On Monday he counts 189 roses, he plucks the roses as per his plan on consecutive days and new roses bloom up as per the intelligence of the plants mentioned above. After some days which of the following can be the number of roses in the garden?
Answer: 4
Explanation:lets assume the case of 23.
when he picks up 23 roses the next day there will be 18 new,
so, in this case., 5 flowers will be less every day.

53. Car A leaves city C at 5pm and is driven at a speed of 40 kmph. Two hours later another car leaves city C and is driven in same direction as car A. In how much time car B be 9 km ahead of car A if the speed of car B is 60 kmph.
Answer: 4 hr 27min
Explanation:Given, car A speed = 40 kmph,
car B speed 60 kmph
Relative speed=(60-40)=20 kmph(as both are in same direction)
when car B started A has already covered distance = 40*2=80m
Time required for both car to be at same position = 80/20 = 4 hr
Additional distance = 9 km
Time required to cover this distance = (9/20)*60=27 min
Therefore, required time = 4hrs 27 min

55. Jake can dig a well in 16 days. Paul can dig the same well in 24 days. Jake, Paul and Hari together dig the well in 8 days. Hari alone can dig the well in ?
Answer: 48 days.
Explanation:As Jake , Paul and Hari can dig the well in 8 days,
Jack one day work = 1/16
Paul one day work = 1/24
Given, (Jake,Paul and hari) 1 day work = 1/8
So, 1/16 + 1/24 + 1/x = 1/8
=> 1/x=1/48
Therefore, Paul can finished work in 48 days.

56. There are two bottles A and B, each filled with milk and water in the ratio 5:3 and 1:2 respectively. A new mixture is formed by mixing the contents of A and B in the ratio 4:3.What is the ratio of composition of milk and water in the new mixture?
Answer: 1:1
Explanation:Bottle A mixture: milk = 5/8 & water=3/8
Bottle B mixture: milk = 1/3 & water=2/3
Given New mixture (Bottle A & B) ratio = 4:3
Now milk ratio = (5/8*4/7) + (1/3*3/7) = 1/2
and water = (3/8*4/7) + (2/3*3/7) = 1/2
So, New mixture ration milk : water = 1 : 1

57. Find the sum of number between 200 and 300, which is multiple of 3?
Answer: 8217
Explanation:Sequence: 201 + 204 + 207 + ...............+ 297
So n=33,a=201,l=297
So, s=n/2[a+l] = 33/2(201 + 297) = 33/2 * 498 =8217

58. Arun makes a popular brand of ice cream in a rectangular shaped bar 6cm long, 5cm wide and 2cm thick. To cut costs, the company had decided to reduce the volume of the bar by 19%. The thickness will remain same, but the length and width will be decreased by some percentage. The new width will be,
Answer: 4.5 cm.
Explanation:volume=l*b*h=6*5*2=60cm^3
now volume is reduced by 19%.therefore 81/100 *60=48.6
now,thickness remains same and let length and breadth be reduced by x%
so,new volume: 2*x/100 *6*x/100 *5=48.6
=>x=90 thus length and width is reduced by 90%
new width =90% of 5 =4.5

60. How many integers in the given below set do not contain the digit 7. 1000,1001,1002,-------------------------.9998,9999
Answer: 5832
Explanation:Total number of four digit numbers =9000 (9999 - 999)
Find the numbers not having digit 7 in them.
Now consider the units place it can be selected in 9 ways (i.e 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9)
Tens place it can be selected in 9 ways (i.e 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9)
Hundreds place it can be selected in 9 ways (i.e 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9)
Thousands place can be selected in 8 ways (i.e 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9) here '0' cannot be taken
Total number of numbers not having digit 7 in it =9 x 9 x 9 x 8 =5832
