The logic followed is:

The statements talk about the lack of oxygen cylinders amidst the second wave of the deadly virus which led to the death of many people.

Therefore to immediately set up more factories to produce oxygen cylinders to tackle this situation is a right course of action.

So, the course of action I follow.

Secondly, alternate arrangement can be done from neighbouring country to full fill the sudden rise in demand is also a correct course of action.

So, the course of action II follow.

Just to banned the media reporters to show the actual number of deaths happening as it will create a panic situation in the country will not full-fill the oxygen demands in the country.

So, the course of action III doesn't follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only I and II follow".

According to the English alphabet series and its positional value:

The pattern followed here is:

And;

Similarly;

Hence, "MLRGXFWLIGMR" is the correct answer.

LOGIC: (First Number)² ÷ 4 = Second Number

In 14 : 49 →

14² ÷ 4

= 196 ÷ 4

= 49

Similarly;

196² ÷ 4

= 38416 ÷ 4

= 9604

Hence, "9604" is the correct answer.

Alternate Solution;

Logic - (First number ÷ 2)²

14 : 49 :: 196 : ?

14 : 49

(14 ÷ 2)² = 7² = 49

196 : ?

(196 ÷ 2)² = (98)² = 9604.

Hence, the correct answer is 9604.

Given:

i) Total number of students in a class = 60

ii) Arti's rank was 35th from the top

iii) Bandana's rank was 39^th from the bottom

To find number of students sitting between them.

When the condition is simple:

• To check for simple condition = Total > (Left rank + Right rank) or (Top + Bottom)
• Formula = Total - (Left rank + Right rank) or (Top + Bottom)

​When the condition is overlap:

• To check for overlap condition = Total < (Left rank + Right rank) or (Top + Bottom)
• Formula = [(Left rank + Right rank) or (Top + Bottom) - Total] - 2

​According to the question,

Total = 60

Top rank = 35^th

Bottom rank = 39^th

Top + bottom = 35 + 39

⇒ 74

as Total < 74, overlap condition will be formed.

Formula = [(Left rank + Right rank) or (Top + Bottom) - Total] - 2

⇒ (74 - 60) - 2

⇒ 14 - 2

⇒ 12.

Hence, the correct answer is "12".

1. Chandu and Dixit are not sitting together.

2. Binod is not sitting in third place.

According to the sequence in the dictionary:

The correct order of the given words is:

1. Legal 5. Legend  4. Legendary 2. Legible 3. Legitimate

Hence, the correct answer is "1, 5, 4, 2, 3".

Additional Information

1. First of all, check the common letter in all.
2. Arrange them according to the alphabet they come first. 
3. When common letters are arranged, then go for the rest.

Let the age of Shiva be x years.

According to the questions,

Kriti age = x - 8 years.

Given,

ratio of their ages is 5 : 3

⇒ x / (x - 8) = 5 / 3

⇒ 3x = 5(x - 8)

⇒ 3x = 5x - 40

⇒ 5x - 3x = 40

⇒ 2x = 40

⇒ x = 20

Thus the age of Shiva's is 20 years.

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "CGH".

The pattern followed is:

Option 1: JIH

Option 2: ONM

Option 3: TSR

Option 4: GED

Thus we can see GED is not following the common pattern of -1, -1

Hence, the correct answer is "GED".

Given: 'MIRROR is coded as 85'

Pattern: (The sum of the positional values of all the letters in a word) - 6.

MIRROR

MIRROR = 13 + 9 + 18 + 18 + 15 + 18 = 91 - 6 = 85

Similarly,

ALMIRA

ALMIRA = 1 + 12 + 13 + 9 + 18 + 1 = 54 - 6 = 48

Hence, the correct answer is "48".

The logic followed is:

Considering both the positions of the dice, '3 dots' in figure 2 and figure 3.

Moving in the clockwise direction in both the dice from '3 dots', the corresponding faces will be opposite each other.

Thus, the number opposite to '3' is '6'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Key Points

• Dices are of two types:

1. Standard Dice
2. Non-Standard Dice.

• Dice has:-

1. faces = 6
2. sides = 12
3. corners = 8

• Two opposite faces never seen together.
• Adjacent faces are never opposite to each other.​

When two positions of the same dice are given with one face as the common:

1. We take the common letter and move either in a Clockwise or Anti-clockwise direction.
2. The faces that come in this process are opposite each other in the same order.

