If '+' means '×', '–' means '÷', '×' means '+', and '÷' means '–', then which is the correct equation out of the following?
Option 1: 18 – 6 × 7 ÷ 2 + 8 = 63
Option 2: 18 ÷ 6 + 4 – 2 ÷ 3 = 22
Option 3: 18 + 6 – 4 × 2 ÷ 3 = 26
Option 4: 18 × 6 – 4 + 7 × 8 = 47
Correct Answer: 18 + 6 – 4 × 2 ÷ 3 = 26
Solution : Given:
'+' means '×'
'–' means '÷'
'×' means '+'
'÷' means '–'
Option first: 18 – 6 × 7 ÷ 2 + 8 = 63
Now, replacing the symbols as per the code language

Option 2: JRL
Option 3: IRL
Option 4: IQL
Correct Answer: IRL
Solution : Given: SHP, RIO, PKN, MNM, ?
To find the next term in the series, subtract the increasing order of the number (starting from 1) from the first letter, add the increasing order of the number (starting from 1) to the second letter, and finally, subtract
Question : If $\mathrm{K}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~K}}+2=0$ and $\mathrm{K}<0$, then what is the value of $\mathrm{K}^{10}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~K}^{11}}$?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 0
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given, $\mathrm{K}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~K}}+2=0$ ⇒ $\mathrm{K}^2+1+2\mathrm{K}=0$ ⇒ $(\mathrm{K}+1)^2=0$ $\therefore \mathrm{K}=-1$ So, $\mathrm{K}^{10}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~K}^{11}}=\mathrm{(-1)}^{10}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{(-1)}^{11}}=1-1=0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
Question : The base of a right prism is an equilateral triangle whose side is 10 cm. If the height of this prism is $10 \sqrt{3}$ cm, then what is the total surface area of the prism?
Option 1: $125 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 2: $325 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 3: $150 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 4: $350 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Correct Answer: $350 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Solution :
Given: The base of a right prism is an equilateral triangle whose side is 10 cm. The height of this prism is $10 \sqrt{3}$ cm. The total surface area of the prism = [2(area of triangular base)] + [3(Area of rectangular sides)]
Question : If $27 x^3-64 y^3=(A x+B y)\left(C x^2-D y^2+12 x y\right)$, then the value of $4 A+B+3 C+2 D$ is:
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 3
Option 3: –3
Option 4: –4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : Given: $27x^3 - 64y^3 = (Ax + By) (Cx^2 - Dy^2 + 12 xy)$ ⇒ $(3x)^3 - (4y)^3=(Ax + By) (Cx^2 - Dy^2 + 12 xy)$ ⇒ $(3x - 4y) (9x^2 + 16y^2 + 12 xy)=(Ax + By) (Cx^2 - Dy^2 + 12 xy)$ $\therefore$
