Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

P

Why this answer is correct

Given: O, P, Q, R, W and X are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. 

1) W sits second to the left of R.

  1. Q sits to the immediate left of W.

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

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

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

Opposite pairs:

2 → 5

4 → 6

1 → 4

So, the opposite side of "6" will be side "4".

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

– , ÷ , ×, + , =

Why this answer is correct

Given: 36 * 16 * 4 * 20 * 90 * 46

According to the question, after replacing the signs:

Option 1) ×, ÷ , + , – , = 

36 * 16 * 4 * 20 * 90 * 46 ⇒ 36 × 16 ÷ 4 + 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 36 × 16 ÷ 4 + 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 36 × 4 + 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 144 + 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 164 - 90 = 46

⇒ 74 ≠ 46 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) + , ÷ ,×, – , =

36 * 16 * 4 * 20 * 90 * 46 ⇒ 36 + 16 ÷ 4 × 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 36 + 16 ÷ 4 × 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 36 + 4 × 20 - 90 = 46

⇒ 36 + 80 - 90 = 46

⇒ 116 - 90 = 46

⇒ 26 ≠ 46 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  3) – , ÷ , + , ×, =

36 * 16 * 4 * 20 * 90 * 46 ⇒ 36 - 16 ÷ 4 + 20 × 90 = 46

⇒ 36 - 16 ÷ 4 + 20 × 90 = 46

⇒ 36 - 4 + 20 × 90 = 46

⇒ 36 + 1800 - 4 = 46

⇒ 1836 - 4 = 46

⇒ 1832 ≠ 46 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4) – , ÷ , ×, + , =

36 * 16 * 4 * 20 * 90 * 46 ⇒ 36 - 16 ÷ 4 × 20 + 90 = 46

⇒ 36 - 16 ÷ 4 × 20 + 90 = 46

⇒ 36 - 4 × 20 + 90 = 46

⇒ 36 + 90 - 80 = 46

⇒ 126 - 80 = 46

⇒ 46 = 46 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

How many triangles are there in the given figure?

  1. AOption (a)

    10

  2. BOption (b)

    16

  3. COption (c)

    12

  4. DOption (d)

    8

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

16

Why this answer is correct

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

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

= [2 × (1 + 2)] ÷ 2

= [2 × 3] ÷ 2

= 6 ÷ 2

= 3

As there are 3 same types of triangles, therefore total number of triangles will be (3 × 4) = 12 

2) Number of triangles = 4

Thus, there are a total of (12 + 4) = 16 triangles.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The center element is replaced by new element.

The rest of the elements shift clockwise subsequently.

  1. Second box series → 

The 2nd column elements shift anticlockwise in the downward direction subsequently.

The 1st column elements shift to the 3rd column diagonally.

The 3rd column elements shift to the 1st column at the same position.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
