The pattern followed here is:

 

Hence, '61' is the correct answer.

The logic is here is:

[(2^nd number) × (2^nd number + 3)] + 1 = 1^st number.

Now, follow the logic:

Option (1): 181 ∶ 12

[12 × (12 + 3)] + 1 = 12 × 15 + 1 = 180 + 1= 181 = 1^st number.

This option follows the pattern.

Option (2): 271 ∶ 15

[15 × (15 + 3)] + 1 = 15 × 18 + 1 = 270 + 1= 271 = 1^st number.

This option follows the pattern.

Option (3): 305 ∶ 16

[16 × (16 + 3)] + 1 = 16 × 19 + 1 = 304 + 1= 305 = 1^st number.

Let,

X is the passing mark

Y is the total marks.

Given:

1) Tiwari scored 25% marks and failed by 64 marks.

X – 64 = 25%Y -------- eq. (1)

2. He had scored 40% marks, then he would have secured 32 marks more than the pass marks.

X + 32 = 40%Y -------- eq. (2)

Subtract eq. (2) from eq. (1)

=> (X + 32) – (X – 64) = 40%Y - 25%Y

=> 32 + 64 = 15%Y

=> 96 = 15%Y

=> Y = 96 ÷ (15/100)

=> Y = (96 × 100) ÷ 15

=> Y = 9600 ÷ 15

=> Y = 640

Put the value of Y in eq. (1)

=> X – 64 = 25%× 640

=> X – 64 = 160

=> X = 160 + 64

=> X = 224

Hence, passing marks is “224”

Shortcut Trick

25% + 64 = 40% – 32

⇒ 15% = 96

⇒ 100% = (96/15%) × 100%

⇒ 100%  = 640

And, 25% = 160

Pass marks = 25% + 64

⇒ 160+ 64 = 224

Hence, passing marks is “224”

The logic followed here is:

Resistance : Ohm → The unit for resistance measurement is an ohm.

Similarly,

Angle : Radians → The unit for angle measurement is a radian.

Hence, ‘Angle : Radians’ is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Totally : Overall → Overall is a similar word of totally.

Similarly,

Out of Control : Unruly → Unruly is a similar word of Out of Control.

Hence, ‘Unruly’ is the correct answer.

The Logic here is as follows:

(1^st number) + (2^nd number)² = 3^rd number

In (697, 13, 866)

(1^st number) + (2^nd number)² 

= 697 + 13²

= 697 + 169 

= 866 = 3^rd Number

Now check the all options,

Option (1) (541, 14, 737)

(1^st number) + (2^nd number)² 

= 541 + 14²

= 541 + 196 

= 737 = 3^rd Number

Option (2) (747, 25, 1423)

= 747 + 25²

= 747 + 625 

= 1372 ≠ 3^rd Number

Option (3) (832, 8, 887)

= 832 + 8²

= 832 + 64 

= 896 ≠ 3^rd Number

Option (4) (651, 16, 940)

= 651 + 16²

= 651 + 256 

= 907 ≠ 3^rd Number

Hence, the correct answer is "(541, 14, 737)".

• If consonants place value has two-digit coded as the digit sum with each other.
• If consonants place value has one-digit coded as place value.

Step 2: Vowel’s coded as position number of vowel’s position like,

A = 1; E = 2; I = 3; O = 4; U = 5

Step 3: After being coded as a number the number is arranged in reverse order.

CALENDAR is coded as 91452313

Reverse order → 9 1 4 5 2 3 1 3

And,

FACEMASK is coded as 210142316

Reverse order → 2 10 1 4 2 3 1 6

Similarly,

SECURITY = ?

Reverse order → 7 2 3 9 5 3 2 10

Hence, 'SECURITY' is coded as "723953210".

The logic followed here is:

Step → 1^st number

Step → 2^nd number = 1^st number × (Difference of 1^st number digits)

Step → 3^rd number = 2^nd number × (Difference of 2^nd number digits)

For 25 ∶ 75 ∶ 150

Step → 1^st number = 25

Step → 2^nd number = 25 × (5 - 2) = 25 × 3 = 75

Step → 3^rd number = 75 × (7 - 5) = 75 × 2 = 150

Option 1 → 36 ∶ 108 ∶ 324

Step → 1^st number = 36

Step → 2^nd number = 36 × (6 - 3) = 36 × 3 = 108

Step → 3^rd number = 108 × (10 - 8) = 108 × 2 = 216 ≠ 324

Option 2 → 18 ∶ 126 ∶ 253

Step → 1^st number = 18

Step → 2^nd number = 18 × (8 - 1) = 18 × 7 = 126

Step → 3^rd number = 126 × (12 - 6) = 126 × 6 = 756 ≠ 253

Option 3 → 13 ∶ 26 ∶ 104

Step → 1^st number = 13

Step → 2^nd number = 13 × (3 - 1) = 13 × 2 = 26

Step → 3^rd number = 26 × (6 - 2) = 26 × 4 = 104

Option 4 → 29 ∶ 36 ∶ 72

Step → 1^st number = 29

Step → 2^nd number = 29 × (9 - 2) = 29 × 7 = 203 ≠ 36

Step → 3^rd number = 36 × (6 - 3) = 36 × 3 = 108 ≠ 72

Hence, the correct answer is "13 ∶ 26 ∶ 104".

