 QUANTITATIVE REASONING

1. Given following sequence, find the next term in the series:

A. 20
B. 24
c. 18
D. 30
E. None of these

ANSWER: D
EXPLANATION
Above series is a combination of two series where terms of both the series are placed in alternate fashion.
Series-I O, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and so on…
In this series every term is 4 greater than its previous term.
Series-2 2, 6, 12, 20, 30…
If we look at this series then we can find out that,
12 = 6 + 6
20 = 12 + 8
30 = 20 + 10
So, next term will be 30.

2. Find the missing number in the series: 2, 5, 19 37, 75.
A. Il
B. 10
C. 9
D. 12
E. None of these
ANSWER: C
EXPLANATION
The pattern followed is:
= 18 + 1 = 19
(19 x 2) – 1 = 38 – 1 = 37
(37 x 2) + 1 – 74 + 1 = 75
Hence missing number is 9.

3. It is the class with the seating arrangement in 4 rows and 8 columns. When the teacher says ‘start’ the girl who is sitting in first row and first column will say 1, then the next girl sitting behind her will say 4, the next girl sitting behind that girl will say 7, in a particular order each girl is telling a number, the following girls told 10, 13 next turn is yours what u will say?

B. 17
C. 14
D. 16
E. None of these
ANSWER: D
EXPLANATION
The series followed is 1, 4, 7, 10, 13…and so on as difference between two consecutive integers is 3 thus I will say 13 16.

4. Fill in the blank spaces in the series with appropriate choices: 40, 33, 24 .
A. 12,16
B. 12, 13
C. 9, Il
D. 13, O
E. None of these
ANSWER: D
EXPLANATION
The pattern in the series is as follows.
The difference between two consecutive numbers is getting increased by 2 starting from 3 as we move from left to right.
48
48 – 45 = 3
45 – 40 = 5
40 _ 33 7
33 — 24 = 9
Hence, the next difference would be 9 + 2 –Il
So, next term to 24 = 24 – 11 = 13
Now, the difference would be 11 + 2 = 13
So, next term to 13 = 13 – 13 = O
Hence, next numbers are 13, O.

5. The sum of 15% of a positive number and 20% of the same number is 126.What is one-third of that number?
A. 360
B. 1080
c. 120
D. 40
E. None of these
ANSWER: C
EXPLANATION
Let the number = x
According to the question
(15/100) x x + (20/100) x – 126
(35/100) x x = 126
35 360
We want to find out x/3 x/3 = 360/3 = 120
So answer is C

6. A certain number of two digits is three times the sum of its digits. If 45 be added to it, the digits are reversed. The number is:
A. 72
B. 32
c. 27
D. 23
E. 34
ANSWER: C
EXPLANATION
Let x and y are the digits of the number with x in ten’s place and y in one’s place.
So, IOx+y is the value of the number.
Given IOx + y = 3 (x + y)
And also given that lox 45 = + x • digits are reversed* x in one’s and y in ten’s place).
Put value of y from eq. (i) to eq. (ii)
And y – 7
So the number is 27

ANSWER: C
EXPLANATION
We can see that p and q can be written in the pairs of (28, 1) or (7,4) or (142)
We have 142 – 22 = 196 192
Also, 72 – 42 = 49 – 16 = 33
Also, 282 – 12 = 784 -l 783
Hence, we can conclude that p2 – q2 = 783

C. IOA+ 8B/5
D. 5A+8B
E None of these
ANSWER: A
EXPLANATION
Money spent on Monday to buy 10 items = A
Money spent on Tuesday to buy 13 items = A + 3B
Money spent on Wednesday to buy 12 items = A + 2B
Money spent on Thursday to buy 1 1 items = A + B
Money spent on Friday to buy 12 items = A + 2B
Hence, total money spent = A + A + 3B + A + 2B + A + B + A + 2B
Average = (5A + 8B)/5
= A + 8B/5
