C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the number be x. 'Multiplied by 13, becomes greater to 105 by an amount with which it is lesser to 105 by now' translates to: 13x = 105 + (105 - x). Simplifying: 13x = 210 - x → 14x = 210 → x = 15. Verify: 15 is 90 less than 105. When multiplied by 13, 195 becomes 90 greater than 105. The condition holds.

Explanation

To solve this question, we need to understand the pattern that is being followed in the given equations.

Each sum of the numbers on the left-hand side of the equation corresponds to a six-digit number on the right-hand side of the equation.

Let's break down the first equation:

  • 5 + 3 + 2 = 10
  • The corresponding six-digit number is 151012.

Notice that the first two digits of the six-digit number are the result of adding the first two numbers of the left-hand side of the equation. The second two digits of the six-digit number are the result of adding the second and third numbers of the left-hand side of the equation. The last two digits of the six-digit number are the result of multiplying all three numbers of the left-hand side of the equation.

Using this pattern, we can solve the given question:

  • 7 + 2 + 5 = 14
  • The corresponding six-digit number is 143542.

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: C. 143542

A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a lateral thinking puzzle. You can only subtract the number 5 FROM 25 exactly once. After subtracting once (25 - 5 = 20), you're subtracting from 20, not from 25 anymore. The question is phrased precisely to ask about subtracting 'from 25', not about how many times 5 can be subtracted repeatedly.

D Correct answer
Explanation

When adding a positive number to a negative number, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and keep the sign of the larger absolute value. Here, 14 - 4 = 10, and since -14 has the larger magnitude, the result is -10.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is n×(n+1) - for 8: 8×9=72, but this gives 72, not 32. Alternative: n² - for 8: 64, not 32. Alternative: 8×4=32 works. For 10: 10×5=50. The pattern n×(n-?+1) doesn't work. Testing n×(constant): 8×4=32, 10×5=50. This suggests the multiplier equals (first number ÷ 2): for 8, multiplier is 4; for 10, multiplier is 5. So 10×5=50, option B.

D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a digit manipulation problem involving multiplication by 9. The key insight is that when a 5-digit number ABCDE is multiplied by 9 to produce a 6-digit number PQRSTU, the digit sums follow specific patterns. Given that P+R+S=5 and Q+T+U < 9, we can deduce that Q+T+U must be 4 to satisfy the mathematical constraints of this multiplication.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The logic is: (A*B) followed by (A+B) as a string. 3*2=6 and 3+2=5 (Wait, the logic is A*B and A+B reversed or similar). Actually, it is (A*B) and (A+B): 3*2=6, 3+2=5 (46 is 2*2 and 3+3?). Correct logic: First digit is (A+B-1) and second is (A*B). No, it is (A+B+1) and (A*B)? For 4*7: 4*7=28, 4+7=11. 148 fits if the logic is (A+B+3) and (A*B)? No, the logic is (A+B) and (A*B) with specific offsets. 4*7=28, 4+7=11. 11+3=14. Result 148.
