Answer:

15                           16                           19                           28                           55

                                15+1                      16+3                      19+ 9                     28+27

                                15 + 30                   16 + 31                   19 +32                    28 + 33

Therefore, answer is 55 + 34  = 55 + 91 =151.

framing of equation

Rishu is as much younger to Nanu as he is older to Bhanu. The sum of ages of Nanu and Bhanu is 8.
How old is Rishu now?

Answer:
N- R = R - B 
where, N = nanu's age
R = rishu's age
B = Bhanu's age

Therefore, 2R = N + B 
or, 2R = 8, given N + B = 8
or, R = 4 years.

So, Rishu's age is 4 years.

The sum of 3 consecutive even number is 78. What is the middle number?

Answer:
In this type of questions, where they say of consecutive even numbers or odd numbers, please the following step:
First number:  a – 2
Second number: a
Third number: a + 2
So, sum of the numbers = a-2 + a + a + 2 = 3a
Now given 3a = 78
So, a = 26.
So, the middle number is 26.

How many numbers between 281 and 651 are divisible by 2,3,4, and 5?

Answer:

The LCM of 2,3,4, and 5 is 60.
We will find the total number of integers that are completely divisible by 60, upto 281.
i.e. 281 / 60 = 4 41/60. So, only 4 integers.
We will find the total number of integers that are completely divisible by 60, upto 651.
i.e. 651 / 60 = 10 51/60. So, only 10 integers.
Therefore, between 651 and 281, we have 10 – 4 = 6 integers.
