( a ) BQDCJCMF
“TERMINAL” split it into the half we get “TERM” “INAL”
Now the first half is decreased by one and the next half is
increased by one, so we get:
“SDQLJOBM” (pls note in the ques we have “SDQIJOBM” where
‘L’ shud have come instead of ‘I’)
so “CREDIBLE” is to “BQDCJCMF”
Put a= 4, b = 2 in the equation and multiplying by 2/2 then you will get same value in right hand side. It mean a is 2a which mean b<a
This is more logical …
Let the 1st flag 1 placed at the origin ….
in crossing 8 flags he traveled 7 distances….
s=d/t
=7/8
time for 4 flags t=(d/s)=4/(7/8)=(4*8)/7=4.5714285714285714285714285714286
w, l=2w , area of square =8^2 = 64
area of rectangle = l*b
so w*2w = 8*64
w=16
length = 32
So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.

Answer is 274 .
Let the required term be x.
Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :
2 – 1 = 1
4 – 2 = 2
13 – 4 = 9
31 – 13 = 18
112 – 31 = 81
2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :
1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y
(Suppose y be next term after 81.)
3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :
(9 * 2)/1 = 18
(18 * 9)/2 = 81
(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)
Thus the required answer is :
x = 112 + y
x = 112 +162 =274

Let ‘x’ be the number of perons in the group and let ‘y’ be
amount per head which they have to pay.
Then xy = 2400.
or y = 2400/x
Since two friends have forget the purse, x-2 persons should
share the total amount(2400).
If they share, they have to make an extra contribution of
Rs 100 to pay up the bill
That is x-2 persons should pay y+100 each
or (x-2)(y+100) = 2400
or y+100 = 2400/(x-2)
or y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Therefore we have got two equations namely,
y= 2400/x and y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Comparing these two, we get
2400/x = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Solving this we get
x^2 – 2x -48 = 0
or (x-8) (x+6) = 0
or x = 8 or x = -6
Since ‘x’ denote the number of persons, it should be
positive.
So, x = 8.
x+y+z
—– = 6800

x>=6400
6400 + y + z = 20400
y + z = 14000
to get the greatest of y and z, lets assume y = 6400
so, z = 7600
so ANS is 7600