Given:

X can complete half of the work in 20 days and Y can do one-fifth of the same work in 10 days.

X started the work and left after 8 days.

Concept used:

Work = Efficiency × time

Calculation:

X can complete half of the work in 20 days 

⇒ X can complete the work in 20 × 2 days = 40 days

Y can do one-fifth of the same work in 10 days 

⇒ Y can complete the work in 10 × 5 days = 50 days

Total work = LCM[40, 50] = 200

⇒ Per day Efficiency of X = 200/40 = 5 and  Per day Efficiency of Y = 200/50 = 4

Now, X started the work and left after 8 days ⇒ Work completed by X in 8 days = 5 × 8 = 40 

∴ Remaining work = 200 - 40 =160

Remaining work done by Y in 160/4 = 40 days

∴ Total number of days taken to complete the work = 8 + 40 = 48 days

Formula used:

Given:

The marked price of an article is Rs. 660.

A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% and still gets a profit of 10%.

Formula used:

CP : MP = (100 - discount%) : (100 + profit%)

loss% = [CP - SP]/CP × 100 

Calculation:

CP : MP = 80 : 110

⇒ CP/660 = 8/11

⇒ CP = Rs. 480

∴ If he sells it for Rs. 470 ⇒ SP = Rs. 470

⇒ loss% = [480 - 470]/480 × 100

= (100/48)%

= 2.08%

Given:

3x + 5y = 14 and xy = 6

Formula used:

(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab

Calculation:

(3x + 5y)² = (14)²

⇒ 9x2 + 25y² + 2 × 3x × 5y = 196

⇒ 9x2 + 25y2 + 30xy = 196

⇒ 9x2 + 25y2 = 196 - 30 × 6 

⇒ 9x2 + 25y2 = 16

Concept used:

Number = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

In such questions, we start from last

Calculation:

Let last quotient be 'x'

⇒ Last number = 7x + 5

Calculation:

3 sin2 A + 4 cos2 A - 3 = 0 ⇒ 3 sin2 A + 3 cos2 A + cos2 A - 3 = 0

⇒ 3 ( sin2 A + cos2 A) + cos2 A - 3 = 0

⇒ 3 + cos2 A - 3 = 0

⇒ cos2 A = 0

⇒ cos A = 0

⇒ A = 90° [∵ 0 ≤ A ≤ 90°]

⇒ cot A = cot 90° = 0

Given:

a2 + b2 + c2 + 48 = 8(a + b + c)

Calculation:

a2 + b2 + c2 + 48 = 8(a + b + c)

⇒ a2 - 8a + 16 + b2 - 8b + 16 + c2 - 8c + 16 = 0

⇒ (a - 4)² + (b - 4)2 + (c - 4)2  = 0

Now, sum of squares = 0 

⇒ each term is = 0

∴ a - 4 = 0 , b - 4 = 0 and c - 4 = 0

⇒ a = b = c = 4

∴ $\sqrt[3]{a^3-b^3+c^3}$ = $\sqrt[3]{4^3-4^3+4^3}$ 

= $\sqrt[3]{4^3}$ 

= 4

Given:

Given:

$\frac{\sec θ \ cosec θ}{2+\tan^2 θ+\cot^2 θ}$

Concept Used:

(tan θ + cot θ)² = 2 + tan2 + cot2 θ

Calculation:

(sec θ cosec θ)/(2 + tan² + cot² θ)

Using formula:

(sec θ cosec θ)/((tan θ + cot θ)2)

= $\frac{\frac{1}{cos θ × sin θ}}{\frac{sin^2θ + cos^2 θ}{ sin^2θ × cos^2θ}}$

= sinθ cosθ/(1)²

= sinθ cosθ

Shortcut Trick Formula Used:

1 + tan²θ = sec²θ 

1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

Calculation 

In the denominator, we can write,

⇒ 1 + tan2θ + 1 + cot2θ

⇒ sec2θ + cosec2θ

⇒ 1/cos²θ + 1/sin²θ 

⇒ (sin²θ+cos²θ)/(sin²θ × cos²θ) 

⇒ 1/(sin2θ × cos2θ) 

⇒ sec2θ × cosec2θ

Now using the numerator as well, 

⇒ $\frac{\sec θ \ cosec θ}{ sec^2θ × cosec^2θ}$

⇒ $1\over{secθ × cosecθ}$ 

= sinθ cosθ

Given:

x4 + x-4 = 47, x > 0

Formula used:

If x ²ⁿ + x-2n = k then xn + x-n = √(k + 2) and  xn - x-n = √(k - 2)

Calculation:

⇒ x² + x-2 = √(47 + 2) = √49 = 7

⇒  x + x^-1 = √(7 + 2) = √9 = 3 ----(A) and  x - x-1 = √(7 - 2) = √5 ----(B)

Adding (A) and (B), we get, x + x = 3 + √5

⇒ 2x - 3 = √5 

∴ (2x - 3)² = 5

Shortcut Trick

For two similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔQPR and Area(ΔABC)/Area(ΔPQR) = 4/9.

