    For IMHO = JNIP
    I + 1 = J
    M + 1 = N
    H + 1 = I
    O + 1 = P
    For
    SO = TP
    S + 1 = T
    O + 1 = P
    Similarly, for IDC = JED
    I + 1 = J
    D + 1 = E
    C + 1 = D

  1. The product of three integers X, Y and Z is 192. Z is equal to 4 and P is equal to the average of X and Y. What is the minimum possible value of P?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Given product of three integers, X.Y.Z = 192
    Given: Z = 4

    ∴ X.Y =
    192
    = 48
    4

    ∵ P =
    X + Y
    2

    Now,
    Possible value of (X, Y) are (48, 1), (24, 2), (16, 3), (12, 4), (8, 6)
    So, (P)min<
    8 + 6
    = 7
    2

    So, min value of P is 7.

    Correct Option: C

  1. Fiscal deficit was 4% of the GDP in 2015 and that increased to 5% in 2016. If the GDP increased by 10% from 2015 to 2016, the percentage increase in the actual fiscal deficit is

    Let GDP in 2015 be x
    Now, in 2016, GDP will be 1.
    1x Fiscal deficit in 2015 = 0.04 × x
    Fiscal deficit in 2016 = 0.05 × 1.1 x
    Here percentage increase in the actual fiscal deficit

    =0.05 × 1.1x - 0.04 × x× 100 = 37.5%
    0.04x

    Correct Option: B

  1. Two pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 6 hours and 9 hours respectively, while a third pipe R can empty the tank in 12 hours. Initially, P and R are open for 4 hours. Then P is closed. The total time taken to fill the tank (in hours) is _____.

    Here,

    In 1 hr, part of tank filled by P alone is =
    1
    6

    In 1 hr, part of tank filled by Q alone is =
    1
    9

    In 1 hr, part of tank emptied by R is =
    1
    12

    Initially, P and R opened for 4 hr,
    So part of tank filled = 41-1= (4 / 12) = (1 / 3)
    612

    After 4 hr, P is closed and for 6 more hr Q and R are opened.
    So part of tank filled = 61-1= (1 / 6)
    912

    So, total tank filled in 10 hr =
    1
    +
    1
    =
    2 + 4
    =
    1

    63122

    So, remaining 1/2 part of the tank is filled by Q alone
    Now, Q will take 9/2 = 4.5 hr to fill remaining half of the tank.
    Hence, total time taken = 4 + 6 + 4.5 = 14.5 hr

    Correct Option: C

    Here,

    In 1 hr, part of tank filled by P alone is =
    1
    6

    In 1 hr, part of tank filled by Q alone is =
    1
    9

    In 1 hr, part of tank emptied by R is =
    1
    12

    Initially, P and R opened for 4 hr,
    So part of tank filled = 41-1= (4 / 12) = (1 / 3)
    612

    After 4 hr, P is closed and for 6 more hr Q and R are opened.
    So part of tank filled = 61-1= (1 / 6)
    912

    So, total tank filled in 10 hr =
    1
    +
    1
    =
    2 + 4
    =
    1

    63122

    So, remaining 1/2 part of the tank is filled by Q alone
    Now, Q will take 9/2 = 4.5 hr to fill remaining half of the tank.
    Hence, total time taken = 4 + 6 + 4.5 = 14.5 hr

    No. of person reading Books = 13 + 44 + 12
    n(A) + 7 = 76
    No. of person playing = 15 + 44 + 7 + 17
    n(B) = 83
    No. of person watch TV = 29 + 12 + 7 + 17
    n(C) = 65
    n(A ⋂ B) = 44 + 7 = 51
    n(A ⋃ B)= n(A) + n(B) – n(A ⋂ B)
    = 76 + 83 – 51 = 108

    Correct Option: D


    No. of person reading Books = 13 + 44 + 12
    n(A) + 7 = 76
    No. of person playing = 15 + 44 + 7 + 17
