135 , 45 ,180 , 60 , 240 , 80, .........

Correct Answer
320

Explanation
The given series follows a pattern where each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3. Starting with 135, the next number is 135 * 3 = 405. Then, 405 is multiplied by 3 to get 1215. This pattern continues, with each number being multiplied by 3 to obtain the next number. Therefore, the missing number in the series is 80 * 3 = 240, and the correct answer is 320.

If an object travels at five feet per second, how many feet does it travel in one hour?
- A.
  
  300
- B.
  
  720
- C.
  
  1800
- D.
  
  18000
- E.
  
  21000
Correct Answer
D. 18000

Explanation
If an object travels at a rate of five feet per second, to find out how many feet it travels in one hour, we need to convert the time from seconds to hours. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, so there are 60*60=3600 seconds in an hour. Therefore, if the object travels at five feet per second, it will travel 5*3600=18000 feet in one hour.

It is also home to the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the world. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest, followed by the Indian Ocean.

The zoo had some lions and some parrots. The keeper counted 15 heads and 50 legs. How many Lions were there?
- A.
  
  9
- B.
  
  11
- C.
  
  12
- D.
  
  10
Correct Answer
D. 10

Explanation
To solve this problem, we can use a system of equations. Let's assume that there are "x" lions and "y" parrots in the zoo. Lions have 4 legs each, while parrots have 2 legs each. From the given information, we can create two equations: x + y = 15 (total number of heads) and 4x + 2y = 50 (total number of legs). Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that x = 10, which means there are 10 lions in the zoo.
