Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

$\Rightarrow$ $T_{1} = 3 = 2^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{2} = 8 = 3^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{3} = 15 = 4^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{4} = 24 = 5^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{5} = 35 = 6^2 – 1$
Hence, we can say that $\Rightarrow$ $T_{n} = (n+1)^2 – 1$
$\Rightarrow$ $T_{6} = (6+1)^2 – 1 = 48$
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

2) Answer (C)

The series follows pattern as,
39 + 11 = 50
50 + (11 + 2 = 13) = 63
63 + (13 + 4 = 17) = 80
80 + (17 + 2 = 19) = 99
99 + (19 + 4  = 23) = 122
122 + (23 + 2 = 25) = 147
147 + (25 + 4 = 29) = 176
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option C.

3) Answer (D)

We can write the series as,
$\frac{9}{6},\frac{4}{6},?,\frac{-6}{6},\frac{-11}{6}$.

Here, denominator is same in each number and numerator is decreasing by -5, so the next number of the given series would be -1/6.

4) Answer (B)

In first number: The number is first added to same number.
In second number: The answer should added by 1.

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 1 = 3

3 + 3 = 6

6 + 1 = 7

7 + 7 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

15 + 15 = 30

So, 11 is odd number.

5) Answer (C)

All are multiples of 5. Hence, the most obvious choice would be some other number which is also a multiple of 5. Hence, 15.

6) Answer (B)

Total students in class = 17

1 : Nitin, having 13th rank from the bottom, is six ranks ahead of Bhupesh, who is two ranks behind Suresh.

=> Nitin’s rank from top = (17+1)-13 = 5th

Thus, Bhupesh’s rank from top = 11th

=> Suresh’ rank = 11-2 = 9th

Clearly, 2 alone or 3 alone are insufficient as there is not enough data, thus by combining them, we get :

Kamlesh’s rank = 15th

Thus, Bhupesh’s rank from top = 11th

=> Suresh’ rank = 11-2 = 9th

Thus, either 1 alone or 2 and 3 together are sufficient.

=> Ans – (B)

7) Answer (D)

Clearly, each statement alone is not sufficient, thus combining all the three statements, we get :

Amount invested by Akhilesh = Rs. 8000 for 9 months

=> Amount invested by Animesh = Rs. 2000 for 1 year

=> Amount invested by Sohil = Rs. 4000 for 1 year

Thus, ratio of profit of Akhilesh, Animesh and Sohil = $(8000\times9):(2000\times12):(4000\times12)$

= $72:24:48=3:1:2$

Total profit = Rs. 1000

Profit of Sohil = $\frac{2}{(3+1+2)}\times1000=Rs.$ $333.33$

Thus, 1, 2 and 3 together are necessary.

=> Ans – (D)

8) Answer (C)

In the above statements ‘many’ and ‘9’ are in two sentences. So ‘many’ is ‘9’.
Similarly ‘scored’ and ‘3’ are in two sentences. So ‘scored’ is ‘3’.
In the first sentence ‘how’ , ‘goals’ , ‘5’ and ‘7’ are left. So ‘how’ and ‘goals’ can be either ‘5’ or ‘7’ ( if ‘how’ is ‘5’ then ‘goals’ is ‘7’ and vice versa).

9) Answer (A)

Split TEMPORAL into two halves TEMP and ORAL
Reversing the order of letters we get PMET and LARO
Subtracting 1 from PMET we get P –  1 = O , M – 1 = L , E – 1 = D , T – 1 = S
Adding 1 to LARO we get L + 1 = M , A + 1 = B , R + 1 = S , O + 1 = P

Applying the same concept to CONSIDER
CONS ⇒ SNOC    IDER ⇒ REDI
S – 1 = R , N – 1 = M , O – 1 = N , C – 1 = B
I + 1 = J , D + 1 = E , E + 1 = F , R + 1 = S
RMNBJEFS

10) Answer (A)

In costly, C becomes F (+3 in alphabetical series) and O becomes M (-2)

S becomes V (+3) and T becomes R (-2)

L becomes O (+3) and Y becomes W (-2)

Inversing the order, it becomes WORVMF

Similarly, Praise becomes CVGDPS.

and soccer becomes PHAFMV

11) Answer (D)

he, was, not, absent -> ja, si, fe, ra
absent, case, was, not -> fe, ja, ra, ga
So, he -> si
and case -> ga
12) Answer (D)

The code involves writing A as Z, B as Y, C as X, D as W, etc.

13) Answer (A)

All positions in this question will be from left end.

Total students in the row = 40

Vikas’s position = 26

Since, Kailash was shifted 10 places to the left of Vikas => Kailash position = 16

Three boys were sitting between Kailash and Sameer => Sameer’s position = 12 or 20

Sameer was 10 places to the right of Raman.

=> Raman’s position = 2 or 10

Thus, not sufficient data is given.

14) Answer (E)

NOTE :- Position from front + Position from bottom = Total students + 1

---

Total no. of boys = 20

D’s position from front = 14th

F’s position from bottom = 9th

=> F’s position from front = (20+1)-9 = 12th

Since, D is at 14th and F is at 12th position, => there is only 1 boy between D & F.

