 ANSWER KEY AND & EXPLANATIONS

1. (b) is the right answer Now, it is clear that 3 (carry) + four times a
2. (b) is the right answer single digit number gives us a single digit
3. (a) is the right answer number.
4. (a) is the right answer So, O has to be 0 or 1. O = 0 is not possible
5. (b) It is given in the question that each letter as given in the question, So O = 1 & T = 7.
represents a single digit number. In the above 14. (a) With the help of given figure we can conclude
fig. S + M + carry (if any) is equal to MO. But that N is an even number. So the possible
as we all know that the sum of two single digit Values for E & N are:
number (with carry) cannot be more than 19, I. If N is 2, then E is either 3 or 8.
so M = 1. II. If N is 4, then E is either 1 or 6.
Then S is either equal to 8 or 9. In both the III. If N is 6, then E is either 4 or 9.
cases O = 0. IV. If N is 8, then E is either 2 or 7.
Now we know that N cannot be 0 or 1. It From all the above possibilities only N = 8 & E
means that N is not giving us any carry for the = 2 is satisfying all the given requirements. So,
sum of S & M. So S. has to be 9 N = 8 & E = 2.
N = E + I i.e. ‘N’ is one greater than E. Now, it is clear that 3 (carry) + four times a
However, in second step of addition above single digit number gives us a single digit
(carry (0/l) + N + R) gives a number with E at number.
unit’s place which means that carry = 1 and R So, O has to be 0 or 1. O = 0 is not possible
= 8, so that together carry + R = 9. as given in the question, So O = 1 & T = 7.
Now, after some hit & trial we have N = 6, E = 15. (d) After interchanging, we get:
5, D = 7, Y = 2. Hence, 46- 38÷ 2 + 29 x 1 = 56
LHS = 46- 19+ 29= 56
=56= RHS
16. (b) After interchanging, we get:
Digits 3 & 4 are not represented by any letter. 72 + 14 - 2 x 16 ÷ 4 = 78
6. (c) N = 6 & R = 8 ⇒ N × R = 48. LHS= 72+ 14- 8
7. (d) is the right answer =78= RHS
8. (b) is the right answer 17. (d) 20 R 12 T 4 Q 6 W 5 =?
9. (a) is the right answer
⇒ ? = 20 - 12 ÷ 4 x 6 + 5
10. (b) On the basis of give information the position of
⇒ ? = 20 - 3 x 6 + 5
letters will be as:
⇒ ? = 20-18+5 = 7
18. (c) 15 # 12 @ 8 $ 2 & 6 = 15 - 12 + 8 ÷ 2 x 6
= 15 - 12 + 4 x 6
11. (b) is the right answer = 15 - 12 + 24
12. (b) is the right answer = 39-12 = 27
13. (b) With the help of given figure we can conclude Explanations (Q19 and Q20):
that N is an even number. So the possible
Values for E & N are:
I. If N is 2, then E is either 3 or 8.
II. If N is 4, then E is either 1 or 6.
III. If N is 6, then E is either 4 or 9.
IV. If N is 8, then E is either 2 or 7.
From all the above possibilities only N = 8 & E
= 2 is satisfying all the given requirements. So,
N = 8 & E = 2. 19. (a) is the correct answer.
20. (b) is the correct answer.
