Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
The pattern followed is : $a$ # $b=c$ $\equiv a^2+b^2=c^2$
Eg :- $(6)^2+(8)^2=36+64=100=(10)^2$
and $(5)^2+(12)^2=25+144=169=(13)^2$
Similarly, $(9)^2+(40)^2=81+1600=1681=(41)^2$
=> Ans – (C)
2) Answer (A)
(A) : 12 A 6 B 3 C 4 D 3 = 14
$\equiv12+6-3\times4\div3=14$
L.H.S. = $12+6-(\frac{3\times4}{3})$
= $18-4=14=$ R.H.S.
=> Ans – (A)
3) Answer (B)
(A) : $8@8\circledR$8#8%8=9
$\equiv8+8\div8\times8-8$
L.H.S. = $8+8-8=8\neq$ R.H.S.
(B) : 42%26$\circledR$13#2@8=46
$\equiv42-26\div13\times2+8$
L.H.S. = $42-4+8=46=$ R.H.S.
=> Ans – (B)
4) Answer (B)
“CONGO” is written as “RZPRD” and “TREAT” is written as “ UQGWX”
The pattern followed is :
Similarly, for PHONE : KMQHK
=> Ans – (B)
5) Answer (A)
Expression : “RESTED” is written as “SDTSFC”
The pattern followed is :
Similarly, for BANNED : CZOMFC
=> Ans – (A)
6) Answer (D)
The word ENCOURAGING does not contain any ‘E’, thus the term Encourage cannot be formed.
=> Ans – (D)
7) Answer (B)
(A) : B 9 D 5 C 5 A
B is brother of D and D is son of C.
Also, C is son of A, => A is either grandfather or grandmother of D.
(B) : B 7 D 9 C 5 A
B is sister of D and D is brother of C.
Also, A is son of C, => A is nephew of D.
=> Ans – (B)
8) Answer (A)
There are 12 people before Q, => Let us assume Q is at 13th position from left end.
There are 15 people between Q and S, => S is at 29th position.
There are 4 people between P and Q, => P can be either at 8th or 18th position from left.
There are 8 people between S and R, => R is at 20th position.
Thus, there are minimum of 29 people in the row.
=> Ans – (A)
9) Answer (A)
Red car is 14th from left and 23rd from right
=> Total number of cars = $(14+23)-1=36$
=> Ans – (A)
10) Answer (A)
The letters corresponding to the above series are : B(2), E(5), I(9), S(19), K(11 or 37)
2 $\times2+1=5$
5 $\times2-1=9$
9 $\times2+1=19$
19 $\times2-1=37$ (or 11)
11 $\times2+1=23\equiv W$
=> Ans – (A)
11) Answer (D)
Consecutive odd numbers are added.
B (+5) = G (+7) = N (+9) = W (+11) = H
=> Ans – (D)
12) Answer (B)
As per the order of dictionary,
= Habit -> Habitat -> Hammer -> Handle -> Harvest
$\equiv$ 12435
=> Ans – (B)
13) Answer (D)
As per the order of dictionary,
= Replicate -> Repository -> Reptile -> Republic -> Reputation
$\equiv$ 45231
=> Ans – (D)
14) Answer (D)
The numbers are of the form : $n^2+n$
(A) : $(8)^2+8=72$
(B) : $(6)^2+6=42$
(C) : $(12)^2+12=156$
(D) : $(4)^2+4=20\neq12$
=> Ans – (D)
15) Answer (B)
If we divide the second number by first number, quotient is 3.
(A) : $\frac{45}{15}=3$
(B) : $\frac{29}{9}=3.22$
(C) : $\frac{93}{31}=3$
(D) : $\frac{123}{41}=3$
=> Ans – (B)
16) Answer (C)
(A) : A (+4) = E (+4) = I
(B) : I (+4) = M (+4) = Q
(C) : E (+4) = I (+3) = L
(D) : M (+4) = Q (+4) = U
=> Ans – (C)
17) Answer (D)
In the first three options, the given combinations are groups of consecutive letters from English alphabetical series, i.e. (EFG), (KLM), (IJK), hence VWY is the odd one.
=> Ans – (D)
18) Answer (B)
First is the type of second, Wheat and barley are rabi crops, while rice and maize are kharif crops, hence Rice – Rabi is the odd one.
=> Ans – (B)
19) Answer (D)
First is the source of second, sound comes from speaker, light from a bulb and fire provides heat, hence Earth – Land is the odd one.
=> Ans – (D)
20) Answer (D)
Expression = 36 : 27 :: 196 : ?
The pattern followed is = $(n)^2:(\frac{n}{2})^3$
Eg :- $(6)^2:(\frac{6}{2})^3=36:27$
Similarly, $(14)^2=196$
=> $(\frac{14}{2})^3=(7)^3=343$
=> Ans – (D)
