Q:

How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Answer

Technically or logically it is possible only once. As if you subtract 5 from 25 at first te result will be 20. Now, you can't subtract 5 from 25 since the left number is 20.


 


But if you go mathematically, it can be done infinite times and only 5 times without going into the negatives.

Q:

I am a 5 letter word.

I am normally below you. If you remove my 1st letter, you'll find me above you. If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me.

What am I?

Answer

Firstly, I focussed on "If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me". The first thing that comes to mind which we can’t see is the "AIR".


 


So now, what 4 letter words can be formed ending with "AIR"? Think of all the words from A to Z, considering which one lies above you. That is how we get to "HAIR".


 


Now, which 5 letter word can be formed ending with "HAIR"? Starting with A to Z, we reach "CHAIR" and also, it lies below us.


 


And the required answer is "CHAIR".

A) Ace B) Led
C) Deuce D) Tie
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Deuce

Explanation:

When both sides have won the same number of points then: when each side has won one, or two, points, the score is described as "15-all" and "30-all" (or "15-up" and "30-up"), respectively.

However, if each player has won three points, the score is called as "deuce", not "40–all". From that point on in the game, whenever the score is tied, it is described as "deuce", regardless of how many points have been played.
