Answer: (d)D.

1

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

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

As 1 is common on both the dices, it is clear that X, 3, Z, and 2 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. Y will be opposite to it.

​

Opposite pairs:

X → 2

3 → Z

1 → Y

So, the opposite side of "Y" will be side "1".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 725

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given expression.

13 * 7 * 32 * 56 * 4 * 73

  1. AOption (a)

    +, ×, –, ÷, =

  2. BOption (b)

    ×, –, +, ÷, =

  3. COption (c)

    –, ÷, +, ×, =

  4. DOption (d)

    –, ×, +, ÷, =

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

×, –, +, ÷, =

Why this answer is correct

Given: 156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74

According to the question, after replacing the signs:

Option 1): +, ×, –, ÷, =

13 * 7 * 32 * 56 * 4 * 73 ⇒ 13 + 7 × 32 - 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 + 7 × 32 - 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 + 7 × 32 - 14 = 73

⇒ 13 + 224 - 14 = 73

⇒ 237 - 14 = 73

⇒ 223 ≠ 73 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2): ×, –, +, ÷, =

13 * 7 * 32 * 56 * 4 * 73 ⇒ 13 × 7 - 32 + 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 × 7 - 32 + 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 × 7 - 32 + 14 = 73

⇒ 91 + 14 - 32 = 73

⇒ 105 - 32 = 73

⇒ 73 = 73 (LHS = RHS)

Option  3): –, ÷, +, ×, =

13 * 7 * 32 * 56 * 4 * 73 ⇒ 13 - 7 ÷ 32 + 56 × 4 = 73

⇒ 13 - 7 ÷ 32 + 56 × 4 = 73

⇒ 13 - 0.21 + 56 × 4 = 73

⇒ 13 + 224 - 0.21 = 73

⇒ 237 - 0.21 = 73

⇒ 236.79 ≠ 73 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4): –, ×, +, ÷, =

13 * 7 * 32 * 56 * 4 * 73 ⇒ 13 - 7 × 32 + 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 - 7 × 32 + 56 ÷ 4 = 73

⇒ 13 - 7 × 32 + 14 = 73

⇒ 13 + 14 - 224 = 73

⇒ 27 - 224 = 73

⇒ 197 ≠ 73 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

    Only conclusion II follows.

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion I nor II follows. 

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion I follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusion II follows.

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

All Shirts are Cottons.

Some Shirts are Nets.

The least possible Venn diagram:

Conclusions:

I. All Nets are Shirts. - False (because Some Shirts are Nets. So, All nets are shirts it is not definite)

II. Some Nets are Cottons. - True (because All Shirts are Cottons and Some Shirts are Nets. So, Some Nets are Cottons it is definite) 

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion II follows."
