If P denotes ‘×’, Q denotes ‘÷’, R denotes ‘+’ and S denotes ‘−’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
(40 Q 4 ) P 5 R (3 P 6) S (7 P 8) R 21 = ?
- A.
33
- B.
30
- C.
40
- D.
35
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
P denotes ‘×’, Q denotes ‘÷’, R denotes ‘+’ and S denotes ‘−’
Given, (40 Q 4 ) P 5 R (3 P 6) S (7 P 8) R 21 = ?
(40 Q 4 ) P 5 R (3 P 6) S (7 P 8) R 21 = ?
⇒ (40 ÷ 4 ) × 5 + (3 × 6) - (7 × 8) + 21 = ?
⇒ (10) × 5 + (18) - (56) + 21 = ?
⇒ 50 + 18 - 56 + 21 = ?
⇒ 68 - 56 + 21 = ?
⇒ 89 - 56 = ?
⇒ 33 = ?
Hence, option (a).

- A.
51
- B.
56
- C.
67
- D.
63
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Here, the logic is
T1 × 6 - 16 = T2
∴ 5 × 6 - 16 = 14 and 17 × 6 - 16 = 86
⇒ 12 × 6 - 16 = 56
Hence, option (b).

The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number.
The same operation(s) are followed in all the number pairs except one. Find that odd number pair.
- A.
13 : 28.5
- B.
15 : 32.5
- C.
19 : 38.5
- D.
17 : 35.5
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
The logic is: n × 1.5 + 10
∴ 15 × 1.5 + 10 = 22.5
17 × 1.5 + 10 = 35.5
19 × 1.5 + 10 = 38.5
But 13 × 1.5 + 10 = 29.5
Hence, option (a).

Three Statements are given followed by Three conclusions numbered I, II and III. 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:
All ants are beetles.
No beetle is a frog.
Some frogs are bugs.
Conclusions:
I. Some bugs are ants.
II. No bug is a beetle.
III. No frog is an ant.
- A.
Both conclusions I and II follow.
- B.
Only conclusion III follows.
- C.
Only conclusion I follows.
- D.
Both conclusions I and III follow.
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Statements:
1. All ants are beetles.
2. No beetle is a frog.
Conclusion:
No ants are frog
No frog is ant ...(1)
Statements:
2. No beetle is a frog.
3. Some frogs are bugs.
Conclusions:
Some bugs are not beetles ...(2)
Now comparing Statement 1 with Conclusion (2)
All ants are beetles.
Some bugs are not beetles
Conclusion:
No conclusion is possible.
Of the conclusions given only conclusion III is correct.
Hence, option (b).

The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number-pairs EXCEPT one. Find that odd number-pair.
- A.
25 : 3
- B.
64 : 6
- C.
100 : 9
- D.
81 : 7
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
The logic is:
2nd number = Square-root of 1st number - 2.
Option (a): 3 = √25 - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3
Option (b): 6 = √64 - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
Option (d): 7 = √81 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Option (c) does not follow this rule.
Hence, option (c).

Two different positions of the same dice are shown, the six faces of which are numbered from 1 to 6. When '3' is at the bottom, which number will be on the top?
- A.
1
- B.
3
- C.
5
- D.
4
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
From the 2 figures we can see than 2 and 5 are adjacent to both 1 and 4.
Hence, 2 and 5 are opposite to each other.
Now, sum of the two opposite faces is 2 + 5 = 7.
Therefore, the face opposite 3 = 7 - 3 = 4.
Hence, option (d).

- B.
151820197
- C.
151820166
- D.
151880197
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Each letter is coded as its numerical position from the end of alphabetical series.
W = 4th from the end
A = 26th from the end
V = 5th from the end
E = 22nd from the end
∴ L = 15th from the end
I = 18th from the end
G = 20th from the end
H = 19th from the end
T = 7th from the end
Hence, option (b).

