Solutions:
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Using the correct symbols, we have:
Given expression:
= 81 + 27 ÷ 3 – 5
= 81 + 9 – 5
= 85
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. The difference between consecutive terms of the given series are respectively 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15
Clearly, 34 is a wrong number and must be replaced by (24 + 11) i.e. 35
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. BANGLE, RING, SKIRT, NECKLACE
All except SKIRT are ornaments.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. The first, second, third and fourth letters of the first group are moved one, two, three and four steps forward respectively to obtain the corresponding letters of the second group.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Each of the numbers except 51, is divisible by 7.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Clearly, the answer is (d). In all other groups, the smaller letter is the middle one.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The series is ABCD/BCAD/CABD/ABCD/BCAD/CABD. Clearly, each group consists of letters of the previous group in the order – second, third, first and fourth.
S9. Ans.(a)
