Explanation

The coding pattern follows the rule where the code for a word is the cube of the number of letters present in that word.

For the word PBI, the number of letters is 3, and 3³ = 27.

For the word ZEBRA, the number of letters is 5, and 5³ = 125.

Applying the same logic to the word BIRD, the number of letters is 4, and 4³ = 64.

Explanation

To find the code for the word 'hot', we compare the two given statements:

First statement: 'cooler is hot' is written as 'tp rc dl' Second statement: 'hot weather comes' is written as 'rc dn nz'

The only common word between the two statements is 'hot'. Similarly, the only common code between the two coded representations is 'rc'. Therefore, the word 'hot' is coded as 'rc'.

Explanation

The relationship between the given pair of words, Strong and Robust, is that of synonyms, as both words share a highly similar meaning of being physically powerful or sturdy. Similarly, the words Kind and Generous are synonyms because both describe a benevolent, helpful, and giving nature.

Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms in the series are perfect squares of consecutive integers starting from 2:

17 - 13 = 4 = 2² 26 - 17 = 9 = 3²

Following this pattern, the next difference must be 4² = 16. Adding this to the third term gives the missing number:

26 + 16 = 42

This pattern is verified by checking the subsequent terms in the series:

42 + 5² = 42 + 25 = 67 67 + 6² = 67 + 36 = 103 103 + 7² = 103 + 49 = 152

Explanation

Applying the interchange of the mathematical signs where × becomes -, - becomes ×, + becomes ÷, and ÷ becomes + to the expression 36 + 18 × 9 ÷ 13 - 19:

36 ÷ 18 - 9 + 13 × 19

According to the BODMAS rule, perform division first: 36 ÷ 18 = 2

Next, perform multiplication: 13 × 19 = 247

Finally, perform addition and subtraction: 2 - 9 + 247 = 240

Explanation

To find the day of the week on 20 March 2019 starting from 20 March 2011, we calculate the total number of odd days between these two dates.

The number of years between 20 March 2011 and 20 March 2019 is 8 years.

Among these years, the leap years are 2012 and 2016, which gives 2 leap years. The remaining 6 years are ordinary years.

Since an ordinary year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd days, the total number of odd days is: (6 × 1) + (2 × 2) = 10 odd days.

Dividing 10 by 7 gives a remainder of 3 odd days.

Adding 3 days to Sunday (Sunday + 3) results in Wednesday.

Explanation

The series follows a specific pattern for each position in the letter-clusters:

First letter: The alphabetical positions increase by 2. P (16) → R (18) → T (20) → V (22) → X (24)

Second letter: The letters are consecutive vowels. A → E → I → O → U

Third letter: Each letter is the alphabetical opposite of the second letter in its cluster, where the sum of their positions equals 27. A (1) is opposite to Z (26) E (5) is opposite to V (22) I (9) is opposite to R (18) O (15) is opposite to L (12) U (21) is opposite to F (6)

Combining these letters gives XUF.

Explanation

The given series follows a specific addition pattern for each corresponding letter position of successive terms based on their alphabetical ranks from A = 1 to Z = 26.

For the first letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 11: J (10) + 11 = U (21) U (21) + 11 = F (32, which is 6 in the 26-letter cycle) F (6) + 11 = Q (17) Q (17) + 11 = B (28, which is 2 in the 26-letter cycle)

For the second letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 13: M (13) + 13 = Z (26) Z (26) + 13 = M (39, which is 13 in the 26-letter cycle) M (13) + 13 = Z (26) Z (26) + 13 = M (39, which is 13 in the 26-letter cycle)

For the third letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 15: P (16) + 15 = E (31, which is 5 in the 26-letter cycle) E (5) + 15 = T (20) T (20) + 15 = I (35, which is 9 in the 26-letter cycle) I (9) + 15 = X (24)

Combining these letters results in BMX.

Explanation

To find the relationship between Q and N, we decode the expression N # M @ O P Q step-by-step from left to right:

N # M means N is the son of M. This establishes that M is a parent of N, and N is male.

M @ O means M is the brother of O. This tells us that M is male, making him the father of N, and M and O are siblings.

O P means O is the daughter of P. Since M and O are siblings, P must be the parent of both M and O.

