Answer : 1. "1009"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1009 Explanation: Given total number of rats = 999919 999919 = 1000000 - 81 = 10002 - 92 = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.

Answer : 2. "720"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 720 Explanation: Let last digit is 2when second last digit is 4 remaining 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways, similarly second last digit is 6 remained 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways.so for last digit = 2, total numbers=240 Similarly for 4 and 6When last digit = 4, total no. of ways =240and last digit = 6, total no. of ways =240so total of 720 even numbers are possible.

Answer : 3. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3:2 Explanation: Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousersGiven that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)T = ( 81 - 3S )/7 We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of TSimplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7 Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9 Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we getS = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Answer : 2. "Rs. 3"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 3 Explanation: Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80% And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16 Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 = Rs.3

Answer : 4. "165"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 165 Explanation: Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333=> 111x = 333 or x=3So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.
