Given input: blue 42 rose 71 violet 13 orange

Logic:

Step 1 — Alphabetical arrangement of words from the left: arrange only the words (ignore numbers) in ascending alphabetical order and place them at the left side.

Step 2 — Numbers arranged in descending order from the end: arrange only the numbers in descending order and place them at the right side.

Apply the logic:

Words sorted alphabetically: blue, orange, rose, violet

Numbers sorted in descending order: 71, 42, 13

Combined result (words on left in alphabetical order + numbers on right in descending order):

blue orange rose violet 71 42 13

Therefore, Step 3 (the result after applying the stated logic) is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

Concept used: 

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below

Calculation:

13 - [13 - {13 - (13 ÷ 13)}]

⇒ 13 - [13 - {13 - 1}]

⇒ 13 - [13 - 12]

⇒ 13 - [1]

⇒ 13 - 1 = 12

∴The correct option is 4 i.e. 12

The Correct answer is H⁺.

Key Points

• The presence of H⁺ ions in a solution is what makes an acid exhibit its acidic properties.
• When an acid is dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen ions (H⁺), which are responsible for the acidic nature of the solution.
• The strength of an acid is determined by the concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution.
• H⁺ ions are also known as protons, and they can combine with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).
• The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, where a lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of H⁺ ions and thus a more acidic solution.

 Additional Information

• OH^-
• Hydroxide ions (OH^-) are responsible for the basic properties of a solution.
• Bases release OH^- ions in solution, which can neutralize H⁺ ions.
• Cl^-
• Chloride ions (Cl^-) are typically found in salts and do not contribute to the acidity of a solution.
• For example, in hydrochloric acid (HCl), H⁺ is responsible for acidity, while Cl^- is the conjugate base.
• Na⁺
• Sodium ions (Na⁺) are typically found in salts and do not contribute to the acidity of a solution.
• In solutions, Na⁺ ions are usually paired with anions and do not affect the pH significantly.

The situation which points towards an act of bullying requires action.

1. Four girls are surrounding another girl and have possession on her bag → It clearly indicates an act of bullying as one girl is surrounded by four and have possession on her bag. So, this situation requires action.

2. A girl sitting quietly without interaction → It does not indicates an act of bullying.

3. Two boys playing basketball are arguing → It does not indicates an act of bullying.

4. Three boys are huddled over a video game, which is not allowed in school → It does not indicates an act of bullying.

Hence, ‘option 1’ is the correct answer.

Given: 

a3 + b3 = 26 and a + b = 2

Concept:

a3 + b3 = (a + b)³ - 3ab(a + b)

Solution:

a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 - 3ab(a + b)

⇒ 26 = 2³ - 3ab(2)

⇒ 26 = 8 - 6ab

⇒ 18 = -6ab

⇒ -18 = 6ab 

Hence 6ab = -18 

Shortcut Trick

The value of a & b which satisfied both the given relation is

a = 3, b = -1. From here, we get 

6ab = 6 × 3  × (-1) = -18

• Since Freud redefined sexuality to encompass its infantile aspects, the Oedipus complex has become the cornerstone of psychoanalytical thought.

I. Tea is a better drink than coffee - Does not follow (Because, Nothing mention in the given statement about which drink is better and no parameters of judgment are also mentioned. In other words, we can't conclude which drink is better based on their percentage of consumption)

II. More people prefer to drink coffee as compared to milk - Follows (Because, 28 percent preferred to drink coffee whereas 5 percent preferred to drink milk. We can clearly conclude from this that more people preferred to drink coffee than milk).

So, only conclusion II follows.  

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Suppose RS = x cm

Hence, QS = (16 – x) cm

Since PS is the bisector of ∠QPR.

∴ PQ/PR = QS/SR

⇒ 12/18 = (16 – x)/x

⇒ 6x = 144 – 9x

⇒ x = 9.6

∴ RS = 9.6 cm

Net deviation of 13 numbers from the overall average 30 = 13 × (32 − 30) = +26.

To balance the total average, the deviation of the remaining 2 numbers must be −26.

Individual deviation for each of the 2 numbers = −26 ÷ 2 = −13.

Value of each number = Overall Average + Individual Deviation = 30 − 13 = 17.

∴ The correct answer is 17.

Alternate Method

Given:

Average of 15 numbers = 30

Average of 13 numbers = 32

Remaining 2 numbers are equal (Let each be x).

