Top 100+ Verbal Reasoning Mathematical Operations Questions - 1

Question: 1

In an imaginary language, the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are substituted by a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I and j. And 10 is written as ba.
If ‘+’ stands for ‘division’, ‘÷’ stands for ‘multiplication’, ‘x’ stands for ‘subtraction’ and ‘-’ stands for ‘addition’, which one of the following is correct?

(A) 18 ÷ 6 × 7 + 5 - 2 = 22

(B) 18 × 6 + 7 ÷ 5 - 2 = 16

(C) 18 ÷ 6 - 7 + 5 × 2 = 20

(D) 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 - 2 = 18

Ans: D

Using the proper notations in (d), we get the statement as :

18 ÷ 6 × 7 - 5 + 2 = 3 × 7 - 5 + 2 = 21 - 5 + 2 = 18.

Question: 2

If L denotes ÷, M denotes x, P denotes + and Q denotes - , then which of the following statements is true?

(A) 32 P 8 L 16 Q 4 = $$-{3}/{2}$$

(B) 6 M 18 Q 26 L 13 P 7 = $${173}/{13}$$

(C) 11 M 34 L 17 Q 8 L 3 = $${38}/{3}$$

(D) 9 P P L 9 Q 9 M 9 = - 71

Ans: D

Using the proper notations in (d), we get the statement as :

9 + 9 ÷ - 9 × 9 = 9 + 1 - 9 × 9 = 9 + 1 – 81 = 10 – 81 = - 71.

Question: 3

(cd + ef) × bc is equal to

(A) 684

(B) 816

(C) 916

(D) 1564

Ans: B

Given expression = (23 + 45) × 12 = 68 × 12 = 816.

Question: 4

If L stands for +, M stands for -, N stands for x, P stands for +, then 14 N 10 L 42 P 2 M 8 = ?

(A) 153

(B) 216

(C) 248

(D) 251

Ans: A

Using the proper signs, we get :

Given expression = 14 × 10 + 42 ÷ 2 - 8 = 14 × 10 + 21 – 8

                      = 140 + 21 - 8 = 161 - 8 = 153.

Question: 5

If - means ÷, + means x, ÷ means -, x means +, then which of the following equations is correct?

(A) 52 ÷ 4 + 5 × 8 - 2 = 36

(B) 43 × 7 ÷ 5 + 4 - 8 = 25

(C) 36 × 4 - 12 + 5 ÷ 3 = 420

(D) 36 - 12 × 6 ÷ 3 + 4 = 60

Ans: A

Using the proper notations in (a), we get the statement as

52 - 4 × 5 + 8 ÷ 2 = 52 - 4 × 5 + 4 = 52 – 20 + 4

                      = 56 - 20 = 36.
