If ‘A’ denotes ‘+’, ‘B’ denotes ‘×’, ‘C’ denotes ‘−’ and ‘D’ denotes ‘÷’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
(98 C 8) B 2 A 16 = ?
104
98
196
16
Correct answer
196
Why this answer is correct
Given Equation: (98 C 8) B 2 A 16 = ?
BODMAS Rule:
Decoding the given information:
| Alphabet | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | + | × | − | ÷ |
Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:
⇒ (98 C 8) B 2 A 16 = ?
⇒ (98 − 8) × 2 + 16 = ?
⇒ 90 × 2 + 16 = ?
⇒ 180 + 16
⇒ 196
Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(
NOTE:
Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)
(12, 44), (17, 64)
(27, 94)
(31, 124)
(22, 84)
(18, 74)
Correct answer
(22, 84)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: 1st number × 4 - 4 = 2nd number.
Now,
For (12, 44):
⇒ 12 × 4 - 4
= 48 - 4 = 44.
For (17, 64)
⇒ 17 × 4 - 4
= 68 - 4 = 64.
Similarly, for Option 3: (22, 84)
⇒ 22 × 4 - 4
= 88 - 4 = 84.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following series were to be continued?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
From figure 1 to 2 and figure 3 to 4:
All 3 bottom symbols are interchanging their position.
Top-left symbol shifts in middle surface and middle surface symbol shifts in middle position, middle shifts in middle-right position and middle-right symbol shifts in top-left corner position.
Top-right corner symbol interchange its position with left-middle position symbol.
From figure 2 to 3 and figure 4 to 5:
All 3 top symbols are interchanging their position.
Bottom and middle all 6 symbols are interchanging their position
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Four different positions of the same dice are shown below. What is opposite to 3?
6
1
4
2
Correct answer
4
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of '3', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 4,
When we move in clockwise direction starting from 3 we get;
In dice 1, 3 is adjacent to 2 and 6.
In dice 4, 3 is adjacent to 5 and 1.
→ 3 ⇔ 3; 2 ⇔ 1; 5 ⇔ 6
So, the remaining '4' will be the opposite face of '3'.
Hence, the correct answer is "4".

Five
Six
Three
One
Correct answer
One
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of 'two dots', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
In both dice, 4 and 6 dots are common.
So, the remaining 'one dot' will be the opposite face of 'two dots'.
Hence, the correct answer is "One".

34 : 170 :: 68 : ? :: 17 : 85
360
340
320
300
Correct answer
340
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number × 5) = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 34 : 170
⇒ (34 × 5) = 170.
For, 17 : 85
⇒ (17 × 5) = 85.
Similarly, for 68 : ?
⇒ (68 × 5) = 340.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

÷ and +
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 2 × 4 ÷ 5 - 25 + 5 = 8
Option 1) − and ×
By interchanging which two signs:
⇒ 2 - 4 ÷ 5 × 25 + 5 = 8
⇒ 2 - 0.8 × 25 + 5 = 8
⇒ 2 - 20 + 5 = 8
⇒ 7 - 20 = 8
⇒ -13 = 8
Option 2) − and +
By interchanging which two signs:
⇒ 2 × 4 ÷ 5 + 25 - 5 = 8
⇒ 2 × 0.8 + 25 - 5 = 8
⇒ 1.6 + 25 - 5 = 8
⇒ 26.6 - 5 = 8
⇒ 21.6 = 8
Option 3) ÷ and +
By interchanging which two signs:
⇒ 2 × 4 + 5 - 25 ÷ 5 = 8
⇒ 2 × 4 + 5 - 5 = 8
⇒ 8 + 5 - 5 = 8
⇒ 13 - 5 = 8
⇒ 8 = 8
Option 4) ÷ and ×
By interchanging which two signs:
⇒ 2 ÷ 4 × 5 - 25 + 5 = 8
⇒ 0.5 × 5 - 25 + 5 = 8
⇒ 2.5 - 25 + 5 = 8
⇒ 7.5 - 25 = 8
⇒ -17.5 = 8
Hence, the correct answer is "÷ and +".
