The cost of a washing machine is 75% less than the cost of a TV. If the cost of the
washing machine increases by 77% and that of the TV decreases by 27%, then what is
the change in the total cost of 8 washing machines and 2 TVs?
-
A.
Increase by 31%
-
B.
Increase by 25%
-
C.
Decrease by 22%
-
D.
Decrease by 29%
Correct Answer:
B. Increase by 25%
Explanation:
To find the pattern, look at the numerical positions of the letters in the English alphabet:
Pattern 1: SKIB to OGNG
S (19) - 4 = O (15)
K (11) - 4 = G (7)
I (9) + 5 = N (14)
B (2) + 5 = G (7)
The logic is -4, -4, +5, +5.
Pattern 2: CUCV to YQHA
C (3/29) - 4 = Y (25)
U (21) - 4 = Q (17)
C (3) + 5 = H (8)
V (22) + 5 = A (27 or 1)
The logic matches: -4, -4, +5, +5.
Applying the logic to QIRK:
Q (17) - 4 = M (13)
I (9) - 4 = E (5)
R (18) + 5 = W (23)
K (11) + 5 = P (16)
The resulting word is MEWP.
