'A + B' means 'A is the brother of B'
'A - B' means 'A is the mother of B'
'A × B' means 'A is the husband of B'
'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B'
If C ÷ M - S + K - T × Q, then which of the following statements is NOT correct?
K is the mother-in-law of Q.
S is the maternal uncle of T.
S is the father of Q.
M is the mother of K.
Correct answer
S is the father of Q.
Why this answer is correct
By decoding C ÷ M - S + K - T × Q, we get
C is sister of M, M is mother of S, S is brother of K, K is mother of T, T is husband of Q.
Using these relations, the family tree will be:
Now, let's check each option.
1) K is the mother-in-law of Q. : True
2) S is the maternal uncle of T.: True
3) S is the father of Q. : False
4) M is the mother of K. : True
Hence, S is the father of Q is the false statement.
Which two signs and two numbers should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
23 × 13 - 195 ÷ 17 + 40 = 366
23 and 40, × and -
23 and 17, × and ÷
13 and 17, × and +
13 and 17, + and -
Correct answer
13 and 17, + and -
Why this answer is correct
23 × 13 - 195 ÷ 17 + 40 = 366
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) 23 and 40, × and -
LHS
40 - 13 × 195 ÷ 17 + 23
= 40 -149.11 +23
= 86.11 = RHS
LHS = 336
Since, LHS ≠ RHS
Option 1) is not true.
Option 2) 23 and 17, × and ÷
23 × 13 - 195 ÷ 17 + 40 = 366
LHS
17 ÷ 13 - 195 × 23 + 40
= 1.30 - 4485 + 40
= - 4443.7
RHS = 336
Since, LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) is not true.
Option 3) 13 and 17, × and +
23 × 13 - 195 ÷ 17 + 40 = 366
LHS
= 23 + 17 - 195 ÷ 13 × 40
= 40 - 15 × 40
= 40 - 600
= 560
RHS = 336
Since, LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) is not true.
Option 4) 13 and 17, + and -
23 × 13 - 195 ÷ 17 + 40 = 366
LHS
= 23 × 17 + 195 ÷ 13 - 40
= 391 + 15 - 40
= 406 - 40
= 366
RHS = 366
Since, LHS = RHS
Option 4) is correct.
Hence, 13 and 17, + and - is correct.

Either conclusions 1 or 3 follows
Only conclusion 2 follows
Only conclusion 3 follows
Correct answer
Only conclusion 2 follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible diagrams based on the given statement is as follows:
Conclusions:
Hence, only conclusion 2 follows.
In a certain code language, 'BOTTLE' is written as '81' and 'PERSON' is written as '117'. How will 'BANANA' be written in that code language?
30
36
46
85
Correct answer
36
Why this answer is correct
Adding place values of all the letters of BOTTLE → 2 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 12 + 5 = 74
Now, adding place values first and last letters of BOTTLE to the above sum→ 2 + 5 + 74 = 81
Adding place values of all the letters of PERSON → 16 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 15 + 14 = 87
Now, adding place values first and last letters of PERSON to the above sum→ 16 + 14 + 87 = 117
Similarly,
In the word BANANA
Adding place values of all the letters of BANANA → 2 + 1 + 14 + 1 + 14 + 1 = 33
Now, adding place values first and last letters of BANANA to the above sum→ 2 + 1 + 33 = 36
Hence, code for BANANA is 36.
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
NOSTRIL : SONLIRT :: PASSAGE : ?
SAPEGAS
SPAEGAS
SAPEGSA

Correct answer
SAPEGAS
Why this answer is correct
If we observe the pattern in the given pair:
Similarly, if we apply the same logic in the word PASSAGE
Hence, SAPEGAS is the answer.
Select the correct combination of the mathematical signs to replace star symbols (*) in the below equation and thereby balance it.
36 * 14 * 17 * 396 * 18 * 252
+, -, ×, ÷, =
+, ×, -, =, ÷
+, ×, -, ÷, =
×, +, -, ÷, =
Correct answer
+, ×, -, ÷, =
Why this answer is correct
Given:
36 * 14 * 17 * 396 * 18 * 252
Let's check all the options one by one:
1) +, -, ×, ÷, =
36 + 14 - 17 × 396 ÷ 18 = 252
50 - 17 × 22 = 252
50 - 374 = 252
But, -324 ≠ 252
Hence, option 1) is false.
2) +, ×, -, =, ÷
36 * 14 * 17 * 396 * 18 * 252
36 + 14 ×17 - 396 = 18 ÷ 252
= 36 + 238 - 396 = 0.71
But, -122 ≠ 0.71
Hence, option 2) is false.
3) +, ×, -, ÷, =
36 * 14 * 17 * 396 * 18 * 252
36 + 14 × 17 - 396 ÷ 18 = 252
= 36 + 238 - 22 = 252
= 252 = 252
Hence, +, ×, -, ÷, = is the correct answer.
Select the correct alternative to indicate the arrangement of the following words in a logical and meaningful order.
3, 5, 1, 4, 2
3, 5, 4, 2, 1
3, 4, 5, 1, 2
3, 5, 4, 1, 2
Correct answer
3, 5, 4, 1, 2
Why this answer is correct
Kutub Minar (3) is situated in Delhi, Delhi (5) is a city of India, India (4) is situated in Asia, and Asia (1) is a part of World (2).
Hence, the logical order would be 3, 5, 4, 1, 2.
Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
| 16 | 27 | 7 |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | 8 | 7 |
| 121 | ? | 12 |
1
16
77
4
Correct answer
1
Why this answer is correct
If we observe the given table, we will get,
| 42 | 33 | 4 + 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | 23 | 5 + 2 |
| 112 | ? | 11 + 1 |
So, at the place of ? , 13 should be there.
Hence, 1 is the answer.
The mean weight of 8 students is 57 kg. The weight of each student is 55 kg, 49 kg, 57 kg, 63 kg, 68 kg, 52 kg, X kg and Y kg. What is the sum of X and Y?
116 kg
112 kg
110 kg
114 kg
Correct answer
112 kg
Why this answer is correct
As we know that,
Mean = (Sum of terms) / Number of terms
\(57= {55 + 49 + 57 + 63 + 68 + 52 + X + Y \over 8}\)
456 = 344 + X + Y
X + Y = 456 - 344
X + Y = 112
Hence, 112 is the answer.
