(ii) L collected 3 more than the cube of an integer
(iii) The no. Collected by J was the square of an integer.
(iv) Total no. Collected by K was either the square or cube of an integer.
1. The no. Collected by J was:
(1) 27 (2) 49 (3) 36 (4) 64

L=12, N=11, J=27, M=14, K=36
4. A man can row 6 km/hr. in still water. If the speed of stream is 2km/hr., it takes him 3 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
5. F(n) is a function...where f(f(n))+f(n)=2n+3.
F(n)=0;find f(2012) ?
6. How many vehicle registration plate numbers can be formed with digits 1,2,3,4,5(no digits being repeated)if it is given that registration number can have 1 to 5 digits ?
Options: 205 100 325 105
7. You can have registration plates of 5,4,3,2 or 1 digits
So, it's 5*4*3*2*1 + 5*4*3*2 + 5*4*3 +5*4 + 5
=120 + 120 + 60 + 20 +5
=> 325
8. A merchant buys 20kg of wheat at rs.30.00 per kg and 40kg wheat at rs.25.00 per kg.He mixes them and sell one third of the mixture at rs.26.00 per kg. The price at which the merchant should sell the remaining mixture so that he may earn a profit of 25% on his whole outlay is
Total cp = 20 * 30 + 40*25= 1600
Sp = 125/100 * 1600= 2000
Sp for 20kg mix = 26*20 =520
Rem sp = 2000-520 = 1480
As this sp is for 40 kg = 1480 / 40 = Rs37
9. Four friends namely Rahul, Ravi, Rajesh and Rohan contested for a dairy milk chocolate. To decide which friend will get the chocolate they decided to throw two dice. Every friend was asked to choose a number and if the sum of the numbers on two dice equals that number, the concerned person will get the chocolate. Rahul's choice was7, Ravi's choice was 9, Rajesh's choice was 10 and Rohan's choice was 11. Who has the maximum probability of winning the amount?
A) Rahul b) Ravi c) Rajesh d) Rohan
10. Messrs. Siva Constructions, leading agents in Chennai prepared models of their lands in the shape of a rectangle and triangle. They made models having same area. The length and width of rectangle model are 24 inches and 8 inches respectively. The base of the triangle model is 16 inches. What is the altitude of triangle model from the base to the top?
A) 24 inches b) 8 inches c) 20 inches d) 32 inches
If h is the height of triangle model, then 24*8 = 16*h/2 h= 24 inches
11. In month of jan 4 thursday and 4 sunday then on 1st jan of that month which willbe the day?
1. Monday
2. Friday

4. Wednesday
12. There is a 12*6 grid...grid contains 1*1 squares. What is d total number of squares..(consider 1*1,2*2,3*3,4*4,5*5,6*6 size squares as well).
13. 7,5,9,12,18,36,47,72,?
14. 5, 9, 12, 18, 26, 36, 47, 72, _?
It is 5 ...... 12....... 26......... 47
12= 5+7
26= 12+2×7
47=26+3×7
Next is 47+4×7=75
And 9, 18, 36, 72 hence next 144
Therefore 5, 9, 12, 18, 26, 36, 47, 72, 75, 144
15. F(x)=f(f(x))=f(x^2)....how many such functions with degree >2 exist
16. The length and breadth of a field is 300x400ft, if there are 3 ants on average per square inch of field, find the approximate number of ants in field
As 300 ft=3600 inch and 400 ft=4800 inch.then area in sqr inch=17280000
1 sqr inch need 3 ant hence 17280000 sqr inch need 3*17280000 ants
17. The diagonal of a square is twice the side of equilateral triangle the ratio of Area of the Triangle to the Area of Square is?
A) 3:8
B) 2:5
C) 3:6
D) 2:4
Ratio = sqrt3*a^2/8a^2....i.e sqrt3/8
18. A, B COMMON TO ALL THREE. THEN ATLEAST 1 ELEMNT COMMON TO 2 IE X1,X2,X2,X3,X3,X1. FINDMINIMUM ELEMENTS IN EACH GROUP.
ANSWER IS 4.
19. There are three dice, threw 3 times probability of getting 10 is ?
Possible event.......(1,3,6)(1,4,5)(1,5,4)(1,6,3)(2,2,6)(2,3,5)(2,4,4)(2,5,3)(2,6,2)(3,1,6)(3,2,5)(3,3,4)(3,4,3)(3,5,2)(3,6,1)(4,1,5)(4,2,4)(4,3,3)(4,4,2)(4,5,1)(5,1,4)(5,2,3)(5,3,2)(5,4,1)(6,1,3)(6,2,2)(6,3,1)
Total 27 possible events
Given dice is thrown 3 times
So probability is ..........3*27/216
20. What is the probability of throwing 3 dices to get a sum of 10?
