Firstly, I focussed on "If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me". The first thing that comes to mind which we can’t see is the "AIR". So now, what 4 letter words can be formed ending with "AIR"? Think of all the words from A to Z, considering which one lies above you. That is how we get to "HAIR". Now, which 5 letter word can be formed ending with "HAIR"? Starting with A to Z, we reach "CHAIR" and also, it lies below us. And the required answer is "CHAIR".

Answer : 4. "84.8"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 84.8 Explanation: Let 'M' be the maximum marks in the examination. Therefore, Madhu got 32% of M = 32M/100 = 0.32MAnd Kumar got 42% of M = 42M/100 = 0.42M.In terms of the maximum marks Kumar got 0.42M - 0.32M = 0.1M more than Madhu. ---- (1) The problem however, states that Kumar got 16 marks more than the cut-off mark and Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off mark. Therefore, Kumar has got 16 + 8 = 24 marks more than Madhu. ---- (2) Now, Equating (1) and (2), we get0.1M = 24 => M = 24/0.1 = 240'M' is the maximum mark and is equal to 240 marks.We know that Madhu got 32% of the maximum marks.Therefore, Madhu got 32 x 240/100 = 76.8 marks.We also know that Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off marks. Therefore, the cut-off marks will be 8 marks more than what Madhu got = 76.8 + 8 = 84.8.
