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".

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 35^th 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".

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:

40% of X is equal to Y

Concept:

Percentage of gain mark = {(Total gain marks)/(Total number of marks)} × 100

Calculation:

⇒ Y = (40/100) × X = 2X/5

⇒ Y% of 40 = (Y/100) × 40 = {(2X/5)/100} × 40 = (2X/500) × 40 = (80/500) × X = (16/100) × X = 16% of X

∴ The required result will be 16% of X.

Given:

The ratio of expenses of A and B is 9 : 10 respectively

After the increase of their expenses by 9000 then ratio became 12 : 13

Concept:

If a : b in ratio then ax and bx is the original value of a and b where x is constant

Calculation:

⇒ Let be assume the expenditure of A and B is 9x and 10x respectively

⇒ (9x + 9000)/(10x + 9000) = 12/13

⇒ 117x + 117000 = 120x + 108000

⇒ 120x - 117x = 117000 - 108000

⇒ 3x = 9000

⇒ x = 3000

⇒ The orinal expenses of A = 9x = 9 × 3000 = 27000

∴ The required result will be 27000.

Given:

100 natural number

Concept:

From 1 to 10 two number has unit digit 1 and 5

Calculation:

⇒ From 1 to 10 two number has unit digit 1 and 5 = 2

⇒ From 11 to 20 two number has unit digit 1 and 5 (11 and 15) = 2

⇒ Till 100 we will get total 20 number wich has unit digit 1 and 5

⇒ The percentage of such digit = (20/100) × 100 = 20%

Given:

A can finish a work in 75 days

B can finish the same work in 150

C can finish the same work in 125 days

Concept:

Work = Time × Efficiency

Calculation:

⇒ The efficiency of A = 1/75

⇒ The efficiency of B = 1/150

⇒ The efficiency of C = 1/125

⇒ The A and B can complete the work in 30 days = (30/75 + 30/150) = 30 × (2 + 1)/(150) = 30 × (3/150) = 3/5

⇒ The remaining work = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

⇒ The C can complete the remaining work in = (2/5)/(1/125) = (2 × 125)/5 = 2 × 25 = 50 days

∴ The required result will be 50 days.

Given:

The value of raw material in 2020 is 6900

The value of finished material in 2016 is 6700

The value of finished material in 2017 is 2100

The value of finished material in 2018 is 2800

The value of finished material in 2019 is 6000

The value of finished material in 2020 is 8400

Concept:

The average = (Sum of all items value)/(Total number of items)

Calculation:

⇒ The average value of raw materials = (4800 + 1800 + 2100 + 3900 + 6900)/5 = 19500/5 = 3900

⇒ The average value of finished material = (6700 + 2100 + 2800 + 6000 + 8400)/5 = 26000/5 = 5200

⇒ The average finished mterial grater than raw material = 5200 - 3900 = 1300

⇒ The required % = (1300/3900) × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

∴ The required result will be 33.33%.

Given:

X bought 50 dozens of pens for Rs. 900

X sold a box of 10 for Rs. 20 per box

Concept:

Total expenditure = Price per unit × Total number of unit

Calculation:

⇒ A dozen has 12 pen

⇒ Total number of pen = 50 dozen = 12 × 50 = 600

⇒ The cost price of pen per unit = 900/600 = 3/2

⇒ The cost price of 10 pen = (3/2) × 10 = 15 rupee

⇒ The selling price of 10 pen = 20 rupees

⇒ The profit % = {(Seling price - Cost price)/(Cost price)} × 100

⇒ The profit % = {(20 - 15)/15} × 100 = (5/15) × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

∴ The required result will be 33.33%.

Given:

The loan amount is 15000

The rate and time is equal to each other

Concept:

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

Calculation:

Let be assume the rate and time is K

⇒ 18150 = (15000 × K × K)/100

⇒ K² = (18150 × 100)/15000

⇒ K² = 121

⇒ K = 11

∴ The required result will be 11%.

Given:

The total number of people to rescue is 960

The first helicopter has the capacity of 48 seats

The second helicopter has the capacity of 60 seats

The third helicopter has the capacity of 72 seats

The first helicopter did 5 round

The second helicopter did 6 round

Concept:

Total number of people rescued by a helicopter = (The capacity of the helicopter) × (Total number of rounds)

Calculation:

⇒ The firs helicapter rescued people = 48 × 5 = 240

⇒ The seconds helicopter rescued people = 60 × 6 = 360

⇒ The total number of people rescued = 240 + 360 = 600

⇒ The remaining people to rescued = 960 - 600 = 360 

⇒ The third helicapter will take rounds to rescue remaining people = 360/72 = 5

∴ The required result will be 5 rounds.

Given:

X/Y = 4/5 and 5X + 8Y = 240

When X/Y = K, then X = YK

Where K is constant and X, and Y is variable

Calculation:

⇒ X/Y = 4/5, then

⇒ Y = 5X/4      ----(1)  

⇒ 5X + 8Y = 240       ----(2)

⇒ By equation (1) and (2)

⇒ 5X + 8 × (5X/4) = 240

⇒ 5X + 10X = 240

⇒ 15X = 240

⇒ X = 16

∴ The required result will be 16.

