A Correct answer
Explanation

Common difference d = (10 - 28) / (11 + 1) = -18 / 12 = -1.5. The 6th A.M. is a + 6d = 28 + 6(-1.5) = 28 - 9 = 19.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Given, $

\dfrac { (-60)\times (-72) }{ 36\times (-15) } $

As there are $ 2 $ negative numbers in the numerator and $ 1 $ in the

denominator, the answer will be negative.

Cancelling out the common factors and simplifying we get

$ \dfrac { (-60)\times (-72) }{ 36\times (-15) }=-4\times 2  = - 8 $

D Correct answer
Explanation

$(132)\div (-12)=\frac{132}{-12}$
                             $=\frac{12\times11}{-12}$
                             $=-1\times11$
                             $=-11$
Option D is correct.

(-12) $\times$ (-3) $\times$ (+4) $\times$ (-6) =

  1. -144

  2. -908

  3. +864

  4. -864

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

There are $3$ negative signs . So, the resultant of $3$ multiplications would be negative.


$\therefore (-12) \times (-3) \times(+4) \times (-6) = 36\times 4\times (-6)$
$\Rightarrow 144\times (-6)=-864$
