Short answer questions


1. Simplify:
8+6÷3×2−4

Answer:
Using BODMAS:
8+6÷3×2−4=8+2×2−4=8+4−4=8

2. Simplify the fraction:


36
48
Answer:

Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their GCD (12):


36 36 ÷ 12 3
= =
48 48 ÷ 12 4
3. Is 372 divisible by 6? Explain why.
Answer:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

(1) Divisibility by 2: The last digit is 2, which is even.


(2) Divisibility by 3: Sum of digits 3 + 7 + 2 = 12, and 12 is divisible by 3.
Therefore, 372 is divisible by 6.

4. Find the LCM of 12 and 18.


Answer:
Prime factorizations:
12 = 22 × 3, 18 = 2 × 32
LCM is the product of the highest powers of all primes:
LCM = 22 × 32 = 4 × 9 = 36

5. Find the GCD of 24 and 36.


Answer:
Prime factorizations:
24 = 23 × 3, 36 = 22 × 32
GCD is the product of the lowest powers of common primes:
GCD = 22 × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12

6. Identify the next number in the series:

2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Answer:

The difference between consecutive terms is 4, 6, 8, 10, . . . (increasing by 2).

Next difference = 12. Add to the last term: 30 + 12 = 42.


Next number is 42.
7. In a certain code, APPLE is written as ELPPA. How would ORANGE be written in the
same code?
Answer:
The letters are written in reverse order.
ORANGE → EGNARO.

8. Pointing to a photograph, Asha says, ”He is the son of my father’s only daughter.”
How is the boy in the photograph related to Asha?
Answer:
Asha’s father’s only daughter is Asha herself.
The boy is Asha’s son.

9. At what time between 2:00 and 3:00 will the hour hand and minute hand of a clock
form a straight line?
Answer: The minute hand sweeps 6 degrees per minute, and the hour hand sweeps
0.5 degrees per minute, so the minute hand “gains” 5.5 degrees per minute on the
hour hand.
At 2:00, the minute hand is 60 degrees behind, and it needs to get 180 degrees
ahead, for a net change of 240 degrees. 240
5.5 = 43.636363 minutes. That is 2 hour 43
minutes

10. If January 1, 2024, is a Monday, what day of the week will July 4, 2024, be?
Answer:

2024 is a leap year, so January has 31 days, February has 29 days.

Days from January 1 to July 4: 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 4 = 156 days.


Dividing 156 by 7 gives a remainder of 2.
July 4, 2024, is 2 days after Monday, which is Wednesday.

11. The marks obtained by five students in a test are 45, 50, 55, 60, and 65. Find their

8 8
The two parts are 135 and 225.

13. The present age of A is twice that of B. Five years ago, A was three times as old as
B. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Let the present age of B be x. Then, A’s present age is 2x.
Five years ago: 2x − 5 = 3(x − 5)
2x − 5 = 3x − 15 ⇒ x = 10
B’s present age is 10, and A’s present age is 20.

17. A shopkeeper buys an article for Rs. 400 and sells it for Rs. 480. Find the profit
percentage.
Answer:
Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price = 480 − 400 = Rs. 80

Profit Percentage = × 100 = × 100 = 20%
Cost Price 400
The profit percentage is 20%.

18. A and B start a business with investments of Rs. 40, 000 and Rs. 60, 000, respectively.
If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 50, 000, find A’s share of the profit.
Answer:
Ratio of investments = 40, 000 : 60, 000 = 2 : 3

Long answer questions


Arithmetic Ability and Verbal Reasoning Questions
1. BODMAS Rule:
Simplify the following expression using BODMAS:

3 + 6 × (5 + 4) ÷ 3 − 7.

Answer:
First, solve inside the parentheses:

5 + 4 = 9.

Now the expression becomes:

3 + 6 × 9 ÷ 3 − 7.

Next, perform multiplication and division from left to right:

6 × 9 = 54, 54 ÷ 3 = 18.

Now the expression is:


3 + 18 − 7.

Finally, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:

3 + 18 = 21, 21 − 7 = 14.

Thus, the simplified expression is 14 .

2. Fraction Operations:
Simplify the following expression:
3 5 1
+ − .
4 8 2

Answer:
To add and subtract fractions, we first find a common denominator. The least
common denominator (LCD) of 4, 8, and 2 is 8.
Rewriting each fraction with denominator 8:
3 6 5 5 1 4
= , = , = .
4 8 8 8 2 8

Now perform the addition and subtraction:


6 5 4 6+5−4 7
+ − = = .
8 8 8 8 8

7
Thus, the simplified result is .
8
3. LCM and GCD (HCF):
Find the least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36
and 60.
Answer:
First, find the prime factorization of 36 and 60:

36 = 22 × 32 , 60 = 22 × 3 × 5.

