Alternate Logic: The difference between first letters of the 2 given ratios is -4, +4, -4, +4.
Q (17) – M (13) = +4
I (9) – M (13) = -4
O (15) – K (11) = +4
K (11) – O (15) = -4

Following the same pattern, the correct answer is UESG.

Solution:
Speed in still water = 4.5 km / hr
Speed of river = 1.5 km / hr w
While going upstream river will flow against the man
Hence, Upstream speed = 3 per hour
While going downstream river will flow with the man
Hence, Downstream speed = 6 per hour

Solution

9! = 27  34  51  71
co-prime numbers are called coprime if only positive integer that evenly divides both of them is 1

So, Factors can be selected in 24 = 16 ways; hence, 8 pairs are possible.

Alternate Solution:

If N = ap  bq  .........., where a, b, - - - - are prime numbers, then N can be written as a product of two co primes in 2n-1
ways, where n is the number of prime factors to N. Here, n=4 (Since the prime factors are 2, 3, 5, 7)
Hence the number of ways 9! Can be expressed as a product of two prime factors =24-1=8

Solution:
Let the one digit numbers be x, y, z
Sum of all possible two digit number
= (10x + y ) + (10x + z ) + (10y + x ) + (10y + z ) + (10z + x ) + (10z + y ) = 22 ( x + y + z )
Therefore sum of all possible two digit numbers when divided by sum of one digit numbers gives 22.

50. Ans: (b)

Solution:
Let the three angles (in A.P) be x, x + a, x + 2a

( ) ( )
Given that x + 2a − x + a = x , i.e. 2a − a = x  a = x

Hence the angles are in the form x, 2x, 3x. Let the 4th angle be P
Three cases exist when P is equal to one of x, 2x and 3x respectively.
Case1: P=x
x + 2x + 3x + x = 360  7x = 360
x = 51.4
( ) (
Angles are 51.4,51.4; 51.4  2; 51.4  3 )
Since no angle is 90; we reject this possibility
Case 2: P=3x
x + 2x + 3x + 3x = 360 = 9x

x = 40
Angles are 40;80;120;120 (Rejected)
Case 3: P=2x
x + 2x + 3x + 2x = 8x = 360

x = 450
Angles are 450 ,900 ,1350 ,900.

Thus the smallest angle= 450 .
