Solution

The correct option is D 18
Given that after adding 4 to the result we get the number 40 we get the equation as,
$x + 4 = 40$
$∴ x + 4 = 40$
$x = 36$
The Factors of 36 are
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18 and 36 itself.
Now we take a pair of numbers from the factors of 36, which when added gives us the number in the options and when multiplied gives us the result 36.
A. 12 = $6 \times 6 = 36$
B. 13 = $4 \times 9 = 36$
C. 15 = $3 \times 12 = 36$
D. 18 = No pair matches.
E. 20 = $2 \times 18 = 36$
Hence option D is the correct answer.

Q. Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.

In each of the following questions two rows of numbers are given. The resultant number in each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules and the question below the rows of numbers are to be answered. The operations of numbers progress from left to right.

Rules:
i) If the odd number is following by a two digit even number then they are added to each other.
ii) If the odd number is following by a two digit odd number then the second number is to be subtracted from the first number.
iii) If the even number is following by a number which is a perfect square of a number then the second number is to be divided by the first number.
iv) If the even number is following by a two digit even number then the first number is to be multiplied by the second number. 16 400 15

What is the sum of the two resultant numbers of the set of numbers given above?

Q. Directions:- Study the following information carefully to answer the question given below.

Two rows of numbers are given in the question. The resultant number in each row has to be worked out separately based on the following rules. The operation of numbers progresses from left to right.

Rules :
(i) If an odd number is followed by a composite odd number (a non prime number), they are to be multiplied.
(ii) If an even number is followed by an odd number, which not a perfect square, they are to be added.
(iii) If an even number is followed by a number which is the perfect square, the even number is to be subtracted from the perfect square.
(iv) If an odd number is followed by a prime odd number, the first number is to be divided by the second number.
(v) If an odd number is followed by an even number, the second one is to be subtracted from the first one.
[After the operation on the first two numbers, the resultant is to be considered as the number for applying operation between the second number (the number obtained after perform-ing operation between the first and second numbers given in the question) and the third number.]
