Question : Directions: If G = E < D < R and E = Y > K > Q, then which of the following options is NOT correct?
Option 1: G < Q
Option 2: R > Q
Option 3: G < R
Option 4: Y < R
Correct Answer: G < Q
Solution : Given: (I) G = E < D < R (II) E = Y > K > Q
By comparing the equations (I) and (II), we get→R > D > G = E = Y > K > Q Let's check each option –
Question : Directions: Select the option related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term. 7 : 84 :: 5 : ? :: 9 : 144
Option 1: 30
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 36
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 40
Solution : Given: 7 : 84 :: 5 : ? :: 9 : 144
