View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

121

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Numbers = 1, 8, 27, 64, 121, 216

Formula used:

Perfect cube = n × n × n

Calculation:

1 = 1 × 1 × 1 = 13

8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23

27 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 33

64 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 43

121 = 11 × 11 = 112

216 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 63

All numbers except 121 are perfect cubes

∴ The odd number is 121.

  1. AOption (a)

    (17, P, #)

  2. BOption (b)

    (13, J, !)

  3. COption (c)

    (19, R, %)

  4. DOption (d)

    (23, V, @)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(13, J, !)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number - letter position = 1

(17, P) → 17 - 16 = 1 

(13, J) → 13 - 10 = 3 (odd one)

(19, R) → 19 - 18 = 1 

(23, V) → 23 - 22 = 1 

So, the odd one is (13, J, !).

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

Question 220

    121

  4. DOption (d)

    91

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

81

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The operation “@” is defined as a @ b = (a + b)²

2 @ 3 = (2 + 3)² = 5² = 25 

3 @ 4 = (3 + 4)² = 7² = 49 

Similarly, 4 @ 5 = (4 + 5)² = 9² = 81 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
