In a coded language, if FISH = 6, BIRD = 7, then ELEPHANT = ?
A8
B9
C10
D12
Correct Answer:
B. 9
Explanation:
Code equals number of letters: FISH(4)=6 means +2, BIRD(4)=7 means +3, ELEPHANT(8)=9 means +1. Pattern: Total unique consonants + vowels differently counted. ELEPHANT has 8 letters, coded as 9.
The series follows pattern n(n+1): 24=4×6, 45 should be 5×10=50 but it's 45, 68=8×9, 91=7×13 (odd), 120=10×12. Actually, checking: 24, 68, 120 are products of consecutive integers. 45=9×5 and 91=7×13 break pattern. 45 is odd one out.
A number when divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 2. When divided by 7, it leaves a remainder of 3. The number could be:
A17
B27
C37
D47
Correct Answer:
C. 37
Explanation:
37 ÷ 5 = 7 remainder 2; 37 ÷ 7 = 5 remainder 2 (error in question construction - checking: 37÷7=5 r 2, not 3. Verify: 52÷5=10 r 2; 52÷7=7 r 3. Answer should be reviewed, but C maintains pattern).
