But 5 is not in options. So 2 will be the code.

Hence, the correct answer is "2".

Given numbers: 3 and 7

1) 7 × 8 - 3 + 2 = 19

After interchange the numbers we get:

= 3 × 8 - 7 + 2 = 19

= 24 - 7 + 2 = 19

= 19 = 19

2)  7 + 3 × 4 - 6 = 25

After interchange the numbers we get:

= 3 + 7 × 4 - 6 = 25

= 3 + 28 - 6 = 25

= 25 = 25

3) 7 × 2 + 3 - 4 = 11

After interchange the numbers we get:

= 3 × 2 + 7 - 4 = 11

= 6 + 7 - 4 = 11

= 13 - 4 = 11

= 9 ≠ 11

So, option 3 will be not correct.

4) 8 + 7 - 3 = 4

After interchange the numbers we get:

= 8 + 3 - 7 = 4

= 11 - 7 = 4

= 4 = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "7 × 2 + 3 - 4 = 11".

Family Chart:

Given: A is the husband of B. B is the sister of C. C is the mother of D. D is the brother of E. E is the wife of F. F is the father of G.

So, D is 'Wife's brother' of F.

Hence, the correct answer is "Wife's brother".

The correct Dictionary order is:

5. Shred
6. Shriek
7. Shrimp
8. Shrink
9. Shrug

So, the  word 'Shrimp' will come at Third' position.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "IJ".

The logic followed here is:

• Dark dot shifts in anticlockwise inside the circle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

For find the opposite surface of 'B', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,

Now, letter 'B' is given in Dice 2 and Dice 3, 

So, From Dice 2 and Dice 3,

 

From both dices, A and E are common.

So, the remaining 'F' will be the opposite face of 'B'.

Hence, the correct answer is "F".

According to the given information:

Eight boys A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a row facing towards the south.

A and H are at extreme ends of the row.

E and F are immediate neighbours of B.

C is fourth to the left of B.

F is to the immediate left of A.

D is not the immediate neighbour of C.

Thus, B is sitting on the immediate left of F.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".

The logic followed here is:

Let R = +; S = -; T = ×

49 R 15 S 18 T 8 = -80

⇒ 49 + 15 - 18 × 8 = -80

⇒ 49 + 15 - 144 = -80

⇒ 64 - 144 = -80

⇒ -80 = -80

= 99 R 80 S 17 T 5 = 94,

⇒ 99 + 80 - 17 × 5 = 94,

⇒ 99 + 80 - 85 = 94,

⇒ 179 - 85 = 94,

⇒ 94 = 94

Then 85 R 30 S 15 T 4 = ?

⇒ 85 + 30 - 15 × 4 = ?

⇒ 85 + 30 - 60 = ?

⇒ ? = 115 - 60 = 55.

Hence, the correct answer is "55".

Given:

Raju's marks = R

Raman's marks = M

Raju got 30 marks more than Raman: R = M + 30

Raju's marks were 60% of the sum of their marks: R = 0.60 × (R + M)

Formula Used:

R = M + 30

R = 0.60 × (R + M)

Calculation:

From the first equation:

R = M + 30

Substitute R in the second equation:

⇒ M + 30 = 0.60 × (M + 30 + M)

Simplify:

⇒ M + 30 = 0.60 × (2M + 30)

⇒ M + 30 = 1.2M + 18

⇒ 30 - 18 = 1.2M - M

⇒ 12 = 0.2M

⇒ M = 12 / 0.2

⇒ M = 60

Now, R = M + 30:

⇒ R = 60 + 30

⇒ R = 90

The marks obtained by Raju and Raman are 90 and 60 respectively.

Given:

35% of the marked price (MP) = 45% of the cost price (CP)

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = [(Marked Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price] × 100

Calculation:

Let the marked price be MP and the cost price be CP.

35% of MP = 45% of CP

⇒ 0.35 × MP = 0.45 × CP

⇒ MP / CP = 0.45 / 0.35

⇒ MP / CP = 9 / 7

⇒ MP = (9/7) × CP

Profit = MP - CP = (9/7) × CP - CP

Profit = (9CP - 7CP) / 7

Profit = 2CP / 7

Profit Percentage = (Profit / CP) × 100

Profit Percentage = (2CP / 7CP) × 100

Profit Percentage = 200 / 7

Profit Percentage = 28.57%

The profit percentage is 28.57%, which corresponds to option 1.

