Ans14. d) M x N - C + F
M x N → M is the father of N
N - C → N is the sister of C
and C + F → C is the brother of F.
Hence, M is the father of C or C is the son of M.

Ans15. a) 4 years
Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
5x = 20
x = 4.

is 14.
Ans20. b) Z
Positions of alphabets (A to Z) is (1-26) J+E=10+5=15; J+N=10+14=24;
E+L=5+12=17.
