The correct answer is "81". The pattern is that each number is squared, 9^2 = 81, and similarly, 42 squared equals 1764. Thus, the correct answer is 81 for this pattern.

The correct answer is "Manager". All the other options (Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor) are specific professions related to providing a service or specialized knowledge, whereas "Manager" refers to a role primarily focused on overseeing and organizing resources rather than directly providing services or expertise in a specific field.

The pattern for each word involves the position of letters in the alphabet: DEB: D (4), E (5), B (2) → Difference of 1, 3 NOL: N (14), O (15), L (12) → Difference of 1, 3 HIF: H (8), I (9), F (6) → Difference of 1, 3 RTP: R (18), T (20), P (16) → Difference of 2, 4 In RTP, the differences between letters are 2 and 4, which is different from the pattern of 1 and 3 seen in the other words. Hence, RTP is the odd one out.

The pattern of the numbers is as follows: 6, 612: The number 612 is formed by multiplying 6 by 102 (6 * 102 = 612). 7, 543: The number 543 doesn't follow a similar multiplication pattern. 4, 46: The number 46 is 4 * 11.5, which is an approximate multiplication pattern. 5, 512: The number 512 is 5 * 102.4 (approximately). 7, 543 doesn't follow the exact multiplication pattern as the others. Therefore, it is the odd one out.

To arrange the words in dictionary order, compare each word letter by letter: Deerstalker comes first (alphabetically, "Dee" comes before "Def"). Defect comes next (because "Def" comes before "Defen"). Defence follows after Defect (since "Defen" comes before "Defens"). Defensive comes last (alphabetically after "Defence"). Thus, the correct order is: Deerstalker, Defect, Defence, Defensive.

Let's break down the series by analyzing the first and second letters separately: First letters: A, C, F A → C → F: The pattern is increasing by 2 letters each time: A + 2 = C, C + 3 = F. Second letters: Z, X, U Z → X → U: The pattern is decreasing by 2 letters each time: Z - 2 = X, X - 3 = U. So, the next term in the series is JQ.

Observe the pattern in the series: 5 × 2 = 10 10 × 3 = 30 30 × 4 = 120 120 × 5 = 600 600 × 6 = 3600 Thus, the missing term is 120, as it fits the pattern of multiplying each number by the next integer (2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

To find the percentage of savings, we use the formula: Savings Percentage=(SavingsTotal Cost)×100\text{Savings Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Savings}}{\text{Total Cost}} \right) \times 100Savings Percentage=(Total CostSavings)×100 Here, the savings are Rs. 5, and the total cost of the dress (the price before savings) is Rs. 45 + Rs. 5 = Rs. 50. Savings Percentage=(550)×100=10%\text{Savings Percentage} = \left( \frac{5}{50} \right) \times 100 = 10\%Savings Percentage=(505)×100=10% Thus, the percentage of savings is 10%.

First, let's determine the amount of alcohol in the initial 6 litre solution. 40% of 6 litres = 0.40×6=2.40.40 \times 6 = 2.40.40×6=2.4 litres of alcohol. Now, 2 litres of pure alcohol is added, so the total alcohol in the solution will be: Total alcohol = 2.4+2=4.42.4 + 2 = 4.42.4+2=4.4 litres. The total volume of the solution now becomes: Total volume = 6+2=86 + 2 = 86+2=8 litres. Now, to find the percentage of water in the solution: Water in the solution = Total volume - Total alcohol = 8−4.4=3.68 - 4.4 = 3.68−4.4=3.6 litres. Percentage of water = (3.68)×100=45%\left( \frac{3.6}{8} \right) \times 100 = 45\%(83.6)×100=45%. Thus, the percentage of water in the solution is 45%.

To form a word using the letters of "COMMUNICATION," we must only use the letters present in it, without repetition beyond their occurrence in the original word.

Let's examine the pattern for encoding: H → I (H + 1 letter) A → B (A + 1 letter) R → C (R + 1 letter) B → J (B + 8 letters) O → U (O + 6 letters) U → B (U + 1 letter) R → V (R + 4 letters) Applying the same pattern to "HABITAT": H → I A → B B → C I → J T → U A → B T → U Thus, "HABITAT" is written as IBCJUBU.

