$\sqrt{81} + 1 = 10$
$\sqrt{169} + 1 = 14$
Hence, option D is the correct option.

13 ! 102 @ 6 % 2 ^ 41 = 13 + [(102 /6) * 2] – 41 = 13 + (17*2) – 41 = 6
Hence, option A is the right choice.

The person in the photograph should be Ram’s aunt. Thus, Ram is her nephew.

1st January of consecutive non -leap years will fall on consecutive days since 365 leaves a remainder of 1 on division by 7.

1900 is not a leap year. 1900 is divisible by 100 but not by 400. Therefore, all the years from 1897 till 1901 are non-leap years.

Therefore, the day on which 1st January falls will move by 1 for every year. Therefore, in 1897, 1st January would have fallen on Saturday. In 1898, 1st January would have fallen on Sunday. Similarly, in 1901, 1st January would have fallen on Tuesday. Therefore, option D is the right answer.

121 @ 34 = 87 and 28 ! 13 = 41
121 – 34 = 87 and 28 + 13 = 41
So, 353 ! 89 @ 167 = 353 + 89 – 167 = 275
Hence, option A is right choice.

The numerical position of E is 5, A is 1 and T is 20 – 5*1*20 = 100.
The numerical position of C is 3, A is 1 and T is 20 – 3*1*20 = 60.

BAIN = 2*1*9*14 = 252.
PAINT = 16*1*9*14*20 = 40320.
HIGH = 8*9*7*8 = 4032.
RAISE = 18*1*9*19*5 = 15390.
As we can see, PAINT will be coded as 40320. Therefore, option B is the right answer.

The words when arranged in the dictionary will appear as:
2.Quark
4.Quartet

First Virat travelled in west direction then took a right and travelled in the north direction, then he took a right and travelled in east direction and finally took a left and travelled in the north direction. Hence, option A is the correct option.

In option A, 57 does not correspond to ‘N’. Hence option A is incorrect.
In option B, 86 does not correspond to ‘L’. Hence option B is also incorrect.
In option C, 76 does not correspond to ‘I’. Hence option C is also incorrect.
Thus option D is the correct answer.

Option A and B contains R but it is not there in the given letters. Hence both of these can be ruled out Option D contains M which is not there in the given letters. Hence D is also not possible. The word LISTEN can be formed from the given letters. Hence the correct answer is option C

We see that 39/3 = 13
48/4 = 12
117/9 = 13
Hence, option D is right choice.

$1^3 – 2^2 = -3$
$2^3 – 3^2 = -1$
$3^3 – 4^2 = 11$
$4^3 – 5^2 = 39$
$5^3 – 6^2 = 89$
$6^3 – 7^2 = 167$
$7^3 – 8^2 = 279$

57, 51 and 91 are composite numbers.
29 is an prime number. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Deepak is standing between Mukesh and Ajit and Mukesh is heavier than Ajit. We have three possibilities:

It is given that Mukesh is heavier than Sohan. So, Sohan must stand somewhere behind Mukesh. But, this is not possible in case III. Thus, case III is invalid. In case I, Sohan can be at any of the two last positions and in case II, Sohan must be at the last position.

Deepak is lighter than Rahul. So, Rahul must be standing somewhere ahead of Deepak. But, this is not possible in case I. Thus, case I is invalid. In case II, Rahul must be at the first position. We get the final arrangement as:

From the arrangement, we can see that Rahul is the heaviest. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Ram’s initial position is fourth from the left, and when Rahul comes at Ram’s position, he is sixth from the right. So total number of children in the row = 6 + 4 – 1 = 9
Rahul’s initial position is third from the right which is = 9 – 3 + 1 = 7th from the left. So, after interchange Ram’s position will be 7th from the left. Hence, option D is the correct option.

From the two statements, it is clear that some students avail the free lunch and leave the schools.
If conclusion I is true, then there shouldn’t have been a decline in the afternoon session.
Hence, only statement II is true.

As we can check from the diagram.

Therefore, Only Statement (1) follows. Hence, Option A is correct.

We want circle but subtracting the rectangle
Thus required answer = 21 + 36 + 17 = 74
Hence, option D is the right choice.
