Ans 1.
a) 50H 48 min 56 sec

b) 70 m 73 cm

c) 71 kg 910g

d) 91 L 96 ml





Ans 2.
Number of 500 Rs notes = 20
Suppose the number of 1000Rs notes = x
Therefore, 500x20+1000x=20000
10000 + 1000x = 20000
1000x= 20000-10000
1000x = 10000
X=10, Therefore there are 10 notes of Rs1000.




Ans 3.
The total money that Ahana has is = 5000
Money spent on her dresses = 3000
Money left to buy a gift for mother= 5000-3000= 2000



Ans 4.
1,6,13,22,33,46,.. 61,78,97,118
4,9,16,25, 36, 49,64, 81

Ans 5.
87, Logic used is the sum of the place value of alphabets as shown below:
HONESTY=8+15+14+5+19+20+25=106



Ans 6.
657153324, Logic is a particular value assigned to the alphabet in PUZZLER and FAN. We should use the same numerical value to find out the answer. The example value of F=6, U=5, N=7, and so on.



Ans 7.
AM, DP, GS, JV, MY, PB, SE
Logic is skipping count by three of the first alphabet will give you the first alphabet of the next series and skip count by three of the second alphabet gives you the second alphabet and so on.
Example: A, B, C, D. And M N, O P.



Ans 8.
LOVE MATH.
Logic is again the value of each number is given as alphabets as 6=L, 5 =O, 8 =V, 3 =E, etc.



Ans 9.
UZZLEP. The first alphabet changed its position to last.




Ans 10.
57
+ is used to subtract, - is used to multiply and x is used to subtract again.
