  3. COption (c)

    One

  4. DOption (d)

    None

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

One

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

The problem asks us to compare the position of the digits in the original number with their positions after the number is rearranged in ascending order.

1. Original Number: 6243514

2. Arranging in Ascending Order:

The digits in the number are 6, 2, 4, 3, 5, 1, 4. When arranged in ascending order, they become 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6.

3. Comparison of Positions:

Position1234567
Original Number6243514
Ascending Order1234456
Unchanged?NoYesNoNoNoNoNo

The position of the digit '2' at the second position remains unchanged.

Diagrammatic Representation (Showing the single match):

Original Position 1Original Position 2Original Position 3Original Position 4Original Position 5Original Position 6Original Position 7
6243514
1234456
New Position 1New Position 2New Position 3New Position 4New Position 5New Position 6New Position 7
Only the digit '2' at position 2 matches: 2 ↔ 2

The position of only one digit (2) remains the same.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

All lions are tigers.

No lion is a cat.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some cats are lions.

Statement 2 says "No lion is a cat." This guarantees that there is zero overlap between the two categories.

Therefore, "Some cats are lions" is false.

II. Some tigers are lions. 

Statement 1 says "All lions are tigers.

" This is a Universal Affirmative statement, which logically implies the Particular Affirmative statement "Some tigers are lions."

Only conclusion (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

In the question, we need to add 2 to the first digit of each of the five three-digit numbers and then check how many of the resulting numbers have their first digit completely divisible by the second digit.

The given numbers are: 384, 673, 543, 236, 741

Operation: Add 2 to the first digit of each number.

Step-by-step analysis:

Original NumberFirst DigitSecond Digit (Divisor)New Digit (First Digit + 2)Check: Is the new first digit divisible by the second digit?
384383 + 2 = 55 ÷ 8? (No)
673676 + 2 = 88 ÷ 7? (No)
543545 + 2 = 77 ÷ 4? (No)
236232 + 2 = 44 ÷ 3? (No)
741747 + 2 = 99 ÷ 4? (No)

Among the resulting numbers, in 0 cases is the first digit completely divisible by the second digit.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
