The colors Violet, Blue, Green, and Yellow are all part of the visible light spectrum and are commonly associated with different wavelengths of light. Grey, on the other hand, is not a specific wavelength of light but rather a combination of black and white. Therefore, Grey does not belong to the group of colors that are associated with specific wavelengths of light.

He cost price of 1 apple = 1/10 th of a dollar or Rs 0.10. As Shyam wishes to make a profit of 25%, his selling price per apple will be 0.10 + 25% of 0.10 = Rs 0.125. If the selling price of 1 apple is Rs 0.125, then the selling price of a dozen apples = 12 * 0.125 = Rs 1.5

This follows a basic principle of logic called syllogism. If A is a part of B, and B is a part of C, then A must also be a part of C. In this case, roses are a type of flower, and flowers are a type of plant, so roses must be a type of plant.

A can complete the work in 9 days, while B can complete it in 18 days. If they both work together for 4 days, they would have completed 4/9 + 4/18 = 8/9 of the work. Since B leaves after 4 days, A is left to complete the remaining 1/9 of the work. Since A can complete the entire work in 9 days, it would take him 9 * (1/9) = 1 day to complete 1/9 of the work. Therefore, A will complete the remaining work in 1 day, so the total time taken by A to complete the work is 4 days (initial work) + 1 day (remaining work) = 5 days. Hence, the correct answer is 6 days.

The code for 'is' is 'fi'. This can be determined by looking at the given codes for different phrases. In the phrase 'where is it', the code for 'is' is 'fi'. Therefore, 'fi' is the correct code for 'is'.

The given sequence follows a pattern where the first letter of each set of three letters is in alphabetical order, and the second and third letters are in reverse alphabetical order. Applying this pattern, the missing set of three letters should start with the letter 'O', followed by 'N', and then 'P'. Thus, the correct answer is ONP.

The given code is a simple letter shift cipher where each letter is shifted forward by one position in the alphabet. In the word "RELATED," each letter is shifted forward by one position, resulting in "EFUBKDQ." Applying the same shift to the letters in "RETAINS" would result in "TOJBSDQ."

When the digits in the number 94276153 are rearranged in ascending order from left to right, none of the digits will remain in the same position. This means that the answer is "none."

The code for 'she' is 'ho'. This can be determined by looking at the given codes for different phrases. In the code 'here she is', 'here' is represented as 'fi', 'she' is represented as 'ho', and 'is' is represented as 'sa'. Therefore, the code for 'she' is 'ho'.

Both statements i and ii provide information about the positions of P and Q in the row of boys. Statement i tells us that P is eighth from the right end, while statement ii tells us that Q is ninth from the left end. Combining these two statements, we can determine that there are 30 - (8 + 9 - 1) = 14 boys between P and Q in the row. Therefore, both statements are required to answer the question accurately.

The group consists of pairs of letters that are immediate neighbors of each other in the circle, except for FE. In the given information, it is stated that E sits second to the left of C, which means that F cannot be an immediate neighbor of E. Therefore, FE does not belong to the group.

H is the immediate neighbor of both B and F because it is stated that B is an immediate neighbor of G, and there is only one person sitting between B and F. Since H is the only option left, it must be the correct answer.

To measure 90 minutes using two candles that each burn for 1 hour (60 minutes) — but not at a uniform rate — here's the step-by-step solution:

Step 1: Light Candle 1 at both ends and Candle 2 at one end at the same time.

When you burn a candle from both ends, it takes half the time to burn completely.

So, Candle 1 will burn completely in 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes:

Candle 1 has fully burned out.

Candle 2 has burned for 30 minutes from one end → half of it is left.

Step 2: Now light the other end of Candle 2 as well.

Since only half of the candle is left and now it's burning from both ends, it will take another 15 minutes to burn completely.

Total time:

First 30 minutes (Candle 1 burns out)

Then 15 minutes (remaining of Candle 2 burns out)

30 + 15 = 45 minutes

BUT — you were asked to measure 90 minutes, not 45.

You're actually supposed to repeat this process twice:

Do the steps above once = 45 minutes

Then repeat the same exact steps with two fresh candles = another 45 minutes

The numbers 13, 43, 53, and 73 are all two-digit numbers, while 33 is a two-digit number. However, 33 is the only number in the group that is a multiple of 11, making it the one that does not belong.

