(E) None of these

Key with Explanations

1-B; The pattern of the number series is:

958 – 833 = 125;

833 – 733 = 100

733-658 = 75;

658-608 = 50

∴ ? = 608 – 25 = 583

2-D; The pattern of the number series is:

11 x1 -1 =10;

10×2-2 = 18;

18×3-3 = 51;

51 x 4 – 4 = 200 ;

200 x 5 – 5 = 995

3-A; The pattern of the number series is:

25 x 2 – 2 = 50 – 2 = 48

48 x 2 – 2 = 96 – 2 = 94

94×2-2 = 188-2 = 186

186×2-2 = 372-2 = 370

370 x 2 – 2 = 740 – 2 = 738

4-B; The pattern of the number series is:

14 + 10 = 24

24 + 19 (=10 + 9) =43

43 + 28 (=19 + 9) =71

71 +37 (=28+ 9) = 108

108 + 46 (=37+ 9) = 154

5-E; The pattern of the number series is :

144 + 29 = 173;

173-33 = 140;

140 + 29 = 169;

169-33 = 136;

136 + 29 = 165

6-C;

7-C; From (A) and (C) let speed of boat in still water be x.

$\frac{6}{2+x}$+ $\frac{6}{2-x}$=4

6(x – 2) + 6(x + 20) = 4 x (x2 – 4)

x = -1, 4 (Negative value) From (A) and (B) let time taken to go upstream be y hour, (y – 2) + y = 4 implies y = 3 hours.

Speed in still water $\frac{\frac{6}{1}+ \frac{6}{3}} {2}$=4Kmph

From (B) and (C),

Speed in still water = 2 x$\frac{3+1}{3-1}$=4 Kmph

8-D; From statements (A) and (C), X alone can do the work in 6x $\frac{5}{3}$=10 days

Y alone can do the work in 10x $\frac{3}{2}$=15 days

Z alone can do the work in 30 days.

Hence, all three together can do the work in 5 days.

From statement (B) alone, Z works for 5 days and the remaining work is done by X and Y together. Hence, all three together can do the work in 5 days.

Hence B alone or A and C together is sufficient.
