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".

Q:

Solve the value of D?

Answer

A + B = 15 .... (1)


B x C = 84 .... (2)


C ÷ 4 = 3  .... (3)


B + D = 18 .... (4)


From (3), we get C = 12


From (2), we get B = 84/12 = 7


From (1), we get A = 15 - 7 = 8


From (4), we get D = 18 - 7 = 11


 


Hence, D = 11.
