immediate right of Prince. Naitik and Krish are not sitting to the immediate left or right
of Vishal. Vishal is sitting third to the left of Prince. Mahima is sitting to the immediate
right of Vishal. Who is sitting third to the right of Prince?

Accepted Answer

Start by placing Prince and Vishal based on the 'Vishal is sitting third to the left of Prince' clue. Then place Subhi and Mahima using their immediate right positions. Finally, place Naitik and Krish, ensuring they are not next to Vishal, and deduce Ketan's position. Count three positions to the right of Prince to find the answer.

Question 19

Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
23 + 84 ÷ 14 × 8 − 3 = 5

Accepted Answer

We need to test each option by interchanging the signs and then applying the BODMAS rule. Option 3, interchanging '-' and '×', makes the equation 23 + 84 ÷ 14 - 8 × 3 = 5, which simplifies to 23 + 6 - 24 = 5, thus 29 - 24 = 5. This makes the equation correct.
