Given equation: 146 A 4 B 2 = 73 B ? A 8

Decoding the given information :

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

New equation : 146 A 4 B 2 = 73 B ? A 8

Calculation :

⇒ 146 + 4 × 2 = 73 × ? + 8

⇒ 146 + 8 = 73 × ? + 8

⇒ 154 = 73 × ? + 8

⇒ 154 - 8 = 73 × ?

⇒ 146 = 73 × ?

⇒ ? = 146 ÷ 73 = 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

So, '184' will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statements:

All dates are cashews.

All cashews are raisins.

Some raisins are almonds.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusion:

I. All almonds being dates is a possibility - True (No definite relation given between almonds and dates, so it can be possible).

II. All dates are raisins - True (All dates are cashews and All cashews are raisins, so All dates are raisins).

III. No cashew is an almond - False (No definite relation given between cashew and almond, so it can be possible only)

So, Only conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Given: Pointing at a man, Neeta said, “He is my son’s sister’s father’s mother’s husband.”

So, the man is 'Father-in-law' of Neeta.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

For, (12, 9, 4)

⇒ (√9 × 4)

⇒ 3 × 4 = 12.

For, (18, 9, 6)

⇒ (√9 × 6)

⇒ 3 × 6 = 18.

Similarly, for (12, 16, 3)

⇒ (√16 × 3)

⇒ 4 × 3 = 12.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Some Advertisement is broadcast in TV.

Some Advertisement is broadcast in Radio.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Javascript and Fortran both are Coding Language.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: A % B @ D + E ? C

It means: A is the Brother of B, B is the Daughter of D, D is the Father of E, E is the Husband of C.

Here, A is the 'Husband's Brother' of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Step I: The symbol 'Square' has shaded alternatively.

Step II: The symbol 'Triangle' is getting rotated 90 degree in anticlockwise direction and shifted one place in clockwise direction.

Step III: The symbol 'Hexagon' is getting shifted one place in clockwise direction.

So, the complete series will be:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

So, '85' will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Seven people P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a straight row, facing north.

1. Exactly three people are sitting to the left of U.

2. R is second to the left of U.

3. Q and V are immediate neighbours of R, such that Q is not an immediate neighbour of U.

4. T and P are not occupying either of the end seats.

5. T is second to the left of S.

Here, If P and Q swap their seats,

So, Q will sits **'**Second to the right of U' after swap the positions of P and Q.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Digit Sum of Sum of the opposite place value of the letters.

Now,

‘MAY’ is coded as '6’

Opposite of MAY is NZB

⇒ N(14) + Z(26) + B(2)

⇒ (14 + 26 + 2) 

⇒ 42 → 4 + 2 = 6.

For, ‘MET' is coded as '7’

Opposite of MET is NVG

⇒ N(14) + V(22) + G(7)

⇒ (14 + 22 + 7) 

⇒ 43 → 4 + 3 = 7.

Similarly, for ‘HIM’

Opposite of HIM is SRN

⇒ S(19) + R(18) + N(14)

⇒ (19 + 18 + 14) 

⇒ 51 → 5 + 1 = 6.

So, 'HIM' will be coded as '6'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given date: 10^th October 2021.

Now,

Till 2020 → 2000 + 20

⇒ 0 + 25 = 25 odd days.

And, till 10^th October

⇒ 31(Jan) + 28(Feb) + 31(March) + 30(April) + 31(May) + 30(June) + 31(July) + 31(Aug) + 30(Sep) + 10(Oct) = 283 odd days.

Total odd days → 25 + 283 = 308 days = 308/7 = 44 week and 0 odd days.

→ 0 represents Sunday.

So, 10^th October 2021 was Sunday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct dictionary order for the give words are:

5. Reaction
6. Reader
7. Realise
8. Reap
9. Rearrange
10. Reason

So, the correct sequence is '5, 3, 2, 4, 6, 1'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) FUGT

Option 2) PKQJ

Option 3) MONM

Option 4) JQKP

Here, 'MONM' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The correct answer is 221.

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

For, (8, 8, 128)

⇒ (8 + 8) × (8 + 8) ÷ 2

⇒ 16 × 16 ÷ 2

⇒ 16 × 8 = 128.

For, (11, 7, 162)

⇒ (11 + 7) × (11 + 7) ÷ 2

⇒ 18 × 18 ÷ 2

⇒ 18 × 9 = 162.

Similarly, for (7, 9, 128)

⇒ (7 + 9) × (7 + 9) ÷ 2

⇒ 16 × 16 ÷ 2

⇒ 16 × 8 = 128.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The image that completes the pattern is:

​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given

Statement:

P > D < R > A = X ≤ P = T

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) A = T → False (A = X ≤ P = T It gives A ≤ T)

(ii) R > X → True (R > A = X It gives R > X)

Here, Only conclusion II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, FLUTES : ULFSET

For, STRING : RTSGNI

Similarly, for VIOLIN : ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
