Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:09]Hello everyone. So, today I'm doing a live.

[00:00:13]It's actually I am live, okay? So, let's see how many people can figure this one out. I'm giving you all let's say 1 minute to figure this out. And a lot of people have already mentioned that a lot of people thought that the answer for this one was supposed to be five, but that, my dear friends, is incorrect.

[00:00:35]So, tell me what is the correct answer for this one?

[00:00:54]Welcome everyone. So, yes, like I said, the answer for this one is not supposed to be five, okay? So, you will have to tell me what do you think, sorry.

[00:01:09]So, please tell me your answers in the comment section. Okay? I'm giving you all 2 minutes to figure out. Please tell me what should be your answer. Hi. Hi.

[00:01:21]Hi Asif, how are you doing?

[00:01:24]Come on quickly. Who all can figure this out? Tell me.

[00:01:29]The question is 11 is to four.

[00:01:33]Okay? Then, 12 12 is to what? We need to figure that out.

[00:01:42]What do you think should be the answer?

[00:01:43]Today I'm going to do three puzzles, and all of these answers I will obviously tell you all.

[00:01:50]Oh, wow. Hi. Hi Asif. Oh, you're from Malaysia. Wow, very good. Very good.

[00:01:59]Why no? Why no?

[00:02:01]Oh, you can try. You can try. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for you all to figure it out. Come on, you can do it.

[00:02:06]You can do it.

[00:02:10]Think. Think what we should do for this one. Today we are doing three puzzles, okay? This is the first puzzle.

[00:02:16]And uh let's see how many of you all can figure this out. Then very quickly I'll explain also what is the answer for this one.

[00:02:26]How are you all doing by the way?

[00:02:30]So, today we are doing just math puzzle, Asif.

[00:02:33]I'm more keen on doing math puzzles, but if you want me to do any specific topics, then you please let me know. I will definitely make another live tomorrow for the same.

[00:02:45]44 by 11. Mhm. No, that's not correct.

[00:02:53]48. Oh, oh, okay. No. No.

[00:02:58]No. Try. Try. Try.

[00:03:01]The question is that 11 is to 4, then 12 is to what? We need to figure that out.

[00:03:15]You all can see the question correctly, right?

[00:03:26]Uh not kind of a ratio means you need to find a relation between There's a relation between 11 and 4, and the same relation should get applied between 12 and this number.

[00:03:38]So, how do we do it?

[00:03:43]These are the kind of questions which are being asked in SSC, Bank PO, UPSC.

[00:03:49]CETs, all kind of CETs will ask these kind of questions.

[00:03:53]So, you will have to tell me what answer you're getting or what you think is the answer.

[00:03:59]No, answer. Someone Asif said said eight. No, the answer is not eight.

[00:04:12]You can even tell me Asif, you can tell me what is what you think the answer is eight.

[00:04:21]No, it's not a fraction. It's a it's a math puzzle. Means like I said, you need to find between 11 and 4, this same relation should get replicated here as well.

[00:04:40]Think think think guys, come on. You can do it. My subscribers are like really smart.

[00:04:48]And if you all want me to do more of these live sessions, then please type a yes in the comment section.

[00:04:56]No, the answer is not a fraction. The answer is a proper number.

[00:05:02]I will and also tell me what time I should do a live. I think this time is a good time for me to do a live or probably somewhere between 7 to 8 or maybe 9 or 10 Indian standard time.

[00:05:22]That's all right. Even she can give it a try Asif. Come on.

[00:05:31]All right, I got you.

[00:05:33]You all can give a like to the live session. Please do a like give a like and please keep subscribing to my channel. It really really means a lot.

[00:05:41]Guys, you have no idea how much important you all are to my channel or to me for that matter.

[00:05:51]16. No, the answer is not You can tell me how you thought that the answer is 16. If you can just tell me, I can let you know whether what you thought was correct or not.

[00:06:10]Come on, guys.

[00:06:15]Okay, you want me to give the answer?

[00:06:22]If you want me to give an answer, please tell me a yes.

[00:06:27]Uh-huh, no, no, no. That's not correct.

[00:06:31]That's not correct.

[00:06:34]Okay, guys. So, here is the explanation.

[00:06:36]So, this is basically a math puzzle, okay? And like I've said, the answer is not five. Here, we need to find the correlation between 11 and four in such a way that the same correlation get replicated on this side as well. So, now Sorry.

