Important Points

• Do not get tensed by the complexity of the figures.
• Carefully understand the structure of the given question figure.
• The embedded figure may not be of exact size. It may be small or big.
• Sometimes the rotation or reflection of the figures may be confusing.
• So think wisely before selecting the answer.

Given image is hidden in option number 4 as shown below, 

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Hence, there are 21 triangles in the given figure.

By interchanging ÷ and –

18 + 24 ÷ 6 × 6 - 3 = 18 + 4 × 6 - 3 = 18 + 24 - 3 = 39

By interchanging × and +

18 × 24 - 6 + 6 ÷ 3 = 18 × 24 - 6 + 2 = 432 - 6 + 2 = 428 ≠ 39

By interchanging + and –

18 - 24 + 6 × 6 ÷ 3 = 18 - 24 + 6 × 2 = 18 - 24 + 12 = 0≠39

By interchanging ÷ and +

$18 \div 24 - 6 \times 6 + 3 = \frac{3}{4} - 36 + 3 = \frac{3}{4} - 33 \ne 39$

Hence, by interchanging “÷ and -” we get correct answer.

Pattern followed is,

D + 6 = J

J + 5 = O

O + 4 = S

S + 3 = V

V + 2 = X

Hence, “O” is the correct answer.

Pattern followed is,

3 : 30 → 3³ + 3 = 27 + 3 = 30

Similarly,

4³ + 4 = 64 + 4 = 68

Hence, 68 is the correct answer.

If we look at 2^nd and 3^rd cube, + is common in both.

In 2^nd cube → “= and @” are adjacent to +.

In 3^rd cube → “! And $” are adjacent to +.

Only “*” face is remaining which is not adjacent to +.

Hence, “+” will be on the face opposite to “*”.

Pattern followed is,

$35 + ;\frac{{32}}{2} = 35 + 16 = 51$

$28 + ;\frac{{18}}{2} = 28 + 9 = 37$

Similarly,

$X + ;\frac{{14}}{2} = 47$

$X = 47 - 7 = 40$

Hence, 40 is the correct answer.

Pattern followed is:

Hence, “GIO” is the correct answer.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

'Similarity' and 'Difference' are antonyms of each other.

Similarly,

'Transparent' and 'Turbid' are also antonyms of each other.

Hence, 'Turbid' is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is:

Similarly,

Hence, “BBAVERTAIGNI” is the correct answer.

Correct order of bread making is,

Ploughing up the field → Sowing the seeds → Production of wheat → Wheat grinding → Dough making → Bread making

Hence, “1, 5, 3, 4, 6, 2” is the correct answer.

Hence, NLHDC is the correct answer.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct answer.

Vinayak’s father’s age = X

Vinayak’s age = Y

Sum of theirs ages is 50.

So,

X + Y = 5

By taking second condition,

$\left( {X; + ;5} \right) \times \frac{1}{5} = \left( {Y + 5} \right)$

X + 5 = 5Y + 25

X = 5Y + 20

Putting the value of X,

5Y + 20 + Y = 50

6Y = 30

Y = 5

Hence, Vinayak’s current age is 5 years.

The pattern followed is,

Accident can cause Injury.

Similarly,

Infection can cause Disease.

Hence, “Infection : Disease” is the correct answer.

C = 3, L = 12, I = 9, M = 13, A = 1, X = 24

CLIMAX → 312913124

Similarly,

R = 18, E = 5, S = 19, I = 9, G = 7, N = 14

RESIGN → 185199714

Hence, “185199714” is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is,

Star and rectangle both move by one place in anticlockwise direction.

Star is darkened in alternate image. Star will not be darkened in 5^th image.

Rectangle’s dark area is towards left in 1^st image, towards right in 2^nd image and so on, hence image 5 will have shading in right side.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is:

First column: 4³ + 5² = 89

Second column: 3³ + 4² = 43

Third column: 1³ + 2² = 5

Hence, the correct answer is 5

The least possible diagram is,

I. No owl is a crow → False (Possible but not definite)

II. All parrots are owls → False (Possible but not definite)

III. Some owls are crows → False (Possible but not definite)

Conclusion I and III both are false and complimentary.

Hence, either conclusion I or III Follows.

Rectangle = Woman

Pentagon = Entrepreneurs

Triangle = Mothers

The intersection of the rectangle and the pentagon which is outside of the triangle will be the answer.

Hence, “74” is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is,

4 : 65 → 4³ + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65

1 : 2 → 1³ + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

3 : 27 → 3³ + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28 ≠ 27

2 : 9 → 2³  + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

Hence, “3 : 27” is different from the rest.

Frustration is an emotion.

Hypertension, Diabetes, Anaemia are diseases.

Hence, Frustration is the odd one out.

Concept used:

The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 2 years is = (P × r²)/100² 

Where r = rate, P = principal

Calculation:

According to the question,

r = 7%, time = 2 years and P = x

⇒ (x × r²)/(100)² = difference

⇒ (x × 7 × 7)/100 × 100 = 24.50

⇒ x = 5000

∴ The correct answer is 5000

sec² 29° – cot² 61° + sin² 60° + cosec² 30

⇒ sec²29° – cot²(90° - 29°) + (√3/2)² + 2²

⇒ sec²29° – tan ²29° + 3/4 + 4 [tan(90 – θ) = cot θ and sec² θ – tan² θ = 1]

⇒ 1 + 3/4 + 4

⇒ (4 + 3 + 16)/4

⇒ 23/4

Number of passing students of college B in 2016 = 200 × 68/100 = 136

Number of passing students of college B in 2017 = 200 × 77/100 = 154

As we know,

Volume of sphere = 4/3 π r³

Radius of bigger sphere R = 4 cm

and radius of smaller sphere = 2 cm

Let x small spheres made by the bigger sphere.

