To find the average, we need to first convert each fraction to a decimal: 5/6 = 0.83 4/3 = 1.33 3/4 = 0.75 Then, add the decimals and divide by the number of values: 0.83 + 1.33 + 0.75 = 2.91 2.91 ÷ 3 = 0.97 Now, convert the average back to a fraction: 0.97 ≈ 35/36

The average of the first n natural numbers is given by (n + 1) / 2. For n = 97: Average = (97 + 1) / 2 = 98 / 2 = 49

5 × 2 = 10 10 × 2 = 20 20 × 2 = 40 40 × 2 = 80

The letters are decreasing alphabetically: F → E → D → C → B. The numbers are doubling: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32. So the missing term is E4 .

Assume cost price = 100 Marked price = 25% above CP: 100 + 25 = 125 Discount = 10% on 125: 10% of 125 = 12.5 Selling price: 125 − 12.5 = 112.5 Profit 112.5 - 100 = 12.5% 112.5 − 100 = 12.5% Last updated question NS on 10 MAY 2026

Let original price = x Step 1: Apply 25% discount Discounted price = x − 25% of x = 0.75 x Step 2: Apply tax (55% on discounted price) Final price = 0.75 x × 1.55 = 1.1625 x Given final price = 1260 1.1625 x = 1260 x = 1260 ​/ 1.1625 = 1083.87 ≈ 1084 Last updated question NS on 10 MAY 2026

Let original number = 100 Step 1: Increase by 12% 100 + 12 = 112 Step 2: Decrease 112 by 12% 12% of 112 = 13.44 112 − 13.44 = 98.56 Step 3: Compare with original Original = 100 Final = 98.56 Decrease = 100 − 98.56 = 1.44 Percentage change: 1.44% Last updated question NS on 10 MAY 2026

Step 1: Translate the statement into an equation “One-fourth of one-third of two-fifths of a number is 15” 1 ​/4 × 1/3 ​ × 2 ​/5 × x = 15 Step 2: Multiply fractions 1 × 1 × 2/ 4 × 3 × 5 ​ =2/ 60 ​ = 1/ 30 ​ So, 1/30 ​ x = 15 Step 3: Solve for x x = 15 × 30 = 450 So, the number is x = 450 x = 450 Step 4: Find 40% of the number 40% of 450 = 40/100 ​ × 450 = 0.4 × 450 = 180 Last updated question by NA on 07 May 2026

This is a distance problem using the Pythagorean theorem . A person moves: 80 km North 60 km West These form a right triangle. Distance from starting point: d= √(80^2 + 60^2) =√(6400 + 3600) = √(10000) = 100 km Last updated question by NS on 2 MAY 2026

Assume originally: Bought 100 items for Rs.100 So, Cost Price (CP) per item = Rs.1 Now buys 10% less : 10% less than 100 = 90 items Still spends Rs.100 So new CP per item: CP = 100/90 ​ Now sells 10% more : 10% more than 100 = 110 items Assume selling rate is Rs.1 per item. So total Selling Price: SP = 110 × 1 = 110 Profit: P ro f i t = SP − CP = 110 − 100 = 10 Profit percentage formula: Profit % = Profit/ Cost Price ​ × 100 Substitute values: 10/100 ​ × 100 = 10% That approach looks tempting, but it ignores that buying fewer changes the cost per item. The correct combined effect is: Profit % = ( 110/90 ​ − 1 ) × 100 ( 110/90 ​ − 1 ) × 100 =left(frac{20}{90}right)times100 = ( 20/90 ​ ) × 100 =22.22% = 22.22% Last updated question by NS on 2 MAY 2026

To find a single equivalent discount , we apply successive discounts step by step. Assume original price = 100 Step 1: 10% discount 100 → 90 Step 2: 20% discount on 90 90 → 72 Step 3: 40% discount on 72 72 → 43.2 Final price = 43.2 Total discount: 100 − 43.2 = 56.8 **** Last updated by NS on 01 MAY 2026

In this series, each number is formed by adding the square of a natural number (1^2, 2^2, 3^2, .....) to the preceding number. 15 + 1² = 16 16 + 2² = 20 20 + 3² = 29 ← should be 29, but given 30 29 + 4² = 45 45 + 5² = 70 So the correct sequence should be: 15, 16, 20, 29, 45, 70 Therefore, 30 is the incorrect number **** Last updated by NS on 01 MAY 2026