P Q means P is the wife of Q. This means P is female, Q is male, and they are married. Thus, Q is the father of M.

Since M is the father of N, and Q is the father of M, Q is the father's father of N.

Explanation

Combining the first two statements, all water is earth and all earth is fire, we get that all water is fire. Since all water is contained within the set of fire, there is a guaranteed intersection between fire and water, meaning that some fire is water is definitely true. Thus, conclusion II logically follows.

The third statement states that some fire is air. This indicates an overlap between the set of fire and the set of air, but does not provide any definite connection between the set of air and the set of earth. Since there is no guaranteed overlap between air and earth, conclusion I does not logically follow.

Explanation

The logic behind the given sets is: Second number = First number × 2 Third number = Second number × 4

Applying this pattern to the given sets: For (6, 12, 48): 6 × 2 = 12 12 × 4 = 48

For (8, 16, 64): 8 × 2 = 16 16 × 4 = 64

Applying the same mathematical relation to the set (14, 28, 112): 14 × 2 = 28 28 × 4 = 112

Explanation

The relation between the numbers in each pair is that the first number is divided by 9 to obtain the second number.

Applying this logic to the first pair: 72 ÷ 9 = 8

Applying the same logic to the second pair: 198 ÷ 9 = 22

Following this pattern for 351: 351 ÷ 9 = 39

Explanation

The letter-cluster LHJ has letter positions of L = 12, H = 8, and J = 10. The differences between the consecutive letters are 12 to 8 (-4) and 8 to 10 (+2). This sequence does not follow the consistent pattern of +4 between consecutive letters found in the other clusters, where each letter is obtained by adding 4 to the position of the previous letter.

Explanation

In this mathematical puzzle, the letters represent standard arithmetic operations as follows: A stands for ÷ (division) B stands for × (multiplication) C stands for + (addition) D stands for - (subtraction)

Substituting these operators into the given equation: 82 B 6 D 114 A 2 C 35

We get: 82 × 6 - 114 ÷ 2 + 35

Applying the BODMAS rule:

First, perform the division: 114 ÷ 2 = 57

Next, perform the multiplication: 82 × 6 = 492

Now, substitute these values back into the expression: 492 - 57 + 35

Finally, perform the addition and subtraction: 492 - 57 + 35 = 435 + 35 = 470

Explanation

By analyzing the position of letters in the English alphabetical order, we can determine the pattern for each of the three positions in the terms.

For the first letter of each term, the pattern is to add 3 to the alphabetical position: V (22) + 3 = Y (25) Y (25) + 3 = B (28, which wraps around to 2) B (2) + 3 = E (5) E (5) + 3 = H (8)

For the second letter of each term, the pattern is to add 1 to the alphabetical position: O (15) + 1 = P (16) P (16) + 1 = Q (17) Q (17) + 1 = R (18) R (18) + 1 = S (19)

For the third letter of each term, the pattern is to add 6 to the alphabetical position: H (8) + 6 = N (14) N (14) + 6 = T (20) T (20) + 6 = Z (26) Z (26) + 6 = F (32, which wraps around to 6)

Applying these rules, the missing term is ERZ.

Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms in the series follow a pattern of consecutive odd numbers:

187 - 160 = 27 216 - 187 = 29 247 - 216 = 31

Following this pattern of increasing the difference by 2 each time, the next difference must be 33.

Adding 33 to the last term: 247 + 33 = 280

Explanation

By substituting the correct arithmetic operators for the letters: A stands for ÷ B stands for - C stands for × D stands for +

We substitute these operators into the given equation: 36 - 8 ÷ 56 × 49 + 53

Applying the BODMAS rule, we perform division and multiplication first: 8 ÷ 56 × 49 = (8 / 56) × 49 = 1/7 × 49 = 7

Now, we perform addition and subtraction: 36 - 7 + 53 = 29 + 53 = 82

Explanation

The relationship used is that each letter is replaced by its opposite counterpart in the English alphabet, where the sum of the positions of the original letter and its corresponding coded letter from the left end is 27.

