D Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle\frac{2^{n+4}-2\times2^{n}}{2\times2^{(n+3)}}+2^{-3}$
$\frac { 2^{ n+4 }-2^{ n+1 } }{ 2^{ (n+4) } } +2^{ -3 }$
$\frac { 2^{ n }(2^{ 4 }-2^{ 1 }) }{ 2^{ n }\times { 2 }^{ 4 } } +2^{ -3 }$
$\frac { (2^{ 4 }-2^{ 1 }) }{ { 2 }^{ 4 } } +2^{ -3 }$
$\frac { (16-2) }{ 16 } +\frac { 1 }{ 8 } $
$\frac { 14 }{ 16 } +\frac { 1 }{ 8 } $
$\frac { 14+2 }{ 16 } =1$
Answer (D) 1

$\displaystyle  \frac {3}{4}t=\frac {6}{20}$
What operation should Tony perform to solve the equation for $t$ ?

  1. Multiply both sides by $\displaystyle \frac {1}{4}$
  2. Divide both sides by $\displaystyle \frac {3}{4}$
  3. Add $\displaystyle \frac {3}{4}$ to both sides
  4. Subtract $\displaystyle \frac {3}{4}$ from both sides

A cricketer whose bowling average is 12.4 runs per wicket takes 5 wickets for 26 runs and thereby decreases his average by 0.4. The number of wickets taken by him till the last match was........

  1. 64

  2. 72

  3. 80

  4. 85

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

average = 12.4 runs per wicket, 
Let's assume total  
number of wickets taken by him till the last match=x
 total  number of runs taken by him till the last match=y
$y/x=12.4$
$y=12.4x
$(y+26)/(x+5)=12$
$12.4x+26=12x+60$
$0.4x=34$
$x=85$
The number of wickets taken by him till the last match =85
Answer (D) 85

Find : $43245\times 0$

  1. $43245$
  2. $0$
  3. $432450$
  4. $4324$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know that any number multiplied by $0$ will always result in $0$. For example: The equation $0\times 2 = 0$ can be read as 'Zero times Two equals Zero'. That means, you are taking $'2'$ zero times, effectively taking nothing. So, multiplying any number by zero will always be zero.


Hence, $43245\times 0=0$.

Find : $5436\times 1$.

  1. $5436$
  2. $0$
  3. $1$
  4. $5437$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

We know that any number multiplied by $1$ will always result in that number itself. For example: The equation $2\times 1 = 2$ can be read as 'two times one equals one'. That means, you are taking $'2'$ one times, effectively taking nothing but multiplying by its unity. So, multiplying any number by one will always be the number itself.


Hence, $5436\times 1=5436$.
