q: What will come in place of the x in the following Number series? 11, 14, 19, 22, 27, 30, 35, x
Options:
(A) 29
(B) 31
(C) 23
(D) 35
(E) 38
a: Stream of consciousness: The pattern is + 3, + 5, + 3, + 5, …………

question: In a school of 850 boys, 34% of Muslims, 28% Hindus, 10% Sikhs and the remaining of other communities. How many belonged to the other communities?
Options:
(A) A) 125
(B) B) 627
(C) C) 153
(D) D) 238
(E) E) 159
answer: Stream of consciousness: 34 + 28 + 10 = 72%
100 – 72 = 28%

Options:
(A) 3.
(B) 7.
(C) 10.
(D) 12.
(E) 15.
a: Stream of consciousness: Time taken by the birds to meet = 15/(2 + 1) = 5 mins

q: A car traveled from San Diego to San Francisco at an average speed of 66 miles per hour. If the journey back took twice as long, what was the average speed of the trip?
Options:
(A) 24.
(B) 32.
(C) 36.
(D) 42.
(E) 44.
a: Stream of consciousness: Let the time taken be = x
One way distance = 66x
Total distance traveled = 2 * 66x = 132x
Total time taken = x + 2x = 3x
Average speed = 132x/3x = 44 The answer is (E).


q: In a class, 3/5 of the students are girls and rest are boys. If 2/9 of the girls and 1/4 of the boys are absent, what part of the total number of students is present ?

(B) 18/49
(C) 23/30
(D) 23/36
(E) 29/36
a:
Stream of consciousness: Girls = 3/5, boys are 2/5
Absentees are (2/9)*(3/5) + (1/4)*(2/5) = 7/30
Present Students are 23/30 The answer is (C).
