1. Q1.If – means +, × means ÷, ÷ means −, + means ×, what will come in place of the question mark(?)? 32 + 36 × 4 – 21 ÷ 56 = ?

   • A.283
   • B.253
   • C.276
   • D.323
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 253

   Given expression: 32 + 36 × 4 – 21 ÷ 56 = ? After putting the signs, we get: 32 × 36 ÷ 4 + 21 – 56 = ? 32 × 9 + 21 – 56 = ? 288 + 21 – 56 = ? Þ ? = 253

2. Q2.If P denotes '×', Q denotes '÷', R denotes '+', S denotes '−', then what will come in place of '?' in the following equation? 115 Q 23 R ∛64 S 3 P 9 R 44 = ?

3. Q3.Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation. 355 * (12 * 3) * 289 * (186 * 6) * 71

   • A.+, ×, =, +, ÷, +
   • B.÷, −, =, ÷, ×, −
   • C.×, +, −, =, ÷, +
   • D.×, =, −, +, ÷, +
   Show answer

   Answer: A. +, ×, =, +, ÷, +

   Given expression: 355 * (12 * 3) * 289 * (186 * 6) * 71 After putting the signs, we get: 355 + (12 × 3) = 289 + (186 ÷ 6) + 71 355 + 36 = 289 + 31 + 71 391 = 391 LHS = RHS

4. Q4.Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? PORK, NQPM, LSNO, JULQ, ?

   • A.HXJS
   • B.HXKS
   • C.HWJS
   • D.HWKR
   Show answer

   Answer: C. HWJS

   The pattern of the series is as follows: P O R K –2 +2 –2 +2 N Q P M –2 +2 –2 +2 L S N Q –2 +2 –2 +2 J U L Q –2 +2 –2 +2 H W J S Here, the 1st and 3rd letters decreased by 2 while the 2nd and 4th letters increased by 1. Therefore, HWJS will complete the series.

5. Q5.Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some sixes are sevens. No seven is an eight. Conclusions: I. All eights are sixes. II. No eight is a six.

   • A.Neither conclusion I nor II follows
   • B.Only conclusion II follows.
   • C.Both conclusions I and II follow.
   • D.Only conclusion I follows.
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

   . The Venn diagram of the given statements is as follows: 4  (6  3)  19  24 = 4 + 18 – 19 + 24 = 27

6. Q6.Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? 101, 182, 118, 167, ?

   • A.131
   • B.156
   • C.128
   • D.142
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 131

   The pattern of the series is as follows: +81 –64 +49 –36 (9)2 (8)2 (72) (6)2 Therefore, 131 will complete the series.

10. Q10.A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix-II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, for example, ‘Q’ can be represented by 12, 43, etc. and ‘M’ can be reprresented by 67, 99, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word ‘PRICE‘.
