- Question
- If ' - ' stands for ' ÷ ' , ' + ' stands for ' x ' , ' ÷ ' stands for ' - ' and ' x ' stands for ' + ' , find out which one is correct .
Options- A. 49 + 7 - 3 x 5 ÷ 8 = 20
- B. 49 - 7 + 3 ÷ 5 x 8 = 24
- C. 49 x 7 + 3 ÷ 5 - 8 = 16
- D. 49 ÷ 7 x 3 + 5 - 8 = 26
- Correct Answer
- 49 - 7 + 3 ÷ 5 x 8 = 24
ExplanationTry all option one by one;
From option ( b )
49 - 7 + 3 ÷ 5 x 8 = 24
Change the sign, as per the question,
49 ÷ 7 x 3 - 5 + 8 = 24
Apply the BODMAS rule
B - Brackets first
O - Orders (i.e. Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
DM - Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS - Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
Now Applying the BODMAS rule one by one.
49 ÷ 7 x 3 - 5 + 8 = 24
After Division
7 x 3 - 5 + 8 = 24
After Multiplication
21 - 5 + 8 = 24
After Addition
29 - 5 = 24
After subtraction
24 = 24 - 1. Statement

All the possible representations of each letter:
Matrix-I
B ? 00,14, 21, 32, 43
D ? 01,10, 23, 34, 42
E ? 02,11, 20, 33, 44
O ? 04,13, 22, 31, 40
T ? 03,12, 24, 30, 41
Matrix-II
I ? 57, 69, 75, 88, 96
L ? 58, 66, 79, 85, 97
M ? 55, 67, 76, 89, 98
R ? 59, 68, 77, 86, 95
U ? 56, 65, 78, 87, 99
From the above given figure , the values for Cell numbers 76,57,79,33 are MILE .
Therefore,
76 ? M
57 ? I
79 ? L
33 ? E
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
From above given series , we can see that
Next term = Previous term × variable + variable2
First term = 1
Second term = First term × 1 + 12
? Second term = 1 × 1 + 12 = 1 + 1 = 2 ;
Third term = Second term × 2 + 22
? Third term = 2 × 2 + 22 = 4 + 4 = 6; 6 is wrong. It should be 8. Here, 6 is the wrong number.
Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 32
? Fourth term = 8 × 3 + 32 = 24 + 9 = 33 ;
Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 + 42
? Fifth term = 33 × 4 + 42 = 132 + 16 = 148 ;
Sixth term = Fifth term × 5 + 52
? Sixth term = 148 × 5 + 52 = 740 + 25 = 765 ;
Seventh term = Sixth term × 6 + 62
? Seventh term = 765 × 6 + 62 = 4590 + 36 = 4626 .
New series is given as :-
First term = wrong term × 1 + 12 = 6 × 1 + 12 = 7;
Second term = wrong term × 1 + 12 = 6 × 2 + 22 = 16.
Hence Second term of new series is 16 .

97 ? L
Correct Answer: 30, 86, 13, 77
Explanation:
From above given matrices I and II , we can see that
F ? 04, 11, 23, 30, 42
O ? 55. 67. 79, 86, 98
