From the given information,

1) Rama is taller than Saho.

Rama > Saho

2) Tara is shorter than Saho.

Rama > Saho > Tara

3) Dinesh is taller than Tara but shorter than Saho.

Rama > Saho > Dinesh > Tara

4) Manoj is shorter than Dinesh.

5. Kailash is shorter than Tara but taller than Manoj.

Rama > Saho > Dinesh > Tara > Kailash > Manoj

So, the final arrangement is:

Rama > Saho > Dinesh > Tara > Kailash > Manoj

So, Manoj is the shortest.

Hence, the correct answer is "Manoj".

Given equation:

24 ___ 6 ___ 3 ___ 4 ___ 10 ___ 6

BODMAS Rule:

Substituting the signs and using BODMAS rule:

1) ÷, ×, =, +, +

24 ÷ 6 × 3 = 4 + 10 + 6

LHS:

24 ÷ 6 × 3

= 4 × 3

= 12

RHS: 

4 + 10 + 6

= 20

LHS ≠ RHS

2) ÷, ×, +, =, +

24 ÷ 6 × 3 + 4 = 10 + 6

LHS:

24 ÷ 6 × 3 + 4

= 4 × 3 + 4 

= 12 + 4

= 16

RHS:

10 + 6 

= 16

LHS = RHS

3) ÷, ×, -, =, ×

24 ÷ 6 × 3 - 4 = 10 × 6

LHS:

24 ÷ 6 × 3 - 4 

= 4 × 3 - 4 

= 12 - 4

= 8

RHS:

10 × 6

= 60 

LHS ≠ RHS

4) +, =, ÷, ×, +

24 + 6 = 3 ÷ 4 × 10 + 6

LHS:

24 + 6 

= 30

RHS:

3 ÷ 4 × 10 + 6

= 0.75 × 10 + 6

= 7.5 + 6

= 13.5

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "÷, ×, +, =, +".

The logic follows here is :

Second number = (Product of digits of the first number) ÷ 2.

2931 : 27

(2 × 9 × 3 × 1) ÷ 2 = 54 ÷ 2 = 27.

Similarly,

5142 : ?

? = (5 × 1 × 4 × 2) ÷ 2 = 40 ÷ 2 = 20.

Hence, the correct answer is "20".

The logic follows here is :

Place values of the alphabets are written in reversed order.

Similarly,

Thus, SPECIES will be written as 19-5-9-3-5-16-19.

Hence, the correct answer is **"**19-5-9-3-5-16-19".

Family Chart:

Family Tree:

Bheem is the maternal grandfather of Mala.

Hence, the correct answer is "Maternal Grandfather".

Arranging the given words as per they appear in the English dictionary :

4. Cucumber 2. Cumbersome 3. Curious 1. Curtains

The second word is Cumbersome.

Hence, the correct answer is "Cumbersome".

The pattern follows here is :

Hence, the correct answer is "FM".

The logic follows here is :

Hence, the correct answer is "313".

The logic follows here is :

Sum of squares of first four numbers = Fifth number (In a row).

Row 1 : 5, 6, 2, 4, 81

5² + 6² + 2² + 4² = 25 + 36 + 4 + 16 = 81.

Row 2 : 1, 3, 2, 4, ?

? = 1² + 3² + 2² + 4² 

? = 1 + 9 + 4 + 16

? = 30.

Row 3 : 2, 3, 1, 5, 39.

2² + 3² + 1² + 5² = 4 + 9 + 1 + 25 = 39.

Hence, the correct answer is "30".

Let the purchasing value of the product 3 years ago = P.

Depreciation rate = 20% every year.

Time = 3 years.

Equivalent depreciation rate for 3 years :

Equivalent rate for 2 years = (20 + 20) - {(20 × 20) ÷ 100}

= 40 - (400 ÷ 100)

= 40 - 4 = 36%.

Equivalent rate of 36% and 20% = (36 + 20) - {(36 × 20) ÷ 100}

= 56 - (720 ÷ 100)

= 56 - 7.2 = 48.8%.

Thus, the product value has been depriciated by 48.8% in 3 years.

Remaining value = 100 - 48.8 = 51.2%.

Given that-

Present value = Rs. 10,000.

51.2% of P = 10,000.

(51.2 ÷ 100) × P = 10,000

0.512 × P = 10,000

P = 10,000 ÷ 0.512

P = 19531.25 ~ 19531

Thus, the value of the product 3 years ago was Rs. 19531.

Hence, the correct answer is "19531".

The logic follows here is :

Some Men are Writers and some Men are Soldiers.

Some Soldiers are Writers.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given set of words will be :

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".

Family Chart:

Family Tree:

Caroline is the Niece of Aron.

Hence, the correct answer is "Niece".

Arranging the students according to the time taken :

A finished his exam before B.

A < B

A finished his exam after C.

A > C

D finished his exam before E.

D < E

D finished his exam after B.

D > B

The final arrangement will be :

E > D > B > A > C

The Least time is taken by C.

Thus, C completed the exam first among others.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".

The logic follows here :

[(First term)² + (Second term)² ]/2 = Third term (In a row).

Row 1 : 6, 4, 26

[(6)² + (4)²]/2 = 26

Row 2 : 3, 7, 29

[(3)2 + (7)2]/2 = 29

Row 3 : 2, 6, ?

[(2)2 + (6)2]/2 = 20

Hence, the correct answer is "20.

The logic follows here is:

Each image is rotating 90° anticlockwise direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The logic follows here is:

Each letter is decreasing by 3.

So., 'BYT' is odd one.

Hence, the correct answer is "BYT".
