4913
4096
9261
2195
Correct answer
2195
Why this answer is correct

4913 is 173, 4096 is 163, 9261 is 213.
Whereas, 2195 is not a perfect cube number.
Hence, '2195' is an odd one.
A group of alphabets are given with each being assigned a number. These have to be unscrambled into a meaningful word and correct order of letters may be indicated from the given responses.
| O | U | L | Y | T | A |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
234165
123654
315246
364125
Correct answer
364125
Why this answer is correct
Let’s check each option:
234165 → ULYOAT
123654 → OULATY
315246 → LOTUYA
4) 364125 → LAYOUT
Hence, ‘364125’ represents a meaningful word ‘LAYOUT’.
If ‘+’ means ‘–’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
41 ÷ 18 – 7 + 322 × 23 = ?
167
169
144
153
Correct answer
153
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed is:
Decoding the information,
| Symbol | + | - | × | ÷ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | - | × | ÷ | + |
Given the equation: 41 ÷ 18 – 7 + 322 × 23 = ?
After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,
= 41 + 18 × 7 - 322 ÷ 23
= 41 + 18 × 7 - 14
= 41 + 126 - 14
= 167 - 14
= 153
Hence, the correct answer is "153".
Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different.
8 : 104
12 : 146
5 : 65
11 : 143
Correct answer
12 : 146
Why this answer is correct
The logic is:
First number × 13 = Second number
Hence, ‘12 : 146’ is the odd one out.
Which of the following letter-clusters will replace the question mark (?) and complete the following letter-cluster series?
EE, GF, JH, OK, VO, ?
GT
GS
FU
FT
Correct answer
GT
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Logic: Addition of consecutive prime numbers in the first letter and addition of consecutive natural numbers in the second letter.
Here, 'GT' is the next term.
Hence, the correct answer is "GT".
Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
1, 24, 58, 125, 247, 446, ?
774
747
744
777
Correct answer
744
Why this answer is correct
The correct answer is option(3)
Here, the following logic is used
Therefore, '?' will be replaced by '744'.
Hence, the correct answer is option(3).
If 'A' stands for '÷', 'B' stands for '×', 'C' stands for '+' and 'D' stands for '-', what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
114 C 85 A 5 B 4 D 33 = ?
151
149
138
143
Correct answer
149
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 114 C 85 A 5 B 4 D 33 = ?
Decoding the given information :
| Symbol | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Means | ÷ | × | + | - |
Now, replacing the sign from left to right and using BODMAS rule, we get :
New equation : 114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 - 33 = ?
Calculation :
⇒ 114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 - 33 = ?
⇒ 114 + 17 × 4 - 33 = ?
⇒ 114 + 68 - 33 = ?
⇒ 182 - 33 = 149.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
There are seven row houses, M, N, O, P, Q, R and S, in a campus. They are not located in alphabetical sequence. P is not at any end. R is to the immediate right of P. S is third from the left. O is at the left end, M is second from the right. O is not with N. Where is Q located?
Third from the right
At the right end
Second from the left
Fourth from the right
Correct answer
Second from the left
Why this answer is correct
Seven houses: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S
S is third from the left.
O is at the left end.
M is second from the right end.
P is not at any end and R is to the immediate right of P.
There is only one consecutive vacant place for P and R.
The final arrangement will be as follows:
Q is located second from left end.
Hence, the correct answer is "Second from the left".
