Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(331, 197, 452) 

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

(291, 138, 353)

(291 + 138) - 76 = 353

429 - 76 = 353

353 = 353 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(178, 154, 256) 

(291 + 138) - 76 = 353

429 - 76 = 353

353 = 353 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (410, 104, 428) 

(410 + 104) - 76 = 428

514 - 76 = 428

438 ≠ 428 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (331, 197, 452)

(331 + 197) - 76 = 452

528 - 76 = 353

452 = 452 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) (125, 136, 191)

(125 + 136) - 76 = 191

261 - 76 = 191

185 ≠ 191 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) (206, 148, 280)

(206 + 148) - 76 = 280

354 - 76 = 280

278 ≠ 280 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(331, 197, 452)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

− and +

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 84 ÷ 6 + 9 - 12 ×  3 = 41

Option 1) − and ×

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 84 ÷ 6 + 9 × 12 -  3 = 41

⇒ 14 + 9 × 12 -  3 = 41

⇒ 14 + 108 -  3 = 41

⇒ 122 -  3 = 41

⇒ 119 = 41

Option 2) ÷ and ×

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 84 × 6 + 9 - 12 ÷ 3 = 41

⇒ 84 × 6 + 9 - 4 = 41

⇒ 504 + 9 - 4 = 41

⇒ 514 - 4 = 41

⇒ 510 = 41

Option 3) + and ×

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 84 ÷ 6 × 9 - 12 +  3 = 41

⇒ 14 × 9 - 12 +  3 = 41

⇒ 126 - 12 +  3 = 41

⇒ 129 - 12 = 41

⇒ 117 = 41

Option 4) − and +

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 84 ÷ 6 - 9 + 12 ×  3 = 41

⇒ 14 - 9 + 12 ×  3 = 41

⇒ 14 - 9 + 36 = 41

⇒ 50 - 9 = 41

⇒ 41 = 41

Hence, the correct answer is "− and +".
