    D. 202
    E. 202.5
    Answer – E. 202.5
    Explanation :
    2² * 0.5 +1 = 3
    3² * 0.5 +1.5 = 6
    6² * 0.5 +2 = 20
    20² * 0.5 +2.5 = 202.5

  2. 16,58,88,108,120, ?
    A. 124
    B. 126
    C. 136
    D. 142
    E. 154
    Answer – B. 126
    Explanation :
    16+7² -7 = 58
    58+6² -6 = 88
    88+5² -5 = 108
    108+4² -4 = 120
    120+3² -3 = 126

  3. 20,100,160,200,220,?
    A. 240
    B. 260
    C. 270
    D. 280
    E. None
    Answer – E. None 
    Explanation :
    20+9² – 1² = 100
    100+8² – 2² = 160
    160+7² – 3² = 200
    200+6² – 4² = 220
    220+5² – 5² = 220

  4. 224,?,444,1329,5312,26555
    A. 223
    B. 224
    C. 324
    D. 412
    E. 444
    Answer – A. 223
    Explanation :
    224*1-1 = 223
    223*2 -2 = 444
    444*3 – 3 = 1329
    1329*4 – 4 = 5312
    5312*5 – 5 = 26555

  5. 10,10,30,70,130,?
    A. 160

    D. 190
    E. 210
    Answer – E. 210
    Explanation :
    10+5² -5² = 10
    10+6² -4² = 30
    30+7² – 3² = 70
    70+8² – 2² = 130
    130+9² – 1² = 210

  6. An inlet pipe can fill an empty Tank in 2 hours. An outlet pipe can empty the same tank in 6 hours. The tank is also having a hole through which water leaks.The hole is draining water at the 1/3 rd rate of the outlet pipe.

    B. 1 hour 12 min
    C. 1 hour 15 min
    D. 2 hours
    E. None
    Answer – D. 2 hours
    Explanation :
    1/2 – 1/6 – 1/18 = 15/54
    54/15*5/9 = 2

  8. Ramesh wishes to fence a rectangular farm of 2000m 2 area in which length is greater than breadth. He used 130mts of wire to fence the farm on three sides which is the least length of wire which can be utilized by him. The cost of 1 m wire is Rs.3 then how much difference would be there if he fences fours sides instead of three sides?

    D. Rs. 200
    E. None
    Answer – B. Rs. 150
    Explanation :
    l*b = 2000
    2b+l = 130
    l = 50 b= 40
    cost of fencing three sides = 130*3 = 390
    cost of fencing four sides = 180*3 = 540

  9. A building contractor takes contract to do a work in 30 days by 40 men. In the first 10 days 10 men were absent. In the second 10 days all men were present. Now how many more men he need to employ so that work is finished in time?

  10. Sravan has to row from place A to place B and back in 6 hours which is at a certain distance. Due to bad light, he couldn’t recognize Place B and rowed 60 Km further. Then he realized and started return back to Place A. Due to this he travelled for 2 more hours than the original journey. Ratio of the speed of Boat to the stream is 2:1. Then what is entire distance covered by him?.
    A. 240 Km
    B. 300 Km
    C. 360 Km
    D. 480 Km
    E. Cannot be determined
    Answer – D. 480 Km
    Explanation :
    6 = D(1/3x+1/x)
    2= 60(1/3x+1/x)
    x = 40
    D =180
    Total distance travelled = (180+60)*2 = 480
