1) Answer (A)

Music is composed from notes, similarly a language is made from sentences.

=> Ans – (A)

2) 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)

3) 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)

4) Answer (C)

K has more pencils than N but less than L, => L > K > N.

M has more pencils than L, => M > L.

Combining above statements, we get : M > L > K > N  

J neither has the most nor the least number of pencils.

Thus, N has the least number of pencils.

=> Ans – (C)

5) 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)

6) 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

7) Answer (D)

9) Answer (C)

Ritesh is 12th from the left end. Sudhir is fourth to the right of Ritesh. Hence, Sudhir is 16th from the left end. And also Sudhir is 22nd from the right end. There are 11 people to the left of Ritesh, 21 people to the right of Sudhir and 3 people in between Ritesh and Sudhir. The total number of children’s in the row is: 11 + 3 + 21 + 2(including both Ritesh and Sudhir) = 37. Hence, option C is correct.

10) Answer (A)

Let Vikas started from point A and head north for 9 km to reach B, then he turned left and travelled west for 5 km before reaching C, again he turned left and travelled for 9 km and finally stopped at point D.

=> Ans – (A)

11) Answer (B)

Sparrows and crows are entirely different. But, both are birds.

=> Ans – (B)

12) Answer (A)

Given : $W>R$ and $E \geq S$

Now, for above statements to be true, the expression :

$W>E=A\geq R\geq S$

=> Ans – (A)

13) Answer (A)

Expression : V < E > B = H ≥ N ≥ P

=> $E>B=H\geq N\geq P$ and $E>V$

Thus, the only true statement is = $P\leq B$

=> Ans – (A)

14) Answer (E)

Here, all except Lotus are flowers which grow on land while lotus is a water flower.

=> Ans – (E)

The given statement supports the use of hydroponics among farmers.

The first option definitely weakens the statement as it mentions the high cost of hydroponics. Similarly, the second option also states the disease caused by the water used in hydroponics, it also weakens the given statement.

The fourth option mentions about the loss of crop due to this method and the final option talks about its limitations, thus both weakening the statement.

But the third option gives a choice for the farmers to use hydroponics and thus does not weaken the given statement.

=> Ans – (C)

17) Answer (C)

Given inequality, $3(x^{2} – 4x + 4) < x$
=> $3x^{2} – 13x + 12 < 0$

=> On solving the equations we get x = 3, 4/3
On the checking for the value of the equation in 3 regions, we see that it is negative only for $ \frac{4}{3} < x < 3$
so option c is correct

18) Answer (A)

Number – 4671358

1st, 4th and 7th digits = 4, 1, 8

Now, if a number should be a perfect square of an odd number, then the number should also be odd, i.e. end with ‘1’ in this case.

Numbers ending with 1 = 481, 841

Now, $841=(29)^2$ and 481 is not a perfect square number.

Digit in 10th place = 2

=> Ans – (A)

19) Answer (B)

Number – 38564927

Arranging all even digits in ascend order = 24683597

The criteria to qualify the examination is that a student has to get :

(a) : $\geq50\%$ marks separately in any four subjects.

(b) : $\geq35\%$ marks in each of the six subjects.

Since, only 25% students have qualified in the examination, then these students definitely got at least 35% and above marks in each of the subjects as given in the fourth option.

=> Ans – (D)

23) 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.

24) Answer (C)

Arrange all the vowels and then consonants from left.

IOUFHLRS

Now all the vowels are replaced with previous letters and all the consonants are replaced by next letter.

HNTGIMST

Now third letter from right is M.

Hence, C is the correct answer.

25) Answer (A)

Numbers : 567 284 696 865 738

If ‘1’ is added to the last digit, then numbers : 568 , 285 , 697 , 866 , 739

Now, order of digits is reversed, = 865 , 582 , 796 , 668 , 937

After arranging in ascending order = 582 , 668 , 796 , 865 , 937

Thus, 4th from left = $865\equiv567$

=> Ans – (A)
