View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

19

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 99 A 9 C 12 B 2 D 16 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘-‘ and ‘×' and '÷’ are interchanged, then:  99 ÷ 9 + 12 × 2 - 16 = ?

⇒ 99 ÷ 9 + 12 × 2 - 16 = ?

⇒ 11 + 24 - 16 =  35 - 16 = 19

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow. 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only conclusion (I) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

Some paintings are frame.

All frames are decoratives.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some paintings are decoratives.

Since some paintings are frames, and all frames are decoratives, the part of paintings that is frames must also be decoratives

II. All decoratives are frame. 

This is the converse of "All frames are decoratives." There can be decoratives that are not frames (e.g., statues or vases).

This is not necessarily true.

Only conclusion (I) is a definite logical consequence of the statements.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
