Basic Numeracy/Quantitative Aptitude

Detailed Solution

58. d: Do not assume that AB and C are on a straight line. Make a diagram with A and B marked 5 miles apart. Draw a circle centered on B, with radius 6. C could be anywhere on this circle. The minimum distance will be 1, and maximum 11, but anywhere in between is possible.

59. b: We can write the statement mathematically, using x to mean ‘of’ and /100 for ‘per cent’. So ( _5/100) x 5_5 = 5 x 5 /100 = 0.25

60. d: If pqr = 1, none of these variable can be zero. Since spr = 0 , and since p and r are not zero, s must be zero. (Note that although rst = 0, and so either s or t must be zero, this is not sufficient to state which must be zero)

61. d: 65 = 64x 6 (64 x 6) - 64 = 64(6 - 1) = 64 x 5 Now, dividing by 5 will give us 64

62. d: All terms in the sequence will be multiples of 4. 762 is not a multiple of 4
