Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it, certain words are printed in the bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
Once upon a time there lived a queen in the city of Benaras. Her name was Khema and she was the wife of king Bahuputtaka . One night, the Queen had a dream of a beautiful golden goose that spoke with great wisdom, almost as if he was a sage. She told her husband that she desperately wanted to see a bird just like the one in her dream. So the king asked his minister to find out all that they could about a bird such as this. He was told that such a bird did exist but was extremely rare and difficult to find. They advised him to build a beautiful lake on the outskirts of Benaras so that he may attract such rare and lovely creatures to reside there. In this way the queen might have her wish.
Towards the north, on Mount Cittakuta, there lived about ninety thousand wild geese headed by a beautiful golden goose called king Dhatarattha. He got to hear of this exquisite lake surrounded by water lilies and lotuses floating on the surface. The king had invited all the birds to come and live on it, promising that none of them would ever be harmed. Corn was scattered on a daily basis in order to attract the birds. So a couple of geese went up to their king, the golden goose and told him that they were quite tired of living up on the mountains and would like to see this wonderful lake where they had been promised food and protection. The king agreed to their request and took the flock down south towards Benaras Meanwhile, at the lake king Bahuputtaka had placed hunters all around in order to capture any golden goose that happened to pass by. So the next morning when the headhunters saw this flock of geese approaching he was very excited to see their golden leader. He immediately went about setting up snare amongst the water lilies and lotuses, as he knew that the leader would definitely be the first to alight .
The whole flock came flying down in one mighty swoop and as expected it was the king's foot that touched the water first. He was ensnared and could not escape, seeing this the other geese flew into a panic. But none had the courage to try to free their king and so flew back to Mount Cittacuta for safety. All except one. He was the chief captain, Sumukha replied that he would never desert his master in the face of danger and would either try to save him or die by his side.
At this point the hunter approached and as Sumukha saw him he decided to appeal to his compassion. The hunter asked the golden goose how come he had not noticed the trap that was set. The golden goose replied that when one's time was up it was no use to struggle against what was fated and one must just accept it. The huntsman was very impressed with his grace and wisdom
He then turned to Sumukha and asked why he had not fled with other birds even though he was free to do. Sumukha answered that the golden goose was his king best friend and master and that he could never desert him even at the cost of his own life. Hearing this, the hunter realised that these were a couple of rare birds of great nobility. He did not much care for his own king's reward and decided to do the right thing and set them free. He told Sumukha that as he was ready to die for his king he would set them both free to fly wherever they wish.

Y $$\bigstar$$ Z means Y is mother of Z which means X and Z are siblings. Also, W is son of X which means Z is uncle/aunt of W and W is nephew of Z.
Hence, correct option is A.
Which of the following means p is the father of S ?
Solution
p$$\times$$ Q $$\leq$$ R $$\bigstar$$ S
Now, R $$\bigstar$$ S means S is son/daughter of R.
Q $$\leq$$ R means R is father or mother of Q. hence, S and Q are siblings.
p$$\times$$ Q means Q is son\daughter of P. S is son/daughter of P as S and Q are siblings. Hence S is parent to P.
Hence, the correct option is A.
Which of the following means D is the aunt of C ?
Solution
None of the options establish a relation of C being nephew of D or D being aunt of C.
Hence, none of the option is correct.
The correct option in this case is E.

The following questions are based on five words given below
RAT ONE BUT
AND SAW
(The new words formed after performing the mentioned operations may or not necessarily be meaningful English words.)
If in each of the given words , each alphabet is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical series, in how many words thus formed have the consonants changed to vowels ?
Solution
After changing the alphabets to their next sucessive letters in the alphabetical series,
RAT ONE BUT AND SAW
changes to
SBU POF CVU BOE TBX
Now, in SBU POF CVU BOE the words are obtained after changing consonants to vowels.
Hence, four words have this consonant to vovel change.
Answer is option D.
How many such pairs of letters are there in the word highlighted in bold, each of which has as many letters between them in the word (in both forward and backward directions ) as they have between them in the English alphabetical order ?
Solution
ON in ONE is succesive.
Also in alphabetical series it's sucessive, as in NO
Hence, the answer is one.
And option is B.
If the first alphabet of each of the word is changed to the next alphabet in the English alphabetical series, how many meaningful English words will be formed ?
Solution
The first alphabet of each of the word is changed to the next alphabet in the English alphabetical series,
Hence, RAT ONE BUT AND SAW becomes SAT PNE CUT BND TAW.
Hence, three meaningful words SAT, TAW and CUT are formed.
Answer is option C.
If the given words are arranged in the order as they would appear in the dictionary from left to right which of the following would be fourth from the left ?
Solution
If we arrange the words as they would be arranged in dictionary from left to right.
The words can be arranged as AND BUT ONE RAT SAW
The fourth word is RAT.
Hence, option is option A.
If in each of the given words ,only the consonants are changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical series and the vowels are retained ,in how many words thus formed will the vowels appear twice or more times (same or different vowels)
Solution
The consonants are changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical series and the vowels are retained.
The words would read as SAU OOE CUU AOE TAX
Hence, in four words the the vowels appear twice or more times (same or different vowels).
The correct option is Option E.

