The English alphabetical order is given as follows-

The logic followed here is:

Therefore, by this logic, the next term in the series is WVN.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Q2.

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?
AYH, BWJ, CUL, DSN, ?

  • A.

    EQP

    ✓ Correct
  • B.

    EPL

  • C.

    EQS

  • D.

    FPR

Answer & Solution

Correct option is A

Given: AYH, BWJ, CUL, DSN, ?

The logic followed here is:

So, 'EQP' will replace the question in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Q3.

What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation if ‘+’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘−’ are interchanged?
84 + 12 × 9 ÷ 13 – 21 = ?​

  • A.

    273

  • B.

    259

  • C.

    264

  • D.

    271

    ✓ Correct

Answer & Solution

Correct option is D

Given equation: 84 + 12 × 9 ÷ 13 - 21 = ?

BODMAS Table:
​​Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),√(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction−\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[], {}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\\hline \text{Addition} &+ \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}​​

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged, and ‘×’ and ‘-’ are interchanged, then:

=> 84 ÷ 12 - 9 + 13 × 21 = ?

=> 7 - 9 + 13 × 21 = ?

=> 7 - 9 + 273 = ?

=> 280 - 9 = 271

Hence, the correct answer is "Option D".

Q4.

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: Some machines are shrugs. All machines are bins. No shrug is a cloth.
Conclusion (I): No cloth is a machine.
Conclusion (II): At least some shrugs are bins.​

  • A.

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  • B.

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  • C.

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  • D.

    Only conclusion (II) follows

    ✓ Correct

Answer & Solution

Correct option is D

Given Statements:

Some machines are shrugs.
All machines are bins.
No shrug is a cloth.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No cloth is a machine - False (We cannot conclude this directly from the given statements. The information provided tells us that no shrug is a cloth, but it does not provide a direct relationship between machines and cloths.)

II. At least some shrugs are bins - True (Since some machines are shrugs and all machines are bins, it follows that some shrugs must also be bins.)

So, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option D".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option B".

Q6.

Select the pair in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as are the numbers of the given pairs.
(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/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.)
(376, 234)
(354, 212)​

  • A.

    (281, 139)

    ✓ Correct
  • B.

    (328, 283)

  • C.

    (294, 145)

  • D.

    (349, 217)

Answer & Solution

Correct option is A

Solution:

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1st number - 142 = 2nd number.

Now,

For, (376, 234)

=> 376 - 142 = 234.

For, (354, 212)

=> 354 - 142 = 212.

Similarly, for (281, 139)

=> 281 - 142 = 139.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

    ZCMB

    ✓ Correct
  • C.

    XDOD

  • D.

    XBMC

Answer & Solution

Correct option is B

The English alphabetical series is given as-

The logic is as follows-
For 'CMPX' is coded as 'EONV' we get-
Therefore, we see that XAOD is coded as ZCMB by the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option B".
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: Some bowls are spoons. All spoons are plates.
Conclusion 1: Some spoons are bowls.
Conclusion 2: Some bowls are plates.​

  • A.

    Both conclusions (1) and (2) follow

    ✓ Correct
  • B.

    Only conclusion (2) follows

  • C.

    None of the conclusions follow

  • D.

    Only conclusion (1) follows

Answer & Solution

Correct option is A

Given Statements:

Some bowls are spoons.
All spoons are plates.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some spoons are bowls - True (Because, Some bowls are spoons implies that some part of the spoons overlap with the bowls).

II. Some bowls are plates - True (Because, All spoons are plates and some bowls are spoons, it means some part of the bowls, which are spoons, will also be plates).

So, Both conclusions (1) and (2) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Q9.

E, F, G, H, I, J and K are sitting around a circular table with their backs facing the centre (not necessarily in the same order). J is sitting to the immediate left of G. K is sitting to the immediate right of E. H is sitting to the immediate right of K. I is sitting to the immediate right of H and immediate left of F. F is sitting to the immediate left of J. Who is an
immediate neighbour of both E and J?​

  • A.

    K

  • B.

    H

  • C.

    G

    ✓ Correct

    F

Answer & Solution

Correct option is C

Given:

E, F, G, H, I, J and K are sitting around a circular table with their backs facing the centre.
Based on the given conditions in the question, we get the following arrangements-
1. J is sitting to the immediate left of G. F is sitting to the immediate left of J. From these, we get-

2. I is sitting to the immediate right of H and immediate left of F. K is sitting to the immediate right of E. H is sitting to the immediate right of K. From these, we get the final arrangement as follows-

Therefore, we see that G is an immediate neighbor of both E and J.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option C’.

    ✓ Correct

Answer & Solution

Correct option is D

Using BODMAS rule.

​Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),√(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction−\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}

Given equation: 18 - 6 + 3 × 20 ÷ 9 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘×’ are interchanged and ‘÷’ and ‘-’ are interchanged, then:

=> 18 ÷ 6 × 3 + 20 - 9 = ?

=> 3 × 3 + 20 - 9 = ?

=> 9 + 20 - 9 = ?

=> 29 - 9 = 20.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option D".
