The given series is a combination of 2 series,

I) M, P, S, V

M + 3 = P;

P + 3 = S;

S + 3 = V;

II) E, H, ?, N

E + 3 =H;

H + 3 = K;

K + 3 = N;

Hence, “K” is the missing term in the given series.

The main function of heart is to circulate the blood.

Similarly, the main function of the kidney is Excretion of waste products from the body.

Hence, “Excretion” is the correct answer.

Hence, “18” is the correct answer.

Taking 1^st column,

1^st row + 3^rd row => 2 + 3 = 5 → (5)³ = 125 (which is the 2^nd row)

Similarly for 2^nd column,

1^st row + 3^rd row => 3 + 4 = 7 → (7)³ = 343 (which is the 2^nd row)

For 3^rd column,

1^st row + 3^rd row => 5 + 1 = 6 → (6)³ = 216 (which is the 2^nd row)

Hence, “1” is the correct answer.

The image is flipped horizontally

Hence, “Option 3” is the correct answer.

Here, the given body parts are to be arranged from top to bottom starting from Shoulder.

So, the arrangement will be:

Shoulder(3) > Elbow(4) > Wrist(1) > Palm(5) > Fingers(6) > Nails(2)

Hence, the correct meaningful order will be 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2.

Hence, the above figure will be the final figure.

Checking each option,

1. AEIMQ →

2. UYCGK →

3. DHLPT→

4. RVZDG →

Hence, “RVZDG” is the odd one among the following options.

The pattern follow here is,

X² : (X + 1)³;

Checking each option

1. X = 2,

2² : (2 + 1)³ → 4 : 27;

2. X = 4,

4² : (4 + 1)³ → 16 : 125;

3. X = 3,

3² : (3 + 1)³→ 9 : 64;

4. X = 7,

7² : (7 + 1)³ → 49 : 512,

Hence, “49:218” is odd one among the given options.

Let the age of Shipra be” x” and age of Malini be “y”.

As per statement given in question:

x + y = 65      ----(i) and

After 5 years,

Shipra = x + 5

Malini = y + 5

→ x + 5 = (y + 5) + 15

→ x = y + 15      ----(ii)

From both the equation (i) and (ii)

y + 15 + y = 65,

2y = 50,

y = 25,

and x = 40

Hence, Malini’s current age is “25 years”

In column 1,

(1^st row + 2^nd row)/2 = 3^rd row,

36 + 28 = 64/2 = 32,

Similarly in column 2,

52 + 40 = 92/2 = 46,

For 3^rd column,

86 + 12 = 98/2 = 49,

Hence, “49” is the correct answer.

A rainbow is made of seven colors viz: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.

All the colors given in options are present in Rainbow except Silver.

Hence, Silver is the odd word among the given options.

Statement I: All utensils are spoons

Statement II: All bowls are spoons

Conclusion I: No utensil is a bowl → False (It is possible but not definite)

Conclusion II: Some utensils are bowls → False (It is possible but not definite)

Conclusion III: No spoon is a utensil → False.

Here, Conclusion I and II makes complementary pairs.

Hence, “Either conclusion I or II follows” is the correct answer.

Hence, “VUZ” is the correct answer.

Here in 12 : 192,

12 : (12 × 16) → 12 : 192,

Similarly in 15 : ?

15 : (15 × 16) → 15 : 240,

Hence, “240” is the correct answer.

According to the question, V + U × Q – T + R + P × S can be decoded as V is sister of U, U is brother of Q, Q is daughter of T, T is sister of R, R is sister of P, P is brother of S.

Hence from the above arrangement, P is maternal uncle of V.

Dirty and Filthy both are synonym. Similarly, Shy and Timid are synonym.

Hence, Shy and Timid is the related pair.

Given expression: - 5 + 16 – 4 × 14 ÷ 2 = 59

1. Interchanging ÷ and –

Equation will become :- - 5 + 16÷ 4 × 14 - 2

= 5 + 4 × 14 – 2

= 5 + 56 – 2

= 59

2. Interchanging × and +

Equation will become :- 5 × 16 – 4 + 14 ÷ 2

= 80 – 4 + 7

≠ 59

3. Interchanging + and –

Equation will become :- 5 - 16 + 4 × 14 ÷ 2

= 5 – 16 + 28

≠ 59

4. Interchanging ÷ and ×

Equation will become :- 5 + 16 – 4 ÷ 14 × 2

= 5 + 16 – 0.57

≠ 59

Thus, interchanging “÷ and -” we get the correct answer.

The number 4 appears in 3 dice position i.e. 1^st 2^nd and 3^rdfrom which it is evident that 6, 2, 1, 5 are adjacent to it and cannot be opposite to number 4. From this we can conclude that number 4 faces number 3.

Similarly Number 6 appears in 2 dice position i.e. 1^st and 3^rd from which it is evident that 2, 4 and 5 are adjacent to it and cannot be opposite to number 6. Also, number 4 faces number 3. From this we can conclude that number 6 faces number 1.

From the above conclusions we can say that Number 5 will be facing number 2.

Hence, “2” is the correct answer.

According to given coding language,

Similarly for SYSTEMIC,

Hence, “SYSTEMIC” can be coded as “1925192051393”.

