Solutions
Solution 1:​ Position of Reema from left = Position of Shreya from left + Position of Reema from Shreya
= 11 + 5 = 16th
Position of Reema from right = Position of Aishwarya from right + Position of Shreya from Aishwarya =
17 + 5 = 22nd
Total number of girls = (Sum of the positions of Reema from both sides) - 1
= (16 + 22) - 1
= 37

Solution 2: ​P x Q → P is the father of Q

Q + Y → Q is the sister of Y
Y > Z → Y is the son of Z
Hence, Z is the wife of P.

Solution 3:​ X + Y → X is the sister of Y

Y > M → Y is the son of M
M - N → M is the brother of N
Therefore, X is the niece of N.

Solution 4: ​From the given statement, A > B ≥ C; D < B < E , we can conclude:
A > B, D < B. Therefore, A > D.
B ≥ C, B < E. Therefore, C < E.

Solution 5:​ From the given statement, P < Q = O ≥ N > M, we can conclude:
Q = O, O > M, therefore, Q > M
P<N

Solution 6:

Solution 7:

Solution 8:​ As per the question, we get the following two arrangements:
Solution 9: ​The pattern of the given series is as follows:
22 + 12 = 23
23 + 22 = 27
27 + 32 = 36
36 + 42 = 52
52 + 52 = 77
77 + 62 = 113

Solution 10: ​The pattern of the given series is:

(5 x 5) + 5 = 30
(30 x 6) + 5 = 185
(185 x 7) + 5 = 1300
(1300 x 8) + 5 = 10405
(10405 x 9) + 5 = 93650

Solution 11:​ The pattern of the given series is:

330 + 63 + 1 = 547
547 + 53 + 1 = 673
673 + 43 + 1 = 738
738 + 33 + 1 = 766
766 + 23 + 1 = 775

Solution 12:​ Number of illiterates in village D = (4 / 17) x 5100 = 1200

Number of illiterate females in village D = (100 - 42) % of 1200
= 58% of 1200 = (58 / 100) x 1200 = 696

Solution 13:​ Number of literates in village G = (8 / 19) x 3990 = 1680

Number of illiterate women = 60% of 1680 = (60 / 100) x 1680 = 1008
Number of illiterates in village G = (6 / 19) x 3990 = 1260
Therefore, number of illiterate males in village G = 1260 - 1008 = 252

Solution 14:​ Number of literates in Village C = 7/9 x 2709 = 2107

Number of illiterates in Village A = 2/11 x 2354 = 428
Difference between the number of literates in Village C and the number of illiterates in Village A = 2107
- 428 = 1679.

Solution 15:​ Number of literates in village F = (5 / 7) x 4921 = 3515

Now, the number of literates in village A = (9 / 11) x 2354 = 1926
Therefore, required percentage = [(Number of literates in village F - Number of literates in village A) /
Number of literates in village A] x 100
= [(3515 - 1926) / 1926] x 100
= 82.50

Solution 16:​ Equation I ⇒ p = (93)

⅔
⇐ p = (9)3 x ⅔ = (9)2 = 81
Equation II ⇒ q2 = (± 85)2
⇐ q = ± 85
But since q > 0, therefore, q = 85
Hence, p < q

Solution 17:​ Equation I ⇒ p2 - 11p - 11p + 121 = 0

⇐ p(p - 11) - 11(p - 11) = 0
⇐ (p - 11) (p - 11) = 0
⇐ p = 11
Equation II ⇒ q2 = (113)
⅔
⇐ q2 = (11)2
⇐ q = 11
Therefore, p = q
