Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Migaloo is by far one of the world’s most recognisable whales because he is completely white. Thanks to genetic sampling of Migaloo’s skin, scientists have identified that he’s male, and his albino appearance is a result of a variation in the gene responsible for the colour of his skin.
Simply by looking different, Migaloo has become an icon within Australia’s east coast humpback whale population. Indeed, Migaloo has his own Twitter account with over 10,000 followers and a website where fans can lodge sightings and learn more about humpback whales.
He was first discovered in 1991 off Byron Bay, Australia, and has since played hide and seek for many years, with many not knowing where or when he’ll show up next. He’s even surprised Kiwi fans by showing up in New Zealand waters. With the last official sighting two years ago, the time has once again come for us to ask: where is Migaloo?
Already this year there have been false sightings, such as a near all white whale spotted off New South Wales. To make things more confusing, regular-looking humpbacks can trick whale watchers when they flip upside down, due to their white bellies.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives. 5 : 36 :: 7 : ?
Option 1: 36
Option 2: 49
Option 3: 64
Option 4: 81
Correct Answer: 64
Solution : Given: 5 : 36 :: 7 : ?
Like, 5 : 36→5 + 1 = 6; 62 = 36 Similarly, for 7 : ?→7 + 1 = 8; 82 = 64

Question : The price of a car is first increased by 35% and after that, the price is decreased by 25% due to a reduction in sales. What is the net percentage change in the final price of the car?
Option 1: Decreases by $2 \frac{1}{5}$%
Option 2: Increases by $2 \frac{1}{3}$%
Option 3: Decreases by $1 \frac{3}{5}$%
Option 4: Increases by $1 \frac{1}{4}$%
Correct Answer: Increases by $1 \frac{1}{4}$%
Solution : Let the initial price of the car be 100. After a 35% increase, the price becomes $(100×\frac{135}{100}) = 135$ After 25% decrease on the new price = $135 - \frac{25}{100}\times 135=135-\frac{135}{4}=\frac{405}{4}$ Percentage Change = $\frac{\text{Final Price – Initial Price}}{\text{Initial Price}} \times 100$
Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes −, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following equation? 94 C 12 B 6 A 216 D 9 =?
Option 1: 46
Option 2: 52
Option 3: 47
Option 4: 68
Correct Answer: 46
Solution : Given: A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes −, and D denotes ÷ 94 C 12 B 6 A 216 D 9 =?
After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get: = 94 – 12 × 6 + 216 ÷ 9 =
Question : The area of a rectangular field is 480 m2. If the length is 20% more than the breadth, then the length of the rectangular field is:
Option 1: 30 m
Option 2: 20 m
Option 3: 24 m
Option 4: 27 m
Correct Answer: 24 m
Solution : Given: The area of a rectangular field = $480\ m^2$ Let the breadth be $10x$ Length is 20% more than breadth = $\frac{120}{100}\times10x$ $= 12x$ Area of the rectangle = length × breadth ⇒ $480 = 10x \times 12x$ ⇒ $480 = 120x^2$ ⇒
