Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

W

Why this answer is correct

    ÷ and +

  2. BOption (b)

  3. COption (c)
    • and ×
  4. DOption (d)

    – and +

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

÷ and +

Why this answer is correct

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

BODMAS Table:

Let's check each option One by One:

Option 1) ÷ and +

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

114 + 17 × 4 – 33 = 149 

114 + 68 – 33 = 149 

182 - 33 = 149

149 = 149.

Option 2) ÷ and –

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 - 85 + 5 × 4 ÷ 33 = 149 

114 - 85 + 5 × 4 ÷ 33 = 149

114 - 85 + 5 × 0.12 = 149

114 - 85 + 0.60 = 149

114.60 - 85 = 149

29.60 ≠ 149.

Option 3) + and ×

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 ÷ 85 × 5 + 4 – 33 = 149 

114 ÷ 85 × 5 + 4 – 33 = 149 

1.34 × 5 + 4 – 33 = 149 

6.70 + 4 – 33 = 149

10.70 - 33 = 149

-22.29 ≠ 149. 

Option 4) – and +

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 ÷ 85 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149

114 ÷ 85 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149 

1.34 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149

1.34 - 20 + 33 = 149

34.34 - 20 = 149

14.34 ≠ 149.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 367

Bihar Jeevika 2025• Test

What will come in the place of '?' in the following equation, if '+' and '-' are interchanged and '×' and '÷' are interchanged?

300 + 242 × 11 - 15 ÷ 9 = ?

  1. AOption (a)

    324

  2. BOption (b)

    143

  3. COption (c)

    413

  4. DOption (d)

    341

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

413

Why this answer is correct

Here, we use the BODMAS table given below:

Given:

​⇒ 300 + 242 × 11 - 15 ÷ 9 = ?

After interchanging  '+' and '-' and '×' and '÷' →

​⇒ 300 - 242 ÷ 11 + 15 × 9

Apply BODMAS rule:

​⇒ 300 - 22 + 15 × 9

​⇒​ 300 - 22 + 135​

​⇒ 435 - 22 = 413

​⇒ '300 - 242 ÷ 11 + 15 × 9 = 413'

Here, the value of the equation is '413'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

Question 368

Bihar Jeevika 2025• Test

Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number.

    289

  4. DOption (d)

    441

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

361

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed is,

For 21 : 529

21 + 2 = 23

232 = 529

For 25 : 729

25 + 2 = 27

272 = 729

For 17 : ?

17 + 2 = 19

192 = 361

Hence, “361” is the correct answer.

Question 369

Bihar Jeevika 2025• Test

Three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

All T are P.

All C are P.

Some O are C.

Conclusions:

I. Some T are C.

II. Some P are T.

III. Some P are O.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion II follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusions II and III follow

  3. COption (c)

    Either conclusion I or II follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion I follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Both conclusions II and III follow

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

All T are P.

All C are P.

Some O are C.

Possible Venn diagram:

Conclusions:

I. Some T are C → False (It is not correct because there is no definite relation between them)

II. Some P are T → True (Since all T are P)

III. Some P are O → True (Since all C are P and some O are C)

Both conclusions II and III follow.

Hence, 'option 2' is the correct answer.
