Correct Answer: B. 5.5.

Explanation:

The first 10 natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

The sum of the first n natural numbers is given by the formula:

Sum = n(n+1)/2

For n = 10, the sum is:

Sum = 10(10+1)/2 = 10 × 11 / 2 = 110 / 2 = 55.

The average is calculated as:

Average = Sum of numbers / Number of numbers

Average = 55 / 10 = 5.5.

Correct Answer: B. 26. Let the two numbers be x and y, with x > y. We have x + y = 45 and x – y = 7. Adding the two equations gives 2x = 52, so x = 26.

Correct Answer: A. 40. For any two numbers, the product of their LCM and HCF is equal to the product of the numbers. So, LCM * HCF = Number 1 * Number 2. 120 * 10 = 30 * Number 2. Number 2 = (120 * 10) / 30 = 1200 / 30 = 40.

Correct Answer: B. 12:20:35. To find the combined ratio, make the ‘b’ values equal. Multiply the first ratio by 4 and the second by 5. a:b = 12:20 and b:c = 20:35. Therefore, a:b:c = 12:20:35.

Correct Answer: B. ₹2100. Amount after 2 years = P(1 + R/100)^T = 10000(1 + 10/100)^2 = 10000(1.1)^2 = 10000 * 1.21 = ₹12100. Compound Interest = Amount – Principal = ₹12100 – ₹10000 = ₹2100.

Correct Answer: B. 40. Sum of the initial 5 numbers = Average * Number of terms = 20 * 5 = 100. Sum of the remaining 4 numbers = 15 * 4 = 60. The excluded number = Initial sum – Remaining sum = 100 – 60 = 40.

Correct Answer: B. 6 days. A’s one day work = 1/10. B’s one day work = 1/15. (A + B)’s one day work = 1/10 + 1/15 = (3 + 2) / 30 = 5/30 = 1/6. So, they will take 6 days to complete the work together.

Correct Answer: B. 18 km. Speed = 72 km/hr. Time = 15 minutes = 15/60 hours = 1/4 hour. Distance = Speed * Time = 72 * (1/4) = 18 km.

Correct Answer: C. 1.205. 0.360 + 0.045 + 0.800 = 1.205

Correct Answer: C. 12. Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36. The highest common factor is 12.

Correct Answer: B. 7:8. Let x = 2k and y = 3k. (2x + y) : (x + 2y) = (2(2k) + 3k) : (2k + 2(3k)) = (4k + 3k) : (2k + 6k) = 7k : 8k = 7:8.

Correct Answer: C. 60. Let the original number be x. x + 0.20x = 72 => 1.20x = 72 => x = 72 / 1.20 = 60.

Correct Answer: C. ₹200. Let the cost price be CP. Selling Price (SP) = CP – 0.10CP = 0.90CP. 0.90CP = 180 => CP = 180 / 0.90 = ₹200.

Correct Answer: B. 30 kg. Total weight of 3 boys = 30 * 3 = 90 kg. Weight of the first two boys = 25 + 35 = 60 kg. Weight of the third boy = 90 – 60 = 30 kg.

Correct Answer: C. 6 days. Total work = Men * Days = 5 * 12 = 60 man-days. Time taken by 10 men = Total work / Number of men = 60 / 10 = 6 days.

Correct Answer: B. 48 km/hr. Let the total distance be 2d. Time taken for the first half = d/40. Time taken for the second half = d/60. Total time = d/40 + d/60 = (3d + 2d) / 120 = 5d/120 = d/24. Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 2d / (d/24) = 2d * (24/d) = 48 km/hr.

Correct Answer: B. 200. Total number of students = 30 + 35 + 40 + 45 + 50 = 200.

Correct Answer: C. 0.008. (0.2)^3 = 0.2 * 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.008

Correct Answer: C. 4% decrease. Let the number be 100. After a 20% increase, it becomes 120. After a 20% decrease, it becomes 120 – (20/100)*120 = 120 – 24 = 96. Net change = 100 – 96 = 4 decrease. Percentage change = (4/100) * 100 = 4% decrease.

Correct Answer: B. 35 years. Let the present ages of A and B be 5x and 6x respectively. After 7 years, their ages will be 5x + 7 and 6x + 7. (5x + 7) / (6x + 7) = 6/7. 7(5x + 7) = 6(6x + 7) => 35x + 49 = 36x + 42 => x = 7. Present age of A = 5x = 5 * 7 = 35 years.

Correct Answer: B. 20%. Let the cost price be ₹100. Marked price = ₹100 + 50% of ₹100 = ₹150. Selling price = ₹150 – 20% of ₹150 = ₹150 – ₹30 = ₹120. Gain = ₹120 – ₹100 = ₹20. Gain percentage = (20/100) * 100 = 20%.

Correct Answer: B. 16 years. Let the principal be P. Amount = 2P. Simple Interest (SI) = 2P – P = P. P = (P * R * 8) / 100 => R = 100/8 = 12.5%. Now, for the amount to be 3P, SI = 3P – P = 2P. 2P = (P * 12.5 * T) / 100 => T = (200) / 12.5 = 16 years.

Correct Answer: D. 50 seconds. Speed of the train = 36 km/hr = 36 * (5/18) = 10 m/s. Total distance to be covered = Length of train + Length of bridge = 200 + 300 = 500 meters. Time taken = Distance / Speed = 500 / 10 = 50 seconds.

Correct Answer: C. 28. Sum of the initial 6 numbers = 18 * 6 = 108. Sum of the remaining 5 numbers = 16 * 5 = 80. The removed number = 108 – 80 = 28.