According to the English alphabet series and its positional value:

The pattern followed here is:

1) 

2) 

3) 

4) 

Hence, option (4) is the correct answer.

The correct Venn diagram representation is:

Given:

The standard has two sections A and B

Concept:

The total number of students in standard = Student who passed + Student who failled

Calculation:

⇒ The total number of students in a standard = 50 + 36 + 58 + 39 + 74 + 45 + 80 + 45 = 427

∴ The required result will be 427.

Given:

The distance between the two cars is 45 km

The speed of the first car is 40 m/s and the second car is 50 m/s

Concept:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

⇒ When both cars running each other then relative speed = 40 + 50 = 90 m/s

⇒ Time taken to cover 45 km or 45000 m = 45000/90 = 500 seconds

∴ The required result will be 500 seconds.

Given:

20% students are aged 8 year

50% of remaining are aged 10 year

The remaining aged 15 year

The average age of teacher is 25 years

Concept:

Average = (Total sum of all items)/(Total number of items)

Calculation:

Let be assume the total number of students is 100

⇒ 20% student are aged 8 year total age of 20 students = 20 × 8 = 160

⇒ 50% of remaining students means = (100 - 20)/2 = 40

⇒ Total age of 40 students = 40 × 10 = 400

⇒ Total age of remaining students = 40 × 15 = 600

⇒ Average age of total students = (160 + 400 + 600)/100 = 1160/100 = 11.6

⇒ The required percentage = (11.6/25) × 100 = 11.6 × 4 = 46.40%

∴ The required result will be 46.40%.

Given:

A, B and C can complete a work in 30, 45 and 36 day respectively

Concept:

Work = Time × Efficiency

Calculation:

Let be assume C join for X days

⇒ The efficiency of A = 1/30

⇒ The efficiency of B = 1/45

⇒ The efficiency of C = 1/36

⇒ (X + 12)/30 + (X + 12)/45 + X/36 = 1

⇒ 6 × (X + 12) + 4 × (X + 12) + 5X = 180

⇒ 6X + 72 + 4X + 48 + 5X = 180

⇒ 15X = 180 - 120

⇒ 15X = 60

⇒ X = 60/15 = 4

∴ The required result will be 4 days.

Given:

The cost price of the car is 2.2 million

The cost of repairs is 200000

Concept:

Profit % = {(Selling price - Cost price)/Cost price} × 100

Calculation:

⇒ The total cost price of car = 2.2 + 200000/1000000 = 2.2 + 0.2 = 2.4 million

⇒ The selling price of car = 3 million

⇒ The gain % = {(3 - 2.4)/2.4} × 100 = (0.6/2.4) × 100 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%

∴ The required result will be 25%.

Given:

The length of the rectangular park is 200 m

The width of the rectangular park is 120 m

Concept:

The area of rectangular park = Length of the park × Width of the park

Calculation:

⇒ The total area of rectangular park = 200 × 120 = 24000 m²

⇒ The area of the cross road = (20 × 200) + (20 × 120) - (20 × 20)

⇒ The area of cross road = 4000 + 2400 - 400 = 6000

⇒ Total taken to cover 300 m² bricks = 1 day

⇒ Time taken to cover the total cross road = 6000/300 = 20 days

∴ The required result will be 20 days.

Given:

Bowler has conceded runs in 4 innings is 52, 24, 38, 66 respectively

Concept:

Average = (The sum of all items)/(The total number of items)

Calculation:

⇒ Present average of bowler = (52 + 24 + 38 + 66)/4 = 180/4

⇒ he has to maintain average between 40 to 45

⇒ if he concede 20 run in next inning then average = (180 + 20)/5 = 200/5 = 40  (which can not satisfied the condition)

⇒ If he concede 21 run in next inning the average = (180 + 21)/5 = 201/5 = 40.2 (Which can satisfied the condition)

⇒ Same way he can not concede 45 or more than 45 run in next inning to fulfil the condition

∴ The required result will be 20 < X < 45.

Given:

The total mixture of water and milk is 280 L

The ratio of milk and water in the mixture is 4 : 3

Concept:

If a mixture is divided into two-part a : b then, 

The first part = (a/a + b) of total mixture

The second part = (b/a + b) of total mixture

Calculation:

Let be assume X L of water is added in mixture

⇒ The milk in mixture = (4/7) × 280 = 160 L

⇒ The water in mixture = (3/7) × 280 = 120 L

⇒ 160/(120 + X) = 1/2

⇒ 320 = 120 + X

⇒ X = 320 - 120 = 200 L

∴ The required result will be 200L.

