1. Sunny has two bags (X & Y) that contain black and white balls.In the Bag ‘X’ there are 6 black and 8 white balls and in the Bag ‘Y’ there are 6 black and 6 white balls. One ball is drawn out from any of these two bags. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white ?

A. 13/28
B. 15/28
C. 17/28
D. 23/28
E. None of these

Sol. Total balls in bag X = 14, Total balls in bag Y = 12
Probability selectng white ball from bag X = 1/2(8c1/14c1) = 2/7
Probability selectng white ball from bag Y = 1/2(6c1/12c1) = 1/4
Total Probability = 2/7 + 1/4 =15/28.

2. 16  26  42  136  ?

A. 534
B. 524
C. 494
D. 484
E. None of these

Sol. The series is  ×1+10,  ×2-10,  ×3+10,  ×4-10

3.  5, 6, 16, 57, 244, 1245

A. 7500
B. 7506
C. 7502
D. 7508
E. None of these

Sol. 5*1 + 1^2 = 6
     6*2 + 2^2 = 16
    16*3 + 3^2 = 57
    57*4 + 4^2 = 244
   244*5 + 5^2 = 1245
  1245*6 + 6^2 = 7506

4. 95, 60, 36, 21, 13, _

A. 8
B. 9
C. 10
D. 11
E. 12

Sol. 95 - 60 = 35
     60 - 36 = 24
     36 - 21 = 15
     21 - 13 = 8
     13 - 10 = 3

     35 - 24 = 11
     24 - 15 = 9
     15 - 8  = 7
      8 - 3  = 5

5. The product of the ages of suresh and ramesh is 240. If ramesh would have been twice his age then he will be 4 yrs elder to suresh. What is ramesh's age now ?

A. 16
B. 12
C. 24
D. 18
E. None of these

Sol. Now assume age of suresh to be 'x'
And assume age of ramesh to be 'y'

According to the question, xy = 240
Also given that, 2y = x + 4

Solving we get, y = 12 yrs.

6. If a car travels a distance of 300 km in 8 hours, partly at a speed of 40 kmh-1 and partly at 30 kmh-1, what is the distance it travelled at the speed of 40 kmh-1?

A. 200 km 
B. 210 km 
C. 220 km 
D. 240 km 
E. None of these

Sol. Lets assume at 40 km/hr the car covers 'x' km
Then at 30 km/hr it will cover '300-x' km

According tot he question, x/40 + (300-x)/30 = 8
Solving we get, x = 240 km.

7. 12, 19, 26, 93, 356, _

A. 1800
B. 1795
C. 1786
D. 1805
E. None of these

Sol. 12*1 + (1*7) = 19
     19*2 - (2*6) = 26
     26*3 + (3*5) = 93
     93*4 - (4*4) = 356
    356*5 + (5*3) = 1795

8. 25, 32, 53, 88, 137, _

A. 195
B. 200
C. 205
D. 210
E. None of these

Sol. 25 + (7*1) = 32
     32 + (7*3) = 53
     53 + (7*5) = 88
     88 + (7*7) = 137
    137 + (7*9) = 200

9. 3, 5, 13, 43, 177, _

A. 890
B. 889
C. 891
D. 892
E. None of these

Sol. 3*1 + 2 = 5
     5*2 + 3 = 13
    13*3 + 4 = 43
    43*4 + 5 = 177
   177*5 + 6 = 891

10. In a school of X students ,when Rahul was absent , the number of students could be divided into groups of 6 each If both Rahul and Varun were absent ,the remaining could be divided into groups of 6 each. What is the minimum possible value of X ? 

A. 63
B. 37
C. 51
D. 42
E. None of these

Sol. If 1 Student is absent the no. of students should be in the form of 6a + 1
7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43 …
If 2 Students are absent the no. of students should be in the form of 7b + 2
9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44 …
So take the common term as 37.
