2. Value of
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2-\frac{1}{2}}}}

\end{aligned}

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{19} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{19} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{19} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{19} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}}}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{2}{3}}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{\frac{8}{3}}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{3}{8}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\frac{19}{8}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{8}{19}
\end{aligned}

3. Simplify
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\frac{7}{2}\div {\frac{5}{2}} \times {\frac{3}{2}} }{\frac{7}{2} \div { \frac{5}{2}} of \frac{3}{2} } \div 5.25
\end{aligned}

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{6} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{7} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{8} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{\frac{7}{2}\div {\frac{5}{2}} \times {\frac{3}{2}} }{\frac{7}{2} \div { \frac{5}{2}} of \frac{3}{2} }\div 5.25
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{\frac{7}{2}\times {\frac{2}{5}} \times {\frac{3}{2}} }{\frac{7}{2} \div { \frac{15}{4}}}\div 5.25
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{\frac{21}{10}}
{\frac{7}{2} \times { \frac{4}{15}}}\div {\frac{525}{100}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{21}{10}\times{\frac{15}{14}}\times\frac{100}{525}

= \frac{6}{14}
= \frac{3}{7}
\end{aligned}

4. Company workers decided to raise Rs. 3 lakhs by equal contribution from each. Had they contributed Rs. 50 each extra, the contribution would have been Rs. 3.25 lakhs. How many workers were they?

  • 300
  • 400
  • 500
  • 600

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

N * 50 = (325000 - 300000) = 25000
N = 25000 / 50
= 500

5. If p - q = 3 and
\begin{aligned} p^2 + q^2 = 29 \end{aligned}, find the value of pq.

  • 7
  • 8
  • 9
  • 10

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We know
\begin{aligned} 2ab = (a^2 + b^2) - (a - b)^2 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} 2pq = 29 - 9 = 20 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} =>pq = 10 \end{aligned}
