Second letter -

P + 6 = V

V + 6 = B

Hence, the correct answer is  (EP, YV, SB).

The correct Venn diagram representation is-

Conclusion:

I. Some B are C. → Follows (According to the statement, Some A are B and all B are C. Hence, some B are C)

II. Some B are not D. → Follows (According to the statement, No A is D and Some A are B Hence, the part of A in B is not D.)

Hence, the given statement is correct.

III. Some D are not C.  → Does not follow (According to the statement, There is no direct relation between D and C is given in statements. Hence this conclusion does not follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is Both conclusions I and II follow.

Given:

Total small cubes = 125

Numbered of cubes have 3 surface coloured = 8

Numbered of cubes have 2 surface coloured which are on edge = 3 X 12(edges) = 36 

Numbered of cubes have 1 surface coloured = 9 X 6(faces) = 54

Number of cubes have no surface coloured = 125 - (8 + 36 + 54) = 27

Hence, the correct answer is 27.

Additional InformationThe original cube is divided into 125 smaller equal cubes, which indicates that the side of the larger cube has been divided into 5 parts.

⇒  5 × 5 × 5 = 125

Assuming the cube having side length 5 units represented by an array of smaller 1-unit cubes:

Cubes painted black and blue fall on the outer layers of the larger cube.

Only the smaller cubes on the inside are not painted, making up a 333 = 27 cube system, as they are shielded from the paint.

So, the trick is realizing that the interior "cube" of the larger block (subtracting one layer all around) is not painted.

In this case, that interior cube is 3x3x3=27 units.

That's why 27 smaller cubes have no faces painted.

The total number of triangles are-

Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Here the common in both the figure is having odd number of edges , vertices and sides.

Similarly,

In this figure, the number of vertices is 5 which are odd.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Step 1:-  B eats F2.

Step 2:-  E eats F1 but does not like B1 or B2. 

Step 3:-  C does not eat F4 but likes B5. C also does not like F2.and F1 because F2 and F1 are like by other boys and C have B5, if C have B5 then he does not F3 because The one who eats F3 likes B3. Hence C like F5.

Step 4:- A does not like B3 then the one who eats F3 likes B3. So, A like B4. and D like B3.

Step 5:-  E does not like B1 or B2. And B3 as well as B5 are like by other boys.

Hence E like B4.

Step 6:- B does not like B2. Then B like B1 and A like B2.

Conclusion:

From the above statement, it is clear that:-

I. A likes B2.

II. C eats F5.

III. E likes B4. 

Hence, The correct answer is I, II and III.

Hence, the correct answer is Neither I nor II.

The positional value of alphabets are -

Logic - (First letter + 2)(Second letter + 1)

In NC : PD,

N + 2 = P

C + 1 = D

Similarly, 

P + 2 = R

R + 1 = S

Hence, the correct answer is RS.

The wrong term from the given alternatives are:

(132 x 0.5) = 66

⇒66 + 1 = 67

(67 x 1) = 67

⇒67 + 1 = 68

(68 x 1.5) = 102

⇒102 + 1 = 103

(103 x 2) = 206

⇒206 + 1= 207

(207 x 2.5) = 517.5

⇒517.5 + 1 = 518.5 (wrong term)

Here, 518.5 comes but in question 518 is given.

Hence, the correct answer is 518.

The positional value of alphabets are -

Logic - (First letter - 7) (Second letter - 5)(Third letter + 6)

The direction chart is given below - 

Step1 :- Let Rohit started walking from A and walks 40 metre then he turns to the left and walks 30 metre.

Step2 :-  He turns to the right and walks 35 metre.

Step3 :-He again turns to the right and walks 60 metre

Step4 :- Finally, he turns to the right and walks 115 metre

The distance between starting point and finishing point -

By using pythagoras theorem in triangle AOB -

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

(AB)2 = (30)² + (40)²

(AB)2 = 900 + 1600 = 2500

AB = 50m

1. The distance between starting point and finishing point is 40 metre.

The distance between starting point and finishing point is 50 metre.

Hence, the given statement is incorrect.

2. If now Rohit is facing towards the east, then he would have started walking towards the west.

Here, Rohit started walking in west and at finishing point he faces towards east.

Hence, the given statement is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is Only II.

