Solution:

If you see the picture, we have done it by moving the red sticks from their positions. If you know any other way, do share with us.

Solution:

I am number 7 on any phone's number pad.

Solution:

Well, this is possible. They were playing as a team in doubles match against other team.

Solution:

They can say this line only on Thursday.

Explanation:
Let us analyze the statement. If the person who is speaking this line is speaking truth, then the person will have to speak a lie on the next day. But if the person is lying, the next day, that person must speak truth on the next day.

If you notice here, the behavior is changing on the next day no matter what the person speaks. If we create a response table for both Jack and Rose, it will look like this:

Jack Rose
Monday Truth Truth
Tuesday Truth Lie
Wednesday Truth Lie
Thursday Truth Lie
Friday Lie Truth
Saturday Lie Truth
Sunday Lie Truth

Now as you can clearly see, Jack can say this statement on Thursdays and Sundays while Rose can say this statement on Mondays and Thursdays.

Since they are saying on the same day, the required day is Thursday.

Solution:

AMAN

Explanation:
The numbers actually corresponds to the months of the year.

4 - April
5 - May
8 - August
11 - November

Now when you combine the initials of these months, you will get the killer's name i.e. AMAN

Solution:

If you look closely, you will find a sequence in every alternating number.
192, 222 and 252 form one series where 30 is added each time.
021, 324 and 627 form one series where 303 is added each time.

Thus the next two numbers will be 282 and 930.

Solution:

Exactly 60 triangles are present in this picture.

Solution:

You must have heard about the propelling force or the popular quote: 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'.

Here, the man can throw his mobile phone with maximum force on one side and then he will be propelled to the other direction. He will then be able to glide to the other side and escape. The force will be very small but since the surface is frictionless, it will be enough for him.

Solution:

No one can take out any money from the taxi meter because it simply does not contain any money. It just has a timer installed that is used to decide the fare as per the distance covered.

Solution:

7.5Km

Explanation:
Denoting Ashley with A and Cecelia with C

Speed A = 60 km/hr = 1.2 x Speed C [km/hr] = 1 km/ min

Hence Speed C = 60/1.2 [km/hr] = 50 [km/hr] = 5/6 km/ min

Time C = D [km] /Speed C [km/min] = D/Speed C [min] = D/(5/6) min = 6D/5 min = 1.2 D min

Time A = D [km] /Speed A [km/min] = D/Speed A [min] = D/(1) min = D min

Since Time C – Time A = 1.5 min

Then (1.2 – 1)D min = 0.2D min = 1.5 min



Hence D = 1.5/0.2 km = 1.5*5 = 7.5 km

The total distance as calculated above is 7.5 Km.

Solution:

Fooling Around

Solution:

5 + 5 - 1 = 54/6

Note: We have moved one line from the plus sign making it a negative sign to between the digits 54 and 6 making it a divisibility sign.

Solution:

192

Explanation:
I started with the number 192.
Adding the reversed 291 to 192 gave me 483.
Similarly,
483 + 384 = 867
867 + 768 = 1635
1635 + 5361 = 6996

Solution:

4%

Explanation:
Suppose that the initial volume of the water drop was p.

p - (1/4) p = (3/4) p

(3/4) p - (1/5) [(3/4) p] = (3/4) p * [1 - (1/5)] = (3/4) p * (4/5) = (3/5) p

(3/75) p = (1/25) p

1/25 = 4%

Therefore, the required percentage is four percent.

Solution:

The figure comprises of 92 triangles.

Solution:

7 + 8 = 15 and 15 - 9 = 6
6 + 9 = 15 and 15 - 4 = 11

Therefore, (89)^2 will be:
8 + 9 = 17 and 17 - 2 = 15

Solution:

50%

Explanation:
When the coins are tossed there can be eight possible outcomes (2*2*2)
HHH
HTT
HTH
HHT
TTT
THH
THT
TTH

If you find out, we have only four favorable outcomes. Also, the events here are independent and thus we can calculate the probability by using these only.

Thus the probability is 50 percent.

Solution:

    526485
+ 197485
= 723970

Solution:

The matchsticks that are marked with red are to be removed and the final figure will have just two squares. You can remove either pair from the possible four ways.

Solution:

8 is the required number.

Here, by dividing in half, we will actually chop off the digit from the middle. Then you will be left with two zeroes.