According to the question

4/3 π r³ × x = 4/3 π R³

4/3 × π × 2³ × x = 4/3 × π × 4³

8 × x = 64

x = 8

According to the question

⇒ 960 × [75/100] × [(100 – x)/100] = 612

⇒ 720 × [(100 – x)/100] = 612

⇒ (100 – x)/100 = 612/720

⇒ 100 – x = (17/20) × 100

⇒ 100 – x = 85%

⇒ x = 100 – 85 = 15%

As we know,

⇒ (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2

Given, √x - 1/√x = 3√2

⇒ (√x – 1/√x)² = (√x)² + (1/√x)² – 2

⇒ [3√2]² = x + 1/x - 2

⇒ x + 1/x = 18 + 2 = 20

⇒ (x + 1/x)² = x² + (1/x)² + 2

⇒ 20² = x² + 1/x² + 2

⇒ x² + 1/x² = 400 – 2 = 398

Let AB is chord and point M is the midpoint of AB, O is the centre

Given, OM = 12 cm and OB = 13 cm

In ΔOMB

Using Pythagoras theorem

⇒ (OB)² = (OM)² + (MB)²

⇒ 13² = 12² + (MB)²

⇒ MB = √(169 – 144) = 5

Aw we know, AB = 2 MB

AB = 2 × 5 = 10 cm

⇒ (a – b)³ = a³ – b³ – 3ab (a – b)

Given, a – b = 5 and ab = 2

⇒ 5³ = (a³ – b³) – 3 × 2 × 5

⇒ (a³ - b³) = 125 + 30 = 155

Divisibility law of 8 ⇒ A number divisible by 8 if its last three digit is divisible by 8.

Divisibility law of 9 ⇒ A number divisible by 9 if sum of its digit is divisible by 9.

Sum of marks of girls = 72 × 24 = 1728

Average marks of boys = 54

Sum of marks of boys = 54 × 16 = 864

Total sum of marks of all class = 1728 + 864 = 2592

Average marks of whole class = 2592/40 = 64.8

Given:

cosec 4θ = sec (60° – 2θ)

Formula Used:

If cosec A = cosec B then A = B and vice-versa

if cosec A = sec B then A = 90° - B

Calculation:

cosec 4θ = sec(60° – 2θ),

⇒ cosec 4θ = cosec[90° – (60° – 2θ)] [cosec(90 – θ) = sec θ]

⇒ 4θ = 90° – 60° + 2θ

⇒ 2θ = 30°

∴ The value of θ is 15°.

Let the initial price of sugar be 100x.

Price of sugar after increased = 100x × [124/100] = 124x

Required percentage = [(124 – 118x)/124] × 100 = 4.8% (approx)

Given, 12 sin θ = 5 cos θ

⇒ sin θ/cos θ = 5/12

⇒ tan θ = 5/12

⇒ tan θ = Perpendicular/Base = 5/12

Using Pythagoras theorem

⇒ (Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

⇒ (Hypotenuse)² = 5² + 12²

⇒ (Hypotenuse) = √(25 + 144) = 13

⇒ sin θ + cos θ – cot θ

⇒ 5/13 + 12/13 – 12/5 [sin θ = P/H, cos θ = B/H and cot θ = B/P]

⇒ (25 + 60 – 156)/65

⇒ (-71)/65

Given: 

A person walks =  3/5 of the usual speed

The person reaches the office late by 20 minutes

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

When distance is constant

Time ∝ 1/Efficiency

Calculation:

As we know, time is inversely proportional to speed.

Let the usual speed of the person be 5x

Speed of the person after decreasing = 3x

Ratio of usual speed to after decreasing = 5x : 3x

Ratio of usual time to after decreasing = 3x : 5x

5x – 3x = 20

⇒ x = 10

3x = 10 × 3 = 30 min

∴ The usual time was 30 minutes.

Given:

ΔABC ~ ΔEDF,

AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, AC = 10 cm

ar(ΔABC) : ar(ΔDEF) = 4/9,

Concept:

ar(ΔABC)/ar(ΔEDF) = (BC/DF)²

Calculation:

8²/DF² = 4/9

⇒ DF² = 8² × 9/4

⇒ DF = 8 × 3/2 = 12 cm

Important Points

For ΔEDF :- ar(DEF) = ar(EDF) = ar(FDE) as the area is same for any order of vertices.

While writing the ratio of the area we can write the name of the triangle in any style but when we represent the triangles in terms of similarity and congruency we have to focus on names. i.e which side is similar or equal to which side of another triangle etc.

Given, BP : PC = 4 : 3

Let BP be 4 unit and PC be 3 unit

BC = BP + PC = 4 + 3 = 7 unit

If Q is the midpoint of BP, then BQ = QP

BQ = BP/2 = 4/2 = 2 unit

ar ΔABQ : ar ΔABC = BQ : BC      (as height will be same for both triangles)

ar ΔABQ : ar ΔABC = 2 : 7

Given, a + b + c = 7 and ab + bc + ca = 1

As we know,

⇒ a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c) [(a + b + c)² – 3(ab + bc + ca)]

⇒ 7 [7² – 3 × 1]

⇒ 7 (49 – 3)

⇒ 7 × 46

⇒ 322

SP of each article = Rs. 975

CP of first article = 975 × [100/130] = 750

CP of second article = 975 × [100/75] = 1300

Total SP of both article = 975 × 2 = 1950

Total CP of both article = 750 + 1300 = 2050

Total loss = 2050 – 1950 = 100

Loss percentage = [100/2050] × 100 = 4.9% (approx)
