NUMERICAL REASONING

Look at this series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4), ... What number should come next?
-(1/8)
This is a simple division series; each number is one-half of the previous number.
In other terms to say, the number is divided by 2 successively to get the next result.
4/2 = 2
2/2 = 1
1/2 = 1/2
(1/2)/2 = 1/4
(1/4)/2 = 1/8 and so on.
The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's
age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be:
-20 years

A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his
son. The present age of his son is:
-22 years
Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.
(x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
x + 26 = 2x + 4
x = 22.

Nick is younger than Meijie by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9,
how old is Nick?
-24.5 years
Let Meijie's age be x years.
Then, Nick's age = (x - 7) years.
x - 7/x = 7/9
9x - 63 = 7x
2x = 63
x = 31.5
Hence, Nick's age =(x - 7) = 24.5 years.

The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging
the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits
of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2 ?
-8
Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is
greater than the unit's digit.
Let ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.
Then, (10 x 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 36
9x = 36
x = 4.
Required difference = (2x + x) - (2x - x) = 2x = 8.

Find the next number. 5, 6, 10, 19, 35, 60, ____.

-96
This is a series with a difference of 1^2, 2^2, 3^2,........
1^2 = 1; 5 + 1 = 6
2^2 = 4; 6 + 4 = 10
3^2 = 9; 10 + 9 = 19
4^2 = 16; 19 + 16 = 35
5^2 = 25; 35 + 25 = 60
6^2 = 36; 60 + 36 = 96

The ratio between the total expenditure on Taxes for all the years and the total
expenditure on Fuel and Transport for all the years respectively is approximately?
-10:13
Required ratio
= [ (83 + 108 + 74 + 88 + 98)/(98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142) ]
= [ 451/586 ]
= 1/1.3
= 10/13 or 10:13

The price of the book is marked 20% above the C.P. If the marked price of the book is
Php. 180, then what is the cost of the paper used in a single copy of the book?
-37.50
Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.
Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P
Let the cost of paper for a single book be n.
Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n
n = Php. [ (25 x 180)/120 ]
n = Php. 37.50
