Correct Answers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
C E B D A B B B E A
Explanations:
1. √ ÷ 43 × 176 = [?3 + (457.68 – 393.68)] ÷ 4
37 ?3 + 64
× 176 =
64 4
37 × 11 × 4 ÷ 4 = ?3 + 64
?3 = 407 – 64
?3 = 343
?=7
Hence, option C is correct.
2. (287.65 – 111.35 + 158.30) = ?1/3 × 1673
(445.95 – 111.35) = ?1/3 × 1673
(334.60) = ?1/3 × 1673
334.60
?1/3 =
1673
2
?1/3 =
10
?1/3 = 0.2
? = 0.008
Hence option E is correct.
3. 221 ÷ 23.6 × 94.4 ÷ 169 ÷ 17 = ? ÷ 91
221 94.4
× × 91 = ?
23.6 169 × 17
4
× 91 = ?
13
? = 28
Hence, option B is correct.
4. (3.4)2 – (1.2)2 = ?1/2 – 2.88
(3.4 + 1.2) (3.4 – 1.2) = ?1/2 – 2.88
4.6 × 2.2 = ?1/2 – 2.88
?1/2 = 10.12 + 2.88
?1/2 = 13
? = 169
Hence, option D is correct.
5. 72.9 × 6.561 × √ ÷ .81 = 93+? × √
729 × 6561 ÷ 81 = 93 + ? × 9
93 + ? = 93 × 81 ÷ 9
93 + ? = 93 + 2 – 1
3+?=4
?=1
Hence, option A is correct.
6. 146% of 950 – 46% of 1850 = 8 × ?
⇒ (100% of 950 + 50% 950 – 4% of 950) – (50% of 1850 – 4% of 1850) = 8 × ?
⇒ (950 + 475 – 38) – (925 – 74) = 8 × ?
⇒ 1387 – 851 = 8 × ?
⇒ 536 = 8 × ?
⇒ ? = 67
Hence, option B is correct.
7. Expression
= (0.2)3 × 200 ÷ 2000 of (0.2)2
Applying the BODMAS, we get
= (0.2)3 × 200 ÷ (2000 × 0.2 × 0.2)
0.2 × 0.2 × 0.2 × 200
=
2000 × 0.2 × 0.2
2 × 2 × 2 × 200
=
2000 × 2 × 2 × 10
2 2 1
= = =
100 100 50
Hence, option B is correct.
8. 153 + 172 – 123 + 1960 is equal to
or, 3375 + 289 – 1728 + 1960 = 3896
Hence, option B is correct answer.
9.
5 11 73
? = + ÷
12 32 48
5 11 48
= + ×
12 32 73
5 33
= +
12 146
365 + 198 563
= =
876 876
Hence, option E is correct.
10. 107.5 × 104.5 ÷ 102 = 10?
Or, 107.5 + 4.5 – 2 = 10?
Or, 1010 = 10?
∴ ? = 10
Hence, option A is correct.
