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.

(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)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

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.
