Expression : 8 x 9 + 2 = 74

(A) : x and =, 2 and 9

$\equiv8=2+9\times74$

R.H.S. $=666+2=668\neq$ L.H.S.

(B) : x and +, 8 and 2

$\equiv2+9\times8=74$

L.H.S. $=2+72=74=$ R.H.S.

=> Ans – (B)

S is at the extreme right end and R is to the left of S.

=> R sits second from right end.

Q is to the left of P and right of T.

=> T sits at extreme left end.

Thus, arrangement :

$\therefore$ P is sitting third from the left.

=> Ans – (A)

Total marks scored by Ankit in Physics, English and Philosophy respectively = $32+45+49=126$

Total aggregate marks of the three subjects = $3\times50=150$

$\therefore$ Required percentage = $\frac{126}{150}\times100$

= $\frac{126}{3}\times2=84\%$

=> Ans – (D)

The pattern followed is that for the numbers, $a*b=c$, we have = $c=\frac{(a+b)}{2}$

Eg :- 52*14= 33 $\equiv\frac{(52+14)}{2}=\frac{66}{2}=33$

and 86*14= 50 $\equiv\frac{(86+14)}{2}=\frac{100}{2}=50$

Similarly, 43*15 $\equiv\frac{(43+15)}{2}=\frac{58}{2}=29$

=> Ans – (D)

B is older than C but not as old as D, => D > B > C.

E is not as old as B, => B > E

Thus, combining above equations, we get : D > B > E, C

Thus, D is the oldest of all.

=> Ans – (D)

R was second to the left of Q but to the immediate right of A, => A R _ Q

There was one plane between B and P, => the last plane must be to the immediate right of Q.

Also, B was not at any of the ends, => B was between R and Q.

Arrangement :

$\therefore$ A was at the left end.

=> Ans – (A)

It is given that all Mondays and Sundays are offs.

If a month starts with a Monday and has 31 days, then number of Mondays = 5

But number of Sundays = 4

Thus, total off days = 4+5 = 9

=> Ans – (C)

If day before yesterday was Sunday, then today is = Tuesday

Now, 6th day from today = Tuesday (+6) = Monday

=> Ans – (C)

Let price of 1 eraser = Rs. $x$ and price of 1 pen = Rs. $y$

According to ques, => $3x+5y=105$ —————(i)

and $4x+6y=130$

$\equiv2x+3y=65$ ————(ii)

Now, multiplying equation (i) by 2 and equation (ii) by 3 and subtracting them : $2(i)-3(ii)$

=> $10y-9y=210-195$

=> $y=15$

Substituting it in equation (ii), we get : $2x+3(15)=65$

=> $2x=65-45=20$

=> $x=\frac{20}{2}=10$

Thus, price of 1 eraser is Rs. 10

=> Ans – (C)

Maximum marks in each subject = 100

Percentage marks in 4 subjects = 80%

=> Total marks scored in 4 subjects = $80\times4=320$

Marks in 5th subject = 65

=> Overall percentage for the five subjects = $\frac{(320+65)}{500}\times100$

= $\frac{385}{5}=77\%$

=> Ans – (C)

Priya’s present age = 5 years

=> Babli’s present age = $3\times5=15$ years

$\therefore$ Amit’s present age = $4\times15=60$ years

=> Ans – (D)

Average temperature of a town in the ﬁrst six days  = $410C$

=> Sum of temperatures in 6 days = $6\times410=2460C$

Sum of the temperatures of the ﬁrst ﬁve days of the same month = $2010C$

$\therefore$ Temperature on the sixth day of the month = $2460-2010=450C$

=> Ans – (B)

Q’s height is more than S and P but not more than R and S’s height is more than P,

=> R > Q > S > P

P’s height is more than only one student, => T is the shortest.

$\therefore$ R > Q > S > P > T

Thus, R is the tallest in the class.

=> Ans – (B)

Total number of trees = 45

Position of lemon tree from right end = 20th

=> Rank of lemon tree from left end = $(45+1)-20$

= $46-20=26$

=> Ans – (A)

Position of English book from left end = 16th

=> Position of Mathematics book from left end = 16 + 6 = 22nd

Also, Position of Mathematics book from right end = 12th

Thus, total books in the row = (22+12) – 1 = 34-1 = 33

=> Ans – (A)

Expression : 30 ? 6 ? 4 ? 5 ? 4

(A) : $30+6=4\times5-4$

L.H.S. = $36$

R.H.S. = $20-4=16\neq$ L.H.S.

(B) : $30-6=4\times5+4$

L.H.S. = $24$

R.H.S. = $20+4=24=$ L.H.S.

=> Ans – (B)

The pattern followed is that sum of squares of the number is written on the right.

Eg = $6^2+4^2+7^2=36+16+49=101$

and $2^2+5^2+11^2=4+25+121=150$

Similarly, $A^2+8^2+9^2=289$

=> $A^2+64+81=289$

=> $A^2=289-145=144$

=> $A=\sqrt{144}=12$

=> Ans – (C)

Let weight of Book 2 = $2x$ kg

=> Weight of Book 1 = $4x$ kg

and weight of book 3 = $x$ kg

Thus, weight of book 4 = $2x+60=4x-60$

=> $4x-2x=60+60$

=> $2x=120$

=> $x=\frac{120}{2}=60$

Thus, respective weights of Book 1,2,3 and 4 = $240,120,60,180$ kg

$\therefore$ Book 1 is the heaviest.

=> Ans – (A)

Bottles that are not brown are represented by blue colour = 31 + 26 + 1 = 58

=> Ans – (A)

$\therefore$ Total number of people = (17+8) – 1 = 24
