BODMAS RULE
If an expression has the operators like addition (+), subtraction (), multiplication (),
division (), bracket ( ) and of (of) then the precedence of simplification of these operators
is given by BODMAS rule. Here each letter of the word stands for first letter of the
operator i.e. B Bracket, Oof, DDivision, M Multiplication, AAddition and
SSubtraction.
Note: In an expression if two or more similar operators appear in succession then the
precedence should be from left to right.

15. The difference between two numbers is 43 and their product is 1344. What is the sum
1) 85
Ans: 1
of the numbers?
2) 88
3) 92
4) Cannot be determined
5) None of these
Solution: Let p, q be the two numbers.

p q = 43, pq = 1344
(p + q)2 = (p q)2 + 4pq
(p + q)2 = (43)2 + 4 1344
= 1849 + 5376 = 7225

(p + q ) = 7225 = 85

the number?
1) 41
2) 37
3) 43
4) 47
5) None of these
Ans: 5
Solution: x2 + (16)3 = 5617, x2 = 5617 (16)3 x2 = 5617 4096 = 1521, x = 1521 = 39
17. A canteen requires 56 kgs of rice for seven days. How many kgs of rice will it require
for the months of April and May together?
1) 496
2) 480
3) 498
4) 488
5) None of these
Ans: 4
Solution: Quantity of rice for 1 day
= 56/7 = 8
Number of days for April and May together = 30 + 31 = 61

Rice required for 61 days = 61 8 = 488
18. The product to two consecutive even numbers is 1088. Which is the larger number?
2) 32
3) 36
4) 34
5) None of these
1) 38
Ans: 4
Solution: Addition of 1 to the product gives a perfect square i.e. 1088 + 1 = 1089
The square root of 1089 will be the odd number between the two consecutive even
numbers.
1089 = 33, which is the odd number between 32 and 34.
34 is the larger number.

fraction will be at the 3rd place?

Ans: 4
2) 3/5
3) 2/11
1) 1/3
4) 3/8
5) None of these
Solution: Convert the fractions into decimal values.
3/5 = 0.60, 2/11 = 0.18, 4/7 = 0.57, 1/3 = 0.33, 5/6 = 0.83, 3/8 =0.37
Arranging them in the ascending order, 0.37 takes the 3rd place.
The fraction at 3rd place when arranged in ascending order = 3/8
