   Answer: B. 8 and 5

   . Given that: PAINT is written as ODYTN and BRUSH is written as CMMOZ. Here, the positional values of each alphabet is added to get a certain number. So, P (16) + A (1) + I (9) + N (14) + T (20) Six students are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. According to the statements, Jose Kabir Prateek eer O (15) + D (4) + Y (25) + T (20) + N (14)  (16 + 1 + 9 + 14 + 20) + (15 + 4 + 25 + 20 + 14)  60 + 78 = 138 And, following sitting arrangement can be made: Hence, Kiran is the immediate neighbour of Ziya.

2. Q2.In a certain code language, ‘EARS’ is coded as ‘4268’ and ‘NICE’ is coded as ‘9723’. What is the code for ‘E’ in the given code language?

   • A.3
   • B.2
   • C.9
   • D.4
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 2

   Given that: EARS is coded as 4268 and NICE is coded as 9723 If we compare both the words, we will get the codes for A, R, S, N, I, C as 4, 6, 8, 9, 7, 3 (in no particular order). So, the only letter left is E and the code left for E is 2. Hence, 2 is the correct answer.

3. Q3.Six people are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. P sits second to the left of Q. S is an immediate neighbour of both Q and U. T sits second to the left of R. Who is the immediate neighbour of both P and U?

   • A.T
   • B.S
   • C.Q
   • D.R
   Show answer

   Answer: A. T

   T U According to the question, following sitting arrangement can be done: P S Hence, T is the immediate neighbour of P and U. R Q

4. Q4.Based on the position in the English alphabetical order, three of the following letterclusters are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd letter-cluster.

   • A.SWYX
   • B.PTVU
   • C.RVXW
   • D.LOQP
   Show answer

   Answer: D. LOQP

   The pattern followed here is: + 4 +2 – 1 Option-1 S W Y X + 4 +2 – 1 Option-2 P T V U + 4 +2 – 1 Option-3 R V X W + 3 +2 – 1 Option-4 L O Q P Hence, LOQP is the odd one out.

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 movies are dramas. Some dramas are fiction. Conclusions: I. Some movies are fiction. II. All fiction are movies.

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

   Answer: C. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

   . Apples Oranges Fruits Apples Oranges FruitsAs per the statements, following Venn diagram can be made: Apples Oranges Fruits Apples Oranges Fruits Hence, XOTP is the odd one out.

6. Q6.Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/ number of consonants/vowels in the word.) Artist : Painting :: Cobbler : ?

   • A.Stitching clothes
   • B.Fixing shoes
   • C.Wooden repair work
   • D.Fixes electricity
   Show answer

   Given pairs: Artist : Painting :: Cobbler : ? As we know, a painting is made by an Artist. Similarly, shoes are repaired by a Cobbler. Hence, Cobbler : fixing shoes is the correct answer.

7. Q7.Which two mathematical signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 15 × 3 ÷ 15 – (45 × 3) – 10 + (13 ÷ 2) = 76

   • A.÷ and ×
   • B.× and +
   • C.× and –
   • D.÷ and +
   Show answer

   Answer: A. ÷ and ×

   Given equation: 15 × 3 ÷ 15 – (45 × 3) – 10 + (13 ÷ 2) = 76 Upon checking option 1 and interchanging ÷ and ×, we get 15 ÷ 3 × 15 – (45 ÷ 3) – 10 + (13 × 2) = 76 ⇒ 5 × 15 – (15) – 10 + (13 × 2) = 76 ⇒ 75 – 15 – 10 + 26 = 76 ⇒ 101 – 25 = 76 ⇒ 76 = 76 LHS = RHS Hence, it is the correct option.

8. Q8.If ‘+’ means ‘–’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation? 23 – 5 ÷ 240 × 8 + 14 = ?

   • A.145
   • B.119
   • C.131
   • D.124
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 131

   Given equation: 23 – 5 ÷ 240 × 8 + 14 = ? After interchanging the signs as per question, we get 23 × 5 + 240 ÷ 8 – 14 ⇒ 23 × 5 + 30 – 14 ⇒ 115 + 30 – 14 ⇒ 145 – 14 = 131 Hence, 131 is the correct answer.

9. Q9.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 movies are dramas. Some dramas are fiction. Conclusions: I. Some movies are fiction. II. All fiction are movies.

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

   Answer: C. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

   . Given equation: 15 × 3  15 – (45 × 3) – 10 + (13  2) = 76 Upon checking option 1 and interchanging  and ×, we get 15  3 × 15 – (45  3) – 10 + (13 × 2) = 76  5 × 15 – (15) – 10 + (13 × 2) = 76  75 – 15 – 10 + 26 = 76  101 – 25 = 76 Hence, T is the immediate neighbour of P P and U.

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‘.
