Answer: (a)A.

Only Conclusion II follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. All pets are birds → Does not follow (As all crows are birds and some crows are pets. So it is possible but not definite.)

II. Some birds are crows → Follow (As all crows are birds. As whole crows comes in birds, therefore it is true.)

∴ Here, Only Conclusion II follows.​

24

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (2nd number ÷ 3) × 2 = 1st number.

Now,

For 18 ∶ 27

⇒ (27 ÷ 3) × 2 = 9 × 2 = 18.

For 16 ∶ 24

⇒ (24 ÷ 3) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16.

Similarly, for ? ∶ 36

⇒ (36 ÷ 3) × 2 = 12 × 2 = 24.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Opposite pairs:

4 → 6

3 → 5

1 → 2

So, the opposite side of "5" will be side "3".

Question 569

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.

32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81

  1. AOption (a)

    +, ×, −, ÷

  2. BOption (b)

    ÷, −, ×, +

  3. COption (c)

    −, ×, ÷, −

  4. DOption (d)

    ×, ÷, +, − 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

×, ÷, +, − 

Why this answer is correct

Given: 32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81

According to the question, after replacing the signs:

Option 1) +, ×, −, ÷

32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81 ⇒ 32 + 6 × 12 - 67 ÷ 2 = 81

⇒ 32 + 6 × 12 - 67 ÷ 2 = 81

⇒ 32 + 6 × 12 - 33.5 = 81

⇒ 32 + 72 - 33.5 = 81

⇒ 104 - 33.5 = 81

⇒ 70.5 ≠ 81 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) ÷, −, ×, +

32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81 ⇒ 32 ÷ 6 - 12 × 67 + 2 = 81

⇒ 32 ÷ 6 - 12 × 67 + 2 = 81

⇒ 5.33 - 12 × 67 + 2 = 81

⇒ 5.33 + 2 - 804 = 81

⇒ 7.33 - 804 = 81

⇒ -796.67 ≠ 81 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  3) −, ×, ÷, − 

32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81 ⇒ 32 - 6 × 12 ÷ 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 32 - 6 × 12 ÷ 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 32 - 6 × 0.17 - 2 = 81

⇒ 32 - 1.02 - 2 = 81

⇒ 28.98 ≠ 81 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4) ×, ÷, +, − 

32 * 6 * 12 * 67 * 2 = 81 ⇒ 32 × 6 ÷ 12 + 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 32 × 6 ÷ 12 + 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 32 × 0.5 + 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 16 + 67 - 2 = 81

⇒ 83 - 2 = 81

⇒ 81 = 81 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Opposite pairs:

1 → 6

5 → 2

3 → 4

So, the opposite side of "5" will be side "2".

For find the opposite surface of 'Q', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,

So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,

From both dices, A is common and on the same surface. So, all remaining surface will be opposite to each other.

A is opposite to A.

P is opposite to R.

So, B will be opposite to Q.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".

5

Why this answer is correct

For find the opposite surface of '4', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,

So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,

When we move in clockwise direction starting from 6 we get;

In dice 1, 6 is adjacent to 5 and 2.

In dice 2, 6 is adjacent to 4 and 1.

→ 6 ⇔ 6; 2 ⇔ 1; 5 ⇔ 4

So, the remaining '5' will be the opposite face of '4'.

Hence, the correct answer is "5".
