SYMBOL REPRESENTATION

 

This sections deals with question on simple mathematical operation namely ÷, x, + & - along with others namely ‹, =, ›, ≠ etc. These operations are coded using artificial symbols.

The candidate has to make substitution of real signs and then by using DMAS formula, solve the question.

 

Example 1.

If + means ÷, - means x, ÷ means + and x means -, then the value of 36x12+4÷6+2-3

When simplified is :-

a)2
b) 18
c) 42
d) 19/2

Answer : C

 

Solution –

Using proper signs:-

36-12÷4+6÷2x3

= 36-3+3x3

= 36-3+9

= 42

So the correct answer is (c)

 

Example 2.

If P denotes ÷, Q denotes x, R denotes +, S denotes -, then the value of

18Q19P4R5S6, will be ---

a) 36
b) 53
c) 59
d) 65

Answer : B

 

Solution:-

Using correct symbols , we have :-

Given expression = 18x2÷4+5-6

= 18x3+5-6

= 54+5-6

= 53

So the answer is (b)

CODING DECODING

 

Coding is a secretive language which is used to change the representation of actual term / word / value. This coded language can be formed by:-

1. Moving letters one or more step forward or backward

2. Substituting numbers for letters or vice-versa.

3. Writing the letters of the given word in reverse order in part or in whole.

4. Replacing the letters in their natural series by same positioned letters in their reverseseries.

5. Mirror images can also be used.

 

Example.1:-

 

 

If RESULT is coded as 798206, LET will we coded as 

a) 680
b) 092
c) 096
d) 608

 

Answer :- (c) The letters are coded by numbers, and to code the given word , select the respective coded numbers:

 

RESULT === Letters

 

798206 === Code

 

So LET code will be

 

LET == Letters

 

096 == Code.

 

Example. 2:- SKIPPING over letters in formed direction or backward direction.

Ranking is based on the arrangement of things in a particular order. The arrangement may be on the basis of their position, size, age etc.

 

POSITION SERIES TEST :

 

In this series, questions are asked about the positions of persons from up or down, or from left or right etc. Some important types are;-

 

a) In a line girl Advaita‘s position from left is 10^th while Trishala‘s position from right is 16^th . When they interchange their position Trishala‘s position becomes 20^th from left then what will be the position of Advaita from the right :-

 

 

Since, Advaita‘s new position after interchange is 20^th from the left:

Therefore total no. of girls in the

Line = 20 + 15 == 35

Hence, Trishala,s position from the right == (35-10) + 1 == 26^th .