Ratio of corresponding sides = √(4/9) = 2/3.

From similarity ΔABC ~ ΔQPR, side BC corresponds to side PR.

∴ BC/PR = 2/3 ⇒ 10/PR = 2/3 ⇒ PR = (10 × 3)/2 = 15 cm.

∴ The correct answer is 15 cm.

Alternate Method

Given:

ΔABC ~ ΔQPR

Area(ΔABC) / Area(ΔQPR) = 4/9

AB = 18 cm, BC = 10 cm, AC = 12 cm

Formula Used:

If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of any two corresponding sides:

Area(Δ1) / Area(Δ2) = (Side₁ / Side₂)²

Calculations:

Since ΔABC ~ ΔQPR, the corresponding sides are (AB, QP), (BC, PR), and (AC, QR).

⇒ Area(ΔABC) / Area(ΔQPR) = (BC / PR)²

⇒ 4 / 9 = (10 / PR)²

Taking square root on both sides:

⇒ √(4 / 9) = 10 / PR

⇒ 2 / 3 = 10 / PR

⇒ 2 × PR = 10 × 3

⇒ 2 × PR = 30

⇒ PR = 30 / 2

⇒ PR = 15 cm

∴ The correct answer is 15 cm.

Given:

A bus covered 360 km in 6 hours

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/time

Calculation:

Usual speed of bus = 360/6 = 60 kmph

If it travels at one-fourth of its usual speed, its speed becomes 1/4 × 60 = 15 kmph

Time taken to cover 360 km with decreased speed = 360/15 = 24 hours

∴ Extra time taken to cover the same distance = 24 - 6 = 18 hours

Given:

The difference between the simple interest on a fixed amount for 7 years and on the same amount for 12 years is Rs. 2,500. 

Rate of interest = 10% p.a.

Formula used:

Simple Interest(SI) = Principal × Rate × Time × 1/100

Also, Simple Interest is same for each year.

Calculation:

The difference between the simple interest on a fixed amount for 7 years and on the same amount for 12 years is Rs. 2,500

⇒ SI for (12 - 7) years = Rs. 2500

⇒ SI for 5 years = Rs. 2500

⇒ SI for 1 year = Rs. 500

Putting values, we get, Rs. 500 = Principal × 10 × 1 × 1/100

∴ Principal Amount = Rs. 5000

Given:

A batsman in his 13^th inning makes a score of 97 runs, thereby increasing his average score by 5. 

Concept used:

Old average × old number + something = New average × new number

Calculation:

Let his old average (i.e. average till 12^th innings) be 'x' ⇒ New average is 'x + 5' [∵ Average increased by 5]

∴ x × 12 + 97 = (x + 5) × 13

⇒ 12x + 97 = 13x + 65

⇒ x = 32

∴ New Average = x + 5 = 32 + 5 = 37

Given:

Given:

Two numbers are in the ratio of 7 ∶ 4

If each number is increased by 12, then the ratio becomes 3 ∶ 2.

Calculation:

Let the two numbers be 7x and 4x

ATQ, (7x + 12) : (4x + 12) = 3 : 2

⇒ 14x + 24 = 12x + 36

⇒ 2x = 12

⇒ x = 6

∴ Sum of numbers = 7x + 4x = 11x = 11 × 6 =66

Given:

When an article is sold for Rs. 438, there is a loss of 27%

Formula used:

SP = [(100 - loss%)/100] × CP = [(100 + profit%)/100] × CP

Calculation:

SP of article = Rs. 438, loss = 27% ⇒ CP of article = 438 × 100/(100 - 27) = 438 × 100/73 = 600

Now, to gain 23%, it should be sold for Rs. 600 × (100 + 23)/100 = Rs. 738

The correct answer is Memory registers.

Key Points

• A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor or just processor.
• It is the electronic circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program.
• The CPU performs basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions in the program.
• This contrasts with external components such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized processors such as graphics processing units.
• Principal components of a CPU include: Control Unit, Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Memory Registers.

Additional Information

Control Unit:

• A control unit that orchestrates the fetching (from memory) and execution of instructions by directing the coordinated operations of the ALU, registers and other components.
• The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor.
• It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to the instructions that have been sent to the processor.

ALU:

• The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logic operations.
• In computing, an arithmetic logic unit is a combination digital circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers. This is in contrast to a floating-point unit, which operates on floating-point numbers.

Registers:

• Processor registers that supply operands to the ALU and store the results of ALU operations.
• A processor register is a quickly accessible location available to a computer's processor.
• Registers usually consist of a small amount of fast storage, although some registers have specific hardware functions, and maybe read-only or write-only.

Thus the Central Processing Unit (CPU) in a computer consists of Control unit, arithmetic logic unit, and memory registers.