For the following questions answer them individually
In a certain code TRUMP is written SUTQN. How is FIRED written in that code ?
Solution
By analysing the coding between TRUMP and SUTQN we get that first pair from right is switched and then first pair from left is switched. Then sucessive letter in alphabetical series is written for first, second, fourth and fifth letter.
For the middle letter, the preceeding letter in alphabetical series is written.
Thus FIRED after first operation would become IFRDE and then after substitution would become JGQEF.
In each of the questions given below which one of the five answer figure should come
after the problem figure, if the sequence were continued ?
Solution
Here, the triangle rotates in closed path. It moves from middle left corner to top right corner to middle of the matrix. The last position was top right corner and hence, the next position would be middle of the matrix.
Only one option has this position of triangle and it is the annswer.
Answer is Option B.
Solution
Here, the eqaul sign follows a closed path from middle right corner to top middle to middle
Also, the square sign follows from top left corner to bottom right corner to top right corner.
In the last case the equal sign is at middle top and square is at bottom right corner. Hence, in next figure equal would be at middle and square would be at top right corner.
Solution
Here, the arrow rotates in anticlockwise direction.
Also, the newly introduced figure (here, square) shuffles from top to bottom.
In last figure the arrow is facing downward, it will rotate and will be pointing right in next figure. The square will shuffle from top to bottom.
Hence, the answer is option A i.e fig.1
Solution
The contents are moving in anti clockwise manner.
In last figure, the F is at second position at bottom from right.
Hence in the next figure it should be at bottom right corner.
The correct option is C.
Solution
Here, B, L rotate in clockwise ditrection with gradual shift in position by one place.
Also, at the bottom, the triangle is darkened sucessively.
Hence, the B at middle would rotate and get shifted to middle right. L will shift from middle right to middle and first triangle would be darkened.
Therefore, the answer figure is 5.
Solution
The X and square seem to follow the side-diagona-side pattern.
The square having completed it's diagonal would move along the side from bottom right corner to right middle.
The X having completed it's side would move diagonally.
Hence, the correct answer figure is 4 i.e option D.
Solution
Here, the easiest strategy is to follow the keyhole and star.
For two consecutive figures, the location of star remains same.
Hence, in the answer figure the star would be at bottom right corner.
They keyhole alternately changes from upside to downside.
In last figure it is downside with respect to vertex. Hence, it would be at topside with respect to vertex in answer figure.
Solution
The one side open square seems to retrace it's path after it's cyclic clock wise movement.
Also, the newly introduced symbols move from top left corner to middle to bottom right corner.
Only figure 4 satisfies all the criterion and hence it's the answer.
Solution
The figures are in set of three.
We are supposed to find the last figure which forms set with last figures of question set.
In first set of question figure, the last two have switching of symbols on all the four side.
Going by this logic, the answer would be figure 5.
Hence, option is Option E.
Solution
The figures are in set of three.
Hence, the answer figure will follow the action of last figure of first set. (i.e third figure.)
In this case, first two figures have rightward shifting by one place and then substitution and the last figure in set is mirror image of second figure and then substitution.
Here, the mirror image of MLRPK will be KPRLM and there will be one substitution.
Hence, the answer will be KPRLE which is option C.
What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question ?
$$\frac{9}{10}+\frac{3}{11}+\frac{7}{15}= ?$$
Solution
(9/10)+(3/11)+(7/15) = (129/110) + 7/15 = (1/5)(129/22 +7/3) = 1/5(541/66) = 541/330
Converting 541/330 into mixed fraction we get $$1\frac{211}{330}$$
$$\sqrt[3]{42875}-?=21$$
Solution
Let unknown be x,
$$\sqrt[3]{42875}+21=x$$
x = 35 - 21 = 14
