mozeybee:Very smart answer. Reasoning wide. However, when numbers are written and no base is specified, then it authomatically means it is in base ten. If we are at liberty to choose any base we want then every question will have at least 10 diff answers. That is chaos. |

emmyrichie: Funny hw pple just use their brains to over think, when all they need is just understand d simplicity of life. The question is simple: "Fill the boxes using (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15)" Ans: [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 ] + [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 ] + [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 ] = 30 NB: at times our too much brain, is what kills us. -Life is simple |

(0) + (15) + (15) = 30 Zero is a null number, doesn't have to be there, Anyone else reason like me? |

usmanktg2:Btw, you're right as long as it's not 15 or 16, so it becomes 115+135+15=305. Yes people that is as correct as it comes, nobody said what base you should use, so these types of aptitude questions will usually have different methods of answering, but if you can show them how you came up with the answer and if it's authentic then you are correct. Like here, the largest number in base5 is 4, so when you add 115 and 135 you get 245 then because 45 is the last number just like 910 in base10, when you add 15 you get a 05 then you carry a 15 then you should get 305. 1 Like |

pkjag: Yes! I argued with my friends for long about that the base is not stated, As an electrical engineer, I made them understand 'addition' is a redundant word. It could be binary or oct addition. 1 Like |
Re: Who Can Solve This Simple, Yet Hard Aptitude Test Question by Nobody: 9:12pm On Apr 16, 2015 |
Correction the largest digit and not number in base5 is 45 just like there are numbers like 910 and the larger ones like 1110 are combinations of previous digits cause in base10 we don't have an independent symbol that has a larger value than 910 and that doesn't use the other lesser digits. But in base16 we have from 016 to 916 then instead of 1016 we have A16,B16,C16,D16,E16,F16 so here F16 is the largest digit hope you now understand ![]() |

The type of bracket used in the question suggest a matrix,therefore use the numbers to for a 2by2 matrix in each matrix bracket given,add the three matix to become one matrix,hence the only way combinat of matrix can give a single number is by finding its determinant.im using a phone that is not easy to type i would have solve it here |
Re: Who Can Solve This Simple, Yet Hard Aptitude Test Question by donroso(m): 9:54pm On Apr 16, 2015 |
The simple answer is you Cannot add 3 odd numbers to get an even number. That's why they give u less than a minute to answer... It's simple logic |
