Solutions
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. The series is abb/aaabbb/aaaabbbb/a. Thus the letters are repeated twice, then trice, the four times and so on.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. The words in each pair are synonyms of each other.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. First provides protection from the second.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. In all other pairs, (1st number -1 )/7 = 2nd number.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. O + 5 = T, T + 10 = D
P + 5 = U , N + 10 = X
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. In each set, 2nd number = (1st number – 4)
and 3rd number = (2nd number – 8)
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. The relationship is x∶(x-119).
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. The relationship is x^2 ∶(x+1)^2+1.
S10. Ans.(d)