In the above series diamond is positioned at the sides (on the outer side) of the pentagon and is moving anti clockwise. Line is positioned at the side of the Pentagon (on the inner side) and is moving in clockwise direction.

Diamond is moving positions in increasing order consecutively i.e. in +1 in figure 2, +2 in figure three and +3 in figure 4. Hence, in figure 5 (missing figure) they will move + 4.

Line is shifting one position at a time.

Hence, the above figure is the correct answer.

The pattern follow here is,

114 + 13 = 127;

127 + 26 = 153;

153 + 39 = 192;

192 + 52 = 244;

244 + 65 = 309;

Hence, “309” is the next term of the given series.

If we look closely, figure is hidden in option figure 1 as shown below.

Hence, “Option 1” is the correct answer.

The pattern follow here is,

Similarly for DISTANCE,

Hence, DISTANCE can be coded as “TSIDECNA”.

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

Given, OM = 8 cm and Radius OB = 17 cm

In ΔOMB

Using Pythagoras theorem

⇒ (OB)² = (OM)² + (MB)²

⇒ 17² = 8² + (MB)²

⇒ MB = √(289 – 64) = 15

As we know, AB = 2 MB

AB = 2 × 15 = 30 cm

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is double the size of the angle subtended by the same arc at the circle circumference

Take any point Q on the circumference and join AQ and QC .

∴ ∠AOC = 2 × ∠AQC

⇒ ∠AQC = 1/2 × ∠AOC = 1/2 × 110° = 55°

Now, ∠CBP = ∠AQC [exterior angle of cyclic quadrilateral]

⇒ ∠CBP = 55°

sin² 32° + sin² 58° – sin30° + sec²60°

⇒ sin² 32° + sin² (90 – 32)° – 1/2 + 2²

⇒ sin² 32° + cos²32° – 1/2 + 4 [sin(90 – θ) = cos θ and sin² θ + cos² θ = 1]

⇒ 1 – 1/2 + 4

⇒ 5 – 0.5 = 4.5

Given, BP : PC = 4 : 11

Suppose BP = 4 unit and PC = 11 unit

BC = BP + PC = 4 + 11 = 15 unit

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

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

ar ΔABQ : ar ΔABC = BQ : BC

ar ΔABQ : ar ΔABC = 2 : 15

2sin θ = 5cos θ

sin θ/cos θ = 5/2

tan θ = 5/2

$\frac{{\sin \theta ; + ;\cos \theta }}{{\sin \theta - \cos \theta }}$

Divide by cos θ

$\frac{{\tan \theta ; + ;1}}{{tan;\theta - 1}}$

$\Rightarrow ;\frac{{\frac{5}{2}; + ;1}}{{\frac{5}{2} - 1}}; = ;\frac{{\frac{7}{2}}}{{\frac{3}{2}}}; = ;\frac{7}{3}$

According to the question

⇒ 480 × [75/100] × [(100 – x)/100] = 288

⇒ 360 × [(100 – x)/100] = 288

⇒ (100 – x)/100 = 288/360

⇒ 100 – x = (4/5) × 100

⇒ 100 – x = 80%

⇒ x = 100 – 80 = 20%

As we know,

⇒ (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2

Given, √x + 1/√x = √6

⇒ (√x + 1/√x)² = (√x)² + (1/√x)² + 2

⇒ [√6]² = x + 1/x + 2

⇒ x + 1/x = 6 - 2 = 4

⇒ (x + 1/x)² = x² + (1/x)² + 2

⇒ 4² = x² + 1/x² + 2

⇒ x² + 1/x² = 16 – 2 = 14

As we know,

Time is inversely proportional to speed.

Let the usual speed of the person be 9x

Speed of the person after decreasing = 7x

Ratio of usual speed to after decreasing = 9x : 7x

Ratio of usual time to after decreasing = 7x : 9x

9x – 7x = 10

⇒ x = 5

∴ 7x = 7 × 5 = 35 min

Alternate MethodLet the usual speed be 's' m/s, and the usual time taken is 't' min. Since the distance covered is the same in both cases, we can equate:

s × t =  7s/9 × (t + 10)

9t = 7t + 70

t = 35 min

As we know,

Difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 2 years formula,

Given, r = 15%, time = 2 years and P = x

⇒ Pr²/(100)² = difference

⇒ (P × 15 × 15)/100 × 100 = 9

⇒ P = 400

SP of each article = Rs. 962

CP of first article = 962 × [100/130] = 740

CP of second article = 962 × [100/74] = 1300

Total SP of both article = 962 × 2 = 1924

Total CP of both article = 740 + 1300 = 2040

Total Loss = 2040 – 1924 = 116

Loss percentage = [116/2040] × 100 = 5.7% (approx)

The correct answer is option 1.

The given sentence clearly states that the turtles' mate around 1000 kilometers from a place named Anjarle and the next line also mentions beach. So, option 1 is correct.

The correct answer is option 3.

Since the passage talks about turtles mating and the word lay has been used. Therefore, laying eggs can be the most appropriate.

So,option 3 is correct.

The correct answer is option 1.

First should be B as it gives an introduction to what Kanyakumari is. Next, it mentions more about its name. So, next will be D. As C contains the word also, it means that the previous sentence already describes the town. So, the correct sequence should be BDAC.
