Q2.Four pair of numbers have been given out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose the odd one.
- A.13 : 2186
- B.7 : 336
- C.11 : 1320
- D.5 : 120

Answer: A. 13 : 2186
Option 1 → 133 = 2197 2197 – 13 = 2184 not 2186. Option 2 → 73 = 343 343 – 7 = 336. Option 3 → 113 = 1331 1331 – 11 = 1320. Option 4 → 53 = 125 125 – 5 = 120. Hence, 13:2186 is the odd one out.
Q3.Seven friends P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are watching hockey match in a stadium sitting in a row. P and U are sitting at the extreme ends. S is sitting second to the right of P and between T and R, Q is sitting between U and V, R is sitting immediate left of V. Who is sitting at the extreme right end?
- A.U
- B.T
- C.R
- D.P
Show answer
Answer: A. U
The sitting arrangement is as follows, P and U are sitting at the extreme ends. So, there are two cases. Case 1: P U Case 2: U P S is sitting second right of P and between T and R. Case 2 is incorrect. But again, there are two cases. Case: 1.1 P T S R U Case: 1.2 P R S T U Q is sitting between U and V. Again, two cases. Case 1.1 P T S R V Q U Case 1.2 P R S T V Q U R is sitting immediate left of V. Hence, Case 1.2 is incorrect. P T S R V Q U Hence, Finally U is sitting at the extreme right end.
Q4.Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related first term. 3 : 82 :: 4 : ?
- A.256
- B.257
- C.64
- D.48
Show answer
Answer: B. 257
3 : 82 :: 4 : ? 3 × 3 = 9 ⇒ 92 = 81 ⇒ 81 + 1 = 82 Similarly, 4 × 4 = 16 ⇒ 162 = 256 ⇒ 256 + 1 = 257
Q5.Select the correct option that will fill in the blank and complete the series. ‘hfghf’ 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, .
- A.113
- B.123
- C.111
- D.133
Show answer
Answer: A. 113
97, 101, 103, 107, 109... ? The logic followed is: All the given number are in an increasing order of consecutive prime number. 97 → next prime number is 101 101 → next prime number is 103 103 → next prime number is 107 107 → next prime number is 109 Similarly, 109 → next prime number is 113.
Q6.If ‘A’ is replaced by ‘+’; if ‘B’ is replaced by ‘–’; ‘C’ is replaced by ‘+’; and ‘D’ replaced by ‘×’, find the value of the following equation. 27C9A15D3B16
- A.32
- B.34
- C.55
- D.65
Show answer
Answer: A. 32
‘A’ is replaced by + ‘B’ is replaced by – C’ is replaced by ÷; and ‘D’ replaced by x’, Then the value of the 27C9A15D3B16 will be: Using BODMAS rule 27 ÷ 9 + 15 × 3 – 16 = 3 + 45 – 16 = 48 – 16 = 32
Q7.Select the correct option that will fill in the blank and complete the series. 27, 39, 63,
- A.79
- B.83
- C.99
- D.89

Q8.VD Raman’s house is 30 m to the left of a temple, which is 40 m to the north of a church. One day, VD Raman starts from his house and takes the road which is parallel to the temple-church road and walks 50 m before turning to his right. He further walks 20 m and reaches a gym. What is difference between the straight distance between VD Raman’s house and the church and the temple and the gym?
- A.20.7 m
- B.37.7 m
- C.50 m
- D.70.7 m
Show answer
Answer: A. 20.7 m
North VD 30 m Raman’s Temple house 40 m 50 m West East Church GYM 20 m South Let's find out the straight distance between VD Raman’s house and the church. Using Pythagoras theorem we get, + = 2500 = And, the straight distance between temple and gym = + = 5000 = 70 71 . So, difference between the straight distance between VD Raman’s house and the church and the temple and the gym = 70.71 – 50 = 20.71
Q9.Find the missing term in the given analogous pair. 112 : 5, 15 : 4 :: : 7, 10 : 3
- A.20
- B.42
- C.84
- D.40
Show answer
Answer: D. 40
112:5, 15: 4 :: _:7, 10:3 The pattern followed is: The first analogy is = 112 × 5 = 560 The second analogy is = 15 × 4 = 60 The third analogy is = X × 7 = 7X The fourth analogy is = 10 × 3 = 30 Here, we get to know that the second analogy is double the fourth analogy. Similarly, the first analogy will be double the third analogy. 7X × 2 = 560 X = 40 Hence, the answer is 40.
Q10.Four pairs of words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose out the odd one.