Logic - (Row 1)² + (Row 2)² = Row 3

In column 1:-

2² + 3² = 13 

In column 2:-

42 + 52 = 41

Given:

Cost Price of Each Helmet = Rs 2000

Concept Used:

Profit % = Profit/Cost Price  × 100 

Calculation:

Cost price of three Helmet = 2000 × 3 = 6000

Selling Price of Helmet = (2000 × 160/100) + (2000 × 80/100) + (2000 × 70/100) = 3200 + 1600 + 1400 = 6200

Total profit = 6200 - 6000 = 200

Profit % = Profit/Cost Price × 100 = 200/6000 × 100 = 3.33%

Given:

J can fill the tank in = 48 hours.

K can fill the tank in = 72 hours.

Concept Used:

Efficiency = Total work/Time taken

Calculation:

LCM of 48 & 72 = 144

So, Let the total capacity of the tank be 144 units.

Efficiency of J = 144/48 = 3 units.

Efficiency of K = 144/72 = 2 units.

Total efficiency of J & K = 3 + 2 = 5 units

When opened alternatively, they filled 5 units in 2 hours

⇒ 140 units in 56 hours.

⇒ 142 units in 57 hours.

⇒ 144 units in 57(2/3) hours.

∴ They can fill the whole tank in 57(2/3) hours.

Given,

The side of a rhombus = 26 cm

The length of one of its diagonals = 20 cm

Concept Used:

By using Pythagoras theorem:

(Other diagonal/2)² = (side)² - (One diagonal/2)2 

Calculation:

Other diagonal = 2(676 - 100)^1/2

Other Diagonal = 2(576)^1/2

 Other Diagonal = 2 x 24 = 48

The perimeter of the rectangle = 20 + 48 = 68

⇒ l + b = 34

⇒ l - b = 6

⇒ l = 20

⇒ b = 14

Total Area of rectangle = l × b

 = 20 × 14

= 280 cm²

Hence, option 1 is correct answer.

Shortcut Trick

Depreciation rate of 50% means the value becomes half (1/2) every year.

For 3 years, the value becomes (1/2)³ = 1/8 of the original price.

1 unit (Present Value) = ₹75000

8 units (Value 3 years ago) = 75000 × 8 = ₹600000.

∴ The correct answer is ₹600000.

Alternate Method

Given:

Present Value (V) = ₹75000

Rate of Depreciation (R) = 50% per annum

Time (n) = 3 years

Formula Used:

V = P × (1 − R/100)ⁿ

3 Yrs Ago (P) 2 Yrs Ago 1 Yr Ago Present (V)

−50% −50% −50% ₹75,000 Value = ?

Calculations:

⇒ 75000 = P × (1 − 50/100)³

⇒ 75000 = P × (50/100)³

⇒ 75000 = P × (1/2)³

⇒ 75000 = P × (1/8)

⇒ P = 75000 × 8

⇒ P = ₹600000

∴ The correct answer is ₹600000.

Additional Information

Depreciation Formula

The value of an asset after n years with depreciation rate r% is given by A = P × (1 − r/100)ⁿ.

Appreciation / Growth Formula

If the value increases (like population or investment), the formula is A = P × (1 + r/100)ⁿ.

Effective Rate for 3 Years

For a 50% decrease over 3 years, the overall decrease is 1 − (0.5)³ = 1 − 0.125 = 87.5%.

Given: \(\sqrt{\frac{(0.56)^{2}+(0.66)^{2}+(0.0076)^{2}}{(0.056)^{2}+(0.066)^{2}+(0.00076)^{2}}}\)

Solution:

We can write the below values like this: 

\(\sqrt{\frac{(0.56)^{2}+(0.66)^{2}+(0.0076)^{2}}{(0.1)^{2}(0.56)^{2}+(0.1)^{2}(0.66)^{2}+(0.1)^{2}(0.0076)^{2}}}\)

Now, we can take (0.1)² common in the below number and when we put (0.1)2 outside the root so the value is 0.1.

Then, Above and below numbers are same then we can cancel for both the number

\(1\div0.1\)

= 10

Hence, option 3 is correct answer.

⇒ 80 - 18 + 5

⇒ 62 + 5 = 67

Hence, option 2 is correct answer.

