Question :11

There are some parrots and some tigers in a forest. If the total number of animal heads in the forest are 858 and total number of animal legs are 1746, what is the number of parrots in the forest ?

Answer: (e)

P + T = 858 .... (i)

(Because both have one head)

2P + 4T = 1746 .... (ii)

(Because parrot has two legs and tiger has four legs)

Multiply by 2 in Eq. (i) and subtract

2P + 2T = 1716
2P+ 4T = 1746
---
- 2T = - 30

∴ T = 15; P = 843.

Question :12

A difference between two numbers is 1365, when larger number is divided by the smaller one, the quotient is 6 and the remainder is 15. What is the smaller number?

Answer: (a)

${1365 - 15}/5 = 270$

Question :13

A is the set of the first 100 natural numbers. What is the minimum number of elements that should be picked from A to ensure that atleast one pair of numbers whose difference is 10 is picked?

Answer: (c)

Let's divide the first 100 natural numbers in five sets of 20 numbers each:

{1, 2, 3….20}, {21, 22, 23….40}, ......{81, 82, 83……100}.

If we pick the first ten numbers from each set we will not get any pair of two numbers whose difference is 10.

However, if we pick just one more number from any of the sets, it would have a difference of 10 with one of the numbers which has already been picked.

So the answer is 10 × 5 + 1 = 51.

Question :14

Consider the following numbers:
I. 247 II. 203
Which of the above numbers is/are prime ?

Answer: (d)

Here 247 is divisible by 13 and 203 is also divisible by 7.

So, 247 and 203 are not prime number.

Question :15

Two times a two-digit number is 9 times the number obtained by reversing the digits and sum of the digits is 9. The number is

Answer: (d)

Let the unit and ten places of two digit number be x and y respectively.

Then number will be 10y + x

According to question

2 (10y + x) = 9 (10x + y) ...(i)

and x + y = 9 ...(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii),we get

x = 1 and y = 8

Hence number = 81
