Which pairs of bits can be joined together to form two words that have opposite meanings?
Pairs:
Show Hint
- (9, 2), (5, 7)
- (1, 3), (8, 10)
- (1, 5), (10, 8)
- (4, 2), (7, 8)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
We need to find pairs of bits that, when joined, form words with opposite meanings.
Step 1: Analyze Option (1): (9, 2), (5, 7)
Pair (9, 2): RED + UCE = REDUCE
Pair (5, 7): EXP + AND = EXPAND
REDUCE and EXPAND are antonyms (opposite meanings).
Step 2: Analyze Option (2): (1, 3), (8, 10)
Pair (1, 3): ERT + DES = ERTDES (not a standard English word)
Pair (8, 10): SIP + GOS = SIPGOS (not a standard English word)
Step 3: Analyze Option (3): (1, 5), (10, 8)
Pair (1, 5): ERT + EXP = EXPERT (a noun)
Pair (10, 8): GOS + SIP = GOSSIP (a noun) - No clear opposite relationship formed.
Step 4: Analyze Option (4): (4, 2), (7, 8)
Pair (4, 2): END + UCE. If we consider "UCE" as a suffix that can sometimes modify meaning, and "END" signifies termination, we need a word with "UCE" signifying commencement or continuation. "INDUCE" (related to "ENDUCE") means to bring about, which, in a certain context, could be seen as an opposite to "END". This interpretation is less direct than REDUCE/EXPAND. Pair (7, 8): AND + SIP. This combination does not immediately form a common word with an opposite meaning to "AND". Based on the most straightforward interpretation of forming common English words with clearly opposite meanings, Option (1) is the most logical choice. The provided correct answer of (4) suggests a more subtle or puzzle-specific relationship that is not immediately apparent from standard English vocabulary.

Find out the most appropriate conclusion(s) from the following options.You are on an island with two tribes. One tribe always tells the truth, and the other tribe always lies. You meet three individuals from the island: A, B and C. Each individual belongs to one of the tribes. You ask each of them the same question: "Is B a truth-teller?"
A says, "Yes, B is a truth-teller."
B says, "No, I am not a truth-teller."
C says, "B is a liar."- Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting on a round table facing the centre. A sits second to the left of D, who sits third to the left of E. C sits third to the right of G, who is not an immediate neighbour of E. H sits opposite to the E. B is between A and C.
