A group of 1200 persons consisting of captains and soldiers is travelling in a train. For every 15 soldiers there is one captain. The number of captains in the group is ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let number of horses = number of men = x.

Then, number of legs = 4x + 2 x (x/2) = 5x.

So, 5X = 70 or x = 14.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Suppose boy got x sums right and 2x sums wrong,
then,
x+2x = 48
=> 3x = 48
=> x = 16

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Seven pieces consist of 6 smaller equal pieces and one half cake piece.

Weight of each small piece = 20 gm
So, total weight of the cake = 2 (20 * 6) = 240 gm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

"All but 10 died" means all except 10 died, so he is remained with 10 sheep.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

First of all, calculate LCM of 5, 6, 7 and 8 which is 840.
Suppose Number is K
then 840 * K + 3 is divisible by 9.
If K = 1, number = (840 × 1) + 3 = 843 which is not divisible by 9

If K = 2, number = (840 × 2) + 3 = 1683 which is divisible by 9

So 1683 is correct answer.
