Explanation :

Table of english alphabet positional value

According to above table

'YOUNGER' is written as 'AQWNECP'

Similarly,

'NUMBERS' is written as 'PWOBCPQ'

Hence, Option 4) is the correct answer.

Logic : Second number ÷ First number = Exactly divisible by number 

Given : 14 : 238 

238 ÷ 14 = 17

Option 1) 18 :  342

342 ÷ 18 = 19

Option 2) 18 :  651

651 ÷ 18 = 36.6

Option 3) 18 :  301

301 ÷18  = 16.7

Option 4) 18 : 405

405 ÷ 18 = 22.5

only 342 is divisible by 18

Hence, Option 1) is the correct answer.

Explanation :

Option1 ) MAGIC : AMGCI

Option 2) LOGIC : OLGCI

Option 3) FIRST : IFRTS

Option 4) CREST : RCT ES

Option 4) is the odd one out

Hence, CREST : RCT ES is the correct answer.

Explanation :

The figure that will replace the question mark(?) in the following figure series is shown below :

1. The above symbols are doing rotation and the symbols below the line are also doing rotation

The series is doing rotation so, the next figure in the series will be option 1)

Hence, Option 1) is the correct answer.

Explanation :

All are facing north

• M is to the immediate left of L.
• K is between O and M.

Case 1

Case 2

 

Case 2 is rejected because N is third to the right to K

So, the solution is

M house is exactly in the middle

Hence, Option 1) is the correct answer.

The figure that will replace the question mark(?) in the following figure series is shown below

The series is rotating horizontally so, the next figure in the series will be Option 4)

Hence, Option 4) is the correct answer.

**Explanation:**The length of D = 10 cm ( Given)

A = 10/2 cm ( A is half the length of D )

A = 5 cm

C =   5/2 cm (A is double the length of C )

C = 2.5 cm

E = 2.5 + 2 ( E is 2 cm longer than C )

E = 4.5

B = 5 + 4.5  cm ( B is equal to the lengths of A and E )

B = 9.5 cm

D > B > A > E > C

10 > 9.5 > 5 > 4.5 > 2.5

D has the longest pencil

Hence, D is the correct answer.

Explanation : When the paper is unfolded it will appear like

Hence, Option 4) is the correct answer.

Given : Z = Y > R = M and G > H = Z = Q

On combining Z = Y > R = M , G > H = Z = Q

1. G > Q

True ( G > H = Z = Q makes G > Q ) 

2. Q > R

True (Q = Z = Y > R makes Q > R ) 

3. R > Z

False (Z = Y > R = M doesn't make R > Z ) 

4. H = Y

True (H = Z = Y makes H = Y ) 

Hence, Option 3) is the correct answer.

Logic : Subtract the first two numbers with the second then multiply the difference with 2

13 - 4  = 9

and 9 x 2 = 18

49 - 24 = 25

and 25 x 2 = 50

87 -51 = 36 

and 36 x 2 = 72

Hence, 72 is the correct answer.

Explanation :

Interchanging the numbers and signs by using BODMAS rule,

Option 1) 15 and 35; × and ÷

15 + 35 – 4 ÷ 45×  5 = 98

15 + 35 - 0.444 = 98

50 - 0.444 = 98

49.56 ≠ 98 ( LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 35 and 45; × and –

45 + 15 × 4 - 35  ÷ 5 = 98

45 + 60 - 7 = 98

105 - 7 = 98

98 = 98 ( LHS = RHS )

Option 3) 35 and 45; + and –

45  - 15 + 4 × 35 ÷ 5 = 98

45 - 15 + 28 = 98

73 - 15 = 98

58≠ 98 ( LHS ≠ RHS) 

Option 4 ) 15 and 5; × and +

35 + 5 ×  4 - 45 ÷ 15 = 98

35 + 20 - 3 = 98

55 - 3 = 98

52 ≠ 98 ( LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, Option 2) is the correct answer.

Explanation: 

 

Hence, 88 m is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Q is twice as heavy as P.

Q = 2P

S is twice as heavy as Q

S = 4 P

R is half as heavy as T

R = 1/2 T

T is equally as heavy as Q.

T = Q

S is the heaviest among all five objects ( because S = 4, Q = 2, R = 1/2 )

Hence, S is the right answer.

Explanation :

Table of english alphabet positional value

According to above table

Hence, Option 3) is the correct answer.

Explanation :

CARE : HUDF

According to above english alphabet table

• C + 3 = F
• A + 3 = D
• R + 3 = U
• E + 3 = H

TOMB : EPRW

According to above table

• T + 3 = W
• O + 3 = R
• M + 3 = P
• B + 3 = E

Hence, Option 2) is the correct answer.

According to the given information the Venn diagram will be,

Let, Chess (C), Badminton (B) and n = total number of students in all

Thus, the total students participate in badminton = 45 - 17 = 28

Hence, the correct answer is '28'.

Given: Eatables, Bananas, Fruits 

As we know that, all the given are inter related to each other. Both bananas and fruits are eatables items. Also, banana falls into the category of fruits and fruits come under the category of eatables items. 

Thus, the Venn diagram representation is as follows:

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

The logic used here is:

Thus, the next number is 92.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

The symbols and their meaning used are:

According to the given information, the family tree is:

J + T % N % C * L * S

Thus, J is 'son-in-law' of S.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 2'

BODMAS rule:

Given: 44 * 32 * 8 * 16 * 3 * 0

First we will check all the options:

1) ×, +, –, ÷, =

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 44 × 32 + 8 - 16 ÷ 3 = 0

Using BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 44 × 32 + 8 - 5.33 = 0

⇒ 1408 + 8 - 5.33 = 0

⇒ 1410.67 = 0, is not possible

 

2) +, –, ×, ÷, =

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 44 + 32 - 8 × 16 ÷ 3 = 0

Using BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒  44 + 32 - 8 × 5.33 = 0

⇒ 44 + 32 - 42.64 = 0

⇒ 31.36 = 0, is not possible

 

3) +, ÷, –, ×, =

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 44 + 32 ÷ 8 - 16 × 3 = 0

Using BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 44 + 4 - 16 × 3 = 0

⇒ 44 + 4 - 48 = 0

⇒ 0 = 0, is possible

 

4) +, ×, –, ÷, =

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 44 + 32 × 8 - 16 ÷ 3 = 0

Using BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 44 + 32 × 8 - 5.33 = 0

⇒ 44 + 256 - 5.33 = 0

⇒ 294.67 = 0, is not possible

 

Thus, the combination of signs '+, ÷, –, ×, =' used to get the balance equation.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.
