Six letters L, M, N, O, P and Q are written on different faces of a dice. Two different positions of this dice are shown in the figure. Select the letter that will be on the face opposite to the one having O.
Q
N
P
L
Correct answer
L
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of 'O', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
From both dices, M and N are common. So, remaining surface will be opposite to each other.
So, L will be opposite to O.
Hence, the correct answer is "L".

× ÷ + − =
÷ + ×− =
÷ × + = −
÷ × + − =
Correct answer
÷ × + − =
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 16 * 4 * 20 * 82 * 14 * 148
Option 1) × ÷ + − =
By mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 16 × 4 ÷ 20 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 16 × 0.2 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 3.2 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 85.2 - 14 = 148
⇒ 71.2 ≠ 148
Option 2) ÷ + ×− =
By mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 16 ÷ 4 + 20 × 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 4 + 20 × 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 4 + 1640 - 14 = 148
⇒ 1644 - 14 = 148
⇒ 1630 ≠ 148
Option 3) ÷ × + = −
By mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 16 ÷ 4 × 20 + 82 = 14 - 148
⇒ 4 × 20 + 82 = -134
⇒ 80 + 82 = -134
⇒ 162 ≠ -134
Option 4) ÷ × + − =
By mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 16 ÷ 4 × 20 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 4 × 20 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 80 + 82 - 14 = 148
⇒ 162 - 14 = 148
⇒ 148 = 148
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:
All pens are laptops.
All laptops are computers.
Conclusions:
I. All pens are computers.
II. All laptops are pens.
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Both conclusions I and II follow
Correct answer
Only conclusion I follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
All pens are laptops.
All laptops are computers.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. All pens are computers. - True (because All pens are laptops and All laptops are computers. So, All pens are computers too)
II. All laptops are pens. - False (because All pens are laptops. So, All laptops are pens it can be possible but not definite)
Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".
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.)
(63, 9, 36)
(105, 15, 60)
(133, 17, 74)
(129, 19, 74)
(129, 17, 76)
(133, 19, 76)
Correct answer
(133, 19, 76)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: 2nd number × 7 = 1st number; 2nd number × 4 = 3rd number.
Now,
For (63, 9, 36):
⇒ 9 × 7 = 63
⇒ 9 × 4 = 36
For (105, 15, 60):
⇒ 15 × 7 = 105
⇒ 15 × 4 = 60
Similarly, For (133, 19, 76):
⇒ 19 × 7 = 133
⇒ 19 × 4 = 76
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

2
5
4
1
Correct answer
5
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of '3', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 3,
From both dices, 2 and 1 are common. So, remaining surface will be opposite to each other.
So, '5' will be the opposite face of '3'.
Hence, the correct answer is "5"
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) in the following series to continue the pattern?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
From figure 1 to 2 and figure 3 to 4:
Top-right corner, top-left corner, left-middle and right-middle element (all 4 elements) are interchanging their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Top-middle both element are interchanging and bottom-middle and middle element are interchanging their position with each other.
From figure 2 to 3 and figure 4 to 5:
All 3 horizontally middle symbols are shifting their position in clockwise direction.
All top 4 symbols are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Bottom-middle symbol is replaced by a new symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

If ‘A’ denotes ‘+’, ‘B’ denotes ‘×’, ‘C’ denotes ‘−’ and ‘D’ denotes ‘÷’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
80 C 4 B 5 A 20 = ?
20
80
40
120
Correct answer
80
Why this answer is correct
Given Equation: 80 C 4 B 5 A 20 = ?
BODMAS Rule:
Decoding the given information:
| Alphabet | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | + | × | - | ÷ |
Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:
⇒ 80 - 4 × 5 + 20 = ?
⇒ 80 - 20 + 20 = ?
⇒ 100 - 20 = 80.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".
