    98
    × 99
    99

    = 999 × 99 + 98
    = (1000 – 1) 99 + 98
    = 99000 – 99 + 98 = 98999

    Correct Option: A

    999 +
    98
    × 99
    99

    = 999 × 99 + 98
    = (1000 – 1) 99 + 98
    = 99000 – 99 + 98 = 98999

    Length of the road = 1000 metre
    Number of plants on one side of the road

    =
    1000
    + 1 = 51
    20

    ∴  Total number of plants
    = 2 × 51 = 102

  1. A man has some hens and cows. If the number of heads : number of feet = 12 : 35, find out the number of hens, if the number of heads alone is 48.

    Number of hens = x
    ∴  Number of cows = 48 – x
    ∴  2x + (48 – x ) × 4 = 35 × 4
    ⇒  2x + 192 – 4x = 140
    ⇒  2x = 192 – 140 = 52
    ⇒  x = 26

    Correct Option: B

    Number of hens = x
    ∴  Number of cows = 48 – x
    ∴  2x + (48 – x ) × 4 = 35 × 4
    ⇒  2x + 192 – 4x = 140
    ⇒  2x = 192 – 140 = 52
    ⇒  x = 26

    Let the required number be x.
    ∴  x2 + x = 2 × 3 × 5
    ⇒  x2 + x – 30 = 0
    ⇒  x2 + 6x – 5x – 30 = 0
    ⇒  x (x + 6) – 5 (x + 6) = 0
    ⇒  (x – 5) (x + 6) = 0
    ⇒  x = 5

    Correct Option: C

    Let the required number be x.
    ∴  x2 + x = 2 × 3 × 5
    ⇒  x2 + x – 30 = 0
    ⇒  x2 + 6x – 5x – 30 = 0
    ⇒  x (x + 6) – 5 (x + 6) = 0
    ⇒  (x – 5) (x + 6) = 0
    ⇒  x = 5



  1. If the digits in the unit and the ten’s places of a three digit number are interchanged, a new number is formed, which is greater than the original number by 63. Suppose the digit in the unit place of the original number be x. Then, all the possible values of x are

    Let the two digit number be
    10y + x where x > y
    ∴  10x + y – 10y – x = 63
    ⇒  9x – 9y = 63
    ⇒  x – y = 7
    ∴  x = 7, 8, 9 and y = 0, 1, 2

    Correct Option: B

    Let the two digit number be
    10y + x where x > y
    ∴  10x + y – 10y – x = 63
    ⇒  9x – 9y = 63
    ⇒  x – y = 7
    ∴  x = 7, 8, 9 and y = 0, 1, 2
