The logic followed here is:

The second letter has been obtained by adding 1 to the face value of the first letter and the third letter has been obtained by adding 2 to the face value of the second letter. 

Now, we check the given options one by one to find the odd one out as follows:

  1. I,J,L → This pattern clearly follows the logic as mentioned above.  2. R,S,U → This pattern clearly follows the logic as mentioned above.  3. D,E,G → This pattern clearly follows the logic as mentioned above.  4. L,M,P → This pattern clearly doesn't follow the logic as mentioned above. We have to add 3 to the face value of M to get P.  5. W,X,Z → This pattern clearly follows the logic as mentioned above. 

Therefore, we see that L,M,P is the odd one out. 

Hence, L,M,P is the odd one out.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

429 liters

Given:

Initial ratio of milk to water = 11 : 3

26 liters of milk is added, then another 13 liters of milk is added.

Final ratio of milk to water = 12 : 3

Let:

Initial quantity of milk = 11x liters

Initial quantity of water = 3x liters

26 liters + 13 liters = 39 liters

Final milk = 11x + 39

(11x + 39) : 3x = 12 : 3

(11x + 39) / 3x = 4

11x + 39 = 12x

39 = 12x - 11x

x = 39

Initial milk = 11x = 11 x 39 = 429 liters

The initial quantity of milk in the mixture was 429 liters.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

1.25 days

Bull's work rate = 1 field / 5 days = 1 / 5 field/day

Buffalo's work rate =1 field / 10 days = 1 / 10 field/day

3 Bulls = 3 × 1 / 5 = 3 / 5 field/day

2 Buffaloes = 2 × 1 / 10 = 2 / 10 = 1 / 5 field/day

Total work rate = (3 / 5) + (1 / 5) = 4 / 5 field/day

Time = Total Work / Work Rate =  1field / (4/5 field/day) = 5 / 4 days = 1.25 days

Thus, the correct answer is 1.25 days.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

91 cm²

Given:

Perimeter (P) = 40 cm

Difference between length and breadth = l - b = 6 cm

Perimeter formula for a rectangle:

P = 2(l + b)

Substituting the given perimeter:

2l + b = 40

l + b = 20.......................(Equation 1)

Given difference:

l - b = 6............................(Equation 2)

Add Equation 1 and Equation 2:

(l + b) + (l  - b) = 20 + 6

2l = 26

l = 13cm

Substitute l = 13 into Equation 1:

13 + b = 20

b = 7cm

A = l × b = 13 × 7 = 91cm2

Thus, the correct answer is 91 cm²

Answer: ((a))

20%

From the table:

March: 41

April: 69

May: 28

June: 42

Total tasks by C:

41 + 69 + 28 + 42 = 180

From the table:

March: 33

April: 45

May: 37

June: 35

Total tasks by B:

33 + 45 + 37 + 35 = 150

Difference = Total tasks by C - Total tasks by B = 180 - 150 = 30

The percentage difference is calculated relative to the total tasks completed by B:

Percentage Difference =Difference / Total tasks by B × 100 = 30 / 150 × 100 = 20%

Thus, the number of tasks completed by Person C in all months is 20% more than the number of tasks completed by Person B in all months.

From the table, the number of tasks completed by each person in April is:

A: 23

B: 45

C: 69

From the table, the number of tasks completed by each person in May is:

A: 40

B: 37

C: 28

D: 35

Total tasks in May:

40 + 37 + 28 + 35 = 140

Difference = Total Tasks in April Total Tasks in May = 190 - 140 = 50

Thus, the difference between the number of tasks completed by all in April and May is 50.

From the table:

Tasks completed by A in March = 53

Tasks completed by A in April = 23

Tasks completed by A in May = 40

Tasks completed by A in June = 54

Total tasks completed by A:

53 + 23 + 40 + 54 = 170

From the table:

Tasks completed by A in June = 54

Tasks completed by B in June = 35

Tasks completed by C in June = 42

Tasks completed by D in June = 39

Total tasks completed by all persons in June:

54 + 35 + 42 + 39 = 170

Percentage = Tasks by A / Tasks by All in June × 100 = 170 / 170 × 100 = 100%

Thus, the number of tasks completed by Person A in all months is 100% of the tasks completed by all persons in June.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

190

Given:

Manisha scores 35% and fail by 15 marks

Deepti scores 45% marks and get 35 more than the passing marks

Calculations:

Let total number in examination be x.

Manisha’s passing marks = x × 35/100 + 15

Deepti’s passing marks = x × 45/100 – 35

⇒ x × 35/100 + 15 = x × 45/100 – 35

⇒ 10x/100 = 50

⇒ x = 500

Manisha’s score = 500 × 35/100 = 175

Deepti’s score = 500 × 45/100 = 225

Passing marks = 225 – 35 = 190

∴ Passing marks = 190.
