Short answer questions

1. Simplify:

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

2. Simplify the fraction:

36

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:

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.

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.

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 .

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.
