Ramya patel answered |
Solution:
Given number is 54638.
Decreasing each odd digit by 1 and increasing each even digit by 1, we get:
New number = 65749
Now, we need to find the sum of digits of the new number.
Sum of digits = 6 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 31
But this is not any of the options given in the question.
So, we need to keep reducing the sum by 9 until we get a number that matches one of the options.
31 - 9 = 22
22 is not an option.
22 - 9 = 13
13 is not an option.
13 - 9 = 4
4 is not an option.
4 - 9 = -5
-5 is not a valid answer as the sum of digits cannot be negative.
So, the closest option to 31 is option A, which is 27.
Therefore, the answer is option A) 27.
Given number is 54638.
Decreasing each odd digit by 1 and increasing each even digit by 1, we get:
New number = 65749
Now, we need to find the sum of digits of the new number.
Sum of digits = 6 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 31
But this is not any of the options given in the question.
So, we need to keep reducing the sum by 9 until we get a number that matches one of the options.
31 - 9 = 22
22 is not an option.
22 - 9 = 13
13 is not an option.
13 - 9 = 4
4 is not an option.
4 - 9 = -5
-5 is not a valid answer as the sum of digits cannot be negative.
So, the closest option to 31 is option A, which is 27.
Therefore, the answer is option A) 27.

Understanding the Groups of Letters
To determine which group of letters is different, let's analyze each option based on their patterns.
Option A: CFIL
- The letters are: C, F, I, L
- Pattern: Each letter is the third letter apart in the alphabet.
- C (3)
- F (6) = C + 3
- I (9) = F + 3
- L (12) = I + 3
Option B: PSVX
- The letters are: P, S, V, X
- Pattern: The letters are not consistently spaced in the same way.
- P (16)
- S (19) = P + 3
- V (22) = S + 3
- X (24) = V + 2 (this breaks the pattern)
Option C: JMPS
- The letters are: J, M, P, S
- Pattern: The letters are similarly spaced with a consistent increment.
- J (10)
- M (13) = J + 3
- P (16) = M + 3
- S (19) = P + 3
Option D: ORUX
- The letters are: O, R, U, X
- Pattern: Each letter is three letters apart.
- O (15)
- R (18) = O + 3
- U (21) = R + 3
- X (24) = U + 3
Conclusion
When analyzing the patterns, it’s clear that:
- Options A, C, and D maintain a consistent pattern of incremental steps of three letters.
- Option B (PSVX) deviates by having a step of two between V and X.
Thus, the correct answer is option B due to its inconsistency in the letter spacing pattern.

Vivek Bansal answered |
The pattern is +5, +20, +80, +320
i.e. +(5 × 12 ), +(5 × 22 ), +(5 × 42 ), +(5 × 82 )
So, missing term = 427 + +(5 × 162 ) = 427 +1280 = 1707
i.e. +(5 × 12 ), +(5 × 22 ), +(5 × 42 ), +(5 × 82 )
So, missing term = 427 + +(5 × 162 ) = 427 +1280 = 1707

Solution:
Given, it was Saturday on 17th December 2002.
We need to find the day on 22nd December 2004.
We can solve this problem by counting the number of days between the given dates and dividing it by 7. The remainder will give us the day of the week.
Step 1: Count the number of days between the given dates.
From 17th December 2002 to 17th December 2003, there are 365 days.
From 17th December 2003 to 17th December 2004, there are 365 days.
From 17th December 2004 to 22nd December 2004, there are 5 days.
Therefore, the total number of days between the given dates = 365 + 365 + 5 = 735 days.
Step 2: Divide the total number of days by 7 and find the remainder.
735 ÷ 7 = 105 remainder 0.
Since the remainder is 0, the day on 22nd December 2004 is the same as the day on 17th December 2002.
Therefore, the day on 22nd December 2004 is Saturday.
Hence, the correct answer is option (B) Sunday.

From 17th December 2004 to 22nd December 2004, there are 5 days.
Therefore, the total number of days between the given dates = 365 + 365 + 5 = 735 days.
Step 2: Divide the total number of days by 7 and find the remainder.
735 ÷ 7 = 105 remainder 0.
Since the remainder is 0, the day on 22nd December 2004 is the same as the day on 17th December 2002.
Therefore, the day on 22nd December 2004 is Saturday.
Hence, the correct answer is option (B) Sunday.

Pallavi kulkarni answered |
The equation is 2 x 3 = 6 - 12.
To make the equation correct, we need to interchange the signs in the equation.
Interchanging the signs in the equation gives us:
-2 x 3 = 6 + 12
This simplifies to:
-6 = 18
However, this equation is not correct.
Therefore, there is no correct alternative.

Identifying pairs with a difference of 2:
To find pairs of successive numbers with a difference of 2, we need to look for numbers that are followed by another number which is exactly 2 units larger.
Given series:
6 4 1 2 2 8 7 4 2 1 5 3 8 6 2 1 7 1 4 1 3 2 8 6
Pairs with a difference of 2:
- 6 and 4 (6 - 4 = 2)
- 1 and 3 (3 - 1 = 2)

- 2 and 4 (4 - 2 = 2)
- 7 and 5 (7 - 5 = 2)
Total pairs:
There are a total of 5 pairs of successive numbers in the given series that have a difference of 2 each.

Considering 6 / 20 x 12 + 7 - 1
= 6 - 20 + 12 x 7 / 1
= 6 - 20 + 12 x 7
= 6 - 20 + 84
= 90 - 20 = 70
= 6 - 20 + 12 x 7 / 1
= 6 - 20 + 12 x 7
= 6 - 20 + 84
= 90 - 20 = 70

Sagar chauhan answered |
To find the code for the word NAGPUR using the given code, we need to understand the pattern in the given code.
Pattern in the given code:
- Each letter is shifted by 5 positions to the right in the English alphabet.
- If a letter reaches the end of the alphabet, it wraps around to the beginning.
Using this pattern, we can find the code for the word NAGPUR.
Breaking down the given word NAGPUR:
- The first letter is N, which is 14th in the English alphabet.
- The second letter is A, which is 1st in the English alphabet.
- The third letter is G, which is 7th in the English alphabet.
- The fourth letter is P, which is 16th in the English alphabet.
- The fifth letter is U, which is 21st in the English alphabet.
- The sixth letter is R, which is 18th in the English alphabet.
Applying the pattern to each letter:
- Shifting N by 5 positions to the right, we get S.
- Shifting A by 5 positions to the right, we get F.
- Shifting G by 5 positions to the right, we get L.
- Shifting P by 5 positions to the right, we get U.
- Shifting U by 5 positions to the right, we get Z.
- Shifting R by 5 positions to the right, we get W.
Therefore, the code for the word NAGPUR is GPAUNR, which corresponds to option 'D'.
