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.
