Answer: (a)A.

50

Why this answer is correct

By using the BODMAS rule:

Decoding the given information:

AlphabetABCD
Meaning÷×+-

Given equation : 9 B 5 D 12 A 2 C 11 = ?

New equation after replacing the alphabets from signs: 9 × 5 - 12 ÷ 2 + 11 = ?

9 × 5 - 12 ÷ 2 +11 = ?

9 × 5 - 6 +11 = ?

45 - 6 + 11 = ?

56 - 6 = ?

50 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

Why this answer is correct

Rajesh's rank from first = 25th

Rajesh's rank from last = 35th

Total students = (Rank from Top) + (Rank from Bottom) - 1

Total students = 25 + 35 − 1

Total students = 60 –1

Total students = 59

Choose the alternative set whose numbers are related in the same way as the numbers in the set given below.

(

Note:

The entire operation has to be performed on the whole number itself, without dividing the numbers into their components. For example, in the case of 13, all the operations have to be performed on 13 itself. That is, addition/subtraction/multiplication etc. have to be done with 13 but 13 has to be divided into its components 1 and 0 and then no mathematical operations can be performed on 1 and 0.)
