Reasoning PYQs

Decoding signs:

Given: 100 Delta 5 Beta 10 Alpha 2 Gamma 3 = ?

100 Delta 5 Beta 10 Alpha 2 Gamma 3 = ? ⇒ 100 ÷ 5 - 10 + 2 × 3 = ?

⇒ 100 ÷ 5 - 10 + 2 × 3 = ?

⇒ 20 - 10 + 2 × 3 = ?

⇒ 20 + 6 - 10 = ?

⇒ 26 - 10 = ?

⇒ 16 = ?

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The faces opposite to each other are shown below:

⇒ As the alternate positions become opposite to each other, the remaining two faces become opposite to each other.

So, opposite pairs are:

1 → 3

4 → 6

2 → 5

Thus, '4' opposite to '6'.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Given:

Discount allowed = 10%

Final selling price of pen after discount = Rs. 45

Formula Used: Marked Price = Final Price / (1 - Discount Rate)

Let the marked price of the pen be → MM.

Discount rate = 10% = 0.1

Final Price = Marked Price × (1 - Discount Rate)

45 = M × (1 - 0.1)

45 = M × 0.9

M = 45 / 0.9

M = 50

The marked price of the pen is Rs. 50. Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
