    Let the number be N
    According to the question,
    [N x (3/2)] - [N / (3/2)] =10

    Correct Option: B

    Let the number be N
    According to the question,
    [N x (3/2)] - [N / (3/2)] =10
    ⇒ 3N/2 - 2N/3 = 10
    ⇒ (9N - 4N)/6 = 10
    ⇒ 5N / 6 = 10
    ∴ N = (10 x 6)/5 =12

    Let the number be N
    According to the question 5N = 2N2 - 3

    Correct Option: A

    Let the number be N
    According to the question 5N = 2N2 - 3
    ⇒ 2N2 - 5N -3 = 0
    ⇒ (N - 3) (2N + 1) = 0
    N = 3 & -1/2
    Thus the required number is 3


  1. If a =16 and b= 5, the value of (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3 - b3) is ?

    Given Exp. = (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3-b3)
    = 1 / (a - b)

    Correct Option: A

    Given Exp. = (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3-b3)
    = 1 / (a - b)
    = 1 / (16 - 5)
    = 1/11.



  1. The sum of five consecutive odd number is equal to 175. What is the sum of the second large number and the square of the smallest number among them together?

    Sum of the five consecutive odd number = N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) + (N + 6) + (N + 8) =175

    Correct Option: D

    Sum of the five consecutive odd number = N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) + (N + 6) + (N + 8) =175
    ⇒ 5N + 20 =175
    ⇒ N = (175 - 20) / 5 = 31

    Sum of the second largest and square of smallest one = (31 + 6) + (31)2
    = 37 + 961=998
