14 is related to 42 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 26 is related to 78. To which of the following is 47
related, following the same logic?
(
NOTE:
Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent
digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /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)
137
135
143
141
Correct answer
141
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number × 3) = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 14 : 42
⇒ (14 × 3) = 42.
For, 26 : 78
⇒ (26 × 3) = 78.
Similarly, for 47 : ?

15 : 195
11 : 143
13 : 169
12 : 152
Correct answer
12 : 152
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is: 1st number × 13 = 2nd number.
1) 15 : 195 → 15 × 13 = 195
2) 11 : 143 → 11 × 13 = 143
3) 13 : 169 → 13 × 13 = 169
4) 12 : 152 → 12 × 13 = 156 ≠ 152
Hence, the correct answer is "12 : 152".

28
Correct answer
30
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: 1st number + 11 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 45 : 56
⇒ 45 + 11 = 56.
For, 62 : 73
⇒ 62 + 11 = 73.
Similarly, for 19 ∶ ?
⇒ 19 + 11 = 30.

Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
After decoding signs:
| Signs | Decoded signs |
|---|---|
| + | - |
| - | + |
| × | ÷ |
| ÷ | × |
Given equation: 229 ÷ 41 + 502 × 2 − 44 = ?
After interchanging the signs then:
⇒ 229 × 41 - 502 ÷ 2 + 44 = ?
⇒ ? = 229 × 41 - 251 + 44 = ?
⇒ ? = 9389 - 251 + 44
⇒ ? = 9433 - 251 = 9182
Hence, the correct answer is "9182".
