The number of triangles in the given figure is shown below:

1. Total triangles = Number of parts × Number of diagonals

= 4 × 2 ⇒ 8

2. As marked there are a total of 8 triangles.

Thus, there are total (8 + 8) = 16 triangles.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Given word: SIMILAR

According to the question,

Thus, the new formed letter cluster → R J L J K B Q

Given: 116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150

According to the question, after interchanging the numbers:

Option 1) 116 and 92

116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150 ⇒ 92 - 116 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150

⇒ 92 - 116 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150

⇒ 92 - 29 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150

⇒ 92 + 50 - 20 - 29 = 150

⇒ 142 - 20 - 29 = 150

⇒ 93 ≠ 150 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) 25 and 20

116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150 ⇒ 116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 20 × 2 - 25 = 150

⇒ 116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 20 × 2 - 25 = 150

⇒ 116 - 23 + 20 × 2 - 25 = 150

⇒ 116 + 40 - 25 - 23 = 150

⇒ 156 - 25 - 23 = 150

⇒ 108 ≠ 150 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  3) 2 and 4

116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150 ⇒ 116 - 92 ÷ 2 + 25 × 4 - 20 = 150

⇒ 116 - 92 ÷ 2 + 25 × 4 - 20 = 150

⇒ 116 - 46 + 25 × 4 - 20 = 150

⇒ 116 + 100 - 20 - 46 = 150

⇒ 216 - 20 - 46 = 150

⇒ 150 = 150 (LHS = RHS)

Option  4) 20 and 92

116 - 92 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 20 = 150 ⇒ 116 - 20 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 92 = 150

⇒ 116 - 20 ÷ 4 + 25 × 2 - 92 = 150

⇒ 116 - 5 + 25 × 2 - 92 = 150

⇒ 116 + 50 - 92 - 5 = 150

⇒ 166 - 92 - 5 = 150

⇒ 69 ≠ 150 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is :-

From the given two different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As W is common on both the dices, it is clear that U, Y, V, and Z are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. X will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

U → V

Y → Z

W → X

So, the opposite side of "Z" will be side "Y".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: By interchanging *'*6 and 4' and checking the option:

Option 4) 72 - 6 + (18 ÷ 4) + 17 - (22 × 2) = 44

After interchanging '6 and 4':

⇒ 72 - 4 + (18 ÷ 6) + 17 - (22 × 2) = 44

⇒ 72 - 4 + 3 + 17 - 44 = 44

⇒ 92 - 4 - 44 = 44

⇒ 92 - 48 = 44

⇒ 44 = 44

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given series: DF_IJOD_HIJO_FHIJODF_IJOD_

Option 1) HFFDH→ DFHIJODFHIJOFFHIJODFDIJODH → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 2) FHDHF → DFFIJODHHIJODFHIJODFHIJODF → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 3) HFHDF → DFHIJODFHIJOHFHIJODFDIJODF → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 4) HFDHF → DFHIJODFHIJODFHIJODFHIJODF → (It follows the pattern of: DFHIJO - DFHIJO - DFHIJO - DFHIJO - DF)

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

(121, 93, 214)

121 + 93 = 214 

214 = 214 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(115, 87, 202)

115 + 87 = 202 

202 = 202 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (135, 117, 259)

135 + 117 = 259 

252 ≠ 259 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (110, 94, 224)

110 + 94 = 224 

204 ≠ 224 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) (84, 99, 189)

84 + 99 = 189 

183 ≠ 189 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) (97, 112, 209)

97 + 112 = 209 

209 = 209 (LHS = RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(97, 112, 209)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. Alternately one '

' element is replaced by '

' starting from the first box.

2) Alternately one '

' element is replaced by '

' starting from the second box.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is :-

From the given two different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As 8 is common on both the dices, it is clear that 3, 7, 2, and 9 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. 4 will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

3 → 2

7 → 9

8 → 4

So, the opposite side of "4" will be side "8".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The number of squares in the given figure is shown below:

Thus, there are total 13 squares.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Degree of intensity/quantity.

Here,

Presence : Abundance → Abundance is a higher degree of Presence.

Similarly,

Infinite : Cosmic → Cosmic is a higher degree of Infinite.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is :-

From the given three different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As K is common on both the dices I and III, it is clear that M, O, N, and L are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. P will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

M → N

O → L

K → P

So, the opposite side of "M" will be side "N".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: 15 × 9 + 7 ÷ 26 – 13 = ?

According to the question, after ‘÷’ and ‘–‘ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘+’ are interchanged:

15 × 9 + 7 ÷ 26 – 13 = ? 

⇒ 15 + 9 × 7 - 26 ÷ 13 = ?

⇒ 15 + 9 × 7 - 26 ÷ 13 = ?

⇒ 15 + 9 × 7 - 2 = ?

⇒ 15 + 63 - 2 = ?

⇒ 78 - 2 = ?

⇒ 76 = ?

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Decoding symbols:

Given: 5 − 2 × 4 ÷ 3

5 − 2 → 5 is the brother of 2.

2 × 4 → 2 is the wife of 4.

4 ÷ 3 → 4 is the father of 3.

Thus, 5 is 3's mother’s brother or maternal uncle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) EJM

Option 2) DIM

Option 3) FKN

Option 4) CHK

Thus, out of all the options, 'DIM' is the odd one out.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. All the elements shift clockwise including the center element.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