Given:

The HCF and LCM of two number is 16 and 32 respectively

Concept:

Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF (of two number)

Calculation:

Let be assume two number is A and B

⇒ A × B = 16 × 32 = 512 ......... (1)

⇒ A - B = 16 ....... (2)

⇒ By equation (1) and (2)

⇒ A - 512/A = 16

⇒ A² - 16A - 512 = 0

⇒ A = 32, -16

⇒ When we take positive value of A then value of B will be 16

⇒ The positive difference of their reciprocal = 1/16 - 1/32 = (2 - 1)/32 = 1/32 = 0.03125

∴ The required result will be 0.03125.

Given:

A : B : C = 2 : 4 : 7

Concept:

A : B : C = 2 : 4 : 7 then,

A = 2x, B = 4x and C = 7x    where x is the constant

Calculation:

Let be assume A, B and C is 2X and 4x and 7x respectively

⇒  A/B : B/C : C/A 

⇒ When we place the value of A, B and C

⇒ 2x/4x : 4x/7x : 7x/2x

⇒ (7 × 2x) : (4 × 4x) : (14 × 7x)

⇒ 14x : 16x : 98x

⇒ 7 : 8 : 49

∴ The required result will be 7 : 8 : 49.

Given:

The volume of the cone is 3234 cu cm

The height of the cone is 7 cm

Concept:

The volume of the cone = 1/3 × π × (Radius of the cone)² × (Height of the cone)

Calculation:

⇒ Let be assume the radius of the cone is R

⇒ 3234 = 1/3 × π × R² × 7

⇒ R² = (3234 × 7 × 3)/(7 × 22)

⇒ R² = 441

⇒ R = √441 = 21 cm

∴ The required result will be 21 cm.

Given:

The principle amount in 20 years at some rate by 600%

Concept:

Simple interest = (Principle × Rate × Time)/100

Compound interest = Principle × {(1 + Rate/100)^Time - 1}

The amount is the sum of principle and interest

Calculation:

Let be assume the principle is 100X then interest will be 500X and rate of interest is R and time will be 20 years

⇒ 500X = (100X × R × 20)/100

⇒ R = 25%

⇒ The compound interest at 25% per annum = (500000 × 5/4 × 5/4) - 500000 = 781250 - 500000 = 281250

∴ The required result will be 281250.

Given:

The success rate of scientists in 2015 is 71%

The success rate of scientists in 2016 is 58%

The success rate of scientists in 2017 is 57%

Concept:

Average = (The sum of the total number of items)/(The total number of items)

Calculation:

⇒ The failure rate in 2015 = 100 - 71 = 29%

⇒ The failure rate in 2016 = 100 - 58 = 42%

⇒ The failure rate in 2017 = 100 - 57 = 43%

⇒ The average failure rate = (29 + 42 + 43)/3 = 114/3 = 38%

∴ The required result will be 38%.

Given:

The area of the rectangle is 20 square cm

Concept:

Area of rectangle = Length of the rectangle × Breadth of the rectangle

Area of square = (Side)²

Calculation:

Let be assume the Breadth of the rectangle is X and the Length of the rectangle is 5X/4

⇒ X × 5X/4 = 20 , X = 4

⇒ The breadth of the rectangleX = 4 cm and the Length of the rectangle is 5 cm

⇒ There will be 4 squares at 4 corners of the rectangle 

⇒ The area of all squares = 4 × (Side)² = 4 × (1.5)² = 4 × 2.25 = 9 square cm

⇒ Uncarved area of rectangle = 20 - 9 = 11 cm²

⇒ Percentage of uncarved area of rectangle = (11/20) × 100 = 55%

∴ The required result will be 55%.

Given:

The sales in 2014 are 610

The sales in 2015 are 625

The sales in 2016 are 685

The sales in 2019 are 750

The sales in 2020 are 850

The sales in 2021 are 800

Concept:

Average = (The sum of total items)/(The total number of items)

Calculation:

⇒ The average sales in 2014 to 2016 = (610 + 625 + 685)/3 = 1920/3 = 640

⇒ The average sales in 2019 to 2021 = (750 + 850 + 800)/3 = 2400/3 = 800

⇒ How much % greater than = {(800 - 640)/640} × 100 = (160/640) × 100 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%

∴ The required result will be 25%.

