1.

Good day to all the gurus in the house.....kindly help to decode the questions below.......thanks

cc: farady

Thanks for your observation and clear analysis

It really takes a community to raise a CHILD

God bless you sir

iceberg54:


Good job. All your answers are correct. However, rule 2 does not apply to question 24.

21-17=4

Here is my rule and it works for every question:

Sample 1: 12+6-0=18 , 15+6-3=18 , 18+6-6=18

Sample 2: 9+6-0=15 , 12+6-3=15 , 15+6-6=15

So basically subtract 0, 3 and 6 respectively from each column.

20) 8+X-0=17, X=9

21) X+10-0=10, X=0

22) X+30-6=43, X=19

23) X+6-3=13, X=10

24) 14+8-0=X, X=22

thanks so much sir....may God reward you abundantly

I have taking time to analyse the puzzle and I still think I am in order.

[1] Taking a look at the two samples, for the first one there is a relationship between the numbers flowing to the left hand side i.e 12, 6 in the box and 18 in the triangle i.e 12 + 6 = 18. Similarly for the second sample 9 + 6 = 15.

[2] The three numbers at the top increases from left to right incrementally by 3

So to solve question 20: 8 + Y = 17, Y = 9

Question 21 Y + 10 = 10 , Y = 0

for Question 22: 13, 16, ? . So applying rule [2] above the next number is 16+3 = 19
also applying rule [1] 13 + 30 = 43

Question 23 7, ? , 13. The missing number is 7+3 = 10
note applying rule [1] 7 + 6 = 13

Question 24: 14 + 8 = 22

guys please help to look at this samples and the corresponding questions.....kindly help in decoding it....thanks

@farady....so sorry i have been a bit busy....thanks for all your help

Thanks guys for all the help you have freely given to us......we really appreciate......kindly help to look at the questions below......thanks.....

Thanks so much sir.....God bless you abundantly

farady:


The product of the numbers on the 'cliff' = sum of the numbers on the "valley"

Ex 1 : 4 x 3 = 6 + 6

ex 2 : 5 x 4 = 10 + 10

ex 3 : 9 x 2 = 12 + 6

so for the question, 3 x Y = 7 + 11 OR 3Y = 18

Therefore Y = 6

Thanks so much sir.....

farady:


Multiply the numbers on one arrow. Do same for the other arrow and subtract the lower from the higher

example 1: (6 x 3) - (7 x 2) = 4

ex 2 : (8 x 3) - (7 x 4) = 5

ex 3: (4 x 5) - (5 x3) = 5

so for question (5 x Y) - (3 x 4) = 13

(5 x Y) = 13 + 12 = 25

5Y = 25 therefore Y = 5

worked fine too.....thanks

farady:


Using simple logic, the upper figure increases by a multiple of 3 while the lower bar decreases by subtracting 2

or your question 37, subtracting 2 from 7 gives 5

It worked out very well with all the questions......thanks so much

farady:


Add all the numbers to your left hand side and divide the sum by the number in the triangle.

so for the example 1 : 8+4+12 = 24 divided by 3 = 8
example 2 : 6+5+9 = 20 divided by 4 = 5

Ex 3 : 15+10+24 = 49 divided by 7 = 7

so for the question 33 : 4+12+2 = 18 divided by 6 = 3

i want to once again say a big THANKS to everyone who has helped us out in figuring out these questions, God bless you all......kindly help to look at the questions below and see if you can help in solving it......thanks

Thanks so much for this.....the solution worked for all the questions.....God bless you....

I may post more questions whenever we encounter the ones we cant handle.....once again thanks to everybody who has helped out.....cheers!

This is not intractable unlike the first one you posted

The number in circle raised to the power of the number above it, then the result is multiplied with the next number
i.e 4 ** 2 = 16, 16 * 3 = 48
1 ** 2 = 1, 1 * 3 = 3
5 ** 1 = 5, 5 * 4 = 20.

femi4:
It must be a typo error just like we have in the second attachment.

Why not use the latest edition, i believe it ll have less error

We have the newest edition....the person that pointed out the error used an older edition

ericmor:


Sorry, the first is 16/2= 8

8/4= 2

Second is 1+2+3= 6
1+3=4 and 6-4= 2
Apply the same as the second to the third question and u will get that too

One rule is supposed to be used to solve all the samples..

femi4:
The middle part where you have "2" is "1"

2*4 * 2*3=48

1*1 * 1*3= 3

In the first sample....16 + 8 + 4 = 28.....not 2, this worked out for the other samples as well as the other questions....thanks

tunde705:
The 2 in the first sample should be 28. Add the first 3 numbers to give you 28. I have the 14th edition and the 2 is 28 in it.

Thanks....this actually worked ...I added '8' to the '2' in the first sample and we were able to solve all the questions....I really appreciate....

Thanks for putting this on the front page and thanks to all who have contributed....really appreciate.....kindly help to decode this also......

I really appreciate your kind words.....i am putting in the time so as to encourage my son and develop some strong bonds....

Pavore9:


I tell you your kids will be more motivated if you as their dad take out time to do such with them, such things are what children easily when they are adults.

this is simple......ADD THE 2 NUMBERS AND DIVIDE YOUR ANSWER BY 7.....when there is a remainder you put the remainder in front of the dot....or point.....or period

Businessideas:

My wife said the same thing about this problem until I decoded it.
Don't try these common entrance questions o. You will rack your head tire

naturalwaves:

There is a typo in the first one. The 3rd example is poorly typed. the questions. Let's see.

4/2=16/8

3/6=1/2

It's UGO C UGO.....the new edition doesn't come with answers

egopersonified:
is this ugo c ugo or the compendium, they are supposed to come with answers
