Six numbers, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are written on different faces of a dice. Three positions of this dice are shown here. Find the number on the face opposite 12.
10
9
11
8
Correct answer
11
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of '12', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 2 and Dice 3,
When we move in clockwise direction starting from 12 we get;
→ 12 ⇔ 12; 9 ⇔ 10; 8 ⇔ 7
So, the remaining '11' will be the opposite face of '12'.
Hence, the correct answer is "11".
Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
198 * 11 * 18 * 20 * 50 * 294
÷ , ×, = , + , –
÷ , + , ×, – , =
÷ , ×, – , + , =
÷ ,×, + , –, =
Correct answer
÷ ,×, + , –, =
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 198 * 11 * 18 * 20 * 50 * 294
Option 1) ÷ , ×, = , + , –
By replacing the * signs:
⇒ 198 ÷ 11 × 18 = 20 + 50 - 294
⇒ 18 × 18 = 20 + 50 - 294
⇒ 324 = 70 - 294
⇒ 324 = -224
Option 2) ÷ , + , ×, – , =
By replacing the * signs:
⇒ 198 ÷ 11 + 18 × 20 - 50 = 294
⇒ 18 + 18 × 20 - 50 = 294
⇒ 18 + 360 - 50 = 294
⇒ 540 - 50 = 294
⇒ 490 = 294
Option 3) ÷ , ×, – , + , =
By replacing the * signs:
⇒ 198 ÷ 11 × 18 - 20 + 50 = 294
⇒ 18 × 18 - 20 + 50 = 294
⇒ 324 - 20 + 50 = 294
⇒ 374 - 20 = 294
⇒ 354 = 294
Option 4) ÷ ,×, + , –, =
By replacing the * signs:
⇒ 198 ÷ 11 × 18 + 20 - 50 = 294
⇒ 18 × 18 + 20 - 50 = 294
⇒ 324 + 20 - 50 = 294
⇒ 344 - 50 = 294
⇒ 294 = 294
Hence, the correct answer is "÷ ,×, + , –, =".
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some roses are lilies.
Some lilies are jasmine.
Conclusions:
I. Some jasmines are roses.
II. All jasmines are roses.
Only conclusion II follows
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Both conclusions I and II follow
Only conclusion I follows
Correct answer
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
Some roses are lilies.
Some lilies are jasmine.
The least possible Venn diagram:
Conclusions:
I. Some jasmines are roses. - False (Because there is no direct relation given between jasmines are roses. So, It does not follow)
II. All jasmines are roses. - False (Because there is no direct relation given between jasmines are roses. So, It does not follow)
Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion I nor II follows".

13
11
9
10
Correct answer
9
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: √(2nd number + 3) = 1st number.
Now,
For, 7 : 46

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
242 * 11 * 76 * 34 * 2 * 32
÷ − + × =
÷ + −× =
÷ + − = ×
Correct answer
÷ + − = ×
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 242 * 11 * 76 * 34 * 2 * 32
Option 1) ÷ − + × =
After replacing the * signs with mathematical signs:
⇒ 242 ÷ 11 - 76 + 34 × 2 = 32
⇒ 22 - 76 + 34 × 2 = 32
⇒ 22 - 76 + 68 = 32
⇒ 90 - 76 = 32
⇒ 14 = 32
Option 2) ÷ + −× =
After replacing the * signs with mathematical signs:
⇒ 242 ÷ 11 + 76 - 34 × 2 = 32
⇒ 22 + 76 - 34 × 2 = 32
⇒ 22 + 76 - 68 = 32
⇒ 98 - 68 = 32
⇒ 30 = 32
Option 3) + ÷ − = ×
After replacing the * signs with mathematical signs:
⇒ 242 + 11 ÷ 76 - 34 = 2 × 32
⇒ 242 + 0.14 - 34 = 2 × 32
⇒ 242.14 - 34 = 64
⇒ 208.14 = 64
Option 4) ÷ + − = ×
After replacing the * signs with mathematical signs:
⇒ 242 ÷ 11 + 76 - 34 = 2 × 32
⇒ 22 + 76 - 34 = 2 × 32
⇒ 98 - 34 = 64
⇒ 64 = 64
Hence, the correct answer is "÷ + − = ×".

C, D, E, F, M and N are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. D sits second to the right of M. F sits to the immediate left of N. N is not an immediate neighbour of M. C is not an immediate neighbour of D. Who among the following is an immediate neighbour of E?
N
F
D
C
Correct answer
D
Why this answer is correct
Given: C, D, E, F, M and N are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
F sits to the immediate left of N.
N is not an immediate neighbour of M.
D sits second to the right of M.
C is not an immediate neighbour of D.
From the diagram, D and M are the immediate neighbour of E. But M is not present in options.
So, D is an immediate neighbour of E.
Hence, the correct answer is "D".

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)
(40, 253, 17)
(30, 187, 13)
(50, 385, 15)
(25, 100, 15)
(40, 240, 20)
(17, 77, 9)
Correct answer
(50, 385, 15)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is: (1st number - 3rd number) × 11 = 2nd number
(40, 253, 17) → (40 - 17) × 11 = 23 × 11 = 253
(30, 187, 13) → (30 - 13) × 11 = 17 × 11 = 187
Similarly, (50, 385, 15) → (50 - 15) × 11 = 35 × 11 = 385
Hence, the correct answer is "385".