Given:

Length and breadth increase by 100% and height is decreased by 70%

Concept:

The volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

Calculation:

Let be assume the length, breadth and height of the cuboid is L, B, and H

⇒ The volume of cuboid before the change = L × B × H = LBH

⇒ The volume of cuboid after the change = 2L × 2B × 0.3H = 1.2LBH

⇒ Percentage change in volume = {(1.2LBH - LBH)/LBH} × (100) = (0.2LBH/LBH) × 100 = 0.2 × 100 = 20% increase

∴ The required result will be 20% increase.

Given:

A train crosses a pole in 30 seconds

Concept:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Let be assume the length of the train is L

⇒ Speed of the train m/s = 120 × (5/18) = 20 × (5/3) = 100/3

⇒ Length of the train = (100/3) × 30 = 1000 m = 1 km

∴ The required result will be 1 km.

Given:

the biggest 4-digit number divisible by 12 is divided by 15

Concept:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

We know the biggest 4-digit number is 9999

But it should also be divisible by 12

Now once we divide 9999 by 12, we get:

9999 = 12 × 833 + 3

Now since 3 is the remainder when 9999 is divided by 12 it means that if we subtract 3 from 9999, we get a number perfectly divisible by 12

∴ 9999 - 3 = 9996 

So, the biggest 4-digit number divisible by 12 is 9996

Now using, 

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

9996 = 15 × 666 + 6

∴ Quotient = 666

Given:

The merchant gives a discount of 50% on the marked price

The marked price of the article is Rs. 300

Concept:

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Calculation:

Let be assume cost price of the article is X

⇒ The selling price of the article = X × (100 + 50)/100 = 150X/100 = 3X/2

⇒ The marked price of article = 300

⇒ The selling price of article after discount = 300 × (100 - 50)/100 = 300 × (50/100) = 300/2 = 150

⇒ 3X/2 = 150

⇒ X = 100

∴ The required result will be 100.

Given:

The sum is 60000

The amount is 67416

Concept:

Compound interest = Principle × {(1 + Rate/100)^Time - 1}

Calculation:

Let be assume the rate of interest is R and time will be 2 years because it is compounded half-yearly

⇒ 67416 = 60000 × (1 + R/100)²

⇒ 67416/60000 = (1 + R/100)²

⇒ 1.1236 = (1 + R/100)²

⇒ √1.1236 = 1 + R/100

⇒ 1.06 = (100 + R)/100

⇒ 106 = 100 + R

⇒ R = 106 - 100 = 6%

⇒ When compounded annually = 2 × 6 = 12%

∴ The required result will be 12%

• From above, we can refer that the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is 'Deforestation of the native flora.'

Key Points

• Let's refer to the following lines of the passage:
• Furthermore, while companies are usually vigilant about securing the rock formations, they seem less interested in restoring the native vegetation. MTR operations clear enormous tracts of forest; some experts estimate that over 2000 square miles of forests in the Appalachian region will have been razed by mining companies by 2012. Instead of replanting the native trees and shrubs that have been cleared, many companies opt to plant cheap, fast-growing, non-native plants, such as Lespedeza cuneata, which is officially classified by the USDA as an invasive weed.
• Thus, from above we can refer that the correct answer is option 2.

The correct answer is 'Appalachia mountain'.

• Let's refer to the following lines of the passage:
• MTR operations clear enormous tracts of forest; some experts estimate that over 2000 square miles of forests in the Appalachian region will have been razed by mining companies by 2012.
• The given statement is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense which suggests an action started in past, finished in past, and has a relation with the present.
• Example: This is the third time you have entered without permission.
• But, in the passage, it is suggested that by the action of MTR, Over 2000 square miles of forest will have been razed by 2012, which suggest it is predicting what will happen in the future if the current pace continues.
• Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

Additional Information

• Raze: completely destroy (a building, town, or other site).

The correct answer is '1.5 million acres of mountaintop from the mountain range removed'.

Key Points

• Let's refer to the following lines in the passage:
• Although the law requires that mining companies restore the mountaintops after the mining has been completed, the 1.5 million acres of mountains that have already been removed cannot be regrown, re-built, or replaced.
• Therefore, from above we can refer that the correct answer is option 2.