The GCD is found by taking the lowest power of each common prime factor:

GCD(36, 60) = 22 × 3 = 12.

The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor:

LCM(36, 60) = 22 × 32 × 5 = 180.

Thus, the GCD is 12 and the LCM is 180 .

4. Number Series:
Find the next number in the series:

2, 6, 12, 20, 30, . . .

Answer:
Observe the pattern:

2 = 1 × 2, 6 = 2 × 3, 12 = 3 × 4, 20 = 4 × 5, 30 = 5 × 6.

Thus, the next number will be:


6 × 7 = 42.

So, the next number in the series is 42 .

5. Coding and Decoding:


In a certain code, the word “COMPUTER” is written as “DPNQVUFS”. How would
you write the word “PROGRAM” in the same code?
Answer:
To decode the word, observe that each letter in the word is shifted by 1 place
forward in the alphabet:

C → D, O → P, M → N, P → Q, U → V, T → U, E → F, R → S.

Applying the same pattern to the word “PROGRAM”:

P → Q, R → S, O → P, G → H, R → S, A → B, M → N.

Thus, the coded word for “PROGRAM” is QSP HSBN .

6. Blood Relation:
If A is the brother of B, B is the sister of C, and C is the mother of D, how is A
related to D?
Answer:
From the problem: - A is the brother of B. - B is the sister of C. - C is the mother of
D.
Since C is the mother of D and B is C’s sister, B is D’s aunt. And since A is B’s
brother, A is also D’s uncle.
Thus, A is related to D as Uncle .

7. Averages: The average age of a group of 5 students is 22 years. If the age of one
student is 20 years, find the average age of the remaining 4 students.
Answer:
Let the total age of the 5 students be S.

S
= 22 =⇒ S = 22 × 5 = 110.
5
Now, the total age of the remaining 4 students is:

S 0 = 110 − 20 = 90.

Thus, the average age of the remaining 4 students is:

S0 90
= = 22.5.
4 4

So, the average age of the remaining 4 students is 22.5 years.

8. Ratio and Proportion: In a school, the ratio of the number of boys to the number
of girls is 3:4. If there are 360 boys, find the number of girls in the school.
Answer:
Let the number of girls be G.
Given, the ratio of boys to girls is 43 , and the number of boys is 360. Therefore, we
have:

360 3
= .
G 4
Cross-multiply to find G:

1440
360 × 4 = 3 × G =⇒ 1440 = 3G =⇒ G = = 480.
3

Thus, the number of girls in the school is 480 .

9. Problems on Ages: The present age of A is three times that of B. 5 years ago, A
was four times as old as B. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Let the present age of B be x. Then, the present age of A is 3x.
5 years ago, A’s age was 3x − 5, and B’s age was x − 5. According to the problem, 5
years ago, A was four times as old as B:

3x − 5 = 4(x − 5).

Solve the equation:

3x − 5 = 4x − 20 =⇒ 3x − 4x = −20 + 5 =⇒ −x = −15 =⇒ x = 15.

So, B’s present age is 15 years, and A’s present age is:

3x = 3 × 15 = 45 years.

Thus, the present ages of A and B are 45 years and 15 years, respectively.
10. Time, Distance, and Speed: A train travels 150 kilometers in 2.5 hours. What is
its average speed?
Answer:
The formula for average speed is:

Distance
Speed = .
Time
Here, the distance is 150 km and the time is 2.5 hours. Therefore, the average
speed is:

150
Speed = = 60 km/h.
2.5

Thus, the average speed of the train is 60 km/h.

11. Profit and Loss: A shopkeeper sells an article at a loss of 20


Answer:
The selling price when there is a loss of 20
 
Loss Percentage
Selling Price = Cost Price − Loss = Cost Price × 1 − .
100

Substitute the given values:


 
20
Selling Price = 500 × 1 − = 500 × 0.80 = 400.
100

Thus, the selling price of the article is 400 dollars.

12. Simple Interest: Find the simple interest on a principal amount of $2000 at an
interest rate of 5
Answer:
The formula for simple interest is:

P ×R×T
Simple Interest = ,
100
where P is the principal, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time in years.
Substitute the given values:

2000 × 5 × 3 30000
Simple Interest = = = 300.
100 100

Thus, the simple interest is 300 dollars.
