Let ‘x’ be the denominator (x 0, 10).
Then, the fraction is 10 – x
x
, which can be simplified
further if x and 10 – x have common factors which is
possible if x = 2, 4, 5, 6, 8
So, there are 5 such fractions possible.

The median will take the least value when all the 7
unknown observations are less than 11. Then, the
median (13th observation) is 15.
So, M 15
The median will take the greatest value when all the
7 unknown observations are greater than 17. Then,
the median (13th observation) is 17.So M 17
Hence, 15 M 17

90. Answer (3)
Consider this
12 + 22 = 5; 22 + 32 = 13; 32 + 42 = 25;
42 + 52 = 41; 52 + 62 = 61; 62 + 72 = 85;
72 + 82 = 113
So, the only two digit numbers that can be
expressed as the sum of the squares of two
consecutive natural numbers are 13, 25, 41, 61 and
85 i.e., 5 numbers. The remaining 2 digit numbers
(90 – 5 = 85) are the numbers that cannot be
expressed as the sum of the squares of two
consecutive natural numbers.

25 = Median of 19 observations = 10th observation
So, 30 > 25
Hence, the number of observations more than 30 can
be at the most 9.
94. Answer (2)
Case-I : If the 3 consecutive natural numbers are
2k – 1, 2k and 2k + 1, then
N = (2k – 1)2 + (2k)2 + (2k + 1)2
= 12k2 + 2
Case-II : If the 3 consecutive natural numbers are 2k,
2k + 1 and 2k + 2, then
N = (2k)2 + (2k + 1)2 + (2k + 2)2
= 12k2 + 12k + 5
So, if N is divided by 12, then the remainder can be
2 or 5.
95. Answer (3)
96. Answer (2)
Let son’s present age be x years.
5 years ago, father's age = 10(x – 5) years
15 years from now, father's age = 2(x + 15) years
Also, 2(x + 15) – 10(x – 5) = 20
x + 15 – 5x + 25 = 10
x = 71
2
So, father's present age = 10(x – 5) + 5
= 30 years

111. Answer (4)
Let the digit in the units place be x
Then, the digit in the ten's plane = 11 – x
n = 10(11 – x) + x = 110 – 9x …(i)
and N = 10x + (11 – x) = 11 + 9x …(ii)
n + N = 121
112. Answer (2)
1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × ...× n = (n – 2) × 180º
As 180 is a multiple of 9, so n 6.
Also, 180 is not a multiple of 7
n < 7
Hence, n = 6 is the only possibility
For n = 6,
LHS = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 = 720
and RHS = (6 – 2) × 180° = 720°
So, n = 6.
Note : The possibility n – 2 = 7 or n = 9 makes
LHS a multiple of 81 whereas (n – 2) × 180 is not
a multiple of 81.