Applying this rule to BARGUANDY: B is 2nd from the start, so its opposite is Y (25th from the start, 27 - 2 = 25). A is 1st, so its opposite is Z (26th). R is 18th, so its opposite is I (9th). G is 7th, so its opposite is T (20th). U is 21st, so its opposite is F (6th). A is 1st, so its opposite is Z (26th). N is 14th, so its opposite is M (13th). D is 4th, so its opposite is W (23rd). Y is 25th, so its opposite is B (2nd).

Combining these opposite letters yields YZITFZMWB.

Explanation

By comparing the two coded sentences, we can identify the common word and its corresponding code. In the first sentence, 'my best friend' is coded as 'ck rl mk'. In the second sentence, 'friend is life' is coded as 'rt mp ck'. The only word common to both sentences is 'friend', and the only code common to both representations is 'ck'. Therefore, 'friend' is coded as 'ck'.

Explanation

The given series is an arithmetic progression with a constant common difference of 21 between consecutive terms.

44 - 23 = 21 65 - 44 = 21 86 - 65 = 21

Applying this common difference to find the next term: 86 + 21 = 107

Verifying with the final term of the series: 107 + 21 = 128

Explanation

The letters of the word SKYLINE are S, K, Y, L, I, N, and E.

Arranging these letters in alphabetical order gives E, I, K, L, N, S, and Y.

Comparing the original position of each letter with its new position: S changes to E K changes to I Y changes to K L remains L I changes to N N changes to S E changes to Y

Only the letter L in the fourth position remains unchanged. The remaining six letters (S, K, Y, I, N, and E) all change their positions. Thus, the position of six letters changes.

Explanation

We decode the expression T × X ÷ Y + Z step-by-step to find the relationship of T to Z:

Y + Z means Y is the brother of Z. X ÷ Y means X is the sister of Y. This establishes that X, Y, and Z are siblings. T × X means T is the father of X.

Since X, Y, and Z are siblings, and T is the father of X, T is also the father of Z.

Explanation

The logic of the relation is that each number is multiplied by 13 to obtain the related number.

For the first pair: 15 × 13 = 195

For the second pair: 19 × 13 = 247

Applying the same mathematical relation to 24: 24 × 13 = 312

Explanation

By interchanging '+' with '÷' and '-' with '×', the given mathematical expression is rewritten.

Original expression: 5 - 63 + 9 ÷ 10 × 6

Substituting the interchanged signs: 5 × 63 ÷ 9 + 10 - 6

According to the BODMAS rule, perform division first: 63 ÷ 9 = 7

The expression becomes: 5 × 7 + 10 - 6

Next, perform multiplication: 5 × 7 = 35

The expression becomes: 35 + 10 - 6

Finally, perform addition and subtraction: 35 + 10 - 6 = 39

Explanation

Original word: C O M P L E X I T Y

Alphabetical order: C E I L M O P T X Y

Comparing the positions: Position 1: Original has C, sorted has C (unchanged) Position 2: Original has O, sorted has E Position 3: Original has M, sorted has I Position 4: Original has P, sorted has L Position 5: Original has L, sorted has M Position 6: Original has E, sorted has O Position 7: Original has X, sorted has P Position 8: Original has I, sorted has T Position 9: Original has T, sorted has X Position 10: Original has Y, sorted has Y (unchanged)

Only the letters C and Y remain in their original positions, which gives a total of two unchanged letters.

Explanation

According to the given statements, there is an intersection between robots and humans because some robots are humans. At the same time, there is no overlap between computers and robots. If all humans were to become computers, then the portion of humans that are robots would also have to be computers. This would mean some robots are computers, which directly violates the statement that no computer is a robot. Therefore, it is impossible for all humans to be computers, which makes conclusion I valid.

Regarding the second conclusion, the statements only specify that some laptops are computers and no computer is a robot. Since there is no relation defined between the remaining part of laptops and robots, a definite overlap between robots and laptops cannot be established. This makes conclusion II invalid.

Explanation

The relationship between the numbers in each set follows a specific pattern where the first number is divided by the second number to get 3, and the second number is divided by the third number to get 4.