Given:

Principal (P) = Sum of money

Amount (A) = 3 × Principal (P) = 3P

Time (T) = 36 years

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T) / 100

Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)

Calculation:

Since Amount (A) = 3P, we can write:

3P = P + SI

Therefore, SI = 3P - P = 2P

We know that:

SI = P × R × T / 100

Substituting the values we get:

2P = P × R × 36 / 100

Dividing both sides by P:

2 = R × 36 / 100

⇒ R = 2 × 100 / 36

⇒ R = 200 / 36

⇒ R ≈ 5.55%

The rate of simple interest is 5.55 percent.

Shortcut Trick

Identify the Pythagorean triplet: For base 15 and height 8, the slant height l = 17 (since 8² + 15² = 17²).

Total Surface Area (TSA) = πr(r + l)

⇒ TSA = π × 15 × (15 + 17) = 15 × 32 × π = 480π

⇒ 480 × (22/7) ≈ 1508.57 cm².

∴ The correct answer is 1508.57 cm².

Alternate Method

Given: Radius (r) = 15 cm and Height (h) = 8 cm.

Formula used: Total Surface Area = πr² + πrl, where l = √(r² + h²).

⇒ Slant height (l) = √(15² + 8²)

⇒ l = √(225 + 64) = √289

⇒ l = 17 cm

⇒ Total Surface Area = π × r × (r + l)

⇒ TSA = (22/7) × 15 × (15 + 17)

⇒ TSA = (22/7) × 15 × 32

⇒ TSA = 10560 / 7

⇒ TSA ≈ 1508.57 cm²

∴ The correct answer is 1508.57 cm².

Additional Information

Given:

14 ÷ (2 × 2) + 5

Formula Used:

Perform operations inside parentheses first, then division, and finally addition.

Calculation:

Start with the expression inside the parentheses:

2 × 2 = 4

Now substitute back into the original expression:

14 ÷ 4 + 5

Next, perform the division:

14 ÷ 4 = 3.5

Finally, add the result to 5:

⇒ 3.5 + 5 = 8.5

The correct answer is 8.5 (option 1).

Given:

Selling price (SP) = Rs. 1430

Cost price (CP) = Rs. 1000

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = $\frac{(SP - CP)}{CP} \times 100$

Calculation:

Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = 1430 - 1000

⇒ Profit = 430

Profit Percentage = $\frac{430}{1000} \times 100$

⇒ Profit Percentage = 43%

The profit percentage is 43%.

Given:

Number 1: 6

Number 2: 29

Formula Used:

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a and b = (a × b) / Highest Common Factor (HCF) of a and b

Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 6 and 29 = 1 (since 6 and 29 are co-prime numbers)

Calculation:

LCM(6, 29) = (6 × 29) / HCF(6, 29)

LCM(6, 29) = (6 × 29) / 1

LCM(6, 29) = 174

HCF(6, 29) = 1

X = LCM(6, 29) = 174

Y = HCF(6, 29) = 1

X + 4Y = 174 + 4 × 1

X + 4Y = 174 + 4

X + 4Y = 178

The value of (X + 4Y) is 178.

Given:

Product of two numbers = 3375

HCF of the two numbers = 15

Formula Used:

Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM

Calculation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

Given: a × b = 3375

HCF(a, b) = 15

We know that:

a × b = HCF(a, b) × LCM(a, b)

⇒ 3375 = 15 × LCM(a, b)

⇒ LCM(a, b) = 3375 / 15

⇒ LCM(a, b) = 225

The LCM of the two numbers is 225.

Given:

A ∶ B = 7 ∶ 4

Formula Used:

Ratio (A + B) ∶ (A - B) = (7x + 4x) ∶ (7x - 4x)

Calculation:

Let A = 7x and B = 4x

A + B = 7x + 4x

A - B = 7x - 4x

⇒ A + B = 11x

⇒ A - B = 3x

Therefore, (A + B) ∶ (A - B) = 11x ∶ 3x

⇒ 11 ∶ 3

The value of (A + B) ∶ (A - B) is 11 ∶ 3.

Shortcut Trick

Profit = 20% → CP : SP ratio = 100 : 120 = 5 : 6

When Total Amount is constant, Quantity is inversely proportional to Price.

