Question Detail

In a group of ducks and buffaloes, the total number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads. Find the total number of buffaloes.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number of buffaloes be x and the number of ducks be y
=> 4x + 2y = 2 (x + y) + 24

=> 2x = 24 => x = 12

1. If a - b = 3 and \begin{aligned} a^2 + b^2 = 29 \end{aligned}, then find the value of ab

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Remember the formula, if not then cram it :)
\begin{aligned} 2ab = (a^2 + b^2)- (a-b)^2 \end{aligned}
=> 2ab = 29 - 9 = 20
=> ab = 10

2. 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}{5} \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}

3. a * b = 2a - 3b + ab, then 35 + 53 = ?

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

= 2(3)-3(5)+(3*5) + 2(5)-3(3)+(5*3)
= 6-15+15+10-9+15 = 31-9 = 22

4. Simplify
\begin{aligned} 1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{28} = ? \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

By taking LCM we get
=\begin{aligned} \frac{28+14+7+4+2+1}{28}
= \frac{56}{28} = 2\end{aligned}

5. \begin{aligned}
(3\frac{1}{4}\div \{1\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2}(2\frac{1}{2} - \overline {\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6}} ) \} )
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Tip:
As you can see, there is bar over
\begin{aligned}
\overline{\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}}
\end{aligned}
So their sign will be changed from - to + as
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}
