Question 6

In the following question, select the number which can be placed at the sing of question mark (?) from the given alternatives.2584101661524820?

Accepted Answer

The series consists of two alternating patterns. The first series is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... (adding 2). The second series is 5, 10, 15, 20... (adding 5). The missing number is from the second series, so 20 + 5 = 25. Oh, wait, the question is 2584101661524820? The series is 2, 5, 8, 4, 10, 16, 6, 15, 24, 8, 20, ?. Let's re-evaluate. The series is 2, 5, 8, 4, 10, 16, 6, 15, 24, 8, 20, ?. It's a bit tricky. Let's look at the numbers in groups. 2, 5, 8 (add 3, add 3). 4, 10, 16 (add 6, add 6). 6, 15, 24 (add 9, add 9). 8, 20, ? (add 12, add 12). So, 20 + 12 = 32.

Question 7

How many triangles are there in the given figure?

Accepted Answer

Count the individual small triangles (4). Then count triangles formed by combining two small triangles (2). Total triangles are 4 + 2 = 6.

Question 8

How many triangle are there in the given figure?

Accepted Answer

Count the individual triangles (3). Then count triangles formed by combining two smaller triangles (2). Finally, count the largest triangle (1). Total 3+2+1 = 6.

Question 9

How many rectangles are there in the given figure?

Accepted Answer

Count rectangles systematically: 3 small, 2 medium (formed by two small), and 1 large (formed by all three). Total 3+2+1 = 6 rectangles.

Question 10

How many squares are there in the given figure?

Accepted Answer

Count the individual small squares (4) and then the large square formed by combining all of them (1). Total squares are 4 + 1 = 5.

Question 11

A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of matrix-II are numbered form 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, for example, ‘Q’ can be represented by 23, 59, etc., and ‘S’ can be represented by 34, 99, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word “FAINT”Matrix – I012340BMUAF1HEOWD2PJGQY3VRLIS4ZXTNKMatrix – II567895DNXGQ6LVEOY7STCMW8HRBKU9FPAIS

Accepted Answer

Decode each letter of 'FAINT' using the given matrices. 'F' is 04 or 95. 'A' is 03 or 97. 'I' is 33 or 98. 'N' is 43 or 56. 'T' is 42 or 76. Option 4 correctly matches these codes.

Question 12

If '+' means '×', '–' means '÷', '×' means '–' and '÷' means '+', then 26 – 52 + 74 = ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the given symbols: 26 ÷ 52 × 74. First, 26 ÷ 52 = 0.5. Then, 0.5 × 74 = 37. So, the correct answer is 37.

Question 13

If ‘J’ means ‘+’, ‘K’ means ‘–’, ‘T’ means ‘×’ and ‘U’ means ‘÷’, then18 T 3 U 27 J 2 = ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the symbols with their respective operations: 18 × 3 ÷ 27 + 2. Following BODMAS, first multiply and divide from left to right: 54 ÷ 27 + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4.

Question 14

What will come in place of question mark (?) in the given equation?39 ? 11 ? 33 ? 117

Accepted Answer

Substitute the operators from option 2: 39 ÷ 11 × 33 = 117. Perform division first (39/11) then multiply by 33 to get 117.

Question 15

If '+' means '–' , ' –' means '×' , '×' means '÷' and '÷' means '+' , then12 × 6 ÷ 4 = ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the given symbols: '×' becomes '÷' and '÷' becomes '+'. The expression becomes 12 ÷ 6 + 4. Perform division first (12 ÷ 6 = 2), then addition (2 + 4 = 6).

Question 16

What will come in place of question mark (?) in the given equation?12 ? 10 ? 8 = 14

Accepted Answer

Substitute the operators from option 4 into the equation: 12 + 10 – 8. This simplifies to 22 – 8, which equals 14. Thus, option 4 is correct.

Question 17

If ‘–‘ means ‘+’,’+’ means ‘– ‘, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’, then 126 × 3 ÷ 10 – 6 = ?

Accepted Answer

Replace the symbols as given: 126 ÷ 3 × 10 + 6. Perform division and multiplication first: 42 × 10 + 6 = 420 + 6 = 426.

Question 18

If ‘c’ means ‘÷’, ‘d’ means ‘+’, ‘e’ means ‘-'  and ‘f’ means ‘×’, then24 c 3 f 4 d 6 = ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the symbols with their respective operations: 24 ÷ 3 × 4 + 6. Following BODMAS, perform division (24 ÷ 3 = 8), then multiplication (8 × 4 = 32), and finally addition (32 + 6 = 38).

Question 19

If ‘A’ means ‘+’, ‘B’ means ‘–’, ‘C’ means ‘×’ and ‘D’ means ‘÷’, then which of the following equations is true?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the symbols with their respective operations and apply the BODMAS rule. Option 4: 24 × 3 – 14 = 72 – 14 = 58, which is true.

Question 20

If 'A' means '+', 'B' means '–', 'C' means '÷' and 'D' means '×', then13 B 11 A 56 C 14 D 2 = ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the symbols with their respective operations: 13 - 11 + 56 ÷ 14 × 2. Following BODMAS, first divide (56 ÷ 14 = 4), then multiply (4 × 2 = 8), then subtract (13 - 11 = 2), and finally add (2 + 8 = 10).
