Percentage · solved example

Find 20% of 350.

  • 70Correct
  • 60
  • 80
  • 75

Solution

20% of 350 = 350 × 20/100 = 350 × 0.2 = 70.

Number series · solved example

Find the next term: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

  • 42Correct
  • 40
  • 44
  • 38

Solution

Differences are +4, +6, +8, +10, so the next difference is +12. 30 + 12 = 42. The series adds consecutive even numbers to each term.

Simple interest · solved example

  • Rs 800Correct

Solution

SI = P × R × T / 100 = 4000 × 5 × 4 / 100 = 800 rupees.

Coding-decoding · solved example

If 'NURSE' is coded as 'OVSTF', how is 'HEALTH' coded using the same pattern?

  • IFBMUICorrect
  • IFBMTI
  • IEBMUI
  • HFAMUI

Solution

Each letter moves one place forward: H→I, E→F, A→B, L→M, T→U, H→I. So HEALTH becomes IFBMUI.
