Question 782

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

98 – 49 ÷ 7 + 74 × 55 = 3

  1. AOption (a)

    = and + 

  2. BOption (b)

    = and ÷

  3. COption (c)

    = and ×

  4. DOption (d)

    = and −

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

= and ×

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 98 – 49 ÷ 7 + 74 × 55 = 3

Option 1) = and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 98 – 49 ÷ 7 = 74 × 55 + 3

⇒ 98 – 7 = 4070 + 3

⇒ 91 = 4073

Option 2) = and ÷

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 98 – 49 = 7 + 74 × 55  ÷ 3

⇒ 98 – 49 = 7 + 74 × 18.33

⇒ 49 = 7 + 1356.42

⇒ 49 = 1363.42

Option 3) = and ×

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 98 – 49 ÷ 7 + 74 = 55 × 3

⇒ 98 – 7 + 74 = 165

⇒ 172 – 7 = 165

⇒ 165 = 165

Option 4) = and -

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 98 = 49 ÷ 7 + 74 × 55 - 3

⇒ 98 = 7 + 74 × 55 - 3

⇒ 98 = 7 + 4070 - 3

⇒ 98 = 4077 - 3

⇒ 98 = 4074

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

Question 789

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

(59, 236, 175),(24, 124, 98)

(

NOTE:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

  1. AOption (a)

    (22, 183, 159)

  2. BOption (b)

    (21, 124, 108)

  3. COption (c)

    (64, 182, 116)

  4. DOption (d)

    (16, 206, 188) 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(21, 124, 108)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is: (1st number + 3rd number) + 2 = 2nd number.

(59, 236, 175) → (59 + 175) + 2 = 234 + 2 = 236 (2nd number)

(24, 124, 98) → (24 + 98) + 2 = 122 + 2 = 124 (2nd number)

Option 1) (22, 183, 159) → (22 + 159) + 2 = 181 + 2 = 183

Option 2) (21, 124, 108) → (21 + 108) + 2 = 129 + 2 = 131 ≠ 124

Option 3) (64, 182, 116) → (64 + 116) + 2 = 180 + 2 = 182

Option 4) (16, 206, 188) → (16 + 188) + 2 = 204 + 2 = 206

So, the numbers (21, 124, 108) are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

Hence, the correct answer is "(21, 124, 108)".

×, – , + , ÷ , =

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 11 * 12 * 70 * 175 * 5 * 97

Option 1) ×, + , – , ÷ , =

By replacing the * signs:

⇒ 11 × 12 + 70 - 175 ÷ 5 = 97

⇒ 11 × 12 + 70 - 35 = 97

⇒ 167 = 97

Option 2) ×, – , + , ÷ , =

By replacing the * signs:

⇒ 11 × 12 - 70 + 175 ÷ 5 = 97

⇒ 132 - 70 + 35 = 97

⇒ 167 - 70 = 97

⇒ 97 = 97

Option 3) + , ×, –, ÷ , =

By replacing the * signs:

⇒ 11 + 12 × 70 - 175 ÷ 5 = 97

⇒ 11 + 12 × 70 - 35 = 97

⇒ 11 + 840 - 35 = 97

⇒ 851 - 35 = 97

⇒ 816 = 97

Option 4) ×, – , + , = , ÷

By replacing the * signs:

⇒ 11 × 12 - 70 + 175  = 5 ÷ 97

⇒ 132 - 70 + 175  = 0.05

⇒ 307 - 70  = 0.05

⇒ 237  = 0.05

Hence, the correct answer is "×, – , + , ÷ , =".

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1st number)2 × 3) + 7 = 2nd number.

Now,

For, 8 : 199

⇒ (82 × 3) + 7 = (64 × 3) + 7 = 192 + 7 = 199.

For, 5 : 82

⇒ (52 × 3) + 7 = (25 × 3) + 7 = 75 + 7 = 82.

Similarly, for 12 ∶ 439

⇒ (122 × 3) + 7 = (144 × 3) + 7 = 432 + 7 = 439.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