Formula Used:

Sum of observations = Average × Number of observations

13 Numbers
Avg = 32
2 Numbers
Avg = x

Total 15 Numbers (Average = 30)

Calculations:

⇒ Total sum of 15 numbers = 15 × 30 = 450

⇒ Sum of 13 numbers = 13 × 32 = 416

⇒ Sum of remaining 2 numbers = Total sum − Sum of 13 numbers

⇒ x + x = 450 − 416

⇒ 2x = 34

⇒ x = 34 ÷ 2 = 17

∴ The correct answer is 17.

Additional Information

Using the direct ratio relationship between Cost Price and Marked Price:

CP : MP = (100 − D%) : (100 + P%)

⇒ CP : 15000 = (100 − 10) : (100 + 8)

⇒ CP : 15000 = 90 : 108 = 5 : 6

⇒ CP = 15000 × 5 ÷ 6 = 12500

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 12,500.

Alternate Method

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 15000

Discount (D) = 10%

Profit (P) = 8%

Formula Used:

Selling Price (SP) = MP × (100 − D%) ÷ 100

Cost Price (CP) = SP × 100 ÷ (100 + P%)

CP = ?

SP = 13500

MP = 15000

−10% Discount

+8% Profit

Calculations:

⇒ SP = 15000 × (100 − 10) ÷ 100

⇒ SP = 15000 × 90 ÷ 100

⇒ SP = 13500

⇒ CP = 13500 × 100 ÷ (100 + 8)

⇒ CP = 1350000 ÷ 108

⇒ CP = 12500

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 12,500.

Additional Information

Direct Relation between CP and MP

The fastest way to establish the ratio of Cost Price to Marked Price is using the universal formula: CP ÷ MP = (100 − Discount%) ÷ (100 + Profit%).

​We have to find total of five natural even numbers .

Explanation:

Statement I: The second number s two times the first number.

• Let the first number = x
• Then, the second number = 2x

Statement II: All the five even numbers are consecutive even numbers in increasing order.

• We get that number will be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8.
• Combining I and II, we get
• x + 2 = 2x
• x = 2

Total of five natural even numbers =  x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 =30

Hence, Both the Statements together are necessary to answer the Question is the correct answer.

The correct answer is option 4.

Given: The area of a circle is doubled when its radius is increased by 1.

Calculation:

⇒ Area of the circle, A = \(\pi \; r^2\)

⇒ Now the area of a circle is doubled when its radius is increased by 1.

⇒ A' = 2A

⇒ \(\pi \; (r+1)^2 = 2 \times \pi \; r^2\)

⇒ (r + 1)² = 2r²

⇒ r + 1 = \(\sqrt 2 r\)

⇒ \(\sqrt2 r - r = 1\)

⇒ r\((\sqrt2 - 1) \) = 1

⇒ r = \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2 - 1}\)

⇒ r = \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2 -1} \times \dfrac{\sqrt2 + 1}{\sqrt 2 + 1}\)

⇒ r = \(\sqrt2 + 1\)

Hence, the radius of the circle is \(\sqrt2 + 1\).

The statement only talks about specific types of frequencies.

• Though music is a type of frequency, we cannot be certain that this is the type mentioned in the statement.
• Therefore, the conclusion that the human brain responds to music is possible but not definite.
• Thus, conclusion I does not follow.

The statement says that specific type of frequencies aid in the healing of problems related to the human brain.

• As the brain is an internal organ of the human body, it is safe to conclude that these frequencies are used to heal diseases (at least related to the brain) in human body.

Therefore, conclusion II follows.

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

Concept used:

cosec2θ - cot2θ = 1

Here, we have to calculate the odd days from 5^th January 2020 to 24^th January 2022.

5^th January, 2020 – 5^th January, 2021 = 366 days ⇒ 2 odd day (as 2020 is the leap year and 29^th Feb is included in this period)

5^th January, 2021 – 5^th January, 2022 = 365 days ⇒ 1 odd day

5^th January, 2022 – 24^th January 2022 = 19 Days 

Total days = 2 + 1 + 19 = 22 

Now, when we divide 22 by 7 we get remainder 1.

The total odd days from 5^th January 2020 to 24^th January 2022 = 1

So,

Sunday + 1 = Monday

Hence, it was Monday on 24^th January 2022.

