Now, putting the letters in the blank spaces given in the option one by one:

Option 1) WRCEETRT → C W E R T / C W E R T / C W E R T / C W E R T

Here, 'C W E R T' is the pattern.

Option 2) WRCERTRT → C W E R T / C W E R T / C W R R T / C W E R T 

Option 3) WRCERERT → C W E R T / C W E R T / C W R R E / C W E R T

Question 1003

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

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

14 × 2 ÷ 9 - 5 + 18 = 76

  1. AOption (a)

    ÷ and ×

  2. BOption (b)

    ÷ and +

  3. COption (c)

    − and +

  4. DOption (d)

    − and ×

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

÷ and ×

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 14 × 2 ÷ 9 - 5 + 18 = 76

Option 1) ÷ and ×

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 14 ÷ 2 × 9 - 5 + 18 = 76

⇒ 7 × 9 - 5 + 18 = 76

⇒ 63 - 5 + 18 = 76

⇒ 81 - 5 = 76

⇒ 76 = 76

Option 2) ÷ and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 14 × 2 + 9 - 5 ÷ 18 = 76

⇒ 14 × 2 + 9 - 0.2 = 76

⇒ 28 + 9 - 0.2 = 76

⇒ 37 - 0.2 = 76

⇒ 36.8 ≠ 76

Option 3) - and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 14 × 2 ÷ 9 + 5 - 18 = 76

⇒ 14 × 0.22 + 5 - 18 = 76

⇒ 3.08 + 5 - 18 = 76

⇒ 8.08 - 18 = 76

⇒ -14.92 ≠ 76

Option 4) − and ×

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 14 - 2 ÷ 9 × 5 + 18 = 76

⇒ 14 - 0.22 × 5 + 18 = 76

⇒ 14 - 1.1 + 18 = 76

⇒ 32 - 1.1 = 76

⇒ 30.9 ≠ 76

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

    (6, 11, 99)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

(6, 11, 99)

Why this answer is correct

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

(7, 16, 168) → (16 / 2) x 7 x 3 = 8 x 21 = 168

(3, 28, 126) → (28 / 2) x 3 x 3 = 14 x 9 = 126

Lets check the options:

  1. (9, 17, 153) → (17 / 2) x 9 x 3 = 8.5 x x 27 = 229.5 2. (8, 7, 136) → (7 / 2) x 8 x 3 = 3.5 x 24 = 84 3. (11, 18, 396) → (18 / 2) x 11 x 3 = 9 x 33 = 297

4. (6, 11, 99) → (11 / 2) x 6 x 3 = 11 x 9 = 99

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

× + × − ÷ =

Why this answer is correct

Given : 8 * 1 * 4 * 2 * 16 * 2 * 8

According to the question, after replacing the signs:

Option 1) = × + × ÷ −

8 * 1 * 4 * 2 * 16 * 2 * 8 ⇒ 8 = 1 × 4 + 2 × 16 ÷ 2 - 8

⇒ 8 = 1 × 4 + 2 × 16 ÷ 2 - 8

⇒ 8 = 1 × 4 + 2 × 8 - 8

⇒ 8 = 4 + 16 - 8

⇒ 8 = 20 - 8

⇒ 8 ≠ 12 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) + − ÷ × × =

8 * 1 * 4 * 2 * 16 * 2 * 8 ⇒ 8 + 1 - 4 ÷ 2 × 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 8 + 1 - 4 ÷ 2 × 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 8 + 1 - 2 × 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 8 + 1 - 64 = 8

⇒ 9 - 64 = 8

⇒-55 ≠ 8 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) × + × − ÷ =

8 * 1 * 4 * 2 * 16 * 2 * 8 ⇒ 8 × 1 + 4 × 2 - 16 ÷ 2 = 8

⇒ 8 × 1 + 4 × 2 - 16 ÷ 2 = 8

⇒ 8 × 1 + 4 × 2 - 8 = 8

⇒ 8 + 8 - 8 = 8

⇒ 16 - 8 = 8

⇒ 8 = 8 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) ÷ × − + × =

8 * 1 * 4 * 2 * 16 * 2 * 8 ⇒ 8 ÷ 1 × 4 - 2 + 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 8 ÷ 1 × 4 - 2 + 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 8 × 4 - 2 + 16 × 2 = 8

⇒ 32 + 32 - 2 = 8

⇒ 64 - 2 = 8

⇒ 62 ≠ 8 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
