Cup : Coffee :: Bowl : Soup

Because Coffee goes into a Cup and Soup goes into a Bowl where Food is a general thing and Mug is an other utensil. 

So, Cup is to Coffee as Bowl is to Soup.

The First Generation Computers size was very large. 

Since the First generation computers used 1000s of vacuum tubes that required lot of space made them gigantic in size. Single transistor could replace 1000 vacuum tubes and a single IC chip replaced 1000s of transistors made computers smaller and more speedy.

It is obvious that computers developed with more power, reliability, speed and smaller sizes due to the enhancement of technology.

Let the sum be Rs. x

a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years.

b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum

--> Sum = S.I for 6 years.

Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000

S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000.

S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000.

--> x = Rs. 6000

Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.

The given number series is 1, 3, 10, 41, 206, ?

It follows a pattern that,

1

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 3 + 1 = 10

10 x 4 + 1 = 41

41 x 5 + 1 = 206

206 x 6 + 1 = 1237

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 1237.

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,

part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30

part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40

Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,

part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60

Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24

i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.

Only one such symbol is there in the given arrangement.

It is 4@5.

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.
