41. The sum of the present age of the father and the son is 60 years. After 15 years, the father’s age will be twice that of the son. The present age of the son is :
(A) 10 years (B) 25 years (C) 18 years (D) 15 years

Answer:- (D) 15 years

Solution:-

Let the present age of the son be x years.
Then, the father’s present age = (60 – x) years.
After 15 years,
Age of the son = (x + 15) years
Age of the father = (60 – x + 15) = (75 – x) years
According to the given condition,
75 – x = 2(x + 15)
or, 75 – x = 2x + 30
or, 3x = 45
or, x = 15
Therefore, the present age of the son is 15 years.

43. Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their sum equals 49. The two numbers are :
(A) 16, 33 (B) 18, 31 (C) 21, 28 (D) 24, 25

Answer:- (C) 21, 28

Solution:- 

Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x.
According to the given condition, 3x + 4x = 49
or, 7x = 49
or, x = 7
Therefore, the two numbers are 3x = 37 = 21 and 4x = 47 = 28.

44. (−1)⁵ +(−1)⁶ equals :

(A) 40 (B) 48 (C) 60 (D) 64

Answer:- (B) 48

Solution:-

40% of 60 = 40/100 × 60 = 0.4 × 60 = 24
60% of 40 = 60/100 × 40 = 0.6 × 40 = 24

Adding both: 24 + 24 = 48

47. Addition of two Roman numbers XIV+IV equals :

48. (x² −3x−4)÷(x+1)=? (x≠−1)
(A) x−4 (B) x−3 (C) x−2 (D) x−1

Answer:- (A) x−4

Solution:- 

The expression can be factored as:(x² −3x−4) = (x-4) (x+1)

Now, we divide the factored form by (x + 1)
⇒ (x – 4)(x + 1) ÷ (x + 1)
⇒ (x – 4)

49. The fractional form of the recurring number 5.121212 . . . is :
(A) 507/90 (B) 517/99 (C) 517/90 (D) 507/99

Answer:- (D) 507/99

Solution:-

Let x = 5.121212…
Multiplying both sides by 100:
⇒100x = 512.121212…

Subtracting the first equation from the second:
⇒99x = 507

Dividing both sides by 99:
⇒x = 507/99

(A) 100 cm²
(B) 50 cm²
(C) 64 cm²
(D) 48 cm²

Answer:- (B) 50 cm²

Let the side of the square be ‘a’.
Given, diagonal = 10 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem:
a²+ a²= 10² ( Since two sides of a square is equal)
2a² = 100
a² = 50

Area of the square = a²= 50 cm²

53. The sum of any two integers is :

55. The square of a smaller number is subtracted from the square of a larger number and the result is equal to the difference of the larger and the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is :
(A) 0 (B) 1/2 (C) 1 (D) 2

Answer:- (C) 1

Solution:- 

Let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y.

According to the problem:
x² – y² = x – y
(x + y)(x – y) = (x – y)

Since x ≠ y, we can cancel out (x – y) from both sides:
x + y = 1

56. The sum of the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, . . . . . upto 15 terms is :
(A) 225 (B) 125 (C) 169 (D) 196

(A) 20 (B) 8 (C) 10 (D) 6

Answer:- (B) 8

Solution:-

We know, the Product of any two numbers = LCM × HCF

Let the other number be x.
So, 12 × x = 24 × 4
x = (24 × 4) / 12
x = 8

Similarly, March 1 and April 1 will also be Monday.

Therefore, April 28 will also be Monday.

59. If m is a digit and the number 46 m 23 is divisible by 9, then the digit m is equal to :
(A) 1 (B) 0 (C) 5 (D) 3

Answer:- (D) 3

Solution:-

For a number to be divisible by 9, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 9.

So, 4 + 6 + m + 2 + 3 = 15 + m must be divisible by 9.

The smallest value of m that makes 15 + m divisible by 9 is m = 3.

Therefore, the digit m is 3.

60. A garden has p numbers of trees. Every tree has q number of branches, every branch has r number

113. Identify the next set in the series :
L3P, R4W, Y5E, G6N, ?
(A) O7V (B) R7W (C) Q7W (D) P7X

Answer:- (A) O7V

• The first letter of each set follows the sequence L, R, Y, G. We can see that the letters move five steps forward in the alphabet. So, the next letter would be O.
• The number in the middle increases by 1 in each set: 3, 4, 5, 6. So, the next number would be 7.
• The last letter of each set follows the sequence: P, W, E, N. We can see that the letters are moving 4 steps backward in the alphabet. So, the next letter would be V.

Therefore, the next set in the series is O7V.

Hence, the answer is (A) O7V.

124. If ROCKET is written as TQEMGV, then what would be the last letter when RAINBOW is written by the same code ?
(A) Z (B) Y (C) A (D) U

Answer:-(B) Y

Let’s analyze the given code:

• R + 2 = T
• O + 2 = Q
• C + 2 = E
• K + 2 = M
• E + 2 = G
• T + 2 = V

We can see that each letter is shifted two places forward in the alphabet.

Applying this code to RAINBOW:

• R + 2 = T
• A + 2 = C
• I + 2 = K
• N + 2 = P
• B + 2 = D
• O + 2 = Q
• W + 2 = Y

125. What would be the digit exactly in the middle when 65749 is subtracted from twice of itself ?
(A) 9 (B) 2 (C) 7 (D) 8

Answer:-(C) 7

127. If 9 < x² < 25, then the correct value/values of x is/are :
(A) 3, 4, 5 (B) 4, 5 (C) 3, 4 (D) 4

Answer:-(D) 4

Solution:-

135. If the code for WATER is 67 and for DRINK is 56, then the code for RIVER is :
(A) 48 (B) 98 (C) 72 (D) 35

Answer:-(C) 72

Solution:-

WATER = 67:

W (23) + A (1) + T (20) + E (5) + R (18) = 67

DRINK = 56:

D (4) + R (18) + I (9) + N (14) + K (11) = 56

Now let’s calculate the code for “RIVER”:

• R (18) + I (9) + V (22) + E (5) + R (18) = 18 + 9 + 22 + 5 + 18 = 72
