Directions for Questions 41 to 60: Read the instructions below and solve the questions based on this.
In an examination situation, always solve the following type of questions by substituting the given options,
to arrive at the solution.
However, as you can see, there are no options given in the questions here since these are meant to be an
exercise in equation writing (which I believe is a primary skill required to do well in aptitude exams
testing mathematical aptitude). Indeed, if these questions had options for them, they would be rated as
LOD 1 questions. But since the option-based solution technique is removed here, I have placed these in
the LOD 2 category.