Given:

Ratio of ages = 2 : 3 : 4 : 5

Total age = 140 years

Formula Used:

Age of individual = (Ratio part of individual / Sum of ratio parts) × Total age

Calculations:

Sum of ratio parts = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5

⇒ Sum of ratio parts = 14

Age of youngest person (2 parts) = \(\dfrac{2}{14}\) × 140

⇒ Age of youngest person = 2 × 10

⇒ Age of youngest person = 20 years

Age of oldest person (5 parts) = \(\dfrac{5}{14}\) × 140

⇒ Age of oldest person = 5 × 10

⇒ Age of oldest person = 50 years

Difference in age = Age of oldest person - Age of youngest person

⇒ Difference in age = 50 - 20

⇒ Difference in age = 30 years

∴ The difference in age between the youngest and the oldest person is 30 years.

• All are facing North.
• Aniket is 12^th from the left.
• Kavlin is 18^th from the right.
• If their positions are swapped, Kavlin becomes 14^th from the right

Explanation:

Total number of students = Position of Aniket from left + Position of Kavlin from right after interchange - 1

= 12 + 14 - 1 = 25

Hence 25 is the correct answer.

Given:

P's salary is 60% of Q's salary which is 50% of R's salary.

Calculation

P's Salary = 60% of Q

= 60% of (50% of R)

= (60/100)[(50/100)*100] % of R

= 30% of R

∴ P's salary is 30% of R's salary.

Alternate Method 

Let Q salary be 100

P salary = 60

R salary = 200

P salary = 60/200 × 100 = 30% of R salary

The Opposite surface of the open dice can be found by the below method:- 

• Alternate surfaces are opposite to each other.
• No two opposite surface are touched by side or by corners

So, by using the above rule we can find the opposite surface of open dice.

Below are the opposite surfaces shown :

Note :- Two opposite face are never seen together or adjacent to each other.

Given :

By option elimination method:

• Figures A and C cannot be two positions of the same dice. So, option 4 is eliminated.
• Also, 4 and 6 will be adjacent to 1 if the question figure is folded to form a cube. So, either figure A or figure C has to be a part of the final answer. Thus, only option 2 satisfies this condition.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only B ,C and D".

Mistake Points

The question figure of unfolded dice can be represented as follows

The Figure A is as follows

As seen from above figures, the sequence in the Figure A is opposite to the sequence in the question figure.

Thus, the dice shown in Figure A can't be formed by folding the given sheet along the lines.

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹1200

Amount (A) = ₹1440

Time (t) = 2 years

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = A - P

SI = \(\dfrac{P \times r \times t}{100}\)

Where, r = rate of interest

Calculations:

SI = \(\dfrac{P \times r \times t}{100}\):

240 = \(\dfrac{1200 \times r \times 2}{100}\)

⇒ 240 = 12 × r × 2

⇒ 240 = 24 × r

⇒ r = \(\dfrac{240}{24}\)

⇒ r = 10%

∴ The rate of interest is 10% per annum.

Given: 19 July 2000 was Wednesday.

Now,

2000 to 2009 = 9 Years (7 Ordinary Years and 2 Leap Years).

And, In 9 Years = 2 Leap Years and 7 Ordinary Years.

So, 2 Leap Years have 4 odd days,

And, 7 Ordinary Years have 7 odd days.

Total odd days = 4 + 7 = 11.

11 odd days → 11/7 = 1 week and 4 odd days.

then, 19 July 2009 will be Wednesday + 4 = Sunday.

Now, the number of days between 14 June 2009 to 19 July 2009

= 16 (June) + 19 (July) = 35 days.

= 35 days → 35/7 = 5 weeks and 0 odd days.

So, 14 June 2009 will be Sunday - 0 = Sunday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Concept:

Pythagoras Theorem says that the sum of the square of base and perpendicular is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle or the sum of the squares of two sides is equal to the square of the third side. 

Calculation:

Let us check this property with the above options;

Option 1: 4² + 5² ≠ 7²

Option 2: 5² + 5² ≠ 6²

Option 3: 4² + 5² ≠ 6²

Option 4: 7² + 24² = 25²

∴ The sides in the option 4 are of a right angle triangle.

Ratio of Rohan's age to Nikhil's age = 2 : 1

Difference in ratio parts = 2 − 1 = 1 part

Given that Nikhil is 8 years younger, 1 part = 8 years

Rohan's age = 2 parts = 2 × 8 = 16 years

∴ The correct answer is 16 years.

Alternate Method

Given:

Nikhil is 8 years younger than Rohan.

Rohan is twice the age of Nikhil.

Calculations:

Let Nikhil's age be x years.

