5. Q5.In a certain code language, ‘DAM’ is coded as ‘50’ and ‘PAD’ is coded as ‘47’. How will ‘MAP’ be coded in that language?

   • A.38
   • B.40
   • C.36
   • D.42
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 38

   Table of Alphabetical series (point to remember): Alphabets A B C D E F G H I J K L M Positional 10 11 12 13 value Alphabets Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N Positional 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 value (The sum of Place value from the end of the alphabetical series-13). (See above table) ‘DAM’ is coded as ‘50’, DAM 23 + 26 + 14 = 63 – 13 = 50 Similarly, ‘MAP’ can be coded as, MAP 14 + 26 + 11 = 51 – 13 = 38

6. Q6.Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? GROW, NJGG, ?, BTQA, ILIK

   • A.YDER
   • B.VIWQ
   • C.PSJW
   • D.UBYQ
   Show answer

   Answer: D. UBYQ

   Given series: GROW, NJGG, ?, BTQA, ILIK G + 7 = N → N + 7 = U → U + 7 = B → B + 7 = I Similarly, R – 8 = J → J – 8 = B → B – 8 = T → T – 8 = L Similarly, O – 8 = G → G – 8 = Y → Y – 8 = Q → I – 8 = I Similarly, W + 10 = G → G + 10 = Q → Q + 10 = A → A + 10 = K Hence, UBYQ is the correct answer.

7. Q7.Select the set in which the number are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (182, 156, 13) (238, 212, 15)

   • A.(370, 348, 19)
   • B.(336, 302, 17)
   • C.(142, 126, 11)
   • D.(337, 311, 18)
   Show answer

   Answer: D. (337, 311, 18)

   Given that: (182, 156, 13) (238, 212, 15) Row wise: right to left (182, 156, 13) ⇒ 132 – 13 = 156 ⇒ 132 + 13 = 182 (238, 212, 15) ⇒ 152 – 13 = 212 ⇒ 152 + 13 = 238 Similarly, (337, 311, 18) ⇒ 182 – 13 = 311 ⇒ 182 + 13 = 337

8. Q8.Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: • All trojans are fairies. • No fairy is a flower. • All viruses are trojans. Conclusions: I. No flower is a trojan. II. Some viruses are trojans. III. No trojan is a virus.

   • A.Only conclusion I follows
   • B.Only conclusion I and III follow
   • C.Only conclusion I and II follow
   • D.Only conclusion II follows
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Only conclusion I and II follow

   From the Venn diagram, only conclusions I and II follow. Trojans Virus Flower Fairies

9. Q9.Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.

   • A.TWGD
   • B.ADZE
   • C.PSKH
   • D.FIUR
   Show answer

   Answer: B. ADZE

   Table of Alphabetical series (point to remember): Alphabets A B C D E F G H I J K L M Positional 10 11 12 13 value Alphabets Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N Positional 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 value Using this table in the solution, Now, 1st letter is opposite to the 3rd letter and the 2nd letter is opposite to the 4th letter in all the given options except option 2. Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.

10. Q10.Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting / multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed) (212, 101, 111) (256, 123, 133)

    • A.(182, 74, 108)
    • B.(240, 105, 110)
    • C.(196, 89, 91)
    • D.(292, 122, 160)
    Show answer

    Answer: A. (182, 74, 108)

    Given that: (212, 101, 111) (256, 123, 133) (212, 101, 111) From right to left 111 + 101 = 212 Similarly (256, 123, 133) From right to left 123 + 133 = 256 Hence, (182, 74, 108) From right to left 74 + 108 = 182 Hence, (182, 74, 108) is the correct option.