[00:06:52]So, now when you see, we have 11 and four. If you look at the digits, 11, one and one. So, 1 + 1 gets you two.

[00:07:01]Okay? So, here 2 squared gets you four.

[00:07:06]Similarly, the digits of 12 is 1 + 2 is three. So, 3 squared the answer for this puzzle comes out to be nine. Okay? But yes, lot of people think Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. Very good.

[00:07:24]I'm so happy.

[00:07:26]But here, a lot of people even think that this two can also be written as what? 2 multiplied by 2.

[00:07:33]So, here, lot of people would end up with an answer of 3 multiplied by 2, which is six. That is also correct.

[00:07:41]Okay? So, these kind of questions no kids they ask with options. So you're in your options either the option would be of six or nine.

[00:07:52]Okay?

[00:07:53]I hope this is extremely clear to everyone. Now should I move to the next puzzle?

[00:08:00]Guys you're all not liking the video.

[00:08:02]Come on, please do uh give a like.

[00:08:11]Yep. Okay. Okay, so next puzzle is a little bit tricky one. I want you all to figure this out. And this is one of my favorite puzzle, okay? So the question is use any operations means you can uh use divi percentage Okay, you can use addition, multiplication, subtraction division, anything to make all of these equations correct. Okay, oh wow. The first one is already there. 2 + 2 + 2 is three is six which is correct.

[00:08:45]That is absolutely correct.

[00:08:50]Yes Asif, I am a tutor. I'm a tutor in math and I train kids for all these entrance exams.

[00:08:59]Brilliant, brilliant. The second one is also correct. Very very good. Very very good.

[00:09:08]Superb, superb.

[00:09:10]Fourth one is also correct.

[00:09:14]Very good. Very good. Now let others also give it a try.

[00:09:17]Most of the answers are already given by Shah the boy, Shash the boy.

[00:09:23]I might have pronounced it wrong. Please excuse me for that.

[00:09:28]But please please go ahead and give it a like. You're not liking my video.

[00:09:41]Maybe I see the channel is around uh uh how many years old? Our channel is 8 years old because I had started in 2018.

[00:09:50]And I think last since last 2 years I am posting daily.

[00:09:55]So yeah, maybe if you had subscribed to my channel in 2018, then you might be my first subscriber.

[00:10:12]Okay, so yeah, like I said, the answer for this puzzle was I think actually I don't need to even solve it because most of it was solved by someone. Oh, wow, very nice.

[00:10:26]Very nice. That's really nice.

[00:10:31]Oh, is it?

[00:10:33][laughter] That's cheating. I thought you would do it on your own. That's absolutely cheating. Come on, you can't do that.

[00:10:47]Okay, so for those of you who can't figure it out, here we are allowed to use any So here if we see what all I can use is plus, minus, multiplication, division, and percentages, or anything factorial, whatever you want, okay? So if see 2 plus 2 gets you 4, and 2 plus 2 gets you 6.

[00:11:08]Now 3 multiplied by 3 gets you 9, minus 3 will get you 6.

[00:11:13]Now root of 4, root of 4, root of 4, when you add them. So that is basically getting you what this only, 2 plus 2 plus 2.

[00:11:22]Okay, similarly for 5, what we can do is 5 divided by 5, which is getting you 1, plus 5 gets you 6. Okay? So, now let's go to the next one. Okay? I hope everyone has figured this out. Okay? Do you all want me to go to to go to the next puzzle?

[00:11:42]Type a yes so that I know that this one is completely understood by all of you all.

[00:11:52]Yeah. So, now we are going to the last puzzle for today's live.

[00:11:57]This is the puzzle.

[00:12:00]The puzzle is uh 4 2 {question mark} 3 6 9.

[00:12:06]So, what should be the value of {question mark}? For this one, I'm going to give you at least 2 minutes because this one is a difficult one.

[00:12:24]Also, please do give a like and subscribe to my channel. It really really means a lot to me.

[00:12:31]And for those of you who are new, please remember I'm going to try and give puzzles every alternate day at least bare minimum or probably every day around this time. Okay? And my channel is specially dedicated to clear all your doubts of mathematics and to you know make these kind of puzzles.

