Below are given six three-digit numbers. The digits comprise
ofnumeric and letters. The letter indicates its serial order in
the English alphabet. What will be the middle digit of the 4th
number when the numbers are arranged in the descending
order after interchanging numeric in each number without
altering the place of letter in the number?
19F, 2H9, 98B, D76, 7A6, 61E
We have to interchange numeric first :
91F,9H2,89B,D67,6A7,16E
now convert letters into numerics :
916,982,892,567,617,165
Now we have to put them in descending order :
982,916,892,617,567,165
the middle one of 4th number is A (617 , 1=A) answer

handshakes were there?
Start with small number to validate and
understand. Suppose there are 4 persons, first
will shake hand with 3, second will shake hand
with 2, third will shake hand with 1. we have :
3+2+1 = 6. thus we can say : N * (N -1) / 2= 6
similarly here : (20 * (20-1)/ 2 = 190 answer

Raju had to add two digits, but by mistake he
multiplied these two digits and got 56. He was again
asked to add these two digits, but this time he squared
up these numbers and found their difference, it was
15. what will you get if you find the correct answer ?
X* Y = 56
X^2 – Y^2 = 15
(x+Y) (X-Y) = 15
now try with options at this stage. Take factors of 56,
which are : 2*2*2*7
the factors could be : 4*14 or 8*7
so X = 8 and Y = 7, their difference is 1 and X +Y = 15,
so the correct answer is 15. answer

Mayank swims across a river a distance of 200
meters 12 minutes, but he can also swim with
the current in water same distance in 5
minutes. What is his speed in still water?
Formula = (Distance ) / (Time ) = speed
while going accross the river, the speed is : X-Y= a
( 200/12)= 16.66 , where X is Mayank's speed and Y =
water's speed
while with the water, the speed is X + Y = b (200/5) = 40
the speed of Mayank is average of 40 and 16.66 = 28.33

A,B,C speak one statement true and one false.
A says to B : “I am a thief.” 2. “You are a
Doctor.” B: “Yes, I am a doctor” “C is a
thief.” C adds : 1. “ I am a theif.” “B is a
Doctor.” Who is theif ?
Let us suppose A's 1st statemet is right, 2nd statement is wrong. Thus
B's 1st statement is false and 2nd right. C's 2nd statement is false, thus
1st is correct. Here there are two theifs – A and C.
If we assume A's 2nd statement to be correct, then A is not a theif,
and no one is a theif.
Thus either no one is theif or A+C both are theives. Logically , NO
ONE is theif here.

A had to buy some nuts. He buys half the nuts
required. He takes them and his son steals half of
these. Out of remaining, his daughter steals half. Now
when A is fired by his boss that he had brought
exactly 70 less than what was required. What is the
ratio of nuts brought and to be brought?
Suppose he buys 24 nuts instead of 48. his son
takes away 12 and his daughter takes away 6
out of the remaining. He finally has 42 less
than required. Thus original requirements :
70/42* 48 = 80
thus ratio is : 1:8 answer (you may assume any
numbers but answer will be same).
