  1. If 879 = 9, 625 = 1 and 586 = 9, then 785 = ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    879 ⇒ (7 + 9) - 8 = 8
    625 ⇒ (2 + 5) - 6 = 1
    and 586 ⇒ (8 + 6) - 5 = 9
    Similarly, 785 ⇒ (8 + 5) - 7 = 6

    Correct Option: A

    879 ⇒ (7 + 9) - 8 = 8
    625 ⇒ (2 + 5) - 6 = 1
    and 586 ⇒ (8 + 6) - 5 = 9
    Similarly, 785 ⇒ (8 + 5) - 7 = 6


  1. If 2 & 6 % 7 = 33, 4 & 6 % 8 = 54, then what will be the value of 6 % 8 & 9?

    Here sign '&' does not convey any meaning and sign '%' signifies '+'
    26 + 7 = 33, 46 + 8 = 54
    Therefore, 6 + 89 = 95

    Correct Option: A

    Here sign '&' does not convey any meaning and sign '%' signifies '+'
    26 + 7 = 33, 46 + 8 = 54
    Therefore, 6 + 89 = 95



  1. If 23 ÷ 4 = 2, 44 ÷ 8 = 32, then what will be the value of 62 ÷ 4?

    (2)3 ÷ 4 = 2, (4)4 ÷ 8 = 32
    Therefore, (6)2 ÷ 4 = 9

    Correct Option: A

    (2)3 ÷ 4 = 2, (4)4 ÷ 8 = 32
    Therefore, (6)2 ÷ 4 = 9


  1. Select the correct combination of mathematical sign to replace * signs and to balance the given equation.
    15 * 24 * 3 * 6 * 17

    Given equation → 15 * 24 * 3 * 6 * 17
    Substitute the signs from given options

    Correct Option: A

    Given equation → 15 * 24 * 3 * 6 * 17
    From option (a), substitute the signs
    15 + 24 ÷ 3 - 6 = 17
    ⇒ 15 + 24/3 - 6 = 17
    ⇒ 15 + 8 - 6 = 17
    ⇒ 23 - 6 = 17
    ∴ 17 = 17



  1. Statements
    D > E ≤ F,
    J < F
    Conclusions
    I. D > J
    II. E < J

    Given that,
    D > E ≤ F ..............(i)
    J < F .........................(ii)
    On combining the statements (i) and (ii), we get
    D > E ≤ F > j
    Conclusions
    I. D > J
    II. E < J

    Correct Option: D

    Given that,
    D > E ≤ F ..............(i)
    J < F .........................(ii)
    On combining the statements (i) and (ii), we get
    D > E ≤ F > j
    Conclusions
    I. D > J       (false)
    II. E < J       (false)
    So, it is clear that neither Conclusion I nor II is true .
