Direction(1-2): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
    If ‘M + N’ means M is the father of N If ‘M * N’ means N is the brother of M If ‘M – N’ means M is the wife of N If ‘M # N’ means N is the mother of M If ‘M % N’ means M is the son of N

1. What should come in the place of the question marks (?), to establish that D is father in law C in the following expression? A # C ? N * J ? B- D
    A. %, # B. +, * C. -, # D. %, + E. None of these

2. Which of the following option is true if the expression E + A % C* B % D?
    A. A is brother of B B. E is son of D C. C is father of A D. E is brother in law B E. None of these

Direction[3-5]: In every question two rows are given and to find out the resultant of a particular row you need to follow the given conditions: -
Condition 1: If an odd number is followed by an even number (non-prime) then the resultant will be the modules of difference of both the numbers.
Condition 2: If an even number is followed by a perfect cube then the resultant will be the addition of the both.
Condition 3: If an even number is followed by another even number then the resultant will be the multiplication of both the numbers.
Condition 4: If an odd number is followed by an even number (prime) then the resultant will be the subtraction of the even number from the odd number.
Condition 5: If an odd number is followed by an odd number then the resultant comes by multiplying both the numbers.
Condition 6: If an even number is followed by an odd number the resultant would be the double of the odd number.
3. Find the sum of the resultant of the two rows 2 8 4 3 6 6
    A. 21 B. 37 C. 58 D. 43 E. 78

4. Find the resultant of second row if Z is the resultant of first row
    A. 90 B. 120 C. 150 D. 180 E. 210

5. Fine the product of resultants of these rows
    A. 13 B. 15 C. 17 D. 31 E. 21

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation -

2. Answer - Option D
Explanation -

3. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
First Row resultant
1) even followed by perfect cubeà 2 + 8 = 10
2) even followed by even à 10 * 4 = 40
Second Row resultant
1) odd followed by non-prime even à 6 – 3 = 3
2) odd followed by non-prime even à 6 – 3 = 3
Sum of resultants = 40 + 3 = 43
4. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
First Row resultant
1) Even followed by odd à 64, 9 = 9 * 2 = 18
2) Even followed by perfect cube à 18 + 27 = 45
Z = 45
Second Row resultant
1) Even followed by odd à 12,45 = 45 * 2 = 90
2) Even followed by even à 90 * 2 = 180
5. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
First row resultant
1) odd followed by non-prime even à 8 – 1 = 7
2) odd followed by non-prime even à 8 – 7 = 1
Second row resultant
1) even followed by perfect cube à 4 + 27 = 31
2) odd followed by odd à 31 * 1 = 31
Product of resultants = 31 * 1 = 31