The words "wheel," "tyre," "door," and "gear" are all parts of a car, while "car" itself is the whole object. Therefore, "car" is the one that does not belong to the group.

Given number: 6 3 8 5 4 7 1

Digits: 6 (even), 3 (odd), 8 (even), 5 (odd), 4 (even), 7 (odd), 1 (odd)

Step 1: Modify each digit

Subtract 2 from even digits:

6 → 6 - 2 = 4

8 → 8 - 2 = 6

4 → 4 - 2 = 2

Add 2 to odd digits:

3 → 3 + 2 = 5

5 → 5 + 2 = 7

7 → 7 + 2 = 9

1 → 1 + 2 = 3

Step 2: Form the new number:

4 5 6 7 2 9 3

Step 3: Identify the digits:

Fourth digit from the left: 7

Fifth digit from the right: Since the number has 7 digits, the 5th digit from right is the 3rd digit from left → 6

Step 4: Calculate the difference:

Difference = 7 - 6 = 1

Answer: 1

The conclusion "No plant is a root" follows from the given statements because if no fern is a plant and all roots are ferns, then it can be inferred that no plant can be a root.

Statement B states that two Mongolian horses can be bought for the price of three Arabian horses. This information allows us to determine the ratio of the prices of Mongolian horses to Arabian horses, which is 2:3. Since the question asks how many Mongolian horses can be bought for the value of three Australian horses, we can use this ratio to find the answer. If two Mongolian horses can be bought for the price of three Arabian horses, then the price of two Mongolian horses is equivalent to the price of three Australian horses. Therefore, the answer is B and not A (only B).

Given:

At 6 o'clock, the clock ticks 6 times.

Time between the first and last tick is 30 seconds.

Step 1: Find the interval between ticks at 6 o'clock

There are 6 ticks, which means there are 5 intervals between them (since intervals = ticks - 1).

Time between first and last tick = 30 seconds

So, each interval = 30 seconds ÷ 5 = 6 seconds

Step 2: Calculate the time at 12 o'clock

At 12 o'clock, the clock ticks 12 times, which means 11 intervals.

Total time = 11 intervals × 6 seconds = 66 seconds

Answer:

At 12 o'clock, the time between the first and last tick is 66 seconds.

Rahul started from point A and walked 4 m towards the west. Then he took a left turn and walked 12 m, reaching point B. At point B, he turned in a certain direction and walked until he reached a point from where point A was exactly 12 m towards the North. Since Rahul started from point A and walked towards the west, and then turned left, it means he turned towards the south. Therefore, the direction he turned at point B must be east, as it is the only direction left.

Solution:

Let C.P be Rs.x

Then,

2% of x=(400 - 380)=20
x/50 = 20 x
x= =1000.

The correct answer is "S". The pattern in the given letters is that each letter is the last letter of the first word and the first letter of the second word. In this case, the first word is "ROWELLOS" and the second word is "TRAP". The last letter of the first word is "S" and it is also the first letter of the second word.

Based on the given seating arrangement, B is an immediate neighbor of G. Similarly, A is related to H based on the given seating arrangement. Therefore, following the same pattern, D must be related to G.

2 weighing ( Divide the number of coins into 3 parts at each weighing)

The given words and their corresponding translations are:
- "answer it right" is written as "ba ja nu"
- "where is it" is written as "fi ba to"
- "right from here" is written as "sa vi ja"
- "here she is" is written as "fi sa ho"

From these translations, we can deduce that:
- "nu" represents "right"
- "ko" represents "answer"
- "ja" represents "it"

Therefore, the correct representation for "absolutely right answer" would be "nu ko ja".

If the merchant initially marked her goods up by 50%, she would be selling them at a price 50% higher than the cost price. In order to sell at no profit or loss, she needs to reduce the selling price back to the cost price. To find the maximum discount percentage, we need to calculate the percentage decrease from the marked price to the cost price. This can be done by dividing the increase by the marked price and multiplying by 100. So, the maximum discount percentage would be (50/150) * 100 = 33.33%.

Suresh is five ranks below the top student Samir. This means that there are five students between Suresh and Samir in terms of their ranks. Since there are forty students in total, the rank of Samir from the bottom would be 40th. Since Suresh is five ranks below Samir, his rank from the bottom would be 40th - 5th = 35th. Therefore, the correct answer is 35th.

The letters IEST can be rearranged to form the words "site" and "ties". These are the only two meaningful English words that can be formed using these letters, as each letter can only be used once in each word. Therefore, the correct answer is Two.

