Solutions:
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. E is the 5th letter in the word as well as in the English alphabet.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. The series is AABCC/BBCAA/CCABB/AABCC. Thus the letters move in a cyclic order and in each group, the middle letter occurs only once.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Except TS, there is a difference of 2 between letters.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Since Ashok has no brother or sister, so he is his father’s only son.
So, wife of Ashok’s father’s son – Ashok’s wife.
Thus, Ashok’s wife is the man’s mother or the man is Ashok’s son.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol.
‘tin pin min’ -> ’all the fun’……(i)
‘jin kin tin’ -> ‘why should fun’ ……..(ii)
‘sin pin kin’ -> ‘why all Dance’…….(iii)
In (i) and (iii), the common code word are ‘pin’
So, ‘pin’-> ‘all’
In (ii) and (iii), the common code word are ‘kin’
So, ‘kin’-> ‘why’
Thus, in (iii), ‘sin’ -> ‘Dance
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. RIVER cannot be formed from the letters of the REVENOUS because there is no “I”.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. External, Extra, Extraction, Extraordinary

Sol. Arranging the letters in alphabetical order, we have:
A D E G I K N N R T U. Clearly, R is at the 9th position from left.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Using the proper notations in (c), we get the statement as:
15 ÷ 3 – 5 + 8 + 2 = 10 or
5 – 5 + 8 + 2 = 10 or 10 = 10, which is true.
