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)

Expression : 8 x 6 + 4 = 52(A) : x and +, 8 and 52$\equiv52+6\times4=8$L.H.S. $=52+24=76\neq$ R.H.S.(B) : + and x, 6 and 4$\equiv8+4\times6=52$L.H.S. $=8+24=32\neq$ R.H.S.
(C) : x and +, 8 and 4$\equiv4+6\times8=52$L.H.S. $=4+48=52=$ R.H.S.
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) 5) Answer (A) P is at an end and third to the right of O. => P is at the extreme right end, and O is second from left end. N is to the right of Q but left of P. => Q sits in the middle, and N sits between Q and P.Thus, Arrangement : \therefore M is at the left end. => Ans – (A) 6) Answer (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}=33and 86*14= 50 \equiv\frac{(86+14)}{2}=\frac{100}{2}=50Similarly, 43*15 \equiv\frac{(43+15)}{2}=\frac{58}{2}=29=> Ans – (D) 7) Answer (D) It is given that C is in the extreme right. D is the immediate neighbour of A and E. B is at the right of E. => D sits to the immediate left of E, and A sits second to the left of E.Thus, Arrangement : \therefore A is fourth to the left of C.=> Ans – (D) 8) Answer (B) Expression : 17- 15 x 5 = 250(A) : = and x \equiv17-15=5\times250L.H.S. =2\neq1250= R.H.S.(B) : x and -\equiv17\times15-5=250L.H.S. =255-5=250= R.H.S.=> Ans – (B) 9) Answer (B) Equation : 7 x 9 + 5 = 68(A) : + and =, 5 and 6\equiv7\times9=6+58=> L.H.S. =63\neq64= R.H.S.(B) : x and +, 5 and 7\equiv5+9\times7=68=> L.H.S. =5+63=68= R.H.S.=> Ans – (B) 10) Answer (D) B is older than C but not as old as D, => D > B > C. E is not as old as B, => B > EThus, combining above equations, we get : D > B > E, CThus, D is the oldest of all.=> Ans – (D) 11) Answer (B) We need to interchange : + & x and 12 &18(A) : (9 + 12) x 18 = 60\equiv(9\times18)+12=60L.H.S. =162+12=174\neq R.H.S.(B) : (18 + 6) x 12 = 90\equiv(12\times6)+18=90L.H.S. =72+18=90= R.H.S.=> Ans – (B) 12) Answer (B) Expression : 14*6*3*5*4*20(A) : ÷ , + , × , – , =\equiv14\div6+3\times5-4=20L.H.S. =2.33+15-4=13.33\neq R.H.S.(B) : + , ÷ , × , – , = \equiv14+6\div3\times5-4=20L.H.S. =14+10-4=20= R.H.S.=> Ans – (B) 13) Answer (D) If yesterday was Tuesday, then today is = WednesdayAlso, 7th day from today is = WednesdayNow, 10th day = Wednesday (+3) = Saturday=> Ans – (D) 14) Answer (A) R was second to the left of Q but to the immediate right of A, => A R _ QThere 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) 15) Answer (A) Pooja is third to the extreme right end. Vishu is second to the left of Pooja. => Vishu sits at extreme left end.Vishakha is to the right of Pooja. Rani is third to the right of Ram, who is the immediate neighbour of Vishu. => Rani sits at extreme right end, and Ram sits between Vishu and Pooja.Thus, arrangement : \therefore Pooja is sitting in the middle.=> Ans – (A) 16) Answer (C) Total marks scored by Amarjeet in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics respectively = 92+98+90=280Total aggregate marks of 3 subjects = 3\times100=300=> Required percentage = \frac{280}{300}\times100= \frac{280}{3}=93.33=> Ans – (C) 17) Answer (C) 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 = 4Thus, total off days = 4+5 = 9=> Ans – (C) 18) Answer (A) (A) : 40 – 10 + 5 ÷ 4 x 5 = 21\equiv40\div10\times5-4+5=21L.H.S. =(4\times5)+1=20+1=21= R.H.S. => Ans – (A) 19) Answer (C) If day before yesterday was Sunday, then today is = TuesdayNow, 6th day from today = Tuesday (+6) = Monday=> Ans – (C) 20) Answer (C) Total number of residents in the society = a+b+c+d=150 —————(i)Residents who own motorcycle = b+c=50 —————-(ii)Residents who own car = a+b=60 ————–(iii) Also, Residents who own both car and motorcycle = b=20Substituting above values in equations (ii) and (iii), => c=50-20=30 and a=60-20=40$$\therefore$ From equation (i), we get : $40+20+30+d=150$=> $d=150-90=60$Thus, 60 residents neither own a motorcycle nor a car.=> Ans – (C)