Given - 

cost of paper = Rs. 20,000

Solution - 

Let the total price be Rs. x

⇒ the cost of the paper = Rs. 20,000

⇒ 25% of x = 20,000

⇒ x =Rs. 80,000

⇒ promotion cost = 10% of 80,000 = Rs. 8000

∴ promotion cost = Rs. 8000

Calculation:

The number of workers in company A is 230

So, 20 % leave the job so 20 % if 230 is

⇒ 230 × 20 / 100 = 46

The new number of workers in company B is

⇒ 150 + 46 = 196

Now the total number of workers in B + C + D is,

⇒ 196 + 170 + 250 = 616

The total number of workers working in companies B, C, and D together is 616

Given

The sum of money triples itself

Time = 4 years.

Formula used

A = P(1 + r/100)t

where, A = amount · P = principal, r = rate of interest, and n = number of times interest is compounded per year.

Calculation

Let the sum of money be x.

The amount of money after 4 years = 3x.

A = P(1 + r/100)t

3x = x(1 + r/100)4

3 = (1 + r/100)4  ....(I)

Let the money become 9 times in t years.

A = P(1 + r/100)t

9x = x(1 + r/100)t

32 = (1 + r/100)t ....(ii)

Equating (I) and (ii)

{(1 + r/100)4}2 =  (1 + r/100)t 

(1 + r/100)⁸ = (1 + r/100)t

Since the base is the same we can equate the powers.

t = 8 years.

The correct answer is 2.

Shortcut Trick

Upstream Speed = Boat speed − Current speed = 18 − 8 = 10 km/hr.

Downstream Speed = Boat speed + Current speed = 18 + 8 = 26 km/hr.

∴ The correct answer is 10 km/hr, 26 km/hr.

Alternate Method

Given:

Speed of the boat in still water (u) = 18 km/hr

Speed of the current/stream (v) = 8 km/hr

Formula Used:

1. Upstream Speed (U) = u − v
2. Downstream Speed (D) = u + v

Calculations:

⇒ Upstream speed = 18 − 8

⇒ Upstream speed = 10 km/hr

⇒ Downstream speed = 18 + 8

⇒ Downstream speed = 26 km/hr

∴ The correct answer is 10 km/hr, 26 km/hr.

Additional Information

Speed of Boat in Still Water

If downstream speed (D) and upstream speed (U) are known, speed in still water u = (D + U) ÷ 2.

Speed of the Stream

The speed of the current/stream v = (D − U) ÷ 2.

Relative Speed in Water

In Downstream, the motion of the boat is in the direction of the stream. In Upstream, the motion is against the direction of the stream.

Given

The total surface area of a hemisphere = 1848 cm²

Formula used 

The total surface area of hemisphere = 3 × π × r

Where r = radius of the sphere

Calculation

⇒ 3 × π × r² = 1848

⇒ r² = (1848 × 7)/(3 × 22)

⇒ r² = 196

⇒ r = √ 196

⇒ r = 14 cm.

The correct answer is 3.

Given

The total number of employees = 21

20% profit is shared among seniors and juniors.

The ratio between their profit share = 4:1

The ratio of the number of senior employees to the number of junior employees = 4 : 3.

Each junior's share = 2200

Calculation

The number of seniors = 21 × 4/7 = 12

The number of juniors = 21 × 3/7 = 9

The total share of juniors = 2200 × 9 = 19800

The total share of seniors = 12 × 8800 = 105600

The total share(20%) = 19800 + 105600 = 125400

If 20% i.e 1/5^th of total profit = 125400

Then 100% = 125400 × 5 = 627000

The correct answer is 3.

Given

The percentage of boys in the class = 40%

The number of girls in the class = 54

Calculation

The percentage of girls in the class = 100 - 40 = 60%

Let the total number of students in the class be x.

⇒ 0.6x = 54

⇒ x = 90

The number of boys = 90 - 54 = 36

The correct answer is 2.

Given

The number of cars sold by P = 400

The number of cars sold by T = 200

Calculation

The number of cars sold by P - The number of cars sold by T = 200

The percentage difference = (400 - 200)/200 × 100

The percentage difference = 100%

P is 100% more than T.

The correct answer is 1.

Shortcut Trick

Given relation: 2P = 3Q = 6R

Find the LCM of coefficients (2, 3, and 6), which is 6.

