Answer: Option B

Explanation:

No. of digits in 1-digit page nos. = 1x9 = 9.

No. of digits in 2-digit page nos. = 2 x 90 = 180.

No. of digits in 3-digit page nos. = 3 x 900 = 2700.

No. of digits in 4-digit page nos. = 3189 - (9 + 180 + 2700) = 3189 - 2889 = 300.

Therefore No. of pages with 4-digit page nos. = (300/4) = 75.

Hence, total number of pages = (999 + 75) = 1074.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, number of ways of arranging 5 books = 5 ! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

So, total time taken = 120 minutes = 2 hours.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, we have to first find two numbers whose difference is 2 and of which the smaller one is a perfect square and the bigger one a perfect cube.

Such numbers are 25 and 27.

Thus, Nitin is now 26 years old. Since the next perfect cube after 27 is 64,

so required time period = (64 - 26) years = 38 years.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let number of keepers be x. Then,

Total number of feet = 2 x 50 + 4 x 45 + 4 x 8 + 2x = 2x + 312.

Total number of heads = 50 + 45 + 8 + x= 103 + x.

Therefore (2x + 312) = (103 + x) + 224 or x = 15.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Net ascent of the monkey in 1 hour = (30 - 20) feet = 10 feet.

So, the monkey ascends 90 feet in 9 hours i.e. till 5 p.m.

Clearly, in the next 1 hour i.e. till 6 p.m. the monkey ascends remaining 30 feet to touch the flag.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = (11 - x).

So, number = 10x + (11 - x) = 9x + 11.

Therefore (9x + 11) + 27 = 10 (11 - x) + x 9x + 38 = 110 - 9x 18x = 72 x = 4.

Thus, ten's digit = 4 and unit's digit = 7.

Hence, required number = 47.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, 3 or 4 and no remainder when divided by 5. Such a number is 25.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Numbers from 1 to 60, which are divisible by 6 are : 6,12,18, 24, 30, 36,42, 48, 54, 60.

There are 10 such numbers.

Numbers from 1 to 60, the sum of whose digits is 6 are : 6, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, 60.

There are 7 such numbers of which 4 are common to the above ones. So, there are 3such uncommon numbers.

Numbers from 1 to 60, which have 6 as one of the digits are 6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60.

Clearly, there are 4 such uncommon numbers.

So, numbers 'not connected with 6' = 60 - (10 + 3 + 4) = 43.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the number of 20-paise coins be x. Then, number of 25-paise coins = (324 - x).

Therefore 0.20 x x + 0.25 (324 - x) = 71 20x + 25 (324 - x) = 7100

5x= 1000 x = 200. Hence, number of 25-paise coins = (324 - x) - 124.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y.

Then, x - y = y or x = 2y,

Now, x = 36. So, 2y = 36 or y = 18.

Therefore Son's present age = 18 years.

So, son's age 5 years ago = 13 years.
