# Exercise : 8

1. Which of the following is the highest fraction?
(a) 57
(b) 34
(c) 23
(d) 67
(e) 78

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.e

Note : If the difference between the numerator and the denominator is constant, then the fraction which has larger value in the numerator is the larger fraction.

Using the above, among the options (a), (c), (d) and (e), (e) has the larger value. Now, compared to option(a), (e) has the larger value.

2. If 49 of 310 of 58 of a number is 45, what is the number?
(a) 450
(b) 550
(c) 560
(d) 650
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.e

Number = $\frac{45 \times 9 \times 10 \times 8}{4 \times 3 \times 5} \Rightarrow 540$

3. What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?

257.5 × 52.5 ÷ 1251.5 = 5?

(a) 16
(b) 17.5
(c) 8.5
(d) 13
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.d

257.5 × 52.5 ÷ 1251.5 = 5?

or, 52 × 7.5 × 52.5 ÷ 53 × 1.5 = 5?

or 515 × 52.5 × 154.5 = 5?

or, 513 = 5? or, ? = 13
