What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?

28 + 125 × 5 − 12 ÷ 3 = ?

  1. AOption (a)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

39

Why this answer is correct

Given: 28 + 125 × 5 − 12 ÷ 3 = ?

if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged

28 - 125 ÷ 5 + 12 × 3 = ?

 28 - 25 + 12 × 3  = ?

 28 - 25 + 36 = ? 39. Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

(

NOTE:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Answer: (c)C.

44

Why this answer is correct

  • Shekhar’s rank from the top = 7th
  • Shekhar’s rank from the bottom = 38th

To find the total number of students, we use the relation:

Total students=(Rank from top)+(Rank from bottom)−1

Total students = 7 + 38 −  1 

= 44.