Using the formula: First Number = 3 × Second Number Second Number = 4 × Third Number

Applying this to the first given set (84, 28, 7): 84 ÷ 28 = 3 28 ÷ 7 = 4

Applying this to the second given set (144, 48, 12): 144 ÷ 48 = 3 48 ÷ 12 = 4

Applying this same logic to the numbers in the correct set (180, 60, 15): 180 ÷ 60 = 3 60 ÷ 15 = 4

Explanation

The relationship between the words Conquer and Surrender is that they are antonyms, representing opposite actions. Similarly, Unite and Divide are antonyms, as they represent the opposite processes of bringing things together and separating them.

Explanation

From the given expression L - N + O × M + P:

L - N means L is the brother of N, which implies L is male.

N + O means N is the child of O. Since L is the brother of N, L is also the child of O.

O × M means O is the wife of M. This means O is female and M is male, making them the mother and father of N and L.

Since M is the father of L and L is male, L is the son of M.

Explanation

The coding scheme follows a simple rule where each letter in the word is shifted forward by one position (+1) in the English alphabetical order.

Applying this rule to the word RIVER: R + 1 = S I + 1 = J V + 1 = W E + 1 = F R + 1 = S This gives SJWFS.

Applying the same rule to the word PACK: P + 1 = Q A + 1 = B C + 1 = D K + 1 = L

This yields the code QBDL.

Explanation

Interchanging the numbers 35 and 45 in the given equation gives:

45 + (25 × 3 - 35) ÷ 2 + (15 × 4) = 125

Applying the BODMAS rule, first solve the operations inside the parentheses:

25 × 3 - 35 = 75 - 35 = 40 15 × 4 = 60

Substitute these values back into the equation:

45 + 40 ÷ 2 + 60 = 125

Next, perform the division:

40 ÷ 2 = 20

Now, perform the addition:

45 + 20 + 60 = 125 125 = 125

The equation is balanced and correct.

Explanation

By converting the letters to their numerical positions in the English alphabet, where A = 1, B = 2, and so on, the standard pattern among the alike letter-clusters is to increment the positions of successive letters by +1, +7, +1, and +1.

For RSXYZ, the numerical positions of the letters are: R = 18 S = 19 X = 24 Y = 25 Z = 26

The differences between successive letters are: R to S: 19 - 18 = +1 S to X: 24 - 19 = +5 X to Y: 25 - 24 = +1 Y to Z: 26 - 25 = +1

This yields a difference pattern of +1, +5, +1, +1. Since the transition from S to X is +5 instead of +7, RSXYZ does not conform to the established pattern of the other groups.

Explanation

To find the day of the week on 18 November 2020 starting from 17 December 2012, we can first calculate the day on 17 December 2020 and then count backward to 18 November 2020.

The number of years between 17 December 2012 and 17 December 2020 is 8 years. Within this period, there are 2 leap years (2016 and 2020) because the leap day of 2012 has already passed, while the leap day of 2020 is included. The remaining 6 years are ordinary years.

Total odd days between 17 December 2012 and 17 December 2020 = (2 × 2) + (6 × 1) = 10 odd days. 10 odd days ÷ 7 leaves a remainder of 3 odd days. Since 17 December 2012 was Monday, 17 December 2020 is Monday + 3 days = Thursday.

Now, we count backward from 17 December 2020 to 18 November 2020. The number of days from 18 November to 17 December is: Remaining days in November = 30 - 18 = 12 days Days in December = 17 days Total days = 12 + 17 = 29 days.

Converting 29 days to odd days: 29 ÷ 7 leaves a remainder of 1 odd day.

Going backward by 1 day from Thursday (17 December 2020) gives Wednesday.

Explanation

The logic followed in the given pairs is that the first number is divided by 3 to get the second number.

First number ÷ 3 = Second number

Applying this to the first pair: 102 ÷ 3 = 34

Applying this to the second pair: 171 ÷ 3 = 57

Following the same logic for 237: 237 ÷ 3 = 79

Explanation

To determine if the conclusions follow, we can analyze the relationships between the categories of leaves, trees, stones, and grains.

The first statement tells us that some leaves are trees, meaning there is an overlap between the set of leaves and the set of trees.

The second statement establishes that all stones are grain, which means the set of stones is completely contained within the set of grains.

The third statement tells us that some grains are leaves, meaning there is an overlap between the set of grains and the set of leaves.

To evaluate Conclusion I (All grains are trees): The statements do not establish any definite relationship between grains and trees. Since there is no information connecting these two sets, we cannot conclude that all grains are trees. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow.

