1. ×, ÷

Given equation: 16 × 96 + 3 - 45 ÷ 9 = 299

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 16 ÷ 96 + 3 - 45 × 9

= 0.16 + 3 – 405

= 3.16 – 405

= -401.84 ≠ R.H.S

2. ×, -

Given equation: 16 × 96 + 3 - 45 ÷ 9 = 299

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 16 - 96 + 3 × 45 ÷ 9

= 16 – 96 + 15

= 31 – 96

= -65 ≠ R.H.S

3) ×, +

Given equation: 16 × 96 + 3 - 45 ÷ 9 = 299

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 16 + 96 × 3 - 45 ÷ 9

= 16 + 288 – 5

= 304 – 5

= 299 = R.H.S

4. ÷, -

Given equation: 16 × 96 + 3 - 45 ÷ 9 = 299

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 16 × 96 + 3 ÷ 45 - 9

= 1536 + 0.067 – 9

= 1536.067 – 9

= 1527.067 ≠ R.H.S

Hence, ‘×, +’ is the correct answer.

All the options except 'option 3' are similar to each other.

The triangle in 'option 3' is facing towards west, while in other options it is facing towards east.

Hence, 'option 3' is the odd one out.

The logic is:

11 × 3 = 33

11 × 5 = 55

11 × 7 = 77

11 × 9 = 99

11 × 11 = 121

Hence, ‘55’ is the correct answer.

All options except 'starfish' are circular in shape, while 'starfish' is in the shape of a star.

Hence, ‘starfish’ is the odd one out.

The pattern followed here is:

According to the alphabetical positions of the letters,

ZINNIA = 73 → Z (26) + I (9) + N (14) + N (14) + I (9) + A (1) = 26 + 9 + 14 + 14 + 9 + 1 = 73

DAISY = 58 → D (4) + A (1) + I (9) + S (19) + Y (25) = 4 + 1 + 9 + 19 + 25 = 58

Similarly,

JASMINE → J (10) + A (1) + S (19) + M (13) + I (9) + N (14) + E (5) = 10 + 1 + 19 + 13 + 9 + 14 + 5 = 71

Hence, ‘71’ is the correct answer.

Let the present age of Sumitha be 'a' years.

According to question:

a + 15 = 4 (a - 3)

⇒ a + 15 = 4a - 12

⇒ 15 + 12 = 4a - a

⇒ 27 = 3a

⇒ a = 27/3

⇒ a = 9

So, the present age of Sumitha is 9 years.

Hence, ‘9’ is the correct answer.

1. ×, ÷

Given equation: 0.01 - 0.02 × 0.04 + 0.06 ÷ 0.03 = 0.07

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 0.01 - 0.02 ÷ 0.04 + 0.06 × 0.03

= 0.01 – 0.5 + 0.0018

= 0.0118 – 0.5

= -0.4882 ≠ R.H.S

2. ÷, -

Given equation: 0.01 - 0.02 × 0.04 + 0.06 ÷ 0.03 = 0.07

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 0.01 ÷ 0.02 × 0.04 + 0.06 - 0.03

= 0.5 × 0.04 + 0.06 - 0.03

= 0.02 + 0.06 – 0.03

= 0.08 – 0.03

= 0.05 ≠ R.H.S

3) ×, +

Given equation: 0.01 - 0.02 × 0.04 + 0.06 ÷ 0.03 = 0.07

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 0.01 - 0.02 + 0.04 × 0.06 ÷ 0.03

= 0.01 – 0.02 + 0.08

= 0.09 – 0.02

= 0.07 = R.H.S

4. ×, -

Given equation: 0.01 - 0.02 × 0.04 + 0.06 ÷ 0.03 = 0.07

After interchanging the signs, we get:

L.H.S = 0.01 × 0.02 - 0.04 + 0.06 ÷ 0.03

= 0.0002 – 0.04 + 2

= 2.0002 – 0.04

= 1.9602 ≠ R.H.S 

Hence, ‘×, +’ is the correct answer.

The logic is:

Badminton : shuttlecock → Shuttlecock is a lightweight conical object with a rounded often rubber-covered nose that is used in badminton.

Similarly,

Snooker : ? → A billiard ball is a small, hard ball used in cue sports, such as carom billiards, pool, and snooker.

Hence, ‘Billiard ball’ is the correct answer.

Let the present age of Sneha be 'a' years.

According to question:

a - 4 = 1/3 (a + 6)

⇒ 3 (a - 4) = a + 6

⇒ 3a - 12 = a + 6

⇒ 3a - a = 6 + 12

⇒ 2a = 18

⇒ a = 18/2

⇒ a = 9

So, Sneha is 9 years old now.

Hence, ‘9 years’ is the correct answer.

The logic is:

Hence, ‘119’ is the correct answer.