⇒ Rohan's age = (x + 8) years

According to the given condition, Rohan's age = 2 × Nikhil's age

⇒ x + 8 = 2x

⇒ 2x − x = 8

⇒ x = 8

So, Nikhil's age is 8 years.

⇒ Rohan's age = 2 × x = 2 × 8 = 16 years

∴ The correct answer is 16 years.

LCM of 20 and 12 = 60 eggs.
Cost Price (CP) of 60 eggs = 3 × ₹7 = ₹21.
Selling Price (SP) of 60 eggs = 5 × ₹7.20 = ₹36.
Profit earned on 60 eggs = ₹36 − ₹21 = ₹15.
Since ₹15 profit is on 60 eggs, ₹30 profit will be on (60 ÷ 15) × 30 = 120 eggs.
∴ The correct answer is 120 eggs.

Alternate Method
Given:
Cost Price (CP) of 20 eggs = ₹7
Selling Price (SP) of 12 eggs = ₹7.20
Total Profit earned = ₹30

Formula: Profit = Selling Price (SP) − Cost Price (CP)
⇒ CP of 1 egg = 7 ÷ 20 = ₹0.35
⇒ SP of 1 egg = 7.20 ÷ 12 = ₹0.60
⇒ Profit earned on 1 egg = 0.60 − 0.35 = ₹0.25
⇒ Let the number of eggs bought be 'n'.
⇒ Total Profit = n × Profit per egg
⇒ 30 = n × 0.25
⇒ n = 30 ÷ 0.25
⇒ n = 3000 ÷ 25
⇒ n = 120
Thus, the total number of eggs bought by Meena is 120, which corresponds to Option (2).
∴ The correct answer is 120 eggs.

Additional Information
Unitary Method in Profit & Loss
Always calculate the CP and SP for a single unit to simplify calculations when quantities for buying and selling are different.
Profit Percentage Formula
Profit % = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100. In this case, Profit % = (0.25 ÷ 0.35) × 100 ≈ 71.42%.
Relationship between CP, SP and Profit
If SP > CP, it is a Profit. If CP > SP, it is a Loss. Total Profit = Quantity × (SP per unit − CP per unit).

20% of voters did not vote 

invalids votes = 2800

the winner gets 53% of the valid votes and wins by 1200 votes

Calculations:

Let the total voting list = x

(x × 80% – 2800) × 6% = 1200

(∵ if the winner gets 53% votes then the loser gets 47% votes, the Difference between winner and loser is 6%)

⇒ (x × 80% - 2800) = 20000

⇒ x × 80% = 22800

⇒ x × 4/5 = 22800

∴ x = 28500

Additional Information Some important Scientist’s names:

The question talks about a way to avoid chaos in the vegetable market.

• Argument I suggests that if people are polite and they make way for each other, the chaos can be avoided which is logically correct. If people are mutually giving space to others, there won't be any chaos happening.
• Argument II suggests that avoiding chaos won't be possible because the roads there are narrow and cannot be kept clean. It is not logical to claim that roads cannot be cleaned daily. Municipal workers can be appointed to maintain basic cleanliness. Also, the problem of narrow roads can be resolved if they are widened. Traffic management can help reduce chaos caused by traffic. So, argument II does not sound logical.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.

Given Data:

Length of train A = 190 m

Length of train B = 195 m

Speed of train A = 50 km/h

Speed of train B = 76 km/h

Concept:

Time = Total Distance / Relative Speed

Calculation:

Total distance = Length of train A + Length of train B

⇒ 190 + 195 = 385 m

Convert the distance to km

⇒ Distance = 385 / 1000 = 0.385 km

Relative speed = Speed of train A + Speed of train B

⇒ 50 + 76 = 126 km/h

Time = Total Distance / Relative Speed

⇒ Time = 0.385 / 126

⇒ Time ≈ 0.00305 hours

Convert the time to seconds

⇒ Time ≈ 0.00305 × 3600 = 11 seconds

Therefore, they will cross each other in approximately 11 seconds.

Total Work (LCM of 4, 9) = 36 units.

Efficiency: B = 4, A = 9.

2-day cycle (B + A) = 4 + 9 = 13 units.

In 2 cycles (4 days), work done = 13 × 2 = 26 units. Remaining = 36 − 26 = 10 units.

Day 5 (B) does 4 units. Remaining = 6 units. Day 6 (A) takes 6/9 = 2/3 days.

Total time = 5 + 2/3 = 5(2/3) days.

∴ The correct answer is 5(2/3) days.

