This is what you have for the equation. The following are the numbers that you can use to fill in the brackets: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. You can repeat the numbers if required. The resulting sum should be 30.

Tally your answer with these, see if you're IAS material or not. 

A1- Concrete floors are very hard to crack!

A2- The other half.

A3- The candidate who was selected answered, "I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir.”

A4- There is no mention if you can use sign or not and thus the only possible way to get this is as follows: (15 - 9) + (13 - 7) + (7 - 1) + (9 - 1) + (13 - 9). If you solve inside the brackets, you will get the following equation 6 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 4. Adding all these numbers will give you 30.

A5- Jamie is a window cleaner who was tired after cleaning the windows on the 45th floor and thus leaped inside the building.

A6- Draw a tilted line on 1st plus (+) operator, + will become 4. The equation then becomes true: 545+5=550.

A7- The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. Easy one, right?

A8- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

A9- The letter 'e', which is the most common letter used in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

A10- Girl -"I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband."

A11- May is the name of the town..

A12- The peahen lays eggs.

A13- Nine.

A14- What. It stated 'WHAT' was the mother's name.

A15- The plane was on the runway.

A16- No time at all it is already built.

A17- He sleeps at night.

A18- Liquid

A19- People will start thinking of Ayodhya, Mithila (Janak's place), Lanka etc. But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar  comes after Raamavathaar. So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated Diwali at all!
