Answer: (a)A.

24

Why this answer is correct

For find the opposite surface of '21', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,

So, From Dice 2 and Dice 3,

From both dices, 23 and 26 are common. So, remaining surface will be opposite to each other.

So, 24 will be opposite to 21.

Hence, the correct answer is "24".

(

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)

  4. DOption (d)

    (7, 42, 5)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(6, 32, 2) 

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is: 

Logic: (1st number + 2) × (3rd number + 2) = 2nd number.

Now,

For (4, 42, 5):

⇒ (4 + 2) × (5 + 2)

= 6 × 7 = 42.

For (3, 45, 7)

⇒ (3 + 2) × (7 + 2)

= 5 × 9 = 45.

Similarly, for Option 2: (6, 32, 2)

⇒ (6 + 2) × (2 + 2)

= 8 × 4 = 32.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

4

Why this answer is correct

For find the opposite surface of '2', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,

So, From Dice 2 and Dice 3,

From both dices, 4 is common and on the same surface. So, all remaining surface will be opposite to each other.

1 is opposite to 3.

6 is opposite to 5.

So, 4 will be opposite to 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "4".

⇒ 883.27 - 2 = 10

⇒ 881.27 ≠ 10

Option 2) + and ÷

By interchanging which two signs:

⇒ 29 - 23 ÷ 42 × 21 + 2 = 10

⇒ 29 - 11.5 + 2 = 10

⇒ 31 - 11.5 = 10

⇒ 19.5 ≠ 10

Option 3) − and ×

By interchanging which two signs:

⇒ 29 × 23 + 42 - 21 ÷ 2 = 10

⇒ 29 × 23 + 42 - 10.5 = 10

⇒ 667 + 42 - 10.5 = 10

⇒ 709 - 10.5 = 10

⇒ 698.5 ≠ 10

Option 4) ÷ and ×

By interchanging which two signs:

⇒ 29 - 23 + 42 ÷ 21 × 2 = 10

⇒ 29 - 23 + 2 × 2 = 10

⇒ 29 - 23 + 4 = 10

⇒ 33 - 23 = 10

⇒ 10 = 10

Hence, the correct answer is "÷ and ×".

  4. DOption (d)

    78

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

76

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

First row - 56, 16, 60

56 ÷ 2 + 16 x 2 = 60

28 + 16 x 2 = 60

28 + 32 = 60

60 = 60 (LHS = RHS)

And,

Second row - 64, 18, 68

64 ÷ 2 + 18 x 2 = 68

32 + 18 x 2 = 68

32 + 36 = 68

68 = 68 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly,

Third row - 72, 20, ?

72 ÷ 2 + 20 x 2 = ?

36 + 20 x 2 = ?

36 + 40 = ?

76 = ?

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
