Question : Directions: In a certain code language, MOST is coded as 3472, and STOW is coded as 2634. What is the code for M in the given code language?
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 7
Correct Answer: 7
Solution : Given: I. MOST is coded as 3472. II. STOW is coded as 2634.
By comparing statement I and statement II, S, T, and O are common, therefore the code for S/T/O is 3/4/2. Now, only M is left in statement I so, the code for
Question : A slope of line AB is $-\frac{2}{3}$. Co-ordinates of points A and B are $(x,–3)$ and $(5, 2)$, respectively. What is the value of $x$?
Option 1: 4
Option 2: –14
Option 3: 12.5
Option 4: –4
Correct Answer: 12.5
Solution : Given: A slope of line AB is $-\frac{2}{3}$. Co-ordinates of points A and B are $(x,–3)$ and $(5, 2)$, respectively. Slope of line(m) $=\frac{y_{2}–y_{1}}{x_{2}–x_{1}}$ $⇒-\frac{2}{3}= \frac{2–(–3)}{5–x}$ $⇒-\frac{2}{3}= \frac{2+3}{5–x}$ $⇒-\frac{2}{3}= \frac{5}{5–x}$ $⇒-10+2x=15$ $\therefore x=12.5$ Hence, the correct answer is 12.5.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, A + B means A is the daughter of B; A – B means A is the wife of B; A × B means A is the brother of B; A ÷ B means A is the father of B. Based on the above, how is P related to T if P + Q – R ÷ S × T?
