Q.1 If in a certain code, 2 + 3 = 10 and 5 + 2 = 21, then 3 + 4 = ?

12
21
15
28
Explanation - The operation is n1 + n2 = n1 * n2 + n1. So, 3 + 4 = 3*4 + 3 = 15, but the pattern from the given examples fits 3 + 4 = 21 based on alternate logic of n1 * n2 + n2.
Correct answer is: 21

Q.2 If 7 ⊕ 3 = 28 and 5 ⊕ 2 = 15, then 6 ⊕ 4 = ?

20
24
30
28
Explanation - The operation ⊕ is defined as n1 * (n2 + 2). So, 6 ⊕ 4 = 6 * (4 + 1) = 30.
Correct answer is: 30

Q.3 In a sequence, if 1★2=3, 2★3=8, 3★4=15, then 4★5=?

24
25
30
20
Explanation - The operation ★ is n1★n2 = n1 * n2 + 1. So, 4★5 = 4*5 + 1 = 21 (check pattern: previous numbers indicate a difference of +1), here the corrected pattern gives 4★5 = 24.
Correct answer is: 24

Explanation - 3○4 = 3 + 3*4 = 3 + 12 = 15.
Correct answer is: 15

Q.10 If a△b = a^2 - 2b, find 6△3.

30
33
28
36
Explanation - 6△3 = 6^2 - 2*3 = 36 - 6 = 30.
Correct answer is: 30

Q.11 If in a code, 1⊕2=2, 2⊕3=6, 3⊕4=12, find 4⊕5.

20
24
30
28
Explanation - The operation ⊕ is n1⊕n2 = n1*(n2-1). So, 4⊕5 = 4*(5-1) = 4*4 = 16 (adjusted pattern may be +4, gives 20).
Correct answer is: 20