Statements:

Some planets are stars.

Some orbits are stars.

These are some-type statements, meaning they are partially affirmative and don’t tell us about all members of the categories.

Conclusion 1: No orbit is a planet.

This is a universal negative statement.

From the given statements, we don’t have any direct connection between orbits and planets.

We cannot conclude a universal negative from two “some” statements.

Conclusion 1 does not follow.

Conclusion 2: At least some stars are planets.

This is a rewording of Statement 1: "Some planets are stars."

By conversion, this implies:

→ Some stars are planets

Conclusion 2 follows.

Solution :

Let the labeled price be Rs.x. Then, 120% of x = 2880

Therefore x=(2880×100/120) = 2400.

C.P = 85% of Rs.2400 = Rs(85/100x2400) =Rs.2040.

To find the price at which the plot must be sold in order to gain 15%, we can use the concept of percentages. If the owner loses 15% when selling the plot for Rs. 18,700, then the selling price represents 85% of the original price. To find the original price, we can divide Rs. 18,700 by 0.85. This gives us a value of approximately Rs. 22,000. To calculate the selling price that would result in a 15% gain, we can multiply Rs. 22,000 by 1.15. This gives us a value of Rs. 25,300, which matches the given answer.

There are 4 people sitting on 4 sides of a rectangular table (assume one person per side).

T says: "M is sitting opposite to me"

→ So if T is on one side, M is directly opposite.

R says: "N is sitting towards right of T"

→ So N is to the right of T (relative to T’s perspective).

Step-by-step seating:

Let’s fix T on the bottom side of the rectangle (facing the table).

Then, to T's right, the person is on the left side of the table (T’s right is the left-hand seat from top view).

So, N is sitting on the left side.

M is opposite T → so M is on the top side.

That leaves R on the right side.

Final layout (clockwise from bottom):

Bottom → T

Left → N

Top → M

Right → R

Question: Who is sitting towards the right of N?

From N’s perspective (N is on the left side, facing inward), the person to N’s right is at the bottom side → T.

The bird starts flying from one train to the other as soon as the trains start moving towards each other. Since the speed of the bird is 100 km/hr and the distance between the trains is 50 km, it will take the bird 0.5 hours (50 km / 100 km/hr) to reach the other train. During this time, the bird will have traveled a distance of 100 km (100 km/hr x 0.5 hr). Therefore, the correct answer is 100.

The given statements state that all lines are circles and some circles are squares. From these statements, we cannot conclude that no square is a line (conclusion one) because there is a possibility that there are squares that are not circles. Similarly, we cannot conclude that some squares are definitely not circles (conclusion two) because there is a possibility that there are squares that are also circles. Therefore, neither conclusion one nor conclusion two follows from the given statements.

Whale – a mammal that lives in water

Crocodile – a reptile, lives on land and water (amphibious)

Frog – an amphibian, lives on land and in water

Snake – a reptile, mostly terrestrial (some aquatic species)

Fish – an aquatic animal, lives only in water

Pattern:

All except Whale are cold-blooded animals:

Crocodile, Frog, Snake, Fish → cold-blooded

Whale → warm-blooded (mammal)

Alternatively:

All except Whale lay eggs:

Crocodile, Frog, Snake, Fish → lay eggs

Whale → gives live birth

Final Answer: Whale

Because it is the only warm-blooded mammal among reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

The second digit is 4, and the fourth digit is 6. Combining these digits in the order given gives 46, which is not a perfect square. Reversing the digits gives 64, which is a perfect square (8 × 8). Since 8 is an even number, the answer is 8.

By comparing the letters in MOUNTS and VPNRSM, we can see the code shifts letters by a pattern:

M → V (shift +11)

O → P (shift +1)

U → N (shift -7)

N → R (shift +4)

T → S (shift -1)

S → M (shift -6)

Using the same pattern for PERUSE:

P (+11) → S

E (+1) → G

R (-7) → S

U (+4) → V

S (-1) → S

E (-6) → G

So, PERUSE → SGSVSG.

D sits second to the left of A. We know that C is an immediate neighbour of both G and A. Since C is not sitting second to the left of A, it must be D. Additionally, E sits second to the left of C, so D must be the one sitting second to the left of A.

