Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

5

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

From the given three different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As 6 is common on both the dices 1 and 2, it is clear that 4, 2, 5, and 3 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. 1 will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

2 → 3

4 → 5

6 → 1

So, the opposite side of "4" will be side "5".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 882

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

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.)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(51, 17, 102) 

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is: 

Logic: 2nd number × 3 = 1st number,

2nd number × 6 = 3rd number.

Now,

For (33, 11, 66):

⇒ 11 × 3 = 33

11 × 6 = 66

For (45, 15, 90)

⇒ 15 × 3 = 45

15 × 6 = 90

Similarly, for Option 3: (51, 17, 102)

⇒ 17 × 3 = 51

17 × 6 = 102

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

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

As 3 is common on both the dices, it is clear that 1, 2, 4, and 6 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. 5 will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

2 → 4

1 → 6

3 → 5

So, the opposite side of "5" will be side "3".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

–, ×, +, ÷, =

Why this answer is correct

Given : 72 * 5 * 7 * 64 * 8 * 45 

According to the question, after replacing the signs :

Option 1) +, ×, –, ÷, =

72 * 5 * 7 * 64 * 8 * 45 ⇒ 72 + 5 × 7 - 64 ÷ 8 = 45

⇒ 72 + 5 × 7 - 64 ÷ 8 = 45

⇒ 72 + 5 × 7 - 8 = 45

⇒ 72 + 35 - 8 = 45

⇒ 107 - 8 = 45

⇒ 99 ≠ 45 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) ÷, +, ×, –, =

72 * 5 * 7 * 64 * 8 * 45 ⇒ 72 ÷ 5 + 7 × 64 - 8 = 45

⇒ 72 ÷ 5 + 7 × 64 - 8 = 45

⇒ 14.4 + 7 × 64 - 8 = 45

⇒ 14.4 + 448 - 8 = 45

⇒ 462.4 - 8 = 45

⇒454.4 ≠ 45 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  3) –, ÷, +, ×, =

72 * 5 * 7 * 64 * 8 * 45 ⇒ 72 - 5 ÷ 7 + 64 × 8 = 45

⇒ 72 - 5 ÷ 7 + 64 × 8 = 45

⇒ 72 - 0.71 + 64 × 8 = 45

⇒ 72 + 512 - 0.71 = 45

⇒ 584 - 0.71 = 45

⇒ 583.29 ≠ 45 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4) –, ×, +, ÷, =

72 * 5 * 7 * 64 * 8 * 45 ⇒ 72 - 5 × 7 + 64 ÷ 8 = 45

⇒ 72 - 5 × 7 + 64 ÷ 8 = 45

⇒ 72 - 5 × 7 + 8 = 45

⇒ 72 + 8 - 35 = 45

⇒ 80 - 35 = 45

⇒ 45 = 45 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

According to the question, after replacing the signs :

Option 1) –, ÷, +, ×, = 

96 * 12 * 15 * 7 * 36 * 77 ⇒ 96 - 12 ÷ 15 + 7 × 36 = 77

⇒ 96 - 12 ÷ 15 + 7 × 36 = 77

⇒ 96 - 0.8 + 7 × 36 = 77

⇒ 96 + 252 - 0.8 = 77

⇒ 348 - 0.8 = 77

⇒ 347.2 ≠ 77 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) –, ×, +, ÷, =

96 * 12 * 15 * 7 * 36 * 77 ⇒ 96 - 12 × 15 + 7 ÷ 36 = 77

⇒ 96 - 12 × 15 + 7 ÷ 36 = 77

⇒ 96 - 12 × 15 + 0.19 = 77

⇒ 96 + 0.19 - 180 = 77

⇒ 96 + 12 × 15 - 7 ÷ 36 = 77

⇒ 96 + 12 × 15 - 0.19 = 77

⇒ 96 + 180 - 0.19 = 77

⇒ 276 - 0.19 = 77
