The statement 'Some roses fade quickly' is not necessarily valid based on the premises 'All roses are flowers' and 'Some flowers fade quickly.' The conclusion would only follow if the subset of flowers that fade quickly includes roses, which is not specified .
The triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 is a right triangle. This classification is based on the Pythagorean theorem, as 3² + 4² = 5², satisfying the condition for right triangles .
The prime factorization of 12 is 2² * 3, and for 18, it is 2 * 3². The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime present in both factorizations, yielding 2² * 3² = 36 .
In an alternating black-white pattern sequence, every odd numbered ball is black and every even numbered ball is white. Therefore, the 10th ball, being even, would be white .
Riya is the daughter of Suresh because if Rohit is Suresh's son and Riya is Rohit's sister, then Suresh must also be Riya's father .
After 4 seconds, if the shape rotates 90° every second, it will have undergone a full rotation of 360°, returning to its original position .
The pattern in the sequence is obtained by adding consecutive even numbers to each succeeding term: 2 + 4 = 6, 6 + 6 = 12, 12 + 8 = 20, 20 + 10 = 30. The next number is found by adding the next even number, 12, to 30, resulting in 42 .
Circle is the odd word out because all other items (Triangle, Square, Pentagon) are polygons with straight sides, whereas a circle is a shape with a continuous curved line .
The probability of getting a head in a coin toss is 0.5 because there are two possible equally likely outcomes (heads and tails), and the outcome space is {Heads, Tails} with one favorable outcome for heads .
To find the average, sum the numbers 5, 10, 20, 15, and 13, which totals 63. Dividing by the number of elements (5) gives an average of 12.6 .
