A B C D E are playing a game of cards, A says
to B if you give me three cards, you will have
as many as E has and if I give you three cards,
you will have as many as D has. A & B together
have 10 cards more thatn what D & E together
have. If B has two cards more than what C has
and the total number of cards is 133, how
many cards does B have?
• Convert all these into B:1).B-3 =E,
(2)B+3=D(3)A+B-10=D+E(4)B-2=C
• 5)A+B+C+D+E=133; A=D+E-B+10
(from3); 5 modified: B+3+B-3-
B+10+B+B-2+B+3+B-3=133.: 7B+8=133;
7B=125; B=125/7 = 18 approx.

 There are some cows, bulls and 45 hens in a
group. One caretaker looks after 15 animals.
The number of bulls is twice the number of
cows. If the number of heads is less than the
total number of feet by 186 (including
caretakers) how many caretakers are there?
Options: 6,8,9

• Let the no of cows = x;, let is take no of

feet: 4(x+2x)+2(45+(x+2x+45)/15)
• No. of Heads =(x+2x+45)+ (x+2x+45)/15)
to equate them - add 186 in second.
• Let the caretakers by 6, so x+2x=45;x=15;
so 180+102=186+90+6
• 282=282 – so option 6 is right.

 If 2^32 +1 is exactly divisible by
641, which of the following is
divisible by 641? (a) 2^96 +1 (b)
2^16 +1?

• Observe the pattern in the power of

2. You will notice a pattern, for
example, 2^2 +1, 2^6 +1 , 2^18+1 are all divisible
by 5 –2^3 +1, 2^9 +1 , 2^27+1 are all divisible by 3
similar pattern exists here – so the number
divisible is 2^96 +1 ans.

 When 40% of a number is
added to 42, the result is
the number itself. What is
the number?

..40X+42=X;.40X-X=-42;, (x-.40x =
.60x); , .6X=42;, X=42/.6(multiply
both by 10)
X=420/6= 70Ans.

The population of a village
is 5000 and it increases @
2% every year. Afer 2

The numerator of a fraction is doubled
and the denominator is increased by 3,
the new fraction is 3/5. what is the
original fraction is the denominator is
more than twice the numerator by 1?

• Let us assume numerator to be x

• Denominator is 2x+1
• Double x
• 2x/3+(2x+1) = 3/5 ; 2x/2x+4 =3/5;
• 10x =6x+12; 4x=12; x = 3; so fraction
= 3/7 ans.

 Rs. 1360 is divided among
ABC A gets 2/3 of B, B gets
¼ of C, what is share of B?

• Lets take LCM of 3 &4; 12. let us

assume C got 12. B got 3, A got 2.
ratio is 2:3:12. share of B : 3/17
(1360) = 240 Ans.
