Why this answer is correct

Given Equation: 55 C 5 A 40 B 2 A 320 D 4 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

AlphabetABCD
Meaning+×−÷

 

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 55 - 5 + 40 × 2 + 320 ÷ 4 = ?

⇒ 55 - 5 + 40 × 2 + 80 = ?

⇒ 55 - 5 + 80 + 80 = ?

 

⇒ 215 - 5 = 210.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

F

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

From the given three different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As F is common on both the dices I and II, it is clear that A, D, C, and E are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. B will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

D → C

A → E

F → B

So, the opposite side of "B" will be side "F".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(11, 25, 53) 

Why this answer is correct

3The logic follows here is:

Logic: 1st number × 3 - 8 = 2nd number × 2 + 3 = 3rd number.

For, (5, 7, 17)

⇒ 5 × 3 = 15 - 8 = 7 × 2 = 14 + 3 = 17

For, (7, 13, 29)

Similarly, 

 (11, 25, 53) 

⇒  11 × 3 = 33 - 8 = 25 × 2 = 50 + 3 = 53

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

From the given two different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As U is common on both the dices, it is clear that S, R, P, and T are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. Q will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

S → T

R → P

U → Q

So, the opposite side of "P" will be side "R".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
