Q1.'A # B' = A is son of B; 'A @ B' = A is mother of B; 'A & B' = A is wife of B; 'A % B' = A is sister of B. If 'M @ R % K # G # N & T', which statement is NOT correct?
- A.M is the mother of K.
- B.N is the paternal grandmother of K.
- C.R is the daughter of G.
- D.T is the paternal grandfather of M.
Show answer
Answer: D. T is the paternal grandfather of M.
M is mother of R, R sister of K, K son of G, G son of N, N wife of T. So T is M's father-in-law (not paternal grandfather of M). Statement 4 is incorrect.
Q2.Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it. 14 16 13 18 6 ? 12 21 17
- A.8
- B.6
- C.7
- D.5
Show answer
Answer: D. 5
Pattern per row: [b · (a÷2)] + (digit product of a) = c. Row1: [16·7]+4 = 112+4? Per source: [(b · (a÷2)) − adjustment] gives Row 2 = 5.
Q3.What was the day of the week on 17 April 2014?
- A.Wednesday
- B.Friday
- C.Saturday
- D.Thursday
Show answer
Answer: D. Thursday
Using day-of-week calculation: 17 + 6 (Apr code) + 6 (2000s code) + 14 + 3 (leap years) = 46. 46 mod 7 = 4 → Thursday.
Q4.In a certain code language, 'FRENCH' is coded as '114' and 'LOSS' is coded as '47'. How will 'COURSE' be coded in that language?
- A.103
- B.120
- C.87
- D.81
Show answer
Answer: C. 87
Code = sum of opposite-letter positions + number of letters. C↔X=24, O↔L=12, U↔F=6, R↔I=9, S↔H=8, E↔V=22. Sum=81. +6 letters = 87.
Q5.Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 36 ÷ 81 ÷ 9 × (88 − 4) + 14 + (22 + 7) = 169
- A.9 and 36
- B.36 and 14
- C.14 and 22
- D.81 and 36
Show answer
Answer: B. 36 and 14
Swapping 36 and 14: 14÷81÷9×(88−4)+36+(22+7) = 14÷9×22+36+29 = 126−22+36+29... per source = 169.
Q6.The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown. How would this paper look when unfolded?
- A.Option 1
- B.Option 2
- C.Option 3
- D.Option 4
Show answer
Answer: B. Option 2
Reversing the folds and reflecting the cuts symmetrically yields the pattern in option 2.
Q7.Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. 16 : 144 :: 28 : ?
- A.263
- B.544
- C.420
- D.364
Show answer
Answer: C. 420
Pattern: a·(a÷2) + a. 16·8+16 = 128+16 = 144. Similarly 28·14+28 = 392+28 = 420.
Q8.Select the correct mirror image of the given combination when the mirror is placed at MN as shown. Qe1fP54
- A.Option 1
- B.Option 2
- C.Option 3
- D.Option 4
Show answer
Answer: D. Option 4
When the mirror is placed at MN (horizontal), letters reverse left-to-right and flip. Option 4 is the correct mirror image.
Q9.Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Statements: No bank is an office. All offices are stalls. Conclusions: I. No bank is a stall. II. No stall is a bank. III. Some stalls are offices. IV. All the stalls are offices.
- A.Only conclusion I follows.
- B.Both conclusions I and IV follow.
- C.Only conclusion III follows.
- D.Both conclusions I and II follow.
Show answer
Answer: C. Only conclusion III follows.
From the Venn diagram: All offices ⊂ stalls; no bank is office. Some stalls are offices (III follows). Banks may overlap with stalls outside offices, so I and II don't follow universally. IV is too strong.
Q10.Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. THME, WKJB, ZNGY, CQDV, ?
- A.FTAS
- B.FUAS
- C.FTAR
- D.FTBS
Show answer
Answer: A. FTAS
Position-wise: +3, +3, −3, −3. C+3=F, Q+3=T, D−3=A, V−3=S → FTAS.
