Question 1 How many numbers are there between 1 and 100 that are not divisible by 2, 3 and 5 ?

Options

(a) 24

(b) 20

(c) 25

(d) 22

Solution:

Question 3 In the following diagram, triangle represents people who can sing, circle represents people who can paint. If the number of people who know to do exactly 2 of the above mentioned things is equal to the number of people who can paint is

Options

(a) 23

(b) 13

(c) 53

(d) 63

Solution :     Number of people who can do exactly 2 out of the 3 activities = 12 + 21 + 20 = 53.

Let the missing value be ‘x’.

Number of people who can do exactly one of the 3 activities = 23 + 7 + x = 30 + x.

It has been given that 30+x = 53

x = 23

Number of people who can paint = 12+8+20+23 = 63.

Therefore, option D is the right answer.

Correct Option: D

Questions 4 In the following diagram, each geometric shape represents a movie
