the row?
33
(12) Fill the series:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
27 38 ?
51
Exp:
(7*4) – 1 = 27; (8*5) – 2 = 32; and so (6*9) – 3 = 51
(13) The sum of four consecutive even
numbers A, B, C and D is 180. What is the sum of the set of next four
consecutive even numbers?
212
Exp:
Let the numbers be: A = a; B = a+2; C = a+4; D=a+6
So A+B+C+D = a+a+2+a+4+a+6= 180
4a+12 = 180
4a = 168
So, a = 42
The next four “Consecutive even” numbers must be:
a+8, a+10, a+12 and a+14
Adding all these,
4a+44 = (4 * 42) + 44 = 212
(14) The average of 8 numbers is A and the
average of four of these is B. If the average of remaining four is C. then B+C
is
2A
Exp:
Let the 8 numbers be a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7 and
a8
Average of a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7 and a8 is A
So, a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 + a6 + a7 + a8 = 8A à (1)
Average of four (a1, a2, a3 and a4) of these is B
So, a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 = 4B à (2)
Average of remaining four (a5, a6, a7 and a8) is C
So, a5 + a6 + a7 + a8 = 4C à (3)
Put the values of (2) and (3) in (1)
4B + 4C = 8A
4(B+C) = 8A
So, (B+C) = 2A
(15) A number when divided by 2, 3 or 5

31
Exp:
LCM of (2, 3 and 5) + 1 = 30 +1 = 31
