Solve 3 Numerical: coded operations questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1If ‘<’ means ‘minus’, ‘>’ means ‘plus’, ‘=’ means ‘multiplied by’ and ‘$’ means ‘divided by’, then what would be the value of 31 > 81 $ 9 < 7?

A 41
B 31
C 33
D 37
Explanation

Replace each coded sign with its stated mathematical operation. The expression 31 > 81 $ 9 < 7 becomes 31 + 81 ÷ 9 - 7. Following the usual order of operations, division is done first: 81 ÷ 9 = 9. The expression then becomes 31 + 9 - 7, which equals 33. The value 41 would result from adding without the final subtraction. The values 31 and 37 do not follow the correct replacement and operation order.

Q2If Q means "+", J means "×", T means "-" and K means "÷", then 30 K 2 Q 3 J 6 T 5 = ?

A 103
B 35
C 38
D 28
Explanation

Replace each coded letter with its given mathematical sign. The expression becomes 30 ÷ 2 + 3 × 6 - 5. Apply the standard order of operations: division and multiplication first, from left to right. Thus 30 ÷ 2 = 15 and 3 × 6 = 18. Now the expression is 15 + 18 - 5, which gives 33 - 5 = 28. The larger values arise only if the operations are read without proper precedence, and 35 or 38 do not match the coded calculation.

Q3If (+) means (×), (÷) means (+), (×) means (-), and (-) means (÷), then the value of 124 ÷ 32 - 8 + 2 × 11 is equal to:

A 120
B 121
C 132
D 144
Explanation

First replace each symbol by its given meaning. The expression 124 ÷ 32 - 8 + 2 × 11 becomes 124 + 32 ÷ 8 × 2 - 11. Now apply normal order of operations: division and multiplication before addition and subtraction. So 32 ÷ 8 is 4, and 4 × 2 is 8. The expression becomes 124 + 8 - 11, which equals 121. The values 120, 132, and 144 come from either replacing the symbols incorrectly or ignoring the usual operation order.
