Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets.
(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (First number + Second number) × 3 = Third number.
(11, 8, 57)
(11 + 8) × 3 = 19 × 3 = 57. (Matches)
(13, 4, 51)
(13 + 4) × 3 = 17 × 3 = 51. (Matches)
Applying the Logic to Options
Option 1) (8, 6, 48)
(8 + 6) × 3 = 14 × 3 = 42. (Incorrect)
Option 2) (14, 8, 56)
(14 + 8) × 3 = 22 × 3 = 66. (Incorrect)
Option 3) (9, 7, 48)
(9 + 7) × 3 = 16 × 3 = 48. (Correct)
Option 4) (12, 9, 69)
(12 + 9) × 3 = 21 × 3 = 63. (Incorrect)
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
64 * 4 * 9 * 7 * 2 = 21
÷ - + x
x - + ÷
Correct answer
÷ - + x
Why this answer is correct
The BODMAS rule is as follows:
Given equation: 64 * 4 * 9 * 7 * 2 = 21
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) ÷, −, +, ×
Equation: 64 ÷ 4 - 9 + 7 × 2 = 21
Applying BODMAS:
⇒ 64 ÷ 4 - 9 + 7 × 2
⇒ 16 - 9 + 7 × 2
⇒ 16 - 9 + 14
⇒ 7 + 14 = 21
Since 21 = 21, this option is correct.
Option 2) ×, −, +, ÷
Equation: 64 × 4 - 9 + 7 ÷ 2 = 21
Applying BODMAS:
⇒ 64 × 4 - 9 + 7 ÷ 2
⇒ 256 - 9 + 3.5
⇒ 247 + 3.5 = 250.5
Since 250.5 ≠ 21, this option is incorrect.
Option 3) −, ×, +, ÷
Equation: 64 - 4 × 9 + 7 ÷ 2 = 21
Applying BODMAS:
⇒ 64 - 4 × 9 + 7 ÷ 2
⇒ 64 - 36 + 3.5
⇒ 28 + 3.5 = 31.5
Since 31.5 ≠ 21, this option is incorrect.
Option 4) +, ×, −, ÷
Equation: 64 + 4 × 9 - 7 ÷ 2 = 21
Applying BODMAS:
⇒ 64 + 4 × 9 - 7 ÷ 2
⇒ 64 + 36 - 3.5
⇒ 100 - 3.5 = 96.5
Since 96.5 ≠ 21, this option is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Select the figure from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Logic: The Triangle rotates 90° in the clockwise direction.
The circle changes colour from white to black and vice versa.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number pairs except one. Find that odd number pair.
33 : 9
25 : 7
49 : 13
43 : 11
Correct answer
43 : 11
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Logic: Second number × 4 - 3 = First number
Applying the logic:
Option 1) 33 : 9
(9 × 4) - 3
⇒ 36 - 3 = 33
This matches the first number (33).
So, this pair follows the logic.
Option 2) 25 : 7
(7 × 4) - 3
⇒ 28 - 3 = 25
This matches the first number (25).
So, this pair follows the logic.
Option 3) 49 : 13
(13 × 4) - 3
⇒ 52 - 3 = 49
This matches the first number (49).
So, this pair follows the logic.
Option 4) 43 : 11
(11 × 4) - 3
⇒ 44 - 3 = 41
This does not match the first number (43).
So, this is the odd pair out.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
DIVINE : ENIVID :: NATURE : ERUTAN :: PERSON : ?
ONRSEP
NORSEP
NOSREP
ONSREP
Correct answer
NOSREP
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
For: DIVINE : ENIVID
Also for NATURE : ERUTAN
Similarly, PERSON : NOSREP
So, PERSON is related to NOSREP.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Which two signs and numbers need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
(42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
42 and 39, + and −
42 and 6, + and −
13 and 3, + and −
13 and 4, ÷ and −
Correct answer
13 and 3, + and −
Why this answer is correct
The BODMAS rule is as follows:
Given equation: (42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
Let's check each option one by one.
Option 1) 42 and 39, + and −
Given: (42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
After interchanging the numbers and signs we get:
⇒ (39 × 13) – (6 × 4) + (42 ÷ 3) = 105
⇒ 507 – 24 + 14 = 105
⇒ 483 + 14 = 105
⇒ 497 ≠ 105
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) 42 and 6, + and −
Given: (42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
After interchanging the numbers and signs we get:
⇒ (6 × 13) – (42 × 4) + (39 ÷ 3) = 105
⇒ 78 – 168 + 13 = 105
⇒ -90 + 13 = 105
⇒ -77 ≠ 105
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) 13 and 3, + and −
Given: (42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
After interchanging the numbers and signs we get:
⇒ (42 × 3) – (6 × 4) + (39 ÷ 13) = 105
⇒ 126 – 24 + 3 = 105
⇒ 102 + 3 = 105
⇒ 105 = 105
LHS = RHS
This option makes the equation correct.
Option 4) 13 and 4, ÷ and −
Given: (42 × 13) + (6 × 4) – (39 ÷ 3) = 105
After interchanging the numbers and signs we get:
⇒ (42 × 4) + (6 − 39 ÷ 13) = 105
⇒ 168 + (6 - 3) = 105
⇒ 168 + 3 = 105
⇒ 171 ≠ 105
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
