Anu ranked 8th from the top & 26th from the bottom in a class. How many students are there in the class?
- A.
A. 34
- B.
A. 34
- C.
C. 31
- D.
D. 33
Correct Answer
D. D. 33Explanation
Anu is ranked 8th from the top and 26th from the bottom. This means that there are 7 students ahead of Anu from the top and 25 students below Anu from the bottom. To find the total number of students in the class, we add the number of students ahead of Anu and the number of students below Anu, and then add 1 for Anu. Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 7 + 25 + 1 = 33.Rate this question:

Which of the following numbers gives 240 when added to its own square?
- A.
A. 13
- B.
B. 14
- C.
C. 15
- D.
D. 16
Correct Answer
C. C. 15Explanation
If we let x be the number in question, the problem can be translated into the equation x + x^2 = 240. By rearranging the equation, we get x^2 + x - 240 = 0. This is a quadratic equation that can be factored as (x + 16)(x - 15) = 0. Solving for x, we find that x = -16 or x = 15. Since the question asks for a positive number, the correct answer is C. 15.Rate this question:

Arun has equal numbers of one rupee, five rupee and ten rupee notes with him. If he has 320 rupees with him, what will be the number of each rupee notes? ________
Correct Answer
20,twenty,TWENTY,TwentyExplanation
Since Arun has equal numbers of one rupee, five rupee, and ten rupee notes, we can assume that he has x number of each type of note. So, the total value of the one rupee notes would be 1*x, the total value of the five rupee notes would be 5*x, and the total value of the ten rupee notes would be 10*x. Since Arun has a total of 320 rupees, we can set up the equation 1*x + 5*x + 10*x = 320. Simplifying this equation, we get 16*x = 320. Solving for x, we find that x is equal to 20. Therefore, Arun has 20 one rupee notes, 20 five rupee notes, and 20 ten rupee notes.Rate this question:

Find the missing number in the series. 4, 18, ____, 100, 180, 294, 448
- A.
A. 50
- B.
B. 58
- C.
C. 48
- D.
D. 60
Correct Answer
C. C. 48Explanation
The missing number in the series can be found by observing the pattern. Each number in the series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a specific value and then adding a constant. In this case, the pattern seems to be multiplying by 4 and then subtracting 6. Starting with 4, we multiply by 4 to get 16, then subtract 6 to get 10, multiply by 4 again to get 40, and subtract 6 to get 34. Continuing this pattern, the missing number should be obtained by multiplying 40 by 4 to get 160, and then subtracting 6 to get 154. Therefore, the missing number is 154, which is not one of the given options. Hence, the correct answer is C. 48.Rate this question:

70 # 30 % 80 $ 20 @ 10
= (70 - 30) + (80 + 20) * 10
= 40 + 100 * 10
= 40 + 1000
= 1040
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 80.Rate this question:
