Solutions:
S1.Ans.(b)
Sol. Man draws water from well, but ‘well’ is called ‘island’. So man draws water from island.
S2.Ans.(d)
Sol. Clearly, the seventh letter from the left is H.
S3.Ans.(d)
Sol.
489 -> 849;
541 -> 451
654 -> 564;
953 -> 593
783 -> 873
Third highest number = 593 -> 953
S4.Ans.(c)
Sol.
489 -> 984;
541 -> 145
654 -> 456;
953 -> 359
783 -> 387
Second highest number = 456 => 654
S5.Ans.(b)
Sol.
489 + 1 = 490;
541 + 1 = 542
654 + 1 = 655;
953 + 1 = 954
783 + 1 = 784
Difference = 8 – 5 = 3
S6.Ans.(d)
Sol. Each set consists of numbers which are obtained by multiplying a certain number by 9, 7 and 5 respectively.
Thus, in the given set, 63 = 7 × 9. 49 = 7 × 7 , 35 = 7 × 5.
Similarly, 81 = 9 × 9, 63 = 9 x 7, 45 = 9 x 5.
S7.Ans.(a)
Sol. Pattern is +6, +9, +12, +15, ….
Missing term is = 21+15=33
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. Except KPSU, all follow a sequence of +5, +4, +1
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. Order according to dictionary:
3. Matchbox , 1. Maternity , 2. Matriarchy, 4. Matricide
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Except (5 , 35) , in all pairs (x, x × (x + 1))