To evaluate Conclusion II (Some leaves are stones): While all stones are grains and some grains are leaves, the overlapping part between grains and leaves does not necessarily have to include any stones. The set of stones and the set of leaves can be completely disjoint. Therefore, we cannot definitely conclude that some leaves are stones. Conclusion II does not follow.

Explanation

By interchanging "+" with "-" and "×" with "÷", the equation is rewritten as:

92 ÷ 2 + 13 - 2 × 6

Applying the BODMAS rule, division and multiplication are performed first:

92 ÷ 2 = 46 2 × 6 = 12

Substituting these values back into the equation:

46 + 13 - 12 = 47

Explanation

The series follows a specific addition pattern for each letter position in the consecutive terms:

For the first letter of each term: X → Y → Z → A → B → C (increments by +1)

For the second letter of each term: Y → A → C → E → G → I (increments by +2)

For the third letter of each term: Z → C → F → I → L → O (increments by +3)

Applying these rules to find the third term: The first letter is Y + 1 = Z. The second letter is A + 2 = C. The third letter is C + 3 = F.

Combining these letters gives ZCF.

Explanation

The relationship between the numbers in each set (a, b, c) follows the mathematical pattern where the sum of the first two numbers multiplied by their difference equals the third number:

c = (a + b) × (b - a)

For the first set (32, 35, 201): (32 + 35) × (35 - 32) = 67 × 3 = 201

For the second set (26, 29, 165): (26 + 29) × (29 - 26) = 55 × 3 = 165

For the set (23, 26, 147): (23 + 26) × (26 - 23) = 49 × 3 = 147

Explanation

By interchanging the mathematical operators "+" with "-" and "×" with "÷", the given equation is modified as follows:

Original equation: 24 ÷ 10 + 68 × 2 - 16 = ?

Modified equation: 24 × 10 - 68 ÷ 2 + 16 = ?

Applying the BODMAS rule:

First, solve the division: 68 ÷ 2 = 34

Now the equation is: 24 × 10 - 34 + 16 = ?

Next, solve the multiplication: 24 × 10 = 240

Now the equation is: 240 - 34 + 16 = ?

Finally, solve the addition and subtraction: 240 - 34 + 16 = 206 + 16 = 222

Explanation

To find the day of the week on 22 October 2009 given that 27 September 2001 was a Thursday, we calculate the total number of odd days between the two dates.

First, calculate the odd days for the completed years from 27 September 2001 to 27 September 2009: Number of years elapsed = 2009 - 2001 = 8 years. Among these 8 years, there are 2 leap years (2004 and 2008) and 6 ordinary years. Since a leap year has 2 odd days and an ordinary year has 1 odd day: Odd days from years = 2 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 10 odd days.

Second, calculate the odd days from 27 September 2009 to 22 October 2009: Remaining days in September = 30 - 27 = 3 days. Days in October = 22 days. Total days = 3 + 22 = 25 days. Odd days from these days = 25 mod 7 = 4 odd days.

Now, add the odd days together: Total odd days = 10 + 4 = 14 odd days. 14 mod 7 = 0 odd days.

Since there are 0 odd days, the day of the week remains the same. Therefore, 22 October 2009 was also a Thursday.

Explanation

The letters of each term follow a specific mathematical progression based on their numerical positions in the English alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26).

For the first letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 3 to the alphabetical position: D (4) + 3 = G (7) G (7) + 3 = J (10) J (10) + 3 = M (13) M (13) + 3 = P (16)

For the second letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 4 to the alphabetical position: G (7) + 4 = K (11) K (11) + 4 = O (15) O (15) + 4 = S (19) S (19) + 4 = W (23)

For the third letter of each term, there is a constant addition of 5 to the alphabetical position: B (2) + 5 = G (7) G (7) + 5 = L (12) L (12) + 5 = Q (17) Q (17) + 5 = V (22)

Combining these letters yields the next term in the sequence, which is PWV.

Explanation

Correct Answer: D

By decoding the relationships step-by-step from the expression 'N O @ P @ Q R':

The relation 'N O' states that N is the mother of O. The relation 'O @ P' states that O is the son of P. Since N is the mother of O, P must be the father of O. The relation 'P @ Q' states that P is the son of Q. The relation 'Q R' states that Q is the wife of R, which means R is the husband of Q and the father of P.

