⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (3^rd number)² - 3 = 2^nd number; 

(2^nd number)2 - 3 = 1^st number.

Now,

For, (166, 13, 4)

⇒ 4² - 3 → 16 - 3 = 13,

⇒ 132 - 3 → 169 - 3 = 166.

For, (2113, 46, 7)

⇒ 72 - 3 → 49 - 3 = 46,

⇒ 462 - 3 → 2116 - 3 = 2113.

Similarly, for (481, 22, 5)

⇒ 52 - 3 → 25 - 3 = 22,

⇒ 222 - 3 → 484 - 3 = 481.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 13 ÷ 26 × 2 − 5 + 4 = 6

⇒ 0.5 × 2 − 5 + 4 = 6

⇒ 1 − 5 + 4 = 6

⇒ 5 - 5 = 6

⇒ 0 ≠ 6

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) + and −

Given: 13 + 26 × 2 − 5 ÷ 4 = 6

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 13 - 26 × 2 + 5 ÷ 4 = 6

⇒ 13 - 52 + 1.25 = 6

⇒ 14.25 - 52 = 6

⇒ -37.75 ≠ 6

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) × and −

Given: 13 + 26 × 2 − 5 ÷ 4 = 6

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 13 + 26 - 2 × 5 ÷ 4 = 6

⇒ 13 + 26 - 2 × 1.25 = 6

⇒ 13 + 26 - 2.5 = 6

⇒ 39 - 2.5 = 6

⇒ 36.5 ≠ 6

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 4) × and ÷

Given: 13 + 26 × 2 − 5 ÷ 4 = 6

After interchanging the signs we get;

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given equation: 6 ÷ 4 × 10 + 2 – 3 = ?

Decoding the given information :

Now, replacing the sign from left to right and using BODMAS rule, we get :

New equation : 6 × 4 - 10 ÷ 2 + 3 = ?

Calculation :

⇒ 6 × 4 - 10 ÷ 2 + 3 = ?

⇒ 6 × 4 - 5 + 3 = ?

⇒ 24 - 5 + 3 = ?

⇒ 27 - 5 = 22.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Geographic hierarchy from larger to smaller. 3. Asia → The largest geographic entity here, a continent.

1. India → A country within the continent of Asia.
2. South India → A region within the country of India.
3. Karnataka → A state within the region of South India.
4. Belgaum → A city within the state of Karnataka.

So, the correct sequence will be '3, 1, 4, 2, 5'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given equation: 77 A 23 B 2 A 25 D 5 = 8 B 32 D 4 ? 64

Decoding the given information :

Now, replacing the sign from left to right and using BODMAS rule, we get :

New equation : 77 + 23 × 2 + 25 ÷ 5 = 8 × 32 ÷ 4 ? 64

Calculation :

⇒ 77 + 23 × 2 + 25 ÷ 5 = 8 × 32 ÷ 4 ? 64

⇒ 77 + 23 × 2 + 5 = 8 × 8 ? 64

⇒ 77 + 46 + 5 = 64 ? 64

⇒ 128 = 64 ? 64

Here, ? replace '+'

⇒ 128 = 64 + 64

⇒ 128 = 128.

Hence, the correct answer is "A".

The image that completes the pattern is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number + (3^rd number × 2) = 2^nd number.

Now, For, (17, 31, 7)

⇒ 17 + (7 × 2) = 31.

For, (18, 40, 11)

⇒ 18 + (11 × 2) = 40.

Using the same logic, let's evaluate the given options:

1. (15, 3, 9) ⇒ 15 + (9 × 2) = 33 ≠ 3.
2. (18, 34, 7) ⇒ 18 + (7 × 2) = 32 ≠ 34.
3. (19, 38, 9) ⇒ 19 + (9 × 2) = 37 ≠ 38.
