Question 1

$\displaystyle \frac{2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{7}\,of\,\frac{7}{10}}{3\frac{1}{2}\div \frac{7}{6}\left( \frac{9}{14}+11\frac{1}{7} \right)}-\left[ \left( 2\frac{3}{4}\,of\,2\frac{2}{11} \right)\div 135 \right]$
is equal to

A	1
B	1/135
C	135
D	$15\frac{1}{2}$

Question 1 Explanation:

Question 2

The value of

$\frac{0.5\times 0.5\times 0.5+0.7\times 0.7\times 0.7+0.9\times 0.9\times 0.9-3\times 0.5\times 0.7\times 0.9}{0.5\times 0.5+0.7\times 0.7+0.9\times 0.9-0.5\times 0.7-0.7\times 0.9-0.9\times 0.5}$ is

A	0.21
B	0.02
C	1
D	2.1

Question 2 Explanation:

$\begin{align} & Let\,\,\,0.5\,\,=a,\,\,0.7=b\,\,and\,\,0.9=c \\ & Then,\,\,we\,\,have, \\ & \frac{a\times a\times a+b\times b\times b+c\times c\times c-3abc}{a\times a+b\times b+c\times c-ab-bc-ac} \\ & =\frac{{{a}^{3}}+b{}^{3}+{{c}^{3}}-3abc}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-ab-bc-ac} \\ & =\frac{\left( a+b+c \right)\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-ab-bc-ac \right)}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-ab-bc-ac} \\ & =a+b+c \\ & =0.5+0.7+0.9=2.1 \\ \end{align}$

Question 3

The value of

$\frac{4.096\times 5241\times 2.167}{49.986\times 1362.114}$ is closest to

A	0.062
B	0.62
C	6.2
D	62

Question 3 Explanation:

Taking approximate values, we have

$\frac{4\times 5241\times 2}{50\times 1362}=0.61568=0.62$

Question 4

$\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}+\frac{1}{110}+\frac{1}{132}=?$

A	$12$
B	$\frac{1}{9}$
C	$\frac{5}{27}$
D	$\frac{1}{12}$

Question 4 Explanation:

$\begin{align} & \frac{1}{6\times 7}+\frac{1}{7\times 8}+\frac{1}{8\times 9}+\frac{1}{9\times 10}+\frac{1}{10\times 11}+\frac{1}{11\times 12} \\ & =\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{12} \\ & =\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{2-1}{12}=\frac{1}{12} \\ \end{align}$

Question 5

Simplify

$\sqrt{\,\left[ \,{{\left( 10.1 \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( 6.1 \right)}^{2}} \right]/\left[ \,{{\left( 0.25 \right)}^{2}}+\left( 0.25 \right)\,\left( 15.95 \right)\, \right]}$
