BODMAS Table:
The mapping of the letters to operators is as follows:
| Letter | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operator | ÷ | × | + | − |
**Given Equation:**10 B 3 D 45 A 9 C 2 = ? D 18
Replace the letters with their respective signs and using BODMAS rule,
⇒10 × 3 − 45 ÷ 9 + 2 = ? − 18
⇒10 × 3 − 5 + 2 = ? − 18
⇒ 30 − 5 + 2 = ? − 18
⇒ 30 + 2 − 5 = ? − 18
⇒32 − 5 = ? − 18
⇒27 = ? − 18
? = 27 + 18
? = 45
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
Refer to the given number series and answer the question that follows. Counting to be done from left to right only. All numbers are single-digit numbers only.
(Left) 9 2 3 1 4 5 6 8 5 4 3 2 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 9 8 3 4 5 2 6 8 2 (Right)
How many such odd digits are there, each of which is immediately preceded by an even digit and also immediately followed by an odd digit?
Two
One
None
Three
Correct answer
Two
Why this answer is correct
Given series: (Left) 9 2 3 1 4 5 6 8 5 4 3 2 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 9 8 3 4 5 2 6 8 2 (Right)
Required Condition: Even Digit - Odd Digit - Odd Digit
(Left) 9 2 3 1 4 5 6 8 5 4 3 2 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 9 8 3 4 5 2 6 8 2 (Right)
So, the total number of such odd digits is: 2.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Which of the following letter-number clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete?
HDZM 42 BYFR 36 VTLW 30 PORB 24 ?
JJXG 18
KJYH 18
JKYH 16
KKXG 16
Correct answer
JJXG 18
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Combining the results, the next cluster in the series is JJXG 18.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
NJ 9 is related to QN −9 in a certain way. In the same way, OR 13 is related to RV −5. To which of the following is VR 19 related, following the same logic?
YV 1
YX 6
CX 5
VZ 3
Correct answer
YV 1
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
NJ 9 is related to QN −9,
OR 13 is related to RV −5.,
Applying to the same logic,VR 19 related"
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
P is the sister of Q. Q is the brother of S. T is the father of X. X is the son of S. How is P related to X?
Sister
Mother
Mother's sister
Father's mother
Correct answer
Mother's sister
Why this answer is correct
The family tree diagram is,
Therefore, P is the sister of S, who is the mother of X → P is the Mother's sister of X.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
TNH
YSM
WOK
RLF
Correct answer
WOK
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
TNH,
YSM,
WOK,
RLF,
Therefore, the letter-cluster that is different from the others is WOK.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding / subtracting /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.)
7 - 14
45 - 90
12 - 34
70 - 140
42 - 82
8 - 17
Correct answer
70 - 140
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Second Number = First Number × 2
For the first set 7 − 14
⇒ 7 × 2 = 14
For the second set 45 − 90
⇒ 45 × 2 = 90
Similarly, applying the same logic to the options:
For 70 − 140
⇒ 70 × 2 = 140
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"
In a certain code language,
A ≤ B means ‘A is the father of B’,
A ≠ B means ‘A is the wife of B’,
A @ B means ‘A is the son of B’ and
A ~ B means ‘A is the sister of B’.
Based on the above, how is R related to O if 'R ≠ A @ N ≤ C ~ O'?
Wife's sister
Father's mother
Brother's wife
Wife
Correct answer
Brother's wife
Why this answer is correct
The family tree diagram is ,
Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree.
| Symbol | ≤ | ≠ | @ | ~ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Father | Wife | Son | Sister |
Given : R ≠ A @ N ≤ C ~ O
From the family tree, it is evident that A, C, and O are siblings and children of N. Since R is the wife of A, and A is the brother of O, R is the Brother's wife of O.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
