Question : Directions: In the following question you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols. If + means ×, – means +, × means ÷, ÷ means –, then what is the value of 50 + 10 – 50 × 10 ÷ 125 = ?
Option 1: 380
Option 2: 56
Option 3: 180
Option 4: –125
Correct Answer: 380
Solution : Given: + means ×, – means +, × means ÷, ÷ means – 50 + 10 – 50 × 10 ÷ 125 = ?
Now, replace the given symbols – = 50 × 10 + 50 ÷ 10 – 125 = 50 × 10 +
Question : If the difference between the average of $x, y$ and $y, z$ is 12, then the difference between $x$ and $z$ is:
Option 1: 24
Option 2: 48
Option 3: 12
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Given: The difference between the average of $x$, $y$ and $y$, $z$ is 12. According to the question, $\frac{x+y}{2}–\frac{y+z}{2}=12$ ⇒ $\frac{x+y–y–z}{2}=12$ ⇒ $\frac{x–z}{2}=12$ ⇒ $x–z=24$ Hence, the correct answer is 24.

Question : Directions: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. X can be represented by 10, 44, etc, and M can be represented by 75, 99, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word PLAN.
Option 1: 12, 58, 67, 40
Option 2: 41, 76, 98, 04
Option 3: 00, 95, 57, 12
Option 4: 23, 68, 79, 22
Correct Answer: 41, 76, 98, 04
Solution : Given: PLAN
Number representations of each letter – P→00, 12, 23, 34, 41 L→57, 69, 76, 88, 95 A→55, 67, 79, 86, 98 N→04, 11, 22, 33, 40
First option: 12, 58, 67, 40; L cannot be represented as 58. Second option:

Question : Directions: Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some laces are shoes. Some laces are socks. Conclusions: I. All socks are shoes. II. Some socks are laces.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All socks are shoes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between socks and shoes.
Question : ABCD is a square. Draw an equilateral $\triangle $PBC on side BC considering BC is a base and an equilateral $\triangle $QAC on diagonal AC considering AC is a base. Find the value of $\frac{\text{area of $\triangle PBC$}}{\text{area of $\triangle QAC$}}$.
Option 1: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $1$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$
Solution : Let the side length of the square ABCD as $a$. The area of an equilateral triangle with $s$ as side length $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2$ The area of $\triangle $PBC, $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$ The area of $\triangle $QAC, $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(a\sqrt{2})^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 2a^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a^2$ So, $\frac{\text{Area of $\triangle$PBC}}{\text{Area of