Since P is the father of O and R is the father of P, R is the father's father of O.

Explanation

The relationship between the letter groups is based on a constant forward shift in the English alphabetical positions of the letters.

By converting the letters to their numerical positions (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26):

In the first pair, QTWA is related to ZCFJ: Q (17) + 9 = 26 (Z) T (20) + 9 = 29, which cycles to 3 (C) W (23) + 9 = 32, which cycles to 6 (F) A (1) + 9 = 10 (J)

Similarly, in the second pair, MKBZ is related to VTKI: M (13) + 9 = 22 (V) K (11) + 9 = 20 (T) B (2) + 9 = 11 (K) Z (26) + 9 = 35, which cycles to 9 (I)

Applying this same logic of adding 9 to each letter's position for EYCM: E (5) + 9 = 14 (N) Y (25) + 9 = 34, which cycles to 8 (H) C (3) + 9 = 12 (L) M (13) + 9 = 22 (V)

This yields the letters NHLV.

Explanation

The series follows an alternating pattern of subtraction and addition:

33 - 1 = 32 32 + 3 = 35 35 - 1 = 34 34 + 3 = 37

Following this alternating pattern of subtracting 1 and adding 3, the next term is obtained by subtracting 1 from the preceding term:

37 - 1 = 36

Alternatively, this can be viewed as two interleaved series with a common difference of +2: The terms at odd positions are 33, 35, 37 (increasing by 2). The terms at even positions are 32, 34, 36 (increasing by 2).

Explanation

By comparing the two coded sentences, we can identify the common word and its corresponding code.

In the first sentence, the words are 'try something new' and the codes are 'db kl jk'. In the second sentence, the words are 'something hurt him' and the codes are 'db pt uk'.

The only word that appears in both sentences is 'something', and the only code that appears in both code groups is 'db'. Therefore, 'something' is coded as 'db'.

Explanation

The given word pair Lend : Borrow consists of antonyms, which are words with opposite meanings. Similarly, the pair Cruel : Kind consists of words that are opposite in meaning to each other, thus representing the exact same antonymous relationship.

Explanation

By interchanging the mathematical operators: The subtraction (−) and division (÷) signs are interchanged. The addition (+) and multiplication (×) signs are interchanged.

Applying these changes to the expression: 123 ÷ 41 + 14 × 2 − 7

According to the BODMAS rule: First, perform the division: 123 ÷ 41 = 3

Next, perform the multiplication: 14 × 2 = 28

Finally, solve the addition and subtraction: 3 + 28 − 7 = 24

Explanation

By assigning the standard arithmetic operators to the letters as follows: A represents ÷ B represents × C represents + D represents -

We can substitute these operators into the expression in option A: 15 B 9 D 810 A 9 C 55 = 15 × 9 - 810 ÷ 9 + 55

Applying the BODMAS rule: First, perform the division: 810 ÷ 9 = 90

Next, perform the multiplication: 15 × 9 = 135

Now, substitute these values back into the expression: 135 - 90 + 55

Finally, perform subtraction and addition from left to right: 135 - 90 = 45 45 + 55 = 100

Explanation

The given series can be divided into four groups of five letters each:

Group 1: Q U A I L Group 2: Q U Y I L Group 3: Q U W I L Group 4: Q U U I L

In each group, the first, second, fourth, and fifth letters remain constant as Q, U, I, and L respectively.

The middle (third) letter of each group decreases by two steps in the reverse alphabetical order, treating A as 27: First group: A (27) Second group: Y (25) Third group: W (23) Fourth group: U (21)

Replacing the blanks with the letters L, U, Q, W, I in order completes this pattern.

Explanation

The coding pattern involves shifting the alphabetical positions of the letters as follows: First letter: +4 positions Second letter: +4 positions Third letter: -2 positions Fourth letter: -2 positions

Applying this pattern to the word CQYH: C + 4 = G Q + 4 = U Y - 2 = W H - 2 = F This gives the code GUWF.

Applying the same pattern to the word MTBE: M + 4 = Q T + 4 = X B - 2 = Z E - 2 = C

This gives the code QXZC.
