Three persons A, B and C have different amounts of rupees with them. If A takes Rs. 12 from C, A will have equal amount as B has, A and B together have a total Rs 102. How many rupees does A have?
50
55
45
40
Correct answer
45
Why this answer is correct
Given:
A takes 12 from C.
A + 12 = B.........Eq (1)
A + B = 102.........Eq (2)
From the first condition, we know that B = A + 12.
Now, substitute the value of B into the second equation:
A + (A + 12) = 102
Combine the like terms:
2A + 12 = 102
2A = 102 − 12
2A = 90
A = 90 ÷ 2
A = 45
To verify, we can find the amount B has:
B = 45 + 12 = 57.
Therefore, the amount A has is Rs. 45.
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

1728
1331
2744
2917
Correct answer
2917
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is based on identifying perfect cubes of integers.
Checking the given options:
1728: (12)3 = 1728
1331: (11)2 = 1331
2744: (14)2 = 2744
4) 2917: 2917 is not a perfect cube of any integer.
Therefore, 2917 is the odd one out among the given options.
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Complete the following series. 11, 12, 16, 25, 41, 66 ______
102
94
106
108
Correct answer
102
Why this answer is correct
Logic followed here is,
11 + 12 = 11 + 1 = 12
12 + 22 = 12 + 4 = 16
16 + 32 = 16 + 9 = 25
25 + 42 = 25 + 16 = 41
41 + 52 = 41 + 25 = 66
66 + 62 = 66 + 36 = 102
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.
In the following questions, a mathematical equation is given. The equation is not correct under normal rules. You are required to choose the correct option that specifies the interchange of two signs and/or numbers which, when made in the equation, will make it mathematically valid. 18 - 8 ÷12 x 6 + 10 = 12
x, ÷, 12 and 6
+,-, 8 and 10
+,-, 6 and 8
x, -, 18 and 6
Correct answer
+,-, 6 and 8
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
Given equation:
18 - 8 ÷ 12 × 6 + 10 = 12
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) ×, ÷, 12 and 6
After interchanging × with ÷ and 12 with 6:
18 - 8 × 6 ÷ 12 + 10 = 12
LHS = 18 - 8 × 6 ÷ 12 + 10
= 18 - 48 ÷ 12 + 10
= 18 - 4 + 10
= 14 + 10
= 24
Since 24 ≠ 12, this option is incorrect.
Option 2) +, -, 8 and 10
After interchanging + with - and 8 with 10:
18 + 10 ÷ 12 × 6 - 8 = 12
LHS = 18 + 10 ÷ 12 × 6 - 8
= 18 + 5 - 8
= 23 - 8
= 15
Since 15 ≠ 12, this option is incorrect.
Option 3) +, -, 6 and 8
After interchanging + with - and 6 with 8:
18 + 6 ÷ 12 × 8 - 10 = 12
LHS = 18 + 6 ÷ 12 × 8 - 10
= 18 + 4 - 10
= 22 - 10
= 12
Since 12 = 12, this option is correct.
Option 4) ×, -, 18 and 6
After interchanging × with - and 18 with 6:
6 × 8 ÷ 12 - 18 + 10 = 12
LHS = 6 × 8 ÷ 12 - 18 + 10
= 4 - 18 + 10
= -14 + 10
= -4
Since -4 ≠ 12, this option is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
In the following questions, a mathematical equation is given. The equation is not correct under normal rules. You are required to choose the correct option that specifies the interchange of two signs and/or numbers which, when made in the equation, will make it mathematically valid.8 ÷ 2 - 6 x 4 + 3 = 13
÷ and +, 4 and 8
x and ÷ , 8 and 6
x and-, 2 and 6
Correct answer
x and ÷ , 8 and 6
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
Given equation:
8 ÷ 2 - 6 × 4 + 3 = 13
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) - and ÷, 6 and 4
After interchanging - and ÷, and 6 and 4:
8 - 2 ÷ 4 × 6 + 3 = 13
LHS = 8 - (2 ÷ 4 × 6) + 3
= 8 - 3 + 3
= 8
Since 8 ≠ 13, this option is incorrect.
Option 2) ÷ and +, 4 and 8
After interchanging ÷ and +, and 4 and 8:
4 + 2 - 6 × 8 ÷ 3 = 13
LHS = 4 + 2 - (6 × 8 ÷ 3)
= 4 + 2 - 16
= -10
Since -10 ≠ 13, this option is incorrect.
Option 3) × and ÷, 8 and 6
After interchanging × and ÷, and 8 and 6:
6 × 2 - 8 ÷ 4 + 3 = 13
LHS = (6 × 2) - (8 ÷ 4) + 3
= 12 - 2 + 3
= 13
Since 13 = 13, this option is correct.
Option 4) × and -, 2 and 6
After interchanging × and -, and 2 and 6:
8 ÷ 6 × 2 - 4 + 3 = 13
LHS = (8 ÷ 6 × 2) - 4 + 3
= 2.67 - 4 + 3
= 1.67
Since 1.67 ≠ 13, this option is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
