What comes in place of (?) in the figures given below.
42
40
32
30
Correct answer
30
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here:
The sum of the quotient of diagonally opposite numbers = Middle number
Given:
⇒ (65 ÷ 5) + (78 ÷ 3) = 13 + 26 = 39 = Middle number
Similarly,
⇒ (64 ÷ 4) + (112 ÷ 8) = 16 + 14 = 30 = Middle number
Hence, the correct answer is "30".
Directions
Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
I. Shyam is older than Lalu.
II. Monu and Nilesh are of equal age.
III. Zaheer is the youngest.
IV. Yogesh is younger than Nilesh.
V. Yogesh is older than Shyam.
Which statement(s) is/are not required to prove that Lalu is younger than Monu?
IV and V
III and V
III and IV
III only
Correct answer
III only
Why this answer is correct
As per the given information:
I. Shyam is older than Lalu.
Shyam > Lalu
II. Monu and Nilesh are of equal age.
Monu = Nilesh
III. Zaheer is the youngest.
Zaheer is the youngest of all.
IV. Yogesh is younger than Nilesh.
Nilesh > Yogesh
V. Yogesh is older than Shyam.
Yogesh > Shyam
Conclusion:
Monu = Nilesh > Yogesh > Shyam > Lalu > Zaheer
Here, only statement (III) is not required to prove that Lalu is younger than Monu
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".
In each of the four pairs of letter-clusters, the letters in the second term are a rearranged/ transformed form of the letters in the first term in a particular pattern. In which two pairs, has the transformation been done in the same way?
(A) BHLI -DPXR
(B) HJAF-DFAC
(C) XPNL- LKAH
(D) LHGF-XPNL
A and B
C and D
B and C
A and D
Correct answer
A and D
Why this answer is correct
The pattern follows here is:
(A) BHLI -DPXR
(B) HJAF-DFAC
(C) XPNL- LKAH
(D) LHGF-XPNL
As shown in the diagram, A and D follow the same pattern.
Hence, "A and D" is the correct answer.
In the following question a word is followed by five other words, one of which cannot be formed by using the letters of the given word. Find this word.
INTELLIGENCE
ENGINE
TELL
GENES
NICE
Correct answer
GENES
Why this answer is correct
Let’s check each option,
ENGINE → can be formed as INTELLIGENCE
TELL→ can be formed as INTELLIGENCE
GENES → cannot be formed as INTELLIGENCE (S is not present)
NICE → can be formed as INTELLIGENCE
Hence, “GENES” can’t be formed.
Hence, the correct answer is "option (3)".
In the question given below, there are three statements followed by two conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follow(s) from the given statements.
Statements:
Some bottle-gourd are Cabbage
All Capsicum are Cabbage
Some Cabbage are Cucumber
Conclusions:
I. Some Bottle-gourd are Capsicum
II. Some Cucumber are Cabbage
Either conclusion I or II follows
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Only conclusion II follows
Only conclusion I follow
Correct answer
Only conclusion II follows
Why this answer is correct
Least possible Venn diagram is,
Conclusion:
I. Some Bottle-gourd are Capsicum → Does not Follow (There is no direction relation between bottle-gourd and capsicum.)
II. Some Cucumber are Cabbage → Follow (Some Cabbage are Cucumber, so some cucumber are definitely cabbage.)
In the word ‘COMPLAINTS’, if all the letters in the word are arranged in ascending order as in the English alphabetical order from left to right. Then, how many letters in the word remains in the same position as in the original word?
None
One
Two
Three
Correct answer
None
Why this answer is correct
After the word are arranged in ascending order as in the English alphabetical order from left to right.
| Given word | C | O | M | P | L | A | I | N | T | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| After arrangement | A | C | I | L | M | N | O | P | S | T |
As we can see, there is No letter is remains in the same position as in the original word.
Hence, the correct answer is "None".
What value will come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions?
7.5% of 2920 + 12.5% of ? = 40.5% of 1000
1488
1856
1692
1312
Correct answer
1488
Why this answer is correct
Calculation:
7.5% of 2920 + 12.5% of ? = 40.5% of 1000
⇒ 75/1000 × 2920 + 125/1000 × ? = 405/1000 × 1000
⇒ 219 + 125/1000 × x = 405
⇒ 125/1000 × x = 186
⇒ x = 186000/125 = 1488
∴ The correct answer is 1488.
When will the hour and minute hands meet between 11 and 12?
11 hours 60 minute
11 hours \(21\frac{8}{11}\)minute
11 hours 21 minute
11 hours \(21\frac{9}{11}\)minute
Correct answer
11 hours 60 minute
Why this answer is correct
When hour hand and minute hand meet the angle between them is 0°.
The formula of the hour hand and minutes hand = 30 H ~ 11 M/2
angle is 0⁰.
0 = 30 × 11 - 11M/2
330 = 11M/2
660 = 11M
M = 660/11 = 60 m (here we take hour = 11)
The hour and minute hands meet at 11 hour and 60 minute between 11 and 12.
Hence, the correct answer is "11 hours 60 minute".
Select the option that is related to the figure in the same way that the second figure is related to the first figure.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
From 1st figure to 2nd figure,
When we rotate first figure 180°, we get second figure.
Similarly,
When we rotate 3rd figure 180°, we get fourth figure.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".