Alternate Method

Given: Time taken by A = 4 days, Time taken by B = 9 days.

Formula Used: Total Work = Efficiency × Time

⇒ Work starts with B on alternate days.

⇒ Day 1 (B): 4 units | Day 2 (A): 9 units.

⇒ Work in 1 cycle (2 days) = 4 + 9 = 13 units.

⇒ Work in 2 cycles (4 days) = 13 × 2 = 26 units.

⇒ Remaining work = 36 − 26 = 10 units.

⇒ Day 5 (B's turn): B completes 4 units. Remaining = 10 − 4 = 6 units.

⇒ Day 6 (A's turn): Time taken by A = Remaining work ÷ Efficiency = 6 ÷ 9 = 2/3 days.

⇒ Total time = 4 days + 1 day + 2/3 days = 5(2/3) days.

∴ The correct answer is 5(2/3) days.

Additional Information

Alternate Day Work

In alternate work, the sequence of workers matters. If the total work is not a multiple of the cycle sum, the remaining work is handled by the person whose turn follows.

Efficiency and Time

Efficiency is inversely proportional to the time taken to complete a task. Efficiency = Total Work ÷ Time.

LCM Method

Using the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of individual days as the Total Work simplifies calculations by avoiding fractions until the final step.

The correct answer is conservation of linear momentum.

Key Points

• The Jet engine works on the phenomenon of Conservation of Linear Momentum.
• It produces a large volume of gases through the combustion of fuel, which is allowed to escape in a backward direction through a jet.
• The backward rushing gas gains large momentum because of high velocity.
• It thus imparts an equal and opposite momentum to the jet engine.
• The jet engine, thus, moves forward at high speed.

Additional Information

• Momentum: Momentum is the product of the mass and the velocity of an object or particle. It is a vector quantity.
• The standard unit of momentum magnitude is the kilogram-meter per second (kg·m/s).
• P = m v
• Where P = momentum, m = mass of the body, and v = velocity of the body.
• Conservation of Linear Momentum: Conservation of Linear Momentum states that a body in motion retains its total momentum (product of mass and vector velocity) unless an external force is applied to it.

The logic followed here is :- First pair of letter-clusters → Reverse of first pair of letter-clusters.

Interest for 3 years (5 − 2) = Rs. 1080 − Rs. 900 = Rs. 180.

Interest for 1 year = Rs. 180 ÷ 3 = Rs. 60. Principal (P) = Amount after 2 years − (2 × Interest per year) = 900 − 120 = Rs. 780. Rate (R) = (Interest per year ÷ Principal) × 100 = (60 ÷ 780) × 100 = 7.69%.

∴ The correct answer is 7.69 percent.

Alternate Method

Given: Amount after 2 years (A₂) = Rs. 900, Amount after 5 years (A₅) = Rs. 1080.

Formula Used: Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100; Amount (A) = Principal (P) + SI.

⇒ Simple Interest for 3 years = Rs. 1080 − Rs. 900 = Rs. 180

⇒ Simple Interest for 1 year = 180 ÷ 3 = Rs. 60

⇒ Simple Interest for 2 years = 60 × 2 = Rs. 120

⇒ Principal (P) = Amount₂ − SI₂ = 900 − 120 = Rs. 780

⇒ Annual Rate (R) = (SI × 100) ÷ (P × T)

⇒ R = (60 × 100) ÷ (780 × 1) = 100 ÷ 13

⇒ R ≈ 7.6923%

∴ The correct answer is 7.69 percent.

Additional Information

Calculation of Rate

Rate (R) can be calculated using 100 × Interest ÷ (Principal × Time). Always ensure the interest and time period correspond to each other.

Nature of Simple Interest

In Simple Interest, the interest amount remains constant for every equal time interval, as it is always calculated on the original Principal.

Amount Relation

Amount (A) = P(1 + RT/100). If you have two different amounts for two time periods, the difference in amounts gives the interest for the difference in time.

Given:

The average of ages of P and Q is 24 years.

Average age of P, Q and R is 22 years.

Formula:

If average age of A and B after x years is y, present average age = y - x

Calculation:

Let the present ages be P, Q and R respectively.

(P + Q)/2 = 24

⇒ (P + Q) = 48      ----(i)

(P + Q + R)/3 = 22

⇒ (P + Q + R) = 66      ----(ii)

From above equation we only get the sum of ages but information is not available about time, like present age, after some years and before some years.

So, Data not sufficient.
