Consider the following quotients :
1) 368.39 divided by 17
2) 170.50 divided by 62
3) 875.65 divided by 83
Their correct sequence in decreasing order is :

A. 1, 3, 2

B. 2, 1, 3

C. 2, 3, 1

D. 3, 1, 2

Answer : A. 1, 3, 2

Explanation :

  • 36839/17 = 2167, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
    So, 368.39 / 17 = 21.67
  • 17050/62 = 275, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
    So, 70.50/62 = 2.75
  • 87565/83 = 1055, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
    So, 875.65/83 = 10.55

Since 21.67 > 10.55 > 2.75. The desired order is 1, 3, 2.

54.(?)3 + 543 + 5.43 = 603.26 ?

A. 5

B. 6

C. 8

D. None of these

Answer : C. 8

Explanation:

Let, x + 543 + 5.43 = 603.26
x = 603.25 – (543 + 5.43)
= 603.26 – 548.43
= 54.83
So missing digit is 8.

A tailor has 37.5 metres of cloth and he has to make 8 pieces out of a metre of cloth. How many pieces can he make out of this cloth ?

A. 320

B. 360

C. 400

D. None of these

Answer : D. None of these

Explanation:

The tailor has to make 8 piece from 1 metre.
Length of each piece = (1/8) m
= 0.125 m
Required no of pieces = (37.5/0.125)
= (375 * 100) / 125
= 300.

Convert 0.0155 into fractions ?

A. 21/2900

B. 17/2700

C. 23/3500

D. 31/2000

Answer : D. 31/2000

Explanation :

Given :
The decimal number = 0.0155
Write it as a fraction = 0.0155 / 1
Multiply 10000 to both numerator & denominator
(0.0155 x 10000)/(1 x 10000) = 155/10000

It can be written as 1.55% = 1.55/100 or 155/10000
To simplify 155/10000 to its lowest terms, find LCM (Least Common Multiple) for 155 & 10000.
5 is the LCM for 155 & 10000

Divide numerator & denominator by 5
155/10000 = (155 / 5) / (10000 / 5)
= 31/2000
31/2000 is a simplest fraction for the decimal point number 0.0155
