Direction (1
– 5): Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
A number arrangement
machine arranges two digit numbers in typical manner. The first step has been

resultant of previous step.

Solutions:
(1 – 5):
In step I: 7* 5 = 35;
3*2 = 6;
5*
8 = 40; 6*1 = 6;
4*
7 = 28; 9*1 = 9;
In step II: each first
digit and third digit of the numbers are added and then subtracted with second
digit.
(6
+ 3) - 5 = 4; (6 + 4) - 0 = 10; (2+9) – 8 = 3;
In step III: divide the
second number by the first number and also third number by second number.
10/4
= 2.5; 3/10=0.3;
In step IV: subtract
the second number from first number. This is the final output.
2.5–
0.3 = 2.2
1. B) 5/2 + 0/2 +
8/2 = 2.5 + 0 + 4= 6.5
2. C) The final output is ‘2.2’= 5 – 2.2
= 2.8
3. D) The first
digit of the third number in step I is ‘2’ and the second digit of the first
number is ‘5’. Hence, (2, 5)
4. A) The third
digit of the third number in step I is ‘9’ and second digit of the first number
in step I is ‘5’. Hence, 9 – 5 = 4
5. B) The two
numbers obtained in step II are 4, 10 and 3
Hence,
4 *10*3 = 120