Given:

The total number of enrolled students is 800

The success rate of students from P is 80% 

The success rate of students from Q is 90% 

The success rate of students from R is 90% 

The success rate of students from S is 100% 

Concept:

Percentage of gain marks = {(Total gain marks)/(Total number of marks)} × 100

Calculation:

⇒ Total enrolled student in P = (30/100) × 800 = 240

⇒ Total enrolled student in Q = (20/100) × 800 = 160

⇒ Total enrolled student in R = (35/100) × 800 = 280

⇒ Total enrolled students in S = (15/100) × 800 = 120

⇒ Total success students from P = 240 × (80/100) = 192

⇒ Total success students from Q = 160 × (90/100) = 144

⇒ Total success students from R = 280 × (90/100) = 252

⇒ Total success students from S = 120 × (100/100) = 120

⇒ The total success students = 192 + 144 + 252 + 120 = 708

∴ The required result will be 708.

Given:

The joggers take 120, 144, and 180 seconds respectively to complete 1 round of a park

Concept:

When three people A, B, and C running in the same direction on a circular track then the time taken to meet the first time at starting point = LCM of (Time taken by A, B, and C respectively)

Calculation:

⇒ Let be assume three joggers were A, B, and C respectively

⇒ Time is taken by three joggers to meet at starting point = LCM of (120, 144, 180) = 720 seconds = 720/60 = 12 minutes

⇒ They start at 12 : 00 PM then they will meet at starting point = 12 hours + 12 minutes = 12 : 12 PM

∴ The required result will be 12 : 12 PM.

Given:

The car X is 50% faster than car Y

The car Y is 50% faster than car Z

The car Z can cover 200 km in 2.5 hours

Concept:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

⇒ The speed of car Z = 200/2.5 = 80 km/h

⇒ The speed of car Y = 80 × (150/100) = 80 × (3/2) = 120 km/h (According to question)

⇒ The speed of car X = 120 × (150/100) = 120 × (3/2) = 180 km/h (According to question)

⇒ The car X can travel distance in 3.5 hours = 180 × 3.5 = 630 km

∴ The required result will be 630 km.

Given:

The total unit sold in 2019 is 70000

The sales price for 2015 is 1000 per unit

Concept:

Total expenditure = (Per unit price) × (Total number of unit)

Calculation:

⇒ Price per unit in 2019 = Price per unit 2015 + 100 (For 2016) + 100 (For 2017) + 100 (For 2018) + 100

⇒ Price per unit in 2019 = 1000 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 1400

⇒ Total sales in 2019 = (The total unit sold in 2019) × (Price per unit in 2019)

⇒ Price per unit in 2019 = 70000 × 1400 = 98000000 = 98 million

∴ The required result will be 98 million.

Given:

At 25% profit selling price of an item was 750

Concept:

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Calculation:

Let be assume cost price of the time is 100x

⇒ 125x = 750

⇒ x = 6

⇒ Now, the actual selling price of the item was 5% less the cost price of the items

⇒ The actual selling price of item = 100x - 5x = 95x

⇒ 95 × 6 = 570

∴ The required result will be 570.

Given:

The length of the tank L = 50 m

The breadth of the tank B = 40 m

Calculation:

⇒ The amount after two year = 20000 × (200/100) × (200/100) = 80000

⇒ The amount after three year = 20000 × (200/100) × (200/100) × (200/100) = 160000

⇒ The interest earned for 3^rd year = (The amount of 3^rd year) - (The amount of 2^nd year)

⇒ The interest earned for 3^rd year = 160000 - 80000 = 80000

∴ The required result will be 80000.

Given:

Let be assume K is equal to  2x = 4y = 7z then,

⇒  2x = 4y = 7z = K

⇒ x = K/2       ----(1)

⇒ y = K/4       ----(2)

⇒ z = K/7       ----(3)

⇒ (x - y + z) : (x + y - z)

⇒ By equation (1), (2), and (3)

⇒ (K/2 - K/4 + K/7) : (K/2 + K/4 - K/7)

⇒ (14K - 7K + 4K)/28 : (14K + 7K - 4K)/28

⇒ 11K : 17K

⇒ 11 : 17

∴ The required result will be 11 : 17.

Given:

5 dozen of bananas for Rs. 480

5 scores of bananas for Rs. 800

Concept:

Average = (Sum of total items)/(Total number of items)

Total expenditure = Price of per unit × Total number of unit

Calculation:

⇒ 5 dozen = 12 × 5 bananas = 60 bananas

⇒ The cost price of each banana = 480/60 = Rs. 8

⇒ The cost price of the second type of each banana = 800/(5 × 20) = 8

⇒ The average cost price of bananas = (8 + 8)/2 = 8

⇒ The selling price at which average profit % on average cost price = 8 × (125/100) = 8 × (5/4) = 10

∴ The required result will be Rs. 10.

1 score = 20 units

1 dozen = 12 units