B + 8 = J + 8 = R + 8 = Z + 8 = H
N + 7 = U + 7 = B + 7 = I + 7 = P
F + 6 = L + 6 = R + 6 = X + 6 = D
Hence, option (d).

First row: 17, 26, 60
Second row: 8, 15, 31
Third row: 11, 19, ?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the number into its constituent digits.
For example, 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/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.)
- A.
52
- B.
41
- C.
48
- D.
50
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
First row: 17, 26, 60
Second row: 8, 15, 31
Third row: 11, 19, ?
For each row,
3rd number = 2 × 1st number + 2nd number.
60 = 2 × 17 + 25
31 = 2 × 8 + 15
? = 2 × 11 + 19 = 41
Hence, option (b).

- B.
−, ÷, ×, ×, =, ×
- C.

- D.
×, =, ×, ×, −, ×
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
Option (a):
50 = 2 × 3 × 30 + 10 - 40 ÷ 20
50 = 180 + 10 - 2
50 = 188
This is not true, hence option (a) is rejected.
Option (b):
50 - 2 ÷ 3 × 30 × 10 = 40 × 20
50 - 2/3 × 30 × 10 = 800
50 - 20 × 10 = 800
50 - 200 = 800
-150 = 800
This is not true, hence option (b) is rejected.
Option (c):
50 = 2 × 3 + 30 × 10 - 40 ÷ 20
50 = 6 + 300 - 2
50 = 304
This is not true, hence option (c) is rejected.
Option (d):
50 × 2 = 3 × 30 × 10 - 40 × 20
100 = 900 - 800
100 = 100
This is true.
Hence, option (d).

The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number pairs, EXCEPT one. Find that odd number pair.
- A.
24 : 8
- B.
16 : 4
- C.
48 : 12
- D.
20 : 5
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
24 : 8 ⇒ 24/3 = 8
16 : 4 ⇒ 16/4 = 4
48 : 12 ⇒ 48/12 = 12
20 : 5 ⇒ 20/4 = 5
Except option (a), in all other options 2nd term = 1st term divided by 4.
Hence, option (a).
Workspace:
Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
23, 28, 280, 295, 5900, ?
- A.
5920
- B.
5935
- C.
5925
- D.
5930
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
The logic is as follows
23 + 5 = 28
28 × 10 = 280
280 + 15 = 295
295 × 20 = 5900
Each term is alternately added or multiplied with a number increasing by 5.
∴ 5900 + 25 = 5925
Hence, option (c).

In a certain code language, 'DUCK' is written as 'FSEI' and ‘FISH’ is written as ‘HGUF’. How will 'FROG' be written in that language?
- A.
HEPQ
- B.
HQPE
- C.
HPEQ
- D.
HPQE
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
D + 2 = F
U - 2 = S
C + 2 = E
K - 2 = I
Similarly
F + 2 = H
I - 2 = G
S + 2 = U
H - 2 = F
Hence,
F + 2 = H
R - 2 = P
O + 2 = Q
G - 2 = E
FROG = HPQE
Hence, option (d).

Answer: Option C
Explanation :
Triangles are only formed inside the square in the middle.
There are 4 smaller triangles (e.g. pink color) and 4 bigger triangles (e.g. yellow color).
Hence, total 8 triangles.
Hence, option (c).

Select the option that represents the letters that, when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series.
_ M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M _ N O J O
- A.
o o J o o N J o M
- B.
O O J O O N J O O
- C.
O M J O O N J O O
- D.
M O J O O N J O O
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
_ M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M _ N O J O
Here we see that O comes before M: _ M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M _ N O J O
⇒ O M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M _ N O J O
Now, there is an O between M and N: _ M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M _ N O J O
_ M O N _ _ _ O M _ _ O _ _ O M O N O J O
Now, if we notice the last 7 letters, the sequence is O M O N O J O which is repeated three times.
O M O N O J O O M O N O J O O M O N O J O
Hence, option (b).