Ans – (E)

15) Answer (E)

Total no. of boys in the row facing south = 37

R is eighth to the right of T, => there are 7 boys between R and T.

T is fourteenth to the left of D, => there are 13 boys between D and T, and R is one of them.

=> D (5) R (7) T

where, the number in bracket is the number of boys between two boys satisfying the above conditions.

Thus, there are 5 boys between D and R.

Ans – (E)

16) Answer (D)

There are 40 students in all including Harsha. There are 9 students behind Harsha. So, there are 40 – 9 – 1(Harsha) = 30 students ahead of him. So, his position from the front is 31st.

17) Answer (D)

Ravi is standing 12th from the back. So, there are 13 students ahead of him. So, Ravi’s position is 14th from the front.

18) Answer (A)

Expression : $P(P-3)<4P-12$

=> $P^2-3P-4P+12<0$

=> $P^2-7P+12<0$

=> $(P-3)(P-4)<0$

=> $P<3$ and $P>4$

=> Ans – (A)

19) Answer (E)

given that P denotes  `+’: ‘R’ denotes ‘÷’: T denotes ‘-‘ and W’ denotes ‘×’

we need to find value of 40 R 8 W 10 T 12 P 16

= 40 ÷ 8 x 10 – 12 + 16

using BODMAS rule

= 54

20) Answer (B)

Expression : ’16 \$ 4 @ 5 # 72 * 8’ ?

$\equiv16+4\times5-72\div8$

= $16+20-\frac{72}{8}$

= $36-9=27$

=> Ans – (B)

21) Answer (D)

As there is an equality sign in all the statements, all the variables could be equal. Hence, we cannot say R < Z or S < Y. Hence, neither conclusion follows from the statements.​

22) Answer (D)

A > B $\geq$ C ? D $\leq$ E = F
A has to be greater that D, therefore ? could be >, = or $\geq$.
Since F needs to be greater than or equal to C, only possibility is “=”
Hence option D.

23) Answer (B)

Since the loan scheme for tractors has brought prosperity among farmers, it is assumed that tractor is an important input for farmers to enhance their farm activities.

Option b) captures this idea.

24) Answer (B)

The statement says that mass formal education has been primarily because of industrial societies. So, we can infer that industrial society is responsible for the expansion of education at the mass level. Option b) is the correct answer.

25) Answer (E)

From the expression $P \times Q+R-T$ we can make deductions as:

P is father of Q. Q is daughter of R. Hence, P and R are husband and wife.
Also, R is sister of T. Hence, R must be daughter or son of S for P to be son in law of S.

Hence, the correct option is E

26) Answer (A)

P>Q=R$\leq$T<S
means P is greater than Q and hence, P is greater than R. R is less than or equal to T. T is less than S. Therefore, Q is less than T.

Hence, the correct option is A.

27) Answer (D)

The expression, A>B$\geq$C=D $\leq$ E =F,

Means that A is greater than B which can be greater than or equal to C. Now, if C is equal to D, naturally A is greter than D.

Also, D is less than or equal to E. As E and F are equal, D is less than or equal to F. Hence, C is less than or equal to F.

28) Answer (A)

1) M $\leq$ N : We know that M $\leq$ U $\leq$ N. Hence, we can say that M is less than or equal to N. Conclusion I follows.

2) J > R : We know that J > U $\leq$ N > R. Here the relationship between U and N cannot be made and hence the relationship between J and R cannot be made. Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

29) Answer (E)

1) D > E : D is greater than C and C is equal to E. Hence, conclusion I follows

2) B > E : B is greater than C and C is equal to E. Hence, Conclusion II follows.

Hence, option e is the correct answer.

30) Answer (C)

C is less than Z and N is greater than Z. Therefore, C is definitely less than Z. Conclusion I is true.
M is greater than Z. Z is greater than or equal to O. Therefore, M is definitely greater than O. Conclusion II states that M is less than O. Therefore, conclusion II is definitely false.

Only conclusion I is true. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

31) Answer (D)

$R$ is definitely greater than $I$. $S$ is definitely less than $I$.
Therefore, $S$ is less than $R$.
Only conclusion II is true. Therefore, option D is the right answer.

32) Answer (E)

We cannot get any direct relationship between S and I or L and D. Hence, neither of the two conclusions follows.

33) Answer (B)

Expression : J + H / R x L

J is the wife of H, and H is the brother of R.

Also, L is the father of R, => H is the son of L.

Thus, J is the daughter-in-law of L.

=> Ans – (B)

34) Answer (D)

The boy is only grandson of Meena’s grandfather.

Thus, the boy can be either Meena’s brother or cousin, hence data is inadequate.

=> Ans – (D)

35) Answer (B)

R,M,H and K are siblings, where R is female and M and K are males.

Gender of H is unknown. D is mother of K.

=> D is mother of R,M,H and K.

$\therefore$ R is the daughter of D.

=> Ans – (B)
