Question : Directions: In a code language, WINNER is written as XJOOFS, and RALLY is written as SBMMZ. How will CARTOON be written in that language?
Option 1: DBSOPPU
Option 2: CAPTOON
Option 3: DBSUPPO
Option 4: CAPNOOT
Correct Answer: DBSUPPO
Solution : Given: WINNER is written as XJOOFS, and RALLY is written as SBMMZ.
Add 1 to each letter of WINNER, to obtain the required code – W + 1 = X; I + 1 = J; N + 1 = O; N + 1 = O; E + 1 = F; R + 1 = S Thus, WINNER is coded as XJOOFS. And, RALLY is written as SBMMZ. R + 1 = S; A + 1 = B; L + 1 = M; L + 1 = M; Y + 1 = Z Thus, RALLY is coded as SBMMZ. Similarly, follow the same pattern for CARTOON – C + 1 = D; A + 1 = B; R + 1 = S; T + 1 = U; O + 1 = P; O + 1 = P; N + 1 = O
So, CARTOON is coded as DBSUPPO. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number pair from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 24 – 6
Option 2: 48 – 12
Option 3: 72 – 24
Option 4: 44 – 11
Correct Answer: 72 – 24
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 24 – 6; 24 ÷ 6 = 4 Second option: 48 – 12; 48 ÷ 12 = 4 Third option: 72 – 24; 72 ÷ 24 = 3 Fourth option: 44 – 11; 44 ÷ 11 = 4
So, the third option is different from the other options as the quotient after division is 4 in all the options except the third one. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Study the graph and answer the question.
What percentage of the total number of workers in the factory is the number of workers whose weekly earnings are INR 6,500 or above but less than INR 8,500? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.)
Option 1: 50.2
Option 2: 42.6
Option 3: 35.8
Option 4: 49.3
Correct Answer: 49.3
Solution : The total number of workers in the factory are = 60 + 85 + 95 + 105 + 90 + 80 + 70 + 65 + 50 = 700 Number of workers whose weekly earnings are INR 6500 or above but less than INR 8,500 = 105 + 90 + 80 + 70 = 345 Required percentage = $\frac{345}{700} \times 100$ = 49.3% Hence, the correct answer is 49.3.
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the number that can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 72
Option 2: 76
Option 3: 80
Option 4: 84
Correct Answer: 80
Solution : In the row, add the square of the first and the third number and the add second number to the resultant number to obtain the fourth number.
In the first row: 32 + 52 = 9 + 25 = 34 and 34 + 11 = 45 In the second row: 22 + 62 = 4 + 36 = 40 and 40 + 4 = 44 Similarly, in the third row: 32 + 82 = 9 + 64 = 73 and 73 + 7 = 80
So, 80 is the missing number in the given figure. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : A person crosses a 900-metre-long street in 6 minutes. The speed of the person, in km/hr, is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 9
Solution : Given, Length of the street = 900 m = 0.9 km Time = 6 min = $\frac{6}{60}$ hours = $\frac{1}{10}$ hours We know, Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{0.9}{\frac{1}{10}}$ km/hr = 9 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 9.
Question : Directions: In a code language, if I like chocolates is written as 958, We bought chocolates is written as 153, and We like them is written as 816, then how would I bought them be written in this language?
Option 1: 936
Option 2: 859
Option 3: 951
Option 4: 251
Correct Answer: 936
Solution : Given: 1. I like chocolates ⇒ 958 2. We bought chocolates ⇒ 153 3. We like them ⇒ 816
By comparing all the above–coded sentences, we find that – In sentences 1 and 2, chocolates is a common word and 5 is a common code. In sentences 2 and 3, We are a common word and 1 is a common code. In sentences 1 and 3, like is a common word and 8 is a common code. The remaining word and code are in sentence 1 I and 9; in sentence 2 bought, and 3; and in sentence 3 them and 6. Finally, chocolates ⇒ 5; We ⇒ 1, like ⇒ 8, I ⇒ 9, bought ⇒ 3, them ⇒ 6
So, I bought them will be coded as 936. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".

Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The error was in the use of, "in" instead of "into".
"Jumped into the river" is the correct phrase to indicate the action of entering the river, which involves motion.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The beautiful, young girl jumped into the river in a state of depression.
