Question 773

Delhi Police Head Constable 2025• General Intelligence

Some of the equations are provided below with symbols and mathematical relations you have to check which of the following combination is correct.

If the two signs, 'x' and ' ÷' are interchanged, which of the following will be correct?

  4. DOption (d)

    63 + 59 ÷ 4 x 8 = 171

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

14 + 9 ÷ 23 x 3 = 83

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Rule:

Given condition:

The signs × and ÷ are interchanged.

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) 14 + 9 ÷ 23 × 3 = 83

After interchanging × and ÷:

14 + 9 × 23 ÷ 3 = 83

LHS = 14 + (9 × 23 ÷ 3)

= 14 + (207 ÷ 3)

= 14 + 69

= 83

Since 83 = 83, this option is correct.

Option 2) 14 + 62 × 13 ÷ 31 = 38

After interchanging × and ÷:

14 + 62 ÷ 13 × 31 = 38

LHS = 14 + (62 ÷ 13 × 31)

= 14 + 147.85 (approx)

= 161.85

Since 161.85 ≠ 38, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) 11 × 12 ÷ 48 + 6 = 40

After interchanging × and ÷:

11 ÷ 12 × 48 + 6 = 40

LHS = (11 ÷ 12 × 48) + 6

= 44 + 6

= 50

Since 50 ≠ 40, this option is incorrect.

Option 4) 63 + 59 ÷ 4 × 8 = 171

After interchanging × and ÷:

63 + 59 × 4 ÷ 8 = 171

LHS = 63 + (59 × 4 ÷ 8)

= 63 + 29.5

= 92.5

Since 92.5 ≠ 171, this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 774

Delhi Police Head Constable 2025• General Intelligence

In each of the following questions, four words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and the fourth one is different. Choose out the odd one?

  1. AOption (a)

    Cloud

  2. BOption (b)

    Rain

  3. COption (c)

    Snow

  4. DOption (d)

    Hail

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Cloud

Why this answer is correct

Here,

Rain, Snow, and Hail are all different forms of Precipitation. Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity from Clouds to the Earth's surface.

While,

A Cloud is a visible mass of condensed water vapor or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Unlike the other three, it does not fall to the ground as a form of moisture; rather, it is the medium from which Rain, Snow, and Hail originate.

Therefore, Cloud is the odd one out because it is the source of the other three phenomena, which are all forms of precipitation.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.
