Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (9, 7,189) (4, 13, 156)
Option 1: (5, 9, 160)
Option 2: (6, 9, 162)
Option 3: (8, 5,125)
Option 4: (7, 8, 188)
Correct Answer: (6, 9, 162)
Solution : Given: (9, 7,189); (4,13,156)
The product of the first and second numbers is multiplied by 3, to get the third number – ⇒ (9, 7,189)→(9 × 7) × 3 = 189 ⇒ (4, 13,156)→(4 × 13) × 3 = 156
Let's check each option – First option: (5, 9,160)→(5 × 9) × 3 = 135 ≠ 160 Second option: (6, 9,162)→(6 × 9) × 3 = 162 Third option: (8, 5,125)→(8 × 5) × 3 = 120 ≠ 125 Fourth option: (7, 8,188)→(7 × 8) × 3 = 168 ≠ 188
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as the given number pair. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Paresh is 14th from the left and Dileep is 16th from the right in a line of students. When both Paresh and Dileep interchange their positions, the position of Dileep becomes 21st from the right. How many students are there in the line?
Option 1: 33
Option 2: 35
Option 3: 36
Option 4: 34
Correct Answer: 34
Solution : Given: Paresh is 14th from the left and Dileep is 16th from the right in a line of students. The position of Dileep becomes 21st from the right when both interchange their positions.
So, we can say that – Paresh position of 14th from the left end = Paresh position of 21st from the right end. The total number of students in that row = (Position from left) + (Position from right) – 1 = (14 + 21) – 1 = 35 – 1 = 34
So, the total number of people in the line is 34. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
