    36

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

37

Why this answer is correct

According to the given information:

1)  Anamika is the 13th from the left side, and Mridula is the 17th from the right side.

=> The number of students in a row = Mridula's position from left + Mridula's position from right - 1.

=> Mridula's position from left = The number of students in a row - Mridula's position from right + 1.

=> Mridula's position from left = 67 - 17 + 1 = 51.

=> Students between Anamika and Mridula = Mridula's position from left - Anamika's position from left - 1.

=> Students between Anamika and Mridula = 51 - 13 - 1 = 37

Hence, the correct answer is "37".

Alternate MethodAccording to the given information:

1) Anamika is the 13th from the left side.

2) Mridula is the 17th from the right side.

3) There are 67 students in total.

12 + Anamika + 37 + mridula + 16 = 67 students

Hence, the correct answer is "37".

    196

  2. BOption (b)

    484

  3. COption (c)

    289

  4. DOption (d)

    121

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

484

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here is:

Given three-digit number :

196, 484, 289, 121

Given conditions:

Positions of the first and the second digits within each number are interchanged. 

The original given numberThe number obtained after interchanging first and second digits within each number
196916
484844
289829
121211

 

Thus the second-highest number after interchanging the first and the second digits within each number is 484.

Hence, the correct answer is "484".

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows-

Conclusion:

I. All apples are nuts. → True (as all apples are bananas and all bananas are nuts)

II. All grapes are nuts. → True (as all grapes are bananas and all bananas are nuts)

III. No nuts are bananas. → False (as all bananas are nuts; some nuts will definitely be bananas)

Hence, only conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Question 510

Bihar Jeevika 2025• Test

From a group of five three-digit numbers,

729 643 859 567 944

If the digits at unit’s place, tens place and at hundreds place are interchanged with each other randomly in such a way that new numbers are formed and including the mentioned above, then find out which of them has not divisible by 4?

  1. AOption (a)

    729

  2. BOption (b)

    643

  3. COption (c)

    859

  4. DOption (d)

    567

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

859

Why this answer is correct

So, first let us consider the total numbers which can be formed from an individual number,

(a) Following numbers can be formed from 729,

792, 297, 279, 972, 927

(b) Following numbers can be formed from 643,

634, 463, 436, 346, 364

(c) Following numbers can be formed from 859,

895, 598, 589, 985, 958

(d) Following numbers can be formed from 567,

576, 675, 657, 765, 756

(e) Following numbers can be formed from 944,

494, 449

Now, we have to see how many numbers are divisible by 4 in the individual group of numbers,

(a) In 729 : 792 and 972 are divisible by 4

(b) In 643 : 436 and 364 are divisible by 4

(c) In 859 : No number is divisible by 4

(d) In 567 : 576 and 756 are divisible by 4

(e) In 944 : 944 divisible by 4

So, the answer is 859, because it does not have any number divisible by 4.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘859’.