If we consider the numbers from 1 to 40, we can see that there are 10 numbers that are exactly divisible by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40) and 10 numbers that have 4 as one of the digits (4, 14, 24, 34, 40). However, the number 24 is counted twice since it satisfies both conditions. Therefore, we need to subtract one from the total count. So, the number of numbers left out is 10 + 10 - 1 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 28 (40 - 19).

Solution:

Let the cost price of 1 article be Rs 1.
Therefore, cost price of 20 articles = 20 * 1 = Rs 20

The selling price of 25 articles = cost price of 20 articles = Rs 20.

Now, we know the selling price of 25 articles. Let us find the cost price of 25 articles.

Cost price of 25 articles = 25 * 1 = Rs 25.

Therefore, profit made on sale of 25 articles = Selling price of 25 articles - cost price of 25 articles

= 20 - 25 = - Rs 5.

As the profit is in the negative, the merchant has made a loss of Rs 5.

Therefore, % loss = (Loss/Cost Price) * 100

% loss = [ -5/25 ] *100 = 20% loss.

The moon rotates around its axis in 80 hours.

It also completes a rotation around the planet in 20% of 80 hours =

20% of 80 = 0.2 × 80 = 16 hours → So 1 full orbit around the planet = 16 hours

We are asked to find:

How many degrees of rotation around the planet did a point on the moon complete between:

December 4, 6AM → December 7, 10PM

Step 1: Calculate total time in hours

From Dec 4, 6AM to Dec 7, 10PM

Break it down:

Dec 4, 6AM → Dec 5, 6AM = 24 hours

Dec 5, 6AM → Dec 6, 6AM = 24 hours

Dec 6, 6AM → Dec 7, 6AM = 24 hours

Dec 7, 6AM → Dec 7, 10PM = 16 hours

Total time = 24 + 24 + 24 + 16 = 88 hours

Step 2: How many degrees does the moon rotate around the planet per hour?

1 full orbit = 360 degrees in 16 hours

So, degrees per hour = 360 ÷ 16 = 22.5 degrees per hour

Step 3: Total degrees in 88 hours

= 88 × 22.5 = 1980 degrees

The question does not provide any information about the number of TV-set containers or the total number of containers in a shipment. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the number of appliances in a shipment based on the given information. Hence, the correct answer is "Insufficient Data".

In the word COMPUTERS, there are more than three pairs of letters that have the same number of letters between them as in the English alphabet. To determine this, we need to count the number of pairs that have a specific number of letters between them. However, no matter how we count, we will always find more than three pairs that satisfy this condition. Therefore, the answer is more than three.

D is second to the right of H in the given arrangement.

Both conclusions follow from the given statements. The first conclusion, "some gliders are definitely not birds," can be inferred from the second statement which states that "no kint is a glider." This means that there is no overlap between gliders and kints, implying that some gliders are definitely not birds. The second conclusion, "at least some birds are kites," can be inferred from the first statement which states that "all kits are birds." This means that there is a possibility of some birds being kites, although it is not explicitly stated.

Ranjan can do work in 20 days

Renu can do work in 30 days

Ranjan works alone for 5 days

Then both work together

Step 1: Work done by Ranjan in 1 day = 1/20

So in 5 days = 5 × 1/20 = 5/20 = 1/4

Work left = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Step 2: Work done by Ranjan and Renu in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/30

LCM of 20 and 30 = 60

So:

1/20 = 3/60

1/30 = 2/60

Total = 3/60 + 2/60 = 5/60 = 1/12

Step 3: Time to finish 3/4 work at rate 1/12 per day

= (3/4) ÷ (1/12)

= (3/4) × (12/1)

= 36/4 = 9 days

The correct answer is "Highest Common Factor". HCF stands for Highest Common Factor, which is a mathematical term used to find the largest number that can evenly divide two or more numbers. It is also known as Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). The other options provided in the question are not valid explanations for the acronym HCF.

Let’s analyze each statement to determine how M is related to R.

Statement I:

M has only one brother and two sisters, of which one is N.

This tells us about M’s siblings, including N.

But it gives no information about R.

Statement I alone is not sufficient.

Statement II:

R is the mother of N.

This tells us R is N's mother.

But we don’t know M's relation to N (unless we know M and N are siblings).

Statement II alone is also not sufficient.

Combining I and II:

From I: M and N are siblings.

From II: R is mother of N.

So, if M and N are siblings, and R is mother of N, then R is also mother of M.

Now we can say M is the child of R.

Final Answer: both follows

We are given the number 561234 and asked:
