Hence, number 162 will come in place of question mark

4) Answer: a)

Given equation

Changing signs according to question,

According to BODMAS,

56 – 96 + 72 = ?

128 – 96 = ? ? = 32

5) Answer: c)

As, 6 # 30 = 30 ÷ 6 = 5

8 # 24 = 24 ÷ 8 = 3

7 # 28 = 28 ÷ 7 = 4

Similarly, 8 # 40 = 40 ÷ 8 = 5

6) Answer: c)

Number of days from 29th May to 19th October

= 3 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 19 = 144

Number of odd days = 144 ÷ 7 = 4

Required day = Sunday + 4 = Thursday

7) Answer: b)

Weight of four boxes = 30 kg, 20 kg, 60 kg and 70 kg

Total weight of four boxes

= 30 + 20 + 60 + 70 = 180

Possible combinations = 180 – 30 = 150 kg

180 – 20 = 160 kg

180 – 60 = 120 kg

180 – 70 = 110 kg

Hence, according to the options combination of 170 kg cannot be formed.

8) Answer: a)

As, 35% 31 ⇒ (3 + 5) + (3 + 1) = 12

⇒ (1 + 5) + (2 + 4) = 12

9) Answer: (c)

As, 314 – 39 = 275

205 – 102 = 103

Similarly, 111 – 34 = ?⇒ ? = 77

Hence, Y is 24 m far away towards East from X.

11) Answer: (b)

Let L’s present age = 7 xyr

N’s present age = 5x yr

According to the question.

5x + 7 = 32

5x = 32 – 7

5x = 25

 x = 5

Hence, L’s present age = 7 5 = 35 yr
