Q1.When the petrol prices increased by 25%, Yogesh reduced his travel so as to keep his monthly expenses on petrol the same as earlier. By what percentage did Yogesh reduce his travel?
- A.30%
- B.25%
- C.15%
- D.20% General Awareness
Show answer
Answer: B. 25%
When the petrol prices increased by 25%. Yogesh reduced his travel so as to keep his monthly expenses on petrol the same as earlier. Let us consider, Cost of petrol = Rs. 100 When the petrol prices increased by 25%. 100 + 25% = 125/- So, the cost of petrol after 25% increased = 125/- Percentage reduced by Yogesh to travel = ((125 – 100) ÷ 125) × 100 Percentage reduced by Yogesh to travel = 25 ÷ 125 × 100 Percentage reduced by Yogesh to travel = 0.2 × 100 Percentage reduced by Yogesh to travel = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20% Shortcut: Petrol price is increased by 25% or 1/4. Percentage reduced by Yogesh to travel = 1/(4+1) = 1/5 or 20%

Q3.Among 80 students, 24 passed in Chemistry, 35 passed in Physics and 29 passed in Mathematics. 8 students did not appear for the examination. If 2 Students have passed in all the three subjects. 2 students have passed in Physics and Chemistry both but not in Mathematics, 2 students have passed in Chemistry and Mathematics both but not in Physics, and 8 students have passed in Physics and Mathematics both but not in Chemistry, then how many students have passed in Mathematics only?
- A.19
- B.18
- C.20
- D.17
Show answer
Answer: D. 17
Total no. of students = 80 Total no. of students who passed in Chemistry = 24 Total no. of students passed in Physics = 35 Total no. of students who passed in Mathematics = 29 No. of students who did not appear for the examination = 8 (say p) No. of students who passed in all three subjects = 2 (say x) No. of students who passed in Physics and Chemistry both but not in Mathematics = 2 (say y) No. of students who passed in Chemistry and Mathematics both but not in Physics = 2 (say z) No. of students who passed in Physics and Mathematics both but not in Chemistry = 8 (say a) Therefore, No. of students who passed in Mathematics only = 29 – (x + z + a) = 29 – (2 + 2 + 8)= 17 (say d) No. of students who passed in Chemistry only = 24 – (x + z + y) = 24 – (2 + 2 + 2) = 18 (say b) No. of students who passed in Physics only = 35 – (x + y + a) = 35 – (2 + 2 + 8) = 23 (say c) The logical Venn diagram is: p = 8 Chemistry Physics b = 18 y = 2 c = 23 x = 2 80 students z = 2 a = 8 Mathematics d = 17 Hence,17 is the correct answer.
Q4.3. Select the option fi gure that will come next in the following fi gure series. ? 1. 2. 3. 4.
- A.4. Five friends K, L, M, N and O are sitting around a circular
- B.table facing the centre. N is to the immediate right of K. L is to
- C.the immediate left of M, N is at the second place to the right of
- D.M. Where is O sitting.
Show answer
Answer: C. the immediate left of M, N is at the second place to the right of
No. of students who passed in all three subjects = 2 (say x) The pattern followed here is No. of students who passed in Physics and Chemistry both but 44 + 34 = 256 + 81 = 337 not in Mathematics = 2 (say y) 34 + 54 = 81 + 625 = 706 No. of students who passed in Chemistry and Mathematics both 64 + 34 = 1296 + 81 = 1377 but not in Physics = 2 (say z) Hence, 1377 is the correct answer. No. of students who passed in Physics and Mathematics both 6.
Q5.Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question ? mark (?) in it.
- A.895
- B.1123
- C.1456
- D.1377
Show answer
Answer: D. 1377
The pattern followed here is 44 + 34 = 256 + 81 = 337 34 + 54 = 81 + 625 = 706 64 + 34 = 1296 + 81 = 1377 Hence, 1377 is the correct answer.

- A.Friday
- B.Thursday
- C.Tuesday
- D.Wednesday
Show answer
Answer: B. Thursday
The years which are multiple of 400 have 0 odd days. So, No. of odd days in 2000 = 0 No. of odd days in 2001 = 1 (Non-leap year) No. of odd days in 2002 = 1 (Non-leap year) No. of odd days in 2003 = 1 (Non-leap year) No. of odd days in 2004 = 2 (Leap year) Total no. of days in from 1st January 2005 to 15th September 2005 = (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 15) = 258 = 36 weeks and 6 odd days Total no. of odd days = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 11 = 1 week and 4 odd days Sunday Monday Tues- Wednes- Thursday Friday Saturday day day Therefore, no. of odd days = 4 which is the code for Thursday. So, 15th September 2005 was Thursday. Hence, Thursday is the correct answer.
Q8.Select the number that will replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 32, ?, 132, 267, 538
- A.97
- B.53
- C.65
- D.75 (22nd December 2020: Shift-1)
Show answer
Answer: C. 65
Given series: 32, ?, 132, 267, 538 The pattern followed here is 32 × 2 + 1 = 65 65 × 2 + 2 = 132 132 × 2 + 3 = 267 267 × 2 + 4 = 538 Hence, 65 is the correct answer.
Q9.If N > H > Q = X and H = F = C < T, then which of the following options is NOT correct?
- A.C < X
- B.Q < C
- C.H < T
- D.N > X
Show answer
Answer: A. C < X
Given statements are N > H > Q = X and H = F = C < T Combining the statements, we get N > H = F = C > Q = X OR, T > H = F = C > Q = X (Because the relation between N and T is not defined) (1) C < X (False, N > H = F = C > Q = X ⇒ C > X) (2) Q < C (True, N > H = F = C > Q = X) (3) H < T (True, T > H = F = C > Q = X) (4) N > X (True, N > H = F = C > Q = X) Hence, C < X is the correct answer.
Q10.An amount of `6,764 is to be distributed among four friends P, Q, R and S in the ratio of 8 : 6 : 3 : 2. How much amount will P and R get in total?
- A.`4,120
- B.`2,848
- C.`3,916
- D.`3,766
Show answer
Answer: C. `3,916
Let ‘x’ be a common multiple. Let the amount distributed between P, Q, R and S be 8x, 6x, 3x and 2x respectively. So, 8x + 6x + 3x + 2x = 6764 19x = 6764 x = 356 Amount received by P = 8 × 356 = 2848 Amount received by R = 3 × 356 = 1068 Amount received by P and R in total = 2848 + 1068 = ` 3916
