Lets find sum of top-left to bottom-right diagonal where all terms are known,
4 3 6 9 9 31
+ + + + =

Step 2
Now lets find sum of all available terms in top-right to bottom-left diagonal,
3 8 6 2 19
+ + + =

Step 1
Let us first convert the given mixed fractions into improper fractions. In order to convert
29
the mixed fraction 12 into an improper fraction, we need to multiply the
30
denominator 30 by 12 and add the numerator 29 to the result. The resulting number is
the numerator of the improper fraction and the denominator remains the same:
29 12 × 30 + 29 389
12 = =
30 30 30
22
Similarly, the mixed fraction 2 can be converted to an improper fraction as:
45
22 2 × 45 + 22 112
2 = =

The LCM of 30 and 45 is 90.

Step 4
What should we multiply with the denominator 30 to get the LCM 90?
90
It is = 3.
30
So, the first fraction can be written as:
389 × 3 1167
=
90 90

Step 5
Similarly, the second fraction can be written as:
112 × 2 224
=

whole thing, and has been divided into 16 equal parts.

Step 2
4
The fact that only 4 parts are shaded in the first circle tells us that it represents the fraction
16
or ‘4 parts of a thing that has been broken into 16 parts’.

Step 3
Similarly, the second circle represents ‘5 parts of a thing that has been broken into 16 parts’.

Step 4
Similarly, the third circle represents ‘2 parts of a thing that has been broken into 16 parts’.

Step 5
4 parts plus 5 parts plus 2 parts of something that has been broken into 16 parts will be same as

If we look at the regular polygon carefully, we notice that there are 6 sides of a regular polygon.
1
Therefore, the length of a side of the regular polygon =
6

Step 2
17
Since, the distance walked by the rabbit on the periphery, in the clockwise direction =
30
Therefore, the number of sides walked by the rabbit on the regular polygon =
Distance walked by the rabbit
Length of a side of the polygon

= 3.4
It means that the rabbit walked on 3 sides of the regular polygon and the rabbit is walking on the
4th side of the regular polygon, in the clockwise direction.

Step 3
17
Since, it started from point s, the rabbit will be on the side D, after walking distance on the
30
periphery in the clockwise direction.

Step 4
Hence, option a is the correct answer.

(15) greater

Step 1
A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. The whole may be a single object or a group
of objects.
Improper fractions are a type of fractions wherein the numerator is greater than the denominator.
For example, 7/5 is an improper fraction.
On the other hand, the fractions wherein the denominator is greater than the numerator are called
proper fractions. For example, 1/5.

Step 2
The following illustrations will help us understand how different types of fractions are different from
one another.

From the above diagrams, we can conclude that 7/5 is greater than 1.

Step 3
Hence, improper fractions are greater than 1.
