Which two signs and numbers need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
11 and 2, ÷ and ×
22 and 88, ÷ and ×
11 and 2, + and ×
22 and 88, + and ×
Correct answer
11 and 2, ÷ and ×
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
The given equation is:
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
1) Interchange 11 and 2, ÷ and ×
New Equation: 17 + (22 × 2) – (88 ÷ 11) – 23 = ?
⇒ 17 + (22 × 2) – (88 ÷ 11) – 23
⇒ 17 + 44 – 8 – 23
⇒ 61 – 8 – 23
⇒ 53 – 23
⇒ 30
30 = 30 (Correct)
2) Interchange 22 and 88, ÷ and ×
New Equation: 17 + (88 × 11) – (22 ÷ 2) – 23 = ?
⇒ 17 + (88 × 11) – (22 ÷ 2) – 23
⇒ 17 + 968 – 11 – 23
⇒ 985 – 11 – 23
⇒ 974 – 23
⇒ 951 ≠ 30 (Incorrect)
3) Interchange 11 and 2, + and ×
New Equation: 17 × (22 ÷ 2) – (88 + 11) – 23 = ?
⇒ 17 × (22 ÷ 2) – (88 + 11) – 23
⇒ 17 × 11 – 99 – 23
⇒ 187 – 99 – 23
⇒ 88 – 23
⇒ 65 ≠ 30 (Incorrect)
4) Interchange 22 and 88, + and ×
New Equation: 17 × (88 ÷ 11) – (22 + 2) – 23 = ?
⇒ 17 × (88 ÷ 11) – (22 + 2) – 23
⇒ 17 × 8 – 24 – 23
⇒ 136 – 24 – 23
⇒ 112 – 23
⇒ 89 ≠ 30 (Incorrect)
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
A # B means ‘A is the sister of B’.
A @ B means ‘A is the son of B’.
A & B means ‘A is the husband of B’.
A % B means ‘A is the wife of B’.
If A # B % C @ D & E, then how is B related to E?
Son
Son-in-law
Mother
Daughter-in-law
Correct answer
Daughter-in-law
Why this answer is correct
| A is | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symbol | # | @ | & | % |
| Meaning | Sister | Son | Husband | Wife |
| of B |
Given Expression: A # B % C @ D & E
A # B: A is the sister of B.
B % C: B is the wife of C.
C @ D: C is the son of D.
D & E: D is the husband of E.
According to the given information Family Tree Representation:
Thus, B is the daughter-in-law of E.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"
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 copies are books.
Some pencils are copies.
No book is an eraser.
Conclusions:
I. No pencil is an eraser.
II. Some copies are not erasers.
III. Some pencils are books.
All conclusions follow
Only conclusions I and II follow
Only conclusions I and III follow
Only conclusions II and III follow
Correct answer
Only conclusions II and III follow
Why this answer is correct
The least possible venn diagram is:
Conclusions:
I. No pencil is an eraser → False(As, there is no direct relation betweeen them)
II. Some copies are not erasers → True(As, All copies are books, No book is an eraser. so, Some copies are not erasers holds true)
III. Some pencils are books → True(As, All copies are books, Some pencils are copies. so, Some pencils are books holds true)
Thus, Only conclusions II and III follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
(44 * 6) * 21 * 219 * (72 * 3)
+, ×, +, =, −
÷, +, =, +, ×
×, +, =, +, ÷
×, −, =, +, ÷
Correct answer
×, −, =, +, ÷
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
The given equation is:
(44 * 6) * 21 * 219 * (72 * 3)
1) +, ×, +, =, −
Equation: (44 + 6) × 21 + 219 = 72 − 3
⇒ 50 × 21 + 219 = 69
⇒ 1050 + 219 = 69
⇒ 1269 = 69 (Incorrect)
2) ÷, +, =, +, ×
Equation: (44 ÷ 6) + 21 = 219 + (72 × 3)
⇒ 7.33 + 21 = 219 + 216
⇒ 28.33 = 435 (Incorrect)
3) ×, +, =, +, ÷
Equation: (44 × 6) + 21 = 219 + (72 ÷ 3)
⇒ 264 + 21 = 219 + 24
⇒ 285 = 243 (Incorrect)
4) ×, −, =, +, ÷
Equation: (44 × 6) − 21 = 219 + (72 ÷ 3)
⇒ 264 − 21 = 219 + 24
⇒ 243 = 243 (Correct)
Hence, the correct combination of signs is "Option 4".
