person spent 70 more than the average expenditure of all the fifteen. The total money spent by all of them was?

A1150

B1055

C1120

D1200

Answer:

D. 1200

Read Explanation:

⇒ Let the average expenditure be ‘x’, As, 14 people spend Rs. 75 each and 15th person spend Rs. 70 more than the average of all persons ⇒ (14 × 75 + x + 70)/15 = x ⇒ (1050 + x + 70) = 15x ⇒x=80 Total expenditure = 14 × 75 + (80 + 70) = 1200

The average of eleven consecutive even numbers is 24.What is the difference between the highest and the lowest numbers?

A20

B18

C10

Dcan not be determined

Answer:

A. 20

Read Explanation:

Sum of 11 consecutive even number is = 24 × 11 = 264 Sn = n/2(2a+(n−1)d) 264 = 11/2(2a + 10 × 2) 264 = 11/2(2a + 20) 2a + 20 = 48 a = 14 highest = 34 Difference = 34 - 14 = 20

X-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളത്തിൻ്റെ 15% Y-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളത്തിൻ്റെ 40%-നും Y-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളത്തിൻ്റെ 25% Z-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളത്തിൻ്റെ 30%-നും തുല്യമാണ്. X-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളം 80000 രൂപയാണെങ്കിൽ, X, Y, Z എന്നിവയുടെ ആകെ ശമ്പളം.

A115000

B135000

C145000

D125000

Answer:

B. 135000

Read Explanation:

15%X = 40%Y X/Y = 40/15 = 8/3 X : Y = 8 : 3 25%Y = 30%Z Y/Z = 30/25 = 6/5 Y : Z = 6 : 5 X : Y : Z = ( 8x6) : (3 x 6) : (5 x 3) = 48 : 18 : 15 = 16 : 6 : 5 X-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളം 80000 രൂപ ആണ് 16 = 80000 ⇒ 1 = 80000/16 = 5000 ⇒ 6 = 6 x 5000 = 30000 ⇒ 5 = 5 x 500 = 25000 മൂന്നുപേരുടെയും ആകെ ശമ്പളം = 80000 + 30000 + 25000 = 135000
