(
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 /subtracting/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, 34, 5)
(3, 18, 6)
(2, 36, 4)
(2, 10, 3)
(4, 5, 1)
(4, 30, 2)
Correct answer
(2, 10, 3)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
(12, 34, 5)
(12 + 5) × 2 = 34
17 × 2 = 34
34 = 34 (LHS = RHS)
And,
(3, 18, 6)
(3 + 6) × 2 = 18
9 × 2 = 18
18 = 18 (LHS = RHS)
So, checking each option one by one:
Option 1) (2, 36, 4)
(2 + 4) × 2 = 36
6 × 2 = 36
12 ≠ 36 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 2) (2, 10, 3)
(2 + 3) × 2 = 10
5 × 2 = 10
10 = 10 (LHS = RHS)
Option 3) (4, 5, 1)
(4 + 1) × 2 = 5
5 × 2 = 5
10 ≠ 5 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 4) (4, 30, 2)
(4 + 2) × 2 = 30
6 × 2 = 30
12 ≠ 30 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Thus, out of all the options, '(2, 10, 3)' follows the same logic as given.
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

25155416*21
+, ÷, ×, –,=
÷, –, ×, +, =
+, ×, –, =, ÷
+, –, ×, ÷, =
Correct answer
+, ÷, ×, –,=
Why this answer is correct
Given : 25155416*21
According to the question, after replacing the signs:
Option 1): +, ÷, ×, –,=
25155416*21 ⇒ 25 + 15 ÷ 5 × 4 – 16 = 21
⇒ 25 + 15 ÷ 5 × 4 – 16 = 21
⇒ 25 + 3 × 4 – 16 = 21
⇒ 25 + 12 – 16 = 21
⇒ 37 – 16 = 21
⇒ 21 = 21 (LHS = RHS)
Option 2): ÷, –, ×, +, =
25155416*21 ⇒ 25 ÷ 15 – 5 × 4 + 16 = 21
⇒ 25 ÷ 15 – 5 × 4 + 16 = 21
⇒ 1.67 – 5 × 4 + 16 = 21
⇒ 1.67 + 16 – 20 = 21
⇒ 17.67 – 10 = 21
⇒ 7.67 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 3): +, ×, –, =, ÷
25155416*21 ⇒ 25 + 15 × 5 – 4 = 16 ÷ 21
⇒ 25 + 15 × 5 – 4 = 16 ÷ 21
⇒ 25 + 75 – 4 = 0.76
⇒ 100 – 4 = 0.76
⇒ 96 ≠ 0.76 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 4): +, –, ×, ÷, =
25155416*21 ⇒ 25 + 15 – 5 × 4 ÷ 16 = 21
⇒ 25 + 15 – 5 × 4 ÷ 16 = 21
⇒ 25 + 15 – 5 × 0.25 = 21
⇒ 25 + 15 – 1.25 = 21
⇒ 40 – 1.25 = 21
⇒ 38.75 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

If ‘A’ denotes ‘+’, ‘B’ denotes ‘×’, ‘C’ denotes ‘−’ and ‘D’ denotes ‘÷’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
(21 B 3) C 33 D ? = 60
30
11
3
13
Correct answer
11
Why this answer is correct
Given Equation: (21 B 3) C 33 D ? = 60
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:
⇒ 21 × 3 − 33 ÷ ? = 60
⇒ 63 − 33 ÷ ? = 60
⇒ 63 − 33 ÷ ? = 60
⇒ 33 ÷ ? = 3
⇒ ? = 11
Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

How many triangles are there in the given figure?
30
22
28
20
Correct answer
28
Why this answer is correct
The number of triangles in the given figure are shown below:
1) Number of triangles = [Number of parts × (1 + Number of parts)] ÷ 2
= [2 × (1 + 2)] ÷ 2
= [2 × 3] ÷ 2
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
As there are marked 8 triangles, therefore (8 × 3) = 24
Thus, as marked there are a total of (24 + 4) = 28 triangles in the given figure.
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