[00:12:51]Okay? And I really So, sometimes I solve even CAT level questions. So, yeah. And if you have anything else like if you want me to solve uh any particular topic or any particular question, you all can put this in the live comment section. I will definitely make a video on the same as soon as possible.

[00:13:17]Come on, guys. Figure it out.

[00:13:37]Uh-huh, it's not 2.5. It's not 2.5. Can you please explain me the logic in that?

[00:13:49]Yeah, I think both of you all got the same answer. Can you please explain me logic in that?

[00:14:03]Yes, guys. I know I know a lot of people are not able to figure this out. I'm going to give you a No, it's not a median logic. No, no, no.

[00:14:13]Hi, Johnny. Welcome. Welcome to the channel.

[00:14:16]Uh no, unfortunately, the answer is not zero as well.

[00:14:24]But you can tell me Uh no, I would still want to wait a little bit for us to start with the hints.

[00:14:37]You know, like put it in the comment section. What are your thought process?

[00:14:39]We can, you know, try that.

[00:14:44]Come on, guys. This is I know this is not very easy, but you can figure it out. How How you got Asif, how did you get four?

[00:15:04]Yep. Yep. Yep.

[00:15:07]No, no. Unfortunately, the answer is not four as [laughter] That I understood. But then three multiplied by two, if you do the same, which will work over here.

[00:15:17]And your it will not work, no?

[00:15:21]6 multiplied by 2, mm-mm, not working.

[00:15:23]And if that was the case, then here this divided by two gets you two.

[00:15:29]So, then no, that trick isn't working over here.

[00:15:33][laughter] No, but it's good. I'm happy that you can try. At least you're all trying. I'm very happy to see that.

[00:15:40]I'm honestly very happy to connect with everyone today. Seriously, it's been so long since I've thought of, you know, like doing a live and I thought I kept pushing it, kept pushing it. And finally all the exams of my students have got gotten over. Now only one exam is left, which is JIPMAT. So, yeah. Please do wish me and my kids all the best. You know, the exam is happening in June. I really hope that they do well.

[00:16:08]So, yeah. Think think think, guys.

[00:16:13]Thank you so much. Yes, I will definitely give it a shot. I will definitely try to come live more often.

[00:16:19]Unfortunately, I kept pushing it.

[00:16:21]Honestly, I could have done more.

[00:16:24]Mm, six. No, dear. Answer isn't six, but you can tell me how did you think of six?

[00:16:43]So, you did you were thinking something on like on the lines of alternate, probably minus plus minus plus. Correct? No, I'm I'm sure you will get very surprised with the answer.

[00:16:56]It's not even five as well. I can tell you as a hint, I can tell you the answer is not a decimal number.

[00:17:02]It is not a decimal number. Like a lot of people in the beginning guessed that the answer is one answer is a five point 2.5.

[00:17:19]No, the answer is not seven. So, now I think it's about time that I should start explaining. What do you think?

[00:17:27]Okay, so final guess. Come on, final guess.

[00:17:30]Just guess it. It's okay. I don't want you to do the working. Just guess what should be the final guess. Come on.

[00:17:36]Let's see who gets it right. Let's see whose intuition is working fine today.

[00:17:47]Come on. Come on. Just guess the answer and in within 1 minute I'll definitely Oh, wow.

[00:17:55]One more answer.

[00:17:59]Okay, so your guess Asif, your guess is one. Sorry, your guess is two. Okay.

[00:18:04]Okay, that's not bad. That's not bad at all. At all.

[00:18:09]What about others? Come on. Come on.

[00:18:11]Hello, just guess. I'm not asking you to show me the working. I'm not asking you to put in the logic. If this was the question and you just had one minute or probably 10 seconds, then what answer would have been your guess? Come on.

[00:18:23]Tell me. Kids, come on. You can do it.

[00:18:28]Okay, so Asif, you are absolutely right.

[00:18:32]Your guesswork has done wonders. Okay, now let me just quickly explain the question. So, today's question we have is uh four is followed by two and then we have to find what is this. And after that we have three and then we have six and then we have nine. So, now when you have something like this, you look over here. Here, it is multiplication of two.

[00:18:53]Okay? And here, if I'm talking about multiplication over here, then probably we will do 2.5.

[00:19:03]Okay?

[00:19:05]But, that is not making sense in this case. Say then in this case, how do we do this?