Divide the LCM by each coefficient to get the Profit Ratio directly:

P = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 | Q = 6 ÷ 3 = 2 | R = 6 ÷ 6 = 1

∴ The correct answer is 3 : 2 : 1.

Alternate Method

Given:

Share relation: 2 × Share of P = 3 × Share of Q = 6 × Share of R

Formula Used:

If aP = bQ = cR, then P : Q : R = (1/a) : (1/b) : (1/c)

Calculations:

⇒ Let 2P = 3Q = 6R = k

⇒ P = k/2, Q = k/3, R = k/6

⇒ P : Q : R = k/2 : k/3 : k/6

⇒ Multiply the ratio by the LCM of 2, 3, and 6 (which is 6) to eliminate fractions.

⇒ P : Q : R = (k/2 × 6) : (k/3 × 6) : (k/6 × 6)

⇒ P : Q : R = 3k : 2k : 1k

⇒ P : Q : R = 3 : 2 : 1

∴ The correct answer is 3 : 2 : 1.

Additional Information

Partnership Profit Sharing Rule

Profit is distributed in the ratio of Capital × Time. If time is constant, Profit ∝ Capital.

Inverse Proportion in Ratios

When terms are given as Ax = By, the ratio x : y = B : A. This is because the values are inversely proportional to their coefficients.

Simplifying Fractional Ratios

To convert a fractional ratio like 1/a : 1/b : 1/c into a whole number ratio, multiply each term by the LCM of the denominators a, b, and c.

Given

The speed of Suraj for the first 3 hours = 50 km/hr.

The speed of Suraj for the remaining journey hours = 20 km/hr.

The speed of Rahul = 60 km/hr.

Formula

Distance = speed × time

Calculation

The distance covered by Suraj till 6 PM = 3 × 50 + 2 × 20

The distance covered by Suraj till 6 PM = 190

The relative speed between Rahul and Suraj = 60 - 20 = 40 km/hr

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 190/40

Times = 19/4 = 4 hours 45 minutes

Rahul will catch Suraj by = 6 + 4 hr 45 minutes 

Rahul will catch Suraj by = 10:45 PM.

The correct answer is 4.

Given

The average of 13 students = 16 years.

Concept used

Average: An average is defined as the sum of all the values divided by the total number of values in a given set.

Formula used

Average = Sum of Values/Number of Values

Calculation

The sum of Student's age = Number of Students × Average

The sum of the Student's age = 13 × 16 = 208

When a new student weighing 30 years joins the class = 208 + 30 = 238

Now the new average = 238/14 = 17

The correct answer is 2.

Concept

Cyclicity of number

The cyclicity of any number is focused on its unit digit mainly. Every unit digit has its own repetitive pattern when raised to any power.

Cyclicity of 8: The cyclicity of 8 has 4 different numbers: 8, 4, 2, 6.

Cyclicity of 6: When 6 is raised to any power, the unit digit of the final answer is the number itself.

Cyclicity of 4: If 4 is raised to the power of an odd number, then the unit digit will be 4.

If 4 is raised to the power of an even number, then the unit digit will be 6.

Calculation

28⁹⁶ = The unit digit will be 6.

26⁹² = The unit digit will be 6.

94²² = The unit digit will be 6.

⇒ 2896 × 2692 × 94²² = The unit digit is 6.

The correct answer is 1.

Concept

Divisibility by 8

A number is divisible by 8 when its last 3 digits is divisible by 8.

Solution

For the number 987X8 to be divisible by 8 its last three digits should be divisible by 8.

So in the last 3 digits 7X8, when X = 2,  728 is divisible by 8.

Hence, the answer is 1.

Given:

\(√{16+6 √{7}}=√{x}+√{y}\)

Formula used:

(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab

Calculation:

\(√{16+6 √{7}}=√{x}+√{y}\)

Squaring both the sides,

16 + 6√7 = x + y + 2\(√{x y}\)

⇒ (√7)² + (√9)² + 2\(\sqrt{7\times 9}\) = x + y + 2\(\sqrt{x y}\)

On comparing both the sides, we get the following value of

x = 7 and y = 9

⇒ x + y = 7 + 9 

⇒ x + y = 16

∴ The correct answer is 16.
