The logic followed here is:

Hence, ‘N30’ is the correct answer.

Seven boxes of different colours, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Violet and Indigo were stocked one on the other, not necessarily in the same order.

1. No other box was placed below the orange box.

2. The Red box was placed at the topmost position.

3. The Green box was second to the bottom of the Indigo box.

4. The Yellow box was exactly above the Indigo box.

5. The Violet box was placed second to the top of the Blue box.

Clearly, the above condition cannot be satisfied in Case II, so it is eliminated.

The final arrangement is shown below:

1. Violet box – 7th position from the top → False (4th position from the top)
2. Yellow box – 5th position from the top → False (2^nd position from the top)
3. Green box – 3rd position from the top → False (5th position from the top)
4. Blue box – 6th position from the top → True

Hence, 'Blue box – 6th position from the top' is the correct answer.

Given:

Manu purchased an old bike for ₹5,500 and spent 12% of this amount on repairs.

Sold the bike at an overall loss of 5%.

Concept used:

Selling Price = Cost Price - Cost Price × Loss%

Calculation:

Amount spent on repairing the bike

⇒ 5500 × 12%

⇒ ₹660

Overall cost price of the bike = 5500 + 660 = ₹6160

Hence, the selling price of the bike

⇒ 6160 - 6160 × 5%

⇒ 6160 - 6160 × 0.05

⇒ 6160 - 308

⇒ ₹5852

∴ The price at which Manu sold the bike was ₹5852.

Given sequence: _h__cd_p_c_h_k_dh_k_

A. phcdkpchdk → phhcc - ddpkc - phckh - dhdkk

B. phdkpchkpc → ​phhdc - dkppc - chhkk - dhpkc

C. dphkchdpck → ​dhphc - dkpcc - hhdkp - dhckk

D.​dpkhkdpcpc → dhpkc - dhpkc - dhpkc - dhpkc

In option D, dhpkc is repeated

Hence, ‘dpkhkdpcpc’ is the correct answer.

In a certain code language,

• 'club' is written as 'school'
• 'school' is written as 'playground'
• 'playground' is written as 'house'
• 'house is written as 'market'
• 'market' is written as 'bus'

Students go to study to 'School' and 'school' is written as 'playground'.

Therefore, students go to study to Playground.

Hence, ‘Playground’ is the correct answer.

Given:

The ratio of the mode and median is 13 ∶ 9

Formula used:

Empirical relation

Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean

Calculation:

Let the common ratio be Q.

Hence, the mode and median of the distribution are 13Q and 9Q.

Thus, the Mean of the distribution

Mean = (3 Median - Mode) / 2

⇒ (3 × 9Q - 13Q)/2

⇒ 7Q

The ratio of the mean and mode

⇒ 7Q : 13Q

⇒ 7 : 13

∴ The ratio of the mean and mode is 7 : 13.

Given:

A train passes a man, going in opposite direction, in 12 seconds and the speed of the man is 10 km/h.

The speed of the train is 62 km/h.

Concept used:

Relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds while two bodies are coming from the opposite direction.

1m/s = 18/5 km/h

Time × Speed = Distance

Calculation:

62 km/h = 62 ÷ (18/5) = 155/9 m/s

10 kmph = 10 ÷ (18/5) = 25/9 m/s

Hence, the relative speed of the train and the person

⇒ 155/9 + 25/9

⇒ 180/9

⇒ 20 m/s

Thus, the length of the train = 12 × 20 = 240 m

∴ The length of the train is 240m.

Given:

The divisor is 22.8 and the quotient is 8.5.

Remainder = 0

Concept used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

According to the question, the dividend

⇒ 22.8 × 8.5 + 0

⇒ 193.8

∴ The dividend is 193.8.

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

Hence, ‘ORTX’ is the correct answer.

Given:

The 9-digit number 83x93678y is divisible by 72.

Concept used:

If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.

If the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9.

Calculation:

If the 9-digit number 83x93678y is divisible by 72, then it must be divisible by 8 and 9 simultaneously.

The last three digits of 83x93678y are 78y.

Hence, In order to be divisible by 8, y must be 4.

The number becomes = 83x936784

Now, in order to be divisible by 9,

8 + 3 + x + 9 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 4 = Multiple of 9

⇒ 48 + x = Multiple of 9

In order to be a multiple of 9, x must be 6. That makes (48 + 6) i.e. 54 a multiple of 9.

Hence,

⇒ 3x - 2y

⇒ 3 × 6 - 2 × 4

⇒ 10

∴ The value of (3x - 2y) is 10.

