Give solution in the given format and use HTML code only and use the Logic: (2^nd number + 3^rd number) × 4 = 1^st number.

The logic followed here is: 

Logic: (1^st number + 2^nd number) × 1.5 = 3^rd number.

Now,

For (12, 26, 57)

⇒ (12 + 26) × 1.5

= 38 × 1.5 = 57.

For (13, 27, 60) 

⇒ (13 + 27) × 1.5

= 40 × 1.5 = 60.

Similarly, for Option 3: (19, 25, 66)

⇒ (19 + 25) × 1.5

= 44 × 1.5 = 66.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

‘NATION’ is written as ‘RZLRQM’ 

And,

'MARINE' is written as 'SZNRRV'

Similarly,

‘ADVICE’ is written as

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is :-

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

As L is common on both the dices II and III, it is clear that H, K, J, and G are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. I will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

H → G

K → J

L → I

So, the opposite side of "L" will be side "I".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The figure which when put in place of '?' will logically complete the pattern is shown below:

Thus, option Figure 3 will logically complete the pattern given.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic follows here:

1^st number = (Any number)² + 1

2^nd number = (Any number + 1)² - 1

Given:

(50, 63)

1^st number = (7)2 + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50

2^nd number = (7 + 1)2 - 1 = 82 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63

And,

(101, 120) 

1^st number = (10)2 + 1 = 100 + 1 = 101

2^nd number = (10 + 1)2 - 1 = 112 - 1 = 121 - 1 = 120

Similarly, Option (2): (145, 168)

1^st number = (12)2 + 1 = 144 + 1 = 145

2^nd number = (12 + 1)2 - 1 = 132 - 1 = 169 - 1 = 168

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The figure that will look like the paper when unfolded is shown below:

Thus, option Figure 2 will look like the paper when unfolded.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. First box series →

2. Second box series → 

The right diagonal elements shift anticlockwise in the upward direction.

The first two element of the left left diagonal elements interchange positions.

The last two element of the left left diagonal elements interchange positions.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given : 73 * 12 * 5 * 2 * 39 * 64

According to the question, after replacing the signs:

Option 1) ÷, +, ×, –, =

73 * 12 * 5 * 2 * 39 * 64 ⇒ 73 ÷ 12 + 5 × 2 - 39 = 64

⇒ 73 ÷ 12 + 5 × 2 - 39 = 64

⇒ 6.08 + 5 × 2 - 39 = 64

⇒ 6.08 + 10 - 39 = 64

⇒ 16.08 - 39 = 64

⇒ -22.92 ≠ 64 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) ×, +, –, ÷, =

73 * 12 * 5 * 2 * 39 * 64 ⇒ 73 × 12 + 5 - 2 ÷ 39 = 64

⇒ 73 × 12 + 5 - 2 ÷ 39 = 64

⇒ 73 × 12 + 5 - 0.05 = 64

⇒ 876 + 5 - 0.05 = 64

⇒ 881 - 0.05 = 64

⇒ 880.95 ≠ 64 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) +, ×, ÷, –, =

73 * 12 * 5 * 2 * 39 * 64 ⇒ 73 + 12 × 5 ÷ 2 - 39 = 64

⇒ 73 + 12 × 5 ÷ 2 - 39 = 64

⇒ 73 + 12 × 2.5 - 39 = 64

⇒ 73 + 30 - 39 = 64

⇒ 103 - 39 = 64

⇒ 64 = 64 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) +, –, ×, ÷, =

73 * 12 * 5 * 2 * 39 * 64 ⇒ 73 + 12 - 5 × 2 ÷ 39 = 64

⇒ 73 + 12 - 5 × 2 ÷ 39 = 64

⇒ 73 + 12 - 5 × 0.05 = 64

⇒ 73 + 12 - 0.25 = 64

⇒ 85 - 0.25 = 64

⇒ 84.36 ≠ 64 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number)³ = 2^nd number.

Now,

For, 9 : 729

⇒ (9³) = 729

For, 4 : 64

⇒ (4³) = 64

Similarly, for 11 : ?

⇒ (11³) = 1331

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is :-

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

As 25 is common on both the dices I and III, it is clear that 21, 23, 24, and 22 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. 26 will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

23 → 24

21 → 22

25 → 26

So, the opposite side of "25" will be side "26".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

1. All the element shift anticlockwise subsequently.

2. For '

' element → Alternately shaded and is rotated 90º anticlockwise.

3) For '

' element → Alternately shaded.

4) For '

' element → Alternately shaded the inner section.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The number of triangles in the given figure are shown below:

1. Number of triangles = [Number of parts × (1 + Number of parts)] ÷ 2

= [4 × (1 + 4)] ÷ 2

= [4 × 5] ÷ 2

= 20 ÷ 2

= 10

2) Number of triangles = [Number of parts × (1 + Number of parts)] ÷ 2

= [3 × (1 + 3)] ÷ 2

= [3 × 4] ÷ 2

= 12 ÷ 2

= 6

3) Number of triangles = 3

Thus, there are a total of (10 + 6 + 3) = 19 triangles in the given figure.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
