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

So, P will be opposite to M.

Hence, the correct answer is "P".

    +, –, ×, ÷, =

  4. DOption (d)

    +, ×, –, ÷, =

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

+, ×, –, ÷, =

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 23 * 9 * 13 * 96 * 2 * 92

Option 1) ×, +, –, ÷, =

Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs:

⇒ 23 × 9 + 13 - 96 ÷ 2 = 92

⇒ 23 × 9 + 13 - 48 = 92

⇒ 207 + 13 - 48 = 92

⇒ 200 - 48 = 92

⇒ 152 ≠ 92

Option 2) ÷, +, ×, –, =

Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs:

⇒ 23 ÷ 9 + 13 × 96 - 2 = 92

⇒ 2.5 + 13 × 96 - 2 = 92

⇒ 2.5 + 1248 - 2 = 92

⇒ 1250.5 - 2 = 92

⇒ 1248.5 ≠ 92

Option 3) +, –, ×, ÷, =

Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs:

⇒ 23 + 9 - 13 × 96 ÷ 2 = 92

⇒ 23 + 9 - 13 × 48 = 92

⇒ 23 + 9 - 624 = 92

⇒ 32 - 624 = 92

⇒ -592 ≠ 92

Option 4) +, ×, –, ÷, =

Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs:

⇒ 23 + 9 × 13 - 96 ÷ 2 = 92

⇒ 23 + 9 × 13 - 48 = 92

⇒ 23 + 117 - 48 = 92

⇒ 140 - 48 = 92

⇒ 92 = 92

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

Only Conclusion II follows. 

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

All computers are machines.

Some computers are robots.

The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. All robots are computers. - False (because Some computers are robots given. So, it can be possible but not definite)

II. Some machines are robots. - True (because All computers are machines and Some computers are robots. So, Some machines are robots too)

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

  1. AOption (a)

    ÷ and +

  2. BOption (b)

  3. COption (c)

    = and ÷

  4. DOption (d)

    − and × 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

= and ÷

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 87 + 85 − 25 × 3 ÷ 291 = 3

Option 1) ÷ and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 87 ÷ 85 − 25 × 3 + 291 = 3

⇒ 1.02 − 25 × 3 + 291 = 3

⇒ 1.02 − 75 + 291 = 3

⇒ 292.02 − 75 = 3

⇒ 217.02 ≠ 3

Option 2) + and −

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 87 - 85 + 25 × 3 ÷ 291 = 3

⇒ 87 - 85 + 25 × 0.01 = 3

⇒ 87 - 85 + 0.25 = 3

⇒ 87.25 - 85 = 3

⇒ 2.25 ≠ 3

Option 3) = and ÷

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 87 + 85 − 25 × 3 = 291 ÷ 3

⇒ 87 + 85 − 75 = 97

⇒ 172 − 75 = 97

​⇒ 97 = 97

Option 4) − and × 

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 87 + 85 × 25 - 3 ÷ 291 = 3

⇒ 87 + 85 × 25 - 0.01 = 3

⇒ 87 + 2125 - 0.01 = 3

⇒ 2212 - 0.01 = 3

⇒ 2211.99 ≠ 3

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