Logic: According to the given information, the symbols are mapped as follows:

 

Given Expression:

37 B 12 D 824 A 8 C 128 = ?

Replacing the letters with mathematical symbols, we get:

= 37 × 12 − 824 ÷ 8 + 128

Applying the BODMAS rule:

⇒ (37 × 12) - (824 ÷ 8) + 128 = ?

⇒ 444 - (824 ÷ 8) + 128 = ?

⇒ 444 - 103 + 128 = ?

⇒ 572 - 103 = ?

⇒ 69 = ?

∴  The value that comes in place of the question mark is 469.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

**Given

Statements:

**

All caves are houses.

All houses are dens.

All dens are mansions.

**Checking

Conclusions:

**

(I) All caves are mansions: Follows (because, All Caves are Houses.

All Houses are Dens and All dens are Mansion.So all caves are definitely mansions.)

(II) Some mansions are houses: Follows (because all houses are mansions. Therefore, some mansions are houses.)

Therefore, both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Logic followed here is:

2^nd number: (1^st number × 2) - 5

3^rd number: (1^st number × 2) + 8

For (9, 13, 26) →

Second number = (9 × 2) - 5 = 13

Third number = (9 × 2) + 8 = 26

 

For (7, 9, 22) →

Second number = (7 × 2) - 5 = 9

Third number = (7 × 2) + 8 = 22

  

Similarly, Option 2) (11, 17, 30):

Second number = (11 × 2) - 5 = 17

Third number = (11 × 2) + 8 = 30

∴ The related set is (11, 17, 30).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

Total students = 103

Z is 15^th from the right end.

Step 1: Find Z's position from the left

Position from left = Total students − Position from right + 1

= 103 − 15 + 1

= 89

So, Z is 89^th from the left.

Step 2: Find G's position

G is 36^th to the left of Z.

So,

89 − 36 = 53

Therefore, G is 53^rd from the left end.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number ÷ 2  =  2^nd number.

108, 54

⇒ 108 ÷ 2 = 54

78, 39

⇒ 78 ÷ 2 = 38​

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 12, 24

⇒ 12 ÷ 2  ≠ 24

Option 2) 65, 13

⇒ 65 ÷ 2  ≠ 13

Option 3) 96, 48

⇒ 96 ÷ 2 = 48

Option 4) 54, 18

⇒ 54 ÷ 2 ≠ 18

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 15 + 7 ÷ 7 × 48 − 2 + 23 × 4 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘ב and ‘-' and '÷’ are interchanged, then:

⇒ 15 × 7 - 7 + 48 ÷ 2 × 23 + 4 = ?

⇒ 105 - 7  + 24 × 23 + 4

⇒ 98 + 552 + 4 =  654

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) NGK

Option 2) TMQ

Option 3) QJN

Option 4) IBE

Here, 'IBE' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given

Statements:

Some guns are roses.

All roses are bats.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some guns are bats. 

Since some guns are roses, and ALL roses are bats, it is necessary that those specific guns are also bats. ⇒ Conclusion (I) follows.

II. All bats are roses.

The statement "All roses are bats" does not guarantee that all members of the larger set (Bats) are members of the smaller set (Roses). ⇒ Conclusion (II) does not follow.

So, Only conclusion (I) follows. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic:

GIRL → 5317

INKS → 2146

Common letter = I

Now, 

Common number = 1

Therefore, the letter I corresponds to the number 1.

Code for ‘I’ = 1

So, The Code for ‘I’ = 1

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given numbers: 2436857

Digits: 2, 4, 3, 6, 8, 5, 7

Newly formed arranged in sequence in Ascending order :

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Sum of the digits which are third from the left and second from the right:

Sum = 4 + 7 = 11 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'OJL' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Now,

MINK - IKNM - KNIM

PLOT - LTOP - TOLP

Let's check each Option One by One.

Option 1) TOES - OTES - SOET

 

Option 2) WAIT - AWIT - TAIW

 

Option 3) READ - RAED - DAER

 

Option 4) CORD - ODRC - DROC

So, Only CORD - ODRC - DROC  follows the pattern of given letter cluster.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "406" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given: (Left) ? 7 3 ? 2 5 3 ^ # + * @ 2 7 # & 5 2 * # 2 (Right)

Now, 

Symbols which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by a number

So, Needed pattern is: Number - Symbol - Number.

There is only 1 Symbol which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by a number

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
