I don’t fancy to go out this evening.

around a circular table at equal distances between them, with all facing the centre of
the table. If Q is sitting in the south-east, then in which direction is W sitting?

Accepted Answer

The friends are sitting in anticlockwise order. If Q is in the South-East, then moving anticlockwise, P would be to Q's immediate right. Following this pattern, W would be two positions anticlockwise from Q, placing W in the South-West direction.

Question 16

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the
* signs and balance the given equation.
54 * 36 * 12 * 18 * 24 * 24

Accepted Answer

We need to test each option by substituting the mathematical signs into the equation and checking if it balances. Option 2: 54 ÷ 36 × 12 - 18 + 24 = 24. Following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), 54 ÷ 36 = 1.5, then 1.5 × 12 = 18, then 18 - 18 + 24 = 24. This balances the equation.