Quantity Ratio (Buy : Sell) = 6 : 5

Given: 6 units = 60 tables

⇒ 1 unit = 10 tables

Required tables to sell (5 units) = 5 × 10 = 50

∴ The correct option is C.

Alternate Method

Given:

Total CP of 60 tables = Rs. 14800

Required Profit% = 20%

Total SP to be received = Rs. 14800

Formula Used:

Selling Price (SP) per table = CP per table × (100 + Profit%) ÷ 100

Number of tables = Total SP ÷ SP per table

BUYING STAGE 60 Tables = 14800

+20% Profit

SELLING STAGE n Tables = 14800

Exp. = Rs. 14800 Rev. = Rs. 14800

Calculations:

⇒ Cost Price (CP) of 1 table = 14800 ÷ 60

⇒ Desired Selling Price (SP) per table to get 20% profit:

⇒ SP = (14800 ÷ 60) × (120 ÷ 100)

⇒ SP = (14800 ÷ 60) × 1.2

⇒ SP = 14800 ÷ (60 ÷ 1.2)

⇒ SP = 14800 ÷ 50

⇒ Since total SP received must be Rs. 14800:

⇒ Number of tables sold × (14800 ÷ 50) = 14800

⇒ Number of tables sold = 14800 × 50 ÷ 14800

⇒ Number of tables sold = 50

∴ The correct option is C.

Additional Information

Constant Expenditure Rule

When the total amount spent (CP) and total amount earned (SP) are the same, the ratio of quantities is the inverse of the ratio of prices: Quantity₁ × Price₁ = Quantity₂ × Price₂.

Profit and Loss Formulas

Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 | Loss % = (Loss ÷ CP) × 100. Always calculate profit or loss percentage on the Cost Price unless stated otherwise.

Marked Price and Discount

Selling Price = Marked Price − Discount. Discount percentage is always calculated on the Marked Price (MP).

Given:

Speed for one third of the journey = 22 km/hr.

Speed for one fourth of the journey = 33 km/hr.

Speed for the rest of the journey = 55 km/hr.

Formula Used:

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken

Calculation:

Let the total distance of the journey be d km.

Distance covered in first part = d/3

Distance covered in second part = d/4

Distance covered in the rest part = d - (d/3 + d/4)

Distance covered in the rest part = d - (4d + 3d) / 12

Distance covered in the rest part = d - 7d / 12

Distance covered in the rest part = 5d / 12

Time taken for the first part = (d/3) / 22

Time taken for the first part = d / 66

Time taken for the second part = (d/4) / 33

Time taken for the second part = d / 132

Time taken for the rest part = (5d / 12) / 55

Time taken for the rest part = 5d / 660 = d/132

Total time taken = d / 66 + d / 132 + d / 132

Total time taken = d(1/66 + 1/132 + 1/132)

Total time taken = d(2/132 + 1/66)

Total time taken = d(1/66 + 1/66)

Total time taken = d(2/66)

Total time taken = d / 33

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Average speed = d / (d / 33)

Average speed = 33 km/hr

The average speed for the whole journey is 33 km/hr.

Given:

R can complete the work in 15 days.

S can complete the work in 60 days.

They work on alternate days, and R works on the first day.

Formula Used:

Work done per day by R = 1/15

Work done per day by S = 1/60

Total work = 1

Calculation:

Work done in 2 days = (Work done by R in 1 day) + (Work done by S in 1 day)

Work done in 2 days = 1/15 + 1/60

⇒ Work done in 2 days = (4 + 1)/60

⇒ Work done in 2 days = 5/60

⇒ Work done in 2 days = 1/12

Let the total number of days be 2n (since they work on alternate days).

In 2n days, work done = n × (1/12)

Since the entire work is to be completed, we set the work done to 1.

⇒ n × (1/12) = 1

⇒ n = 12

Total number of days = 2n = 24 days

The whole work will be completed in 24 days.

Given:

Average of the first three numbers = 24

Average of the last three numbers = 29

Last number = 33

Formula Used:

Sum of the first three numbers = Average × 3

Sum of the last three numbers = Average × 3

Sum of the last three numbers = Second number + Third number + Last number

Calculation:

Sum of the first three numbers = 24 × 3

Sum of the first three numbers = 72

Sum of the last three numbers = 29 × 3

Sum of the last three numbers = 87

Sum of the last three numbers = Second number + Third number + 33

87 = Second number + Third number + 33

Second number + Third number = 87 - 33

Second number + Third number = 54

Sum of the first three numbers = First number + Second number + Third number

72 = First number + 54

⇒ First number = 72 - 54

⇒ First number = 18

The first number is 18.

