$83.33\% $ of coins out of $36$ coins are $20$ paise coins and rest are $10$ paise coins which amounts to $6.60$. Find the number of $10$ paise coins.

  1. $8$

  2. $5$

  3. $6$

  4. $2$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given : $83.33$% of $36$ coins are $20$ paisa coins

$83.33$% of $36 =\left( \cfrac { 83.33 }{ 100 }  \right) \times 36=30$

So, $30$ coins are $20$ paise coins and remaining $(36-30)= 6$ coins are $10$ paise coins.

Value $=30\times 20+6\times 10=660$ Paise $=Rs. 6.60$, which is the given amount.

$\therefore $ Number of $10$ paise coins are $6$.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The average age of eleven cricket players is 20 years. If the age of the coach is also included, the average age increases by 10%. The age of the coach is

  1. 48 year

  2. 44 year

  3. 40 year

  4. 36 year


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Average of 11 players $= 20$ years.
Sum of age of 11 players $= 20 \times 11 = 220$
Average age of players and coach $1.1 \times 20 22$ years
Sum of ages of players & coach $= 22 \times 12 = 264$ years.
Age of coach $= 264 - 220 = 44$ years. 

When each term of a sequence is connected using $a +$ or $a -$ sign, then it is referred to as the _____ of numbers.

  1. Series

  2. Progression

  3. Arithmetic Progression

  4. Geometric Prpgression


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When each term of a sequence is connected using a $+$ or a $-$ sign, then it is referred to as the series of numbers. For example, $2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 15 + 18 + ....$ is a series of numbers. Thus the correct answer is '$a$'.

In following symbol series, some of the symbols are missing which are given in that order as one of the alternatives below it. Choose the correct alternative.

$\text{x+ _ xx _+++ _ xxx _ +++x}$

  1. $\text{x++x}$

  2. $\text{+xx+}$

  3. $\text{xxx+}$

  4. $\text{x+x+}$

  5. $\text{x+xx}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The series is $\text{x++/xxx+++/ xxxx++++/x}$. Thus, the letters are repeated twice, thrice and so on.

Hence, the missing symbols are +xx+

Adding all the terms in a sequence is called

  1. sequence

  2. series

  3. term

  4. constant


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Adding all the terms in a sequence is called series.

$1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +.....$ is a

  1. sequence

  2. term

  3. constant

  4. series


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +.....$ is a series.
As sum of all numbers in some set is called as a series.

A sum of an infinite sequence it is called a

  1. term

  2. constant

  3. series

  4. sequence


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A sum of an infinite sequence it is called a series.
Example: $2 + 4 + 6 + 8 +....$ is a series.

Which one of the following is a series?

  1. $1 \times  2 \times  3 \times  4 \times  5$

  2. $(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)$

  3. $\left {1, 2, 3, 5, 6\right }$

  4. $\sum _{n=1}^{10}nk^2$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\sum _{n=1}^{10}nk^2$ is a series.
Since $\sum _{n=1}^{10}nk^2= k^2+2k^2+3k^2+4k^2+5k^2+6k^2+7k^2+8k^2+9k^2+10k^2$
So, sum of all the terms in a sequence is called series.

Identify the series.

  1. {$1, 2, 3, 4, 5$}

  2. $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5$

  3. $1 \times  2 \times  3 \times  4$

  4. $2 - 4 \times  3 + 1 - 23$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5$ is a series.

Rest all are not series.
Series means sum of all numbers in a set.

The sum of first $5$ odd numbers is called

  1. term

  2. constant

  3. series

  4. sequence


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The sum of first $5$ odd numbers is called series.
Example: $1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 $ is a series.
