Correct Answers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
B B B C D C B D B A
Explanations:
1. ?2 = 5376 ÷ 24 × 13 – 703
?2 = 224 × 13 – 703
?2 = 2912 – 703 = 2209
? = √2209 = 47
Hence, option B is correct.
2.
5 2
4 × 4 + ? = 35% of 158
7 3
33 14 35
× +?= × 158
7 3 100
22 + ? = 55.3
? = 55.3 – 22 = 33.3
Hence, option B is correct.
3. 12473 – 1016 – 10137 + 21477 = ? + 8573
or, ? = 12473 – 1016 – 10137 + 21477 – 8573
or, ? = 14224
Hence, option B is correct.
4. ? = (0.4)3 × 400 ÷ 4000 of (0.4)2
Applying the BODMAS, we get
= (0.4)3 × 400 ÷ (4000 × 0.4 × 0.4)
0.4 × 0.4 × 0.4 × 400
=
4000 × 0.4 × 0.4
4 × 4 × 4 × 400
=
4000 × 4 × 4 × 10
4 2 1
= = =
100 50 25
Hence, option C is correct.
5. 185% of 500 – 46% of 1650 = 4 × ?
⇒ 185% of 500 – 46% of 1650 = 4 × ?
⇒ (925 – 759) = 4 × ?
⇒ 166 = 4 × ?
⇒ ? = 41.5
Hence, option D is correct.
6.
165 85 ?
400 × + × 240 = × 1080
100 100 100
or, 4 × 165 + 85 × 2.4 = 10.8 × ?
or, 660 + 204 = 10.8 × ?
864 × 10
∴?= = 80
108
Hence, option C is correct.
7. 24473 – 12016 – 11037 + 22477 = ? + 9473
? = 24473 – 12016 – 11037 + 22477 – 9473
? = 46950 – 32526
? = 14424
Hence, option B is correct.
8. 123 × 8697 ÷ 223 = ?2 + 36
8697
?2 = 123 × – 36
223
?2 = 4797 – 36 = 3481
∴?=√ =√ = 69
Hence, option D is correct.
9. 13 × ? × 6 = 472 – √625
or, 78 × ? = 2209 – 25
or, ? = 2184 ÷ 78
or, ? = 28
Hence, option B is correct.
10. √ =?
? = 98 – 91 + 13
? = 20
Hence, option A is correct.
