  Question: 1
  
  The smallest fraction which should be subtracted from the sum of \$\$1{3}/{4}\$\$, \$\$2{1}/{2}\$\$, \$\$5{7}/{12}\$\$, \$\$3{1}/{3}\$\$ and \$\$2{1}/{4}\$\$ to make the result a whole number is
  
  (A) \$\${185}/{12}\$\$
  
  (B) \$\${18}/{12}\$\$
  
  (C) \$\${1}/{2}\$\$
  
  (D) 7
  
  Ans: A
  
  Sum of given fractions = \$\${7}/{4} + {5}/{2} + {67}/{12} + {10}/{3} + {9}/{4}\$\$
  
  = \$\$({21 + 30 + 67 + 40 + 27} / {12})\$\$ = \$\${185}/{12}\$\$
  
  The whole number just less than \$\${185}/{12}\$\$ is 15.
  
  Let \$\${185}/{12}\$\$ - x = 15. Then, x = \$\$({185}/{12} - 15)\$\$ = \$\${5}/{12}\$\$.
  
  Question: 2
  
  1260 ÷ 15 ÷ 7 = ?
  
  (A) 10
  
  (B) 12
  
  (C) 58
  
  (D) 122
  
  Ans: B
  
  Given expression = 1260 ÷ 15 ÷ 7= 84 ÷ 7 = 12.
  
  Question: 3
  
  \$\$(999{999}/{1000} × 7)\$\$ is equal to
  
  (A) \$\$6633{7}/{1000}\$\$
  
  (B) \$\$6993{7}/{1000}\$\$
  
  (C) \$\$6999{993}/{1000}\$\$
  
  (D) \$\$7000{7}/{1000}\$\$
  
  Ans: C
  
  Given expression = \$\$({1000} – 1/{1000})\$\$ × 7 = \$\$(7000 - {7}/{1000})\$\$ = \$\$6999{993}/{1000}\$\$.
  
  Question: 4
  
  \$\${18 × 14 - 6 × 8}/{488 ÷ 4 - 20}\$\$ = ?
  
  (A) 1
  
  (B) 2
  
  (C) 3
  
  (D) 4
  
  Ans: B
  
  Given expression = \$\${252 - 48} / {122 - 20}\$\$ = \$\${204}/{102}\$\$ = 2.
  
  Question: 5
  
  The value of 1 + \$\${1}/{4 × 3} + {1}/{4 × 3^2} + {1}/{4 × 3^3}\$\$ is
  
  (A) \$\${3}/{2}\$\$
  
  (B) \$\${121}/{108}\$\$
  
  (C) \$\${31}/{2}\$\$
  
  (D) \$\${40}/{2}\$\$
  
  Ans: B
  
  Given expression = \$\${4 × 3^2 + 3^2+ 3 + 1} / {4 × 3^3}\$\$ =\$\${108 + 9 + 3 + 1} / {108}\$\$ = \$\${121}/{108}\$\$.
