Option 1: ACBD

Option 2: ADCB

Option 3: CDBA

Option 4: CBAD

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ADCB


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

  • Sentence A introduces the topic by stating that there are several factors contributing to wisdom, providing a general context for the discussion.
  • Sentence D specifies and prioritises one particular factor, the "sense of proportion," as the most important among the contributing factors to wisdom.
  • Sentence C elaborates on the sense of proportion, defining it as the capacity to consider all important factors in a problem and to assign the appropriate significance to each, contributing to a deeper understanding of the concept.
  • Sentence B adds complexity to the discussion by explaining that achieving a sense of proportion has become more challenging due to the increased complexity of specialized knowledge required, offering a logical and relevant extension to the initial idea in Sentence D.

So, the correct sentence would be: There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these, I should put first a sense of proportion. This is the capacity to take account of all important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. Doing this has become more difficult than before owing to the complexity of the specialised knowledge required.

Question : Directions: Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
OTLN, MSJM, KRHL, IQFK, ?

Option 1: HPDK

Option 2: GQDJ

Option 3: GPDJ

Option 4: GPDK

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: GPDJ


Solution : Given:
OTLN, MSJM, KRHL, IQFK,?

In the above-given series, subtract 2 from the place value of the first and third letters, and 1 from the place value of the second and fourth letters of each term to get the next term.
First letter of the series→O – 2 = M; M – 2 = K; K – 2 = I; I – 2 = G
Second letter of the series→T – 1 = S; S – 1 = R; R – 1 = Q; Q – 1 = P
Third letter of the series→L – 2 = J; J – 2 = H; H – 2 = F; F – 2 = D
Fourth letter of the series→N – 1 = M; M – 1 = L; L – 1 = K; K – 1 = J

So, GPDJ is the missing term of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: J is the wife of the son of M


Solution : As per the given information, the family tree will be as follows –

Here, the quadrilateral represents the male, and the circular figure represents the female in the figure.
Let's check the options –
First option: H is the husband of the sister of K – 
From the above family tree, it's clear that J is the sister of K, and H is J's husband. So, H is the husband of the sister of K. Therefore, this option is correct.
Second option: J is the wife of the son of M – From the above family tree, it's clear that J is the daughter of M and H is the son-in-law of M. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Third option: H is the husband of the sister of L – From the above family tree, it's clear that J is the sister of L, and H is J's husband. So, H is the husband of the sister of L. Therefore, this option is correct.
Fourth option: H is the husband of the daughter of M – From the above family tree, it's clear that J is the daughter of M, and H is J's husband. So, H is the husband of the daughter of M. Therefore, this option is correct.

So, only the second option does not depict the correct relation, as per the family tree. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying, etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.)
(25, 9, 56)
(13, 14, 183)

Option 1: (42, 12, 228)

Option 2: (11, 16, 135)

Option 3: (19, 23, 511)

Option 4: (27, 15, 198)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (27, 15, 198)


Solution : Given:
(25, 9, 56); (13, 14, 183)

(25, 9, 56)→25 + 56 = 81 = (9)²
(13, 14, 183)→13 + 183 = 196 = (14)²

Now, let's check the given options –
First option: (42, 12, 228) = 42 + 228 = 270; 270 is not a perfect square.
Second option: (11, 16, 135) = 11 + 135 = 146; 146 is not a perfect square.
Third option: (19, 23, 511) ≠ 19 + 511 = 530; 530 is not a perfect square.
Fourth option: (27, 15, 198) 27 + 198 = 225 = (15)²

So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Option 3: QMNP

Option 4: RNMQ

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: QNMQ


Solution : Given:
WTDH, URGK, SPJN, ?, OLPT

In the above-given series, subtract 2 from the place value of the first two letters and add 3 to the place value of the last two letters.
WTDH→W – 2 = U; T – 2 = R; D + 3 = G; H + 3 = K
URGK→U – 2 = S; R – 2 = P; G + 3 = J; K + 3 = N
SPJN→S – 2 = Q; P – 2 = N; J + 3 = M; N + 3 = Q
QNMQ→Q – 2 = O; N – 2 = L; M + 3 = P; Q + 3 = T

So, QNMQ is the missing term of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
