Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd letter cluster from the given alternatives.

Option 1: AG

Option 2: WA

Option 3: ET

Option 4: IQ

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ET


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: AG; A (1) + G (7) = 7 + 1 = 8 (This is an even number.)
Second option: WA; W (23) + A (1) = 23 + 1 = 24 (This is an even number.)
Third option: ET; E (5) + T (20) = 20 + 5 = 25 (This is an odd number.)
Fourth option: IQ; I (9) + Q (17) = 9 + 17 = 26 (This is an even number.)

So, the third option is different from the other options as the resultant is an odd number. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: A + B means A is the sister of B;
A – B means A is the brother of B;
A × B means A is the father of B;
A ÷ B means A is the wife of B.
If A + B – C ÷ D × E – F, then which of the following statements is NOT correct?

Option 1: C is the mother of F

Option 2: E is the brother of B

Option 3: A is the sister of the wife of D

Option 4: A is the sister of C

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: E is the brother of B


Solution : According to 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: C is the mother of F – From the above family tree, it's clear that E is the brother of F, and E is the Son of C. So, C is the mother of F as well. Therefore, this option is correct.
Second option: E is the brother of B – From the above family tree, it's clear that E is the brother of F, and B is the uncle of E. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Third option: A is the sister of the wife of D – From the above family tree, it's clear that A is the sister of C, and C is D's wife. So, A is the sister of the wife of D. Therefore, this option is correct.
Fourth option: A is the sister of C – From the above family tree, it's clear that A is the sister of B and C. 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.

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 3.

Option 1: express

Option 2: disappear

Option 3: collect

Option 4: sterilise

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: express


Solution : The right option is the first option.

The sentence continues with a colon (:), indicating that what comes after will explain or provide more detail about the preceding statement.

The phrase to express myself in some mode of life describes the action that the speaker (the subject "I") intends to undertake.

Overall, the sentence expresses the idea that the speaker wants to find a way to communicate or articulate his identity or feelings within various aspects of life, like home.

So the completed sentence would be: "It calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church, and I will try to express myself in some mode of life."

Question : Directions: Which two numbers, from amongst the given options, should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27) – 11 = 112

Option 1: 18 and 11

Option 2: 12 and 4

Option 3: 6 and 4

Option 4: 18 and 12

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6 and 4


Solution : Given:
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112

Interchange the numbers given in the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation.

First option: 18 and 11
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112
⇒ 11 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 18 = 112
= 11 + 72 + 9 x 4 + 3 – 18 = 112
= 11 + 72 + 36 + 3 – 18 = 112
= 122 – 18 = 104 ≠ 112
Second option: 12 and 4
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112
⇒ 18 + (4 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 12 + (27)– 11 = 112
=18 + 24 + 9 x 12 + 3 – 11 = 112
=18 + 24 + 108 + 3 – 11 = 112
=153 – 11 = 142 ≠ 112
Third option: 6 and 4
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112
⇒ 18 + (12 x 4) + (63 ÷ 7) x 6 + (27)– 11 = 112
=18 + 48 + 9 x 6 + 3 – 11 = 112
=18 + 48 + 54 + 3 – 11 = 112
=123 – 11 = 112 = R.H.S
Fourth option: 18 and 12
18 + (12 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112
⇒ 12 + (18 x 6) + (63 ÷ 7) x 4 + (27)– 11 = 112
= 12 + 108 + 9 x 4 + 3 – 11 = 112
= 12 + 108 + 36 + 3 – 11 = 112
= 159 – 11 = 148 ≠ 112

So, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.

Option 4: Rajendra Prasad

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Question : Directions: Three of the following four-letter clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.
AFKP, GKPS, SXCH, JOTY

Option 1: JOTY

Option 2: SXCH

Option 3: GKPS

Option 4: AFKP

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: GKPS


Solution : Given: 
AFKP, GKPS, SXCH, JOTY

Let's check the letter clusters one by one –
AFKP→A + 5 = F; F + 5 = K; K + 5 = P
GKPS→G + 4 = K; K + 5 = P; P + 3 = S
SXCH→S + 5 = X; X + 5 = C; C + 5 = H
JOTY→J + 5 = O; O + 5 = T; T + 5 = Y

So, GKPS is different from the other letter clusters as the difference between the place values of the letters is different. Hence, the third option is correct.
