Day 35 Sleepy CSAT PYQ Series Today, we will be looking at an LR Question. We alternate between RC, LR and Quant PYQs in this series. Try to solve it. Solutions will be provided later today.
Solution to Today's CSAT PYQ
โGiven:
P = +
Q = -
R = x
S = รท
โEquation to solve:
60 _ 15 _ 3 _ 20 _ 4 = 20
The only way here is, to do trial and error with all 4 options
โWhen testing Option (b) QRPS:
We get
60 - 15 x 3 + 20 รท 4
โNow using BODMAS:
Equation becomes: 15 + 5 = 20
โThe correct answer is (b) QRPS.