Given:

A family's monthly income is ₹45,000.

Out of the monthly income, 20% is spent on food, 20% is spent on the house rent, 5% is spent on shopping, 10% is spent on personal expenses and the rest is saved.

They decided to donate 12% of the monthly savings to the poor.

Calculation:

Let the total income be 100%.

Total percentage of the total expenditure

⇒ (20 + 20 + 5 + 10)%

⇒ 55%

Hence, the saving percentage = (100 - 55) = 45%

Thus, the donation percentage = 45 × 12% = 5.4%

Now, the amount that they donate to the poor

⇒ 45000 × 5.4%

⇒ ₹2430

∴ The amount that they donate to the poor is ₹2430.

13th June 2005 → Friday

13th June 2005 + 17 days = 30^th June 2005

Number of days from 1^st July 2005 to 5th July 2005 = 5

⇒ 17 + 5 = 22

• 13th June 2005 + 22 days = 5th July 2005

22 when divided by 7 leaves 1 as remainder.

3th June 2005 + 1 odd day = 5th July 2005

⇒ Friday + 1 odd = Saturday

So, it was Saturday on 5th July 2005.

Hence, ‘Saturday’ is the correct answer.

Prashant, Kamal, Rishi, Sunita, Tanvi, Vimal, Wazir and Yogita are sitting at a square table in such a way that four of them are sitting at four corners of the table, while the other four are sitting in the middle of each of four sides of the table.

The four who are sitting at the corners of the table are facing the centre, whereas those who are sitting in the middle of the sides of the table are facing outside.

1. Prashant, who is facing the centre, is sitting third to the right of Vimal.

2. Tanvi, who is facing the centre, is not an immediate neighbour of Vimal.

Clearly, Tanvi is sitting second to the left of Prashant as she is facing the centre and the only vacant possible position for Tanvi is second to the left of Prashant.

3. Only one person is sitting between Vimal and Wazir.

4. Rishi is not an immediate neighbour of Prashant. ​

5. Sunita sits second to the right of Kamal.

6. Kamal is facing the centre.

Case I is eliminated as there is no vacant position left for Rishi to occupy.

The final arrangement will be as shown below:

1. Kamal is an immediate neighbour of Yogita. → False (Prashant and Tanvi are immediate neighbours of Yogita)
2. Kamal is an immediate neighbour of Vimal. → True
3. Kamal is sitting to the immediate right of Tanvi. → False (Kamal is sitting diagonally opposite to Tanvi)
4. Kamal is an immediate neighbour of both Tanvi and Sunita. → False (Kamal is sitting diagonally opposite to Tanvi)

Hence, 'Kamal is an immediate neighbour of Vimal' is the correct answer.

∴ The simplified value is 3.

Given:

Principal amount = ₹40,000

Rate of interest = 20%

Time = 2 years

Concept used:

Compound interest, CI = P(1 + R/100)ⁿ - P

where

P = Principal amount

R = Rate of interest per year

N = Time in years

Calculation:

According to the concept,

The incurred compound interest

⇒ 40000(1 + 20/100)² - 40000

⇒ 57600 - 40000

⇒ ₹17,600

∴ The compound interest that Kiran will receive after 2 years is ₹17,600.

Given:

The sum of the ages of 5 children born at an interval of 5 years each, is 80.

Calculation:

Let the present age of the youngest child be Q.

Hence, the ages of other children in the ascending order is (Q + 5), (Q + 10), (Q + 15), (Q + 20)

According to the question,

Q + (Q + 5) + (Q + 10) + (Q + 15) + (Q + 20) = 80

⇒ 5Q + 50 = 80

⇒ Q = 30/5

⇒ Q = 6

∴ The age of the youngest child is 6 years.

Given:

The area of a rectangle is 2430 cm2 and its width is 9 cm less than its length.

Concept used:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width)

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Calculation:

Let the width of the rectangle be Q cm.

Hence, the length of the rectangle = (Q + 9) cm

According to the question,

Q × (Q + 9) = 2430

⇒ Q² + 9Q - 2430 = 0

⇒ Q2 + 54Q - 45Q - 2430 = 0

⇒ Q (Q + 54) - 45 (Q + 54) = 0

⇒ (Q + 54) (Q - 45) = 0

Since Q can't be negative,

(Q - 45) = 0

⇒ Q = 45

Then, the length of the rectangle = (45 + 9) = 54 cm

Now, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (45 + 54) = 198 cm

∴ The perimeter of the rectangle is 198 cm.