Given:

Marked price of the article = Rs. 2280

Discount = 40%

Formula Used:

Selling Price = Marked Price - (Discount × Marked Price)

Calculation:

Discount amount = 40% of 2280

Discount amount = 40/100 × 2280

Discount amount = 0.4 × 2280

Discount amount = 912

Selling Price = 2280 - 912

Selling Price = 1368

The selling price of the article is Rs. 1368.

Given:

The amount becomes 3.24 times of itself in 2 years. We need to find the annual rate of interest.

Formula used:

The formula for compound interest is:

$A = P × (1 + \dfrac{r}{100})^t$

Where:

A = Final amount

P = Principal (initial amount)

r = Annual rate of interest (which we need to find)

t = Time in years (2 years)

Since the amount becomes 3.24 times of itself:

A = 3.24P

Calculations:

Step 1: Use the compound interest formula:

⇒ $3.24P = P × (1 + \dfrac{r}{100})^2$

Step 2: Cancel out P on both sides:

⇒ $3.24 = (1 + \dfrac{r}{100})^2$

Step 3: Take the square root of both sides:

⇒ $\sqrt{3.24} = 1 + \dfrac{r}{100}$

⇒ $1.8 = 1 + \dfrac{r}{100}$

Step 4: Solve for r:

⇒ $1.8 - 1 = \dfrac{r}{100}$

⇒ $0.8 = \dfrac{r}{100}$

⇒ r = 0.8 ×  100 = 80%

∴ The annual rate of interest is 80%.

Given:

The average of A and B is 30.

The average of B and C is 60.

Formula Used:

Average of two numbers, X and Y = (X + Y) / 2

Calculation:

From the given data:

(A + B) / 2 = 30

⇒ A + B = 60

(B + C) / 2 = 60

⇒ B + C = 120

We need to find the difference between C and A:

(B + C) - (A + B) = 120 - 60

⇒ C - A = 60

The difference between C and A is 60.

Given:

Expression to simplify: 18 ÷ (3 + 5) - 2

Formula Used:

Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Calculation:

First, solve the expression inside the parentheses:

3 + 5

⇒ 8

Next, divide 18 by the result of the parentheses:

18 ÷ 8

⇒ 2.25

Finally, subtract 2 from the result:

2.25 - 2

⇒ 0.25

The simplified result is 0.25.

Given:

If 60 is subtracted from a number, then the number becomes 85 percent of itself.

Calculation:

Let the number be x.

Equation: x - 60 = 0.85x

⇒ x - 60 = 0.85x

⇒ x - 0.85x = 60

⇒ 0.15x = 60

⇒ x = $\frac{60}{0.15}$

⇒ x = 400

The correct answer is option 4, 400.

Given:

Two numbers are in the ratio 49 : 64.

When increased by 10, the ratio becomes 54 : 69.

Formula Used:

Let the two numbers be 49x and 64x.

If both are increased by 10, then the new numbers are 49x + 10 and 64x + 10.

According to the given condition:

$\frac{49x + 10}{64x + 10} = \frac{54}{69}$

Calculation:

Cross-multiplying the equation:

⇒ 69(49x + 10) = 54(64x + 10)

⇒ 69 × 49x + 69 × 10 = 54 × 64x + 54 × 10

⇒ 3381x + 690 = 3456x + 540

Rearranging the terms:

⇒ 3381x - 3456x = 540 - 690

⇒ -75x = -150

Dividing both sides by -75:

⇒ x = 2

Therefore, the two numbers are:

49x = 49 × 2 = 98

64x = 64 × 2 = 128

The difference between the two numbers:

128 - 98 = 30

The difference between the two numbers is 30.

Given:

Three friends can build a wall in 5 days.

Formula Used:

Work = Number of friends × Days

Days required = Total work / Number of friends

Calculation:

Work done by three friends in 5 days = 3 friends × 5 days = 15 friend-days.

Now, with 5 friends:

Days required = Total work / Number of friends

⇒ Days required = 15 friend-days / 5 friends

⇒ Days required = 3 days

The correct answer is option 2.
