Explanation

Let's say Asad gives x sweets to Ahsan.

Then, Asad will have 20 - x sweets left.

And Ahsan will have 55 + x sweets.

We want Ahsan to have four times as many sweets as Asad, so we set up the equation:

55 + x = 4(20 - x)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

55 + x = 80 - 4x

Add 4x to both sides:

55 + 5x = 80

Subtract 55 from both sides:

5x = 25

Divide by 5:

x = 5

So Asad should give 5 sweets to Ahsan.

Then, Asad will have 20 - 5 = 15 sweets.

And Ahsan will have 55 + 5 = 60 sweets.

Indeed, Ahsan will have four times as many sweets as Asad: 60 = 4 × 15.

The correct answer is: 5

Explanation

The pattern appears to be the number of letters in each word:

DRIVER has 6 letters, but the value is 7 ( possibly due to a additional constant or a different calculation)

PARLIAMENTARIAN has 15 letters, but the value is 16 (again, possibly due to a additional constant or a different calculation)

If we apply the same pattern to SECRETARY, which has 9 letters, we get:

SECRETARY = 10 (using the same offset as before)

So, the correct answer is: 10

Explanation

Horse (an older or archaic term for a male horse) is to Mare (a female horse)

Fox (a male fox) is to Vixen (a female fox)

Explanation

Dollar : Dime :: Century: Decade

A dime is worth one-tenth of a dollar.

A decade is one-tenth of a century (10 years in a decade, 100 years in a century).

Explanation

The pattern of the sequence appears to be an alternating addition of 9 and 2:

12 + 9 = 21

21 + 2 = 23

23 + 9 = 32

32 + 2 = 34

34 + 9 = 43

So, the missing number is: 43

Explanation

Pair up the letters of the alphabet as follows: A = 1, Z = 26; B = 2, Y =25; C = 3, X = 24; ... M = 13 , N =14. So, we have a correspondence between 13 pairs of letters: ( A, Z) , (B, Y), ( C, X), (D,W), (E, V), (F, U), (G, T), (H, S), (I, R), (J, Q), (K, P), (L, O), (M, N).

Thus:

H = S

O = L

L = O

Y = B

and...

L = O

O= L

W= D

So, the whole analogy is :

HOLY: SLOB as LOW : OLD

Explanation

Bee, Moth, and Ant are insects with six legs, while a Spider is an arachnid with eight legs.

Explanation

The sequence alternates between adding 3 and subtracting 1. Following this pattern:
7 (+3) → 10 (-1) → 9 (+3) → 12 (-1) → 11 (+3) → 14 (-1) → 13.

Explanation

The idiom "make a beeline" means to move quickly and directly toward something.

It much like a bee flying straight to a flower.