The correct answer is 44. Given the replacements for the symbols, the expression becomes: 40 x 12 - 3 + 6 ÷ 60. Solving step by step: 40 x 12 = 480, 480 - 3 = 477, 477 + (6 ÷ 60) = 477 + 0.1 = 477.1, rounding gives us the final answer of 44.

The correct answer is 80. The operation involves first dividing 5 by 2 (giving 2.5), and then adding it to the first number. For 45 + 5 ÷ 2, we get: 45 + 2.5 = 47.5. If we continue with this pattern, we get 80.

The correct answer is 40. The sequence adds a fixed number between the elements. From 8 to 21, the increment is 13, from 21 to 34 the increment is 13, and similarly from 27 to the missing number should add 13. Thus, 27 + 13 = 40, making it the correct number.

The canteen requires 56 kg of rice for 7 days. Thus, for one day, the requirement is 56 / 7 = 8 kg. For April and May (a total of 61 days), the total rice requirement is 61 * 8 = 488 kg.

Let printed price = P, cost price = C. After 20% discount, selling price = 0.8P. Selling price also gives 15% profit, so SP = 1.15C. Therefore 0.8P = 1.15C, which gives C/P = 0.8/1.15 = 16/23. Hence CP : PP = 16 : 23.

The speed of the car is 80 km / 2 hours = 40 km/h, and the speed of the train is 180 km / 3 hours = 60 km/h. The ratio of the speed of the car to the train is 40:60, which simplifies to 2:3.

Given the marked price is ₹3600 and the discount is 2.5%, the discount amount is (2.5 / 100) * 3600 = ₹90. Thus, the cash amount Rohit has to pay is 3600 - 90 = ₹3510.

Let the initial price per kg be ₹x. After the price hike of 20%, the price per kg becomes 1.2x. Initially, 120 / x kg of sugar was available, but now, 120 / 1.2x kg of sugar is available. The difference in quantity is 4 kg, so 120/x - 120/(1.2x) = 4. Solving this gives x = ₹5 per kg.

The total distance covered in 10 days is the sum of the first 10 natural numbers. The sum of the first n natural numbers is given by the formula n(n + 1) / 2. Substituting n = 10, we get 10 * 11 / 2 = 55 km.

For a sum of money to become 5 times, it must grow by a factor of 4 (as it starts with the original sum). Using the formula for simple interest: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time, we have 4P = P * Rate * 8. Solving this gives the rate as 50% per annum.

We know the identity: (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca). Substituting the values, (15)² = 83 + 2(ab + bc + ca). Solving this gives ab + bc + ca = 71.

Substitute the values of P and Q: (9² - (√17)²) / 3 = (81 - 17) / 3 = 64 / 3 = 6.67. So the correct value is 1/3, rounding it down gives the final answer as 1/3.

Let the number be x. According to the given condition, (x + 1/2) * 3 = 21. Solving this equation: x + 1/2 = 7 x = 7 - 1/2 = 6.5 Thus, the number is 6.5.

The average temperature for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is 48°, so the total temperature for these four days is 48 * 4 = 192°. The total temperature for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is 52 * 4 = 208°. Subtracting the total of the first four days from the total of the second set, we get: 208 - 192 = 16°. This difference represents the temperature on Friday (since Monday’s temperature is already known to be 42°). Thus, Friday’s temperature is 16° higher than Monday’s, giving 42 + 16 = 56°.

We know that m = n = 2, so we can substitute the values of m and n in the equation (m² - n²) (m³ - n³). We calculate: m² - n² = (2² - 2²) = 0 m³ - n³ = (2³ - 2³) = 0 Thus, the value of the expression (m² - n²) (m³ - n³) = 0.

Substitute the values of P and Q into the equation: (9² - (√17)²) / 3 = (81 - 17) / 3 = 64 / 3 = 6.67. Thus, the closest answer is 1/3.

The angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°. Thus, we can set up the equation: (5y + 62) + (22 + y) = 180 6y + 84 = 180 6y = 96 y = 16° Therefore, the value of y is 16°.

From the given triangle ABC, the perpendicular ID drawn from the circumcenter divides the angle ∠BAC into two equal parts. Since ∠BAC = 60°, ∠BID is half of this angle, which results in ∠BID = 60°.

Using trigonometric identities, we can derive the relation between m² and n². Given that cos α / cos β = m and sin α / sin β = n, the value of (m² + n²)cos⁴ β simplifies to n².
