   • A.10
   • B.2
   • C.12
   • D.15
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 10

   The sum of the given numbers in brackets = 30 (17, 9, 4) 17 + 9 + 4 = 30 And (14, 3, 13) 14 + 3 + 13 = 30 Similarly, (13, ?, 7) Consider ? as X (13, X, 7) ⇒ 13 + X + 7 = 30 ⇒ 20 + X = 30 ⇒ X = 10

6. Q6.Study the given pattern carefully and fi nd the missing number. (9, 9, 2) (8, __, 1) (4, 8, 8)

   • A.11
   • B.8
   • C.6
   • D.1
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 11

   (9, 9, 2) (8, ?, 1) (4, 8, 8) The sum of the given numbers in brackets = 20 (9, 9, 2) → 9 + 9 + 2 = 20 and (4, 8, 8) → 4 + 8 + 8 = 20 Similarly, (8, ?, 1) Let the missing number = x ⇒ 8 + x + 1 = 20 ⇒ 9 + x = 20 ⇒ x = 11

7. Q7.In a certain code language, PHONE is coded as 78 and MOON is coded as 52. How will PLAN be coded in that language?

   • A.43
   • B.98
   • C.65
   • D.66
   Show answer

   Answer: D. 66

   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 the opposite alphabet positional value + 1. PHONE is coded as 78 and P H O N E Opposite Opposite Opposite Opposite Opposite K S L M V (11 + 19 + 12 + 13 + 22) + 1 = 78 Similarly, MOON is coded as 52. M O O N Opposite Opposite Opposite Opposite N L L M (14 + 12 + 12 + 13) + 1 = 52 Similarly, PLAN can be coded as: P L A N Opposite Opposite Opposite Opposite K O Z M (11 + 15 + 26 + 13) + 1 = 66

8. Q8.Horse E was running ahead of horse D in the middle of the race. Horse C was ahead of horse A but behind horse B. Horse A was running ahead of horse E. From this point on, the fourth-placed horse took the lead and won the race. If the positions of the other horses remained the same, which horse was in the middle at the end of the race?

   • A.C
   • B.E
   • C.B
   • D.A
   Show answer

   Answer: A. C

   ⇒ Horse E is ahead of Horse D. E > D Horse C is ahead of Horse A but behind Horse B. B > C > A ⇒ Horse A is ahead of horse E. A > E By combining the above three statements the relation formed is: B > C > A > E > D At one point, a horse in the fourth place crosses all the horses and won the race. The horse in the fourth place is: E E > B > C > A > D Here, the horse that is middle at the end of the race is ‘horse C’. Hence, the correct answer is “C”.

9. Q9.If the fi rst half of the given letter series is reversed, then which of the following will be the third letter to the left of the eighth letter from the right? A U R R g h r s w c g i o p d s q t

   • A.U
   • B.W
   • C.A
   • D.R
   Show answer

   Answer: A. U

   AURRGHRSWCGIOPDSQT Given series: AURRGHRSWCGIOPDSQT A total of 18 letters are there in the given series. The first half of the given letters are: AURRGHRSW After reversing the first half of the given series the series is as follows: WSRHGRRUACGIOPDSQT The letter 8th from the right end is: WSRHGRRUACGIOPDSQT ⇒ The letter which is third to the left of the letter eight from the right end of the series formed is: WSRHGRRUACGIOPDSQT Hence, the correct answer is “U”.

10. Q10.Which of the following equations will be correct when the signs × and ÷ and the numbers 12 and 9 are interchanged?

    • A.12 + 8 × 9 + (24 ÷ 5 + 8) – 7 = 35
    • B.9 × 17 + 5 (24 ÷ 9) – 12 = 46
    • C.14 ÷ 12 + 10 (12 – 6) × 9 = 37
    • D.10 + 2 ÷ 3 + (24 × 9 + 8) – 12 = 17
    Show answer

    Answer: D. 10 + 2 ÷ 3 + (24 × 9 + 8) – 12 = 17

    Solving by options: Taking option number 4 10 + 2 ÷ 3 + (24 × 9 + 8) – 12 = 17 After interchanging: LHS = 10 + 2 × 3 + (24 ÷ 12 + 8) – 9 Applying BODMAS = 10 + 2 × 3 + (2 + 8) – 9 = 10 + 6 + (2 + 8) – 9 = 26 – 9 = 17 = RHS
