If a/b = 2/3, b/c = 1, c/d = 1/2, d/e = 3 and e/f = 1/2 then what is the value of abc/def?

If a/b = 2/3, b/c = 1, c/d = 1/2, d/e = 3 and e/f = 1/2 then what is the value of abc/def?




Solution -

3/8
(a/b)*(b/c)*(c/d)=(2/3)*(1)*(1/2)=a/d=1/3
(b/c)*(c/d)*(d/e)=(1)*(1/2)*(3)=b/e=3/2
(c/d)*(d/e)*(e/f)=(1/2)*(3)*(1/2)=c/f=3/4
multiply the three=a.b.c/(d.e.f)=3/8

If a × b × v × d × e = 1 and a,b v,d,e are all positive real numbers; what is the minimum value of a

If a × b × v × d × e = 1 and a,b v,d,e are all positive real numbers; what is the minimum value of a




Solution -

if a*b=1 and a and b re +ve (a+b) >2(get by squaring a+b). minimum should be 5 for a+b+c+d+e when all are 1

Can you replace each alphabet with the number (1 - 9) to make below equation correct ? AB * C = DE

Can you replace each alphabet with the number (1 - 9) to make below equation correct ?

AB * C = DE - F = GH / I






Solution -

AB * C = DE - F = GH / I ===> (39*1 = 45-6 = 78/2) = 39.

A quantity x varies inversely as the square of y. Given that x = 4 when y = 3, the value of x when y

A quantity x varies inversely as the square of y. Given that x = 4 when y = 3, the value of x when y




Solution -

x=k/(y*y). From given data 4=k/(3*3) gives k=36
Thus x=36/(y*y)
When y=6, x=36/(6*6) means x=1 answer

If 20 % 5 = 24; 21 % 7 = 33; 42 % 6 = 67 Then; 66 % 6 = ?

If
20 % 5 = 24

21 % 7 = 33

42 % 6 = 67

Then;

66 % 6 = ?






Solution -

logic : 20/5 = 4 & 2+0 =2 => 20%5 =24
ans is 1211

If 1 +1 = 2, 3 + 3 = 6, 13 + 24 = 40, 14 + 25 = 42 Then 41 + 52 = ?

If 1 +1 = 2, 3 + 3 = 6, 13 + 24 = 40, 14 + 25 = 42 Then 41 + 52 = ?




Solution -

Ans : 102

Solution:
1 + 1 = 2
01 + 01 = (01 + 01 + 0 + 0) = 2

3 + 3 = 6
03 + 03 = (03 + 03 + 0 + 0) = 6

13 + 24 = 40
(13 + 24 + 1 + 2) = 40

14 + 25 = 42
(14 + 25 + 1 + 2) = 42

41 + 52 = ?
(41 + 52 + 4 + 5) = 102

If, a + a = 10; a + @ = 15; a + e = 25 Then; a + @ + e = ??

If,

a + a = 10

a + @ = 15

a + e = 25

Then;

a + @ + e = ??






Solution -

Given,
a + a = 10
i.e.
2a = 10,
so a = 5.......................................(i)

a + @ = 15,
@ = 15 - a, but a = 5,
so @ = 10....................................(ii)

a + e = 25,
e = 25 - a, but a = 5,
so, e = 20.....................................(iii)

adding the three equations above, we have

a + @ + e = 5 + 10 + 20
which gives,

a + @ + e = 35

What is the missing number of the following sequence - 5, 39, 8, 9, 40, 11, 13, 27, 14, 15, ??, 17

What is the missing number of the following sequence - 5, 39, 8, 9, 40, 11, 13, 27, 14, 15, ??, 17




Solution -

5, 39, 8, 9, 40, 11, 13, 27, 14, 15, ......, 17
(5, 39, 8), (9, 40, 11), (13, 27, 14), (15, ......, 17)
a b c
b = c^2 - a^2
8^2-5^2 = 64-25 = 39
11^2-9^2 = 121-81 = 40
14^2-13^2 = 196-169 = 27
Similarly
17^2-15^2 = 289-225 = 64

What Comes Next In The Sequence; 36, 31, 29, 24, 22, 17, 15, ?

36-31=5
31-29=2
29-24=5
24-22=2
22-17=5
17-15=2
15-x=5 ,..... 15-5=x

so x =10






Solution -

36 - 5 = 31
31 - 2 = 29
29 - 5 = 24
24 - 2 = 22
22 - 5 = 17
17 - 2 = 15
15 - 5 = 10.

What comes next in the sequence; AF, BE CF, DI, FD, ??

Answer --HA

Explanation--

AF =16 (4^2)
BE= 25(5^2)
CF= 36(6^2)
DI = 49(7^2)
FD = 64(8^2)

HA =81(9^2)






Solution -

We will transform the combination of two letters in numbers based on their positioin the alphabet
Therefore, we can write the following:
AF = 16, BE = 25, CF =36 , DI = 49, FD = 64
Now we have the series: ( 16,25,36,49,64,?)
The next number will be: 16 + 9 = 25, 25+11=36, 36+13=49, 49+15=64 , and 64 + 17= 81
81 = HA
The answer is HA

A metal cylinder of base 5 cm and height 12 cm is melted to make n solid cones of height 1 cm and base radius 1 mm.
What is the value of n?






Solution -

The volume of the cylinder must be equal to the volume of n cones
Volume of the cylinder V = pi x 5^2 x 12
Volume of n cones V = n x (pi x 0,1^2 x 1)/ 3
Then,
pi x 25 x 12 = n x (pi x 0,01 x 1)/3
n = 90000 cones

Eesha has completed 68% of her 250-page book. How many pages has she written?

Eesha has completed 68% of her 250-page book. How many pages has she written?




Solution -

170 pages; if you multiply 0.68*250, you get 170. You multiply because you are taking the percentage of the finished piece, making it a fraction out of a whole (in this case, out of 1), then multiplying it by 250 because 250 is the whole project.

Find the number that comes next in the following series: 3, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 25, 30, 41, 45,

Find the number that comes next in the following series:

3, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 25, 30, 41, 45, 52, 54, 56, 59, 61, 65, 70, ?






Solution -

It follow the logic below:
3
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 5 = 12
12 + 2 = 14
14 + 2 = 16
16 + 3 = 19
19 + 2 = 21
21 + 4 = 25
2 5 + 5 = 30
30 + 11= 41
41 + 4 = 45
45 + 7 = 52
52 + 2 = 54
54 + 2 = 56
56 + 3 = 59
59 + 2 = 61
61 + 4 = 65
65 + 5 = 70
Now, Let us look at sequence ( 4,5,2,2,3,2,4,5,11,4,7,2,2,3,2,4,5)
Then for the nexy three numbers, will use 11,4,7
So the next three numbers will be : 70 +11= 81, 81+4=85, 85+7 = 92
