Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. WORLD, XPSME, ?, ZRUOG
Option 1: YQTNF
Option 2: YRTNF
Option 3: YTQNF
Option 4: YQNTF
Correct Answer: YQTNF
Solution : Given: WORLD, XPSME, ?, ZRUOG
Add 1 to the place value of each letter of the previous term to obtain the next term – WORLD→W + 1 = X; O + 1 = P; R + 1 = S; L + 1 = M; D + 1 = E XPSME→X + 1 = Y; P + 1 = Q; S + 1 = T; M + 1 = N; E + 1 = F YQTNF→Y + 1 = Z; Q + 1 = R; T + 1 = U; N + 1 = O; F + 1 = G
So, YQTNF is the missing term. Hence, the first option is correct.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : As there is a restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check where the question figure can exactly fit itself in the given option figures. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the second option figure.
Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’. Sia is always afraid of loosing her favourite doll.

Question : Directions: Two positions of a cube are given. Based on them find out which number is found opposite number 1 in the given cube.
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 4: 4
Solution : According to the dice rule, if two positions of the same dice are given with two common faces but in different orientations then out of those two common faces the faces that are not common are opposite to each other.
Therefore, the opposite face of the 1 is 3. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: A cube is made by folding the given sheet. In the cube so formed, what would be the symbol on the opposite side of ?
Solution : In the 3D view of dice, 1. Each face out of the three faces in the 3D view should be from all the pairs. 2. Two opposite faces cannot appear adjacently in the 3D view of a folded cube figure. So, the opposite pairs of faces are as follows –
So, in the 3D view of dice, the face opposite the face showing is . Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : In an equilateral $\triangle$ PQR, S is the point on the side QR such that QR = 3QS. If PQ = 9 cm, then what will be the length (in cm) of PS?
Option 1: $\sqrt{60} $
Option 2: $\sqrt{63}$
Option 3: $\sqrt{62}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{61}$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{63}$
Solution : Draw PT perpendicular to QR. PT = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times 9=\frac{9\sqrt3}{2}$ cm QT = $\frac{9}{2}$ cm Given, QR = 3QS ⇒ QS = $\frac{9}{3}$ = 3 cm ST = QT – QS =$\frac{9}{2} -3$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ Using Pythagoras' theorem: Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2 PS2 = PT2 + ST2 (PS)2 = $(\frac{9\sqrt3}{2})^2 + (\frac{3}{2})^2$ ⇒ $(PS)^2=\frac{243}{4} + \frac{9}{4}$ ⇒ $(PS)^2=\frac{252}{4}$ ⇒ $(PS)^2=63$ ⇒ $PS=\sqrt{63}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{63}$ cm.
Question : Directions: In the following question, the given sentence has four parts marked P, Q, R, and S. Choose the part of the sentence with the error and select it as your answer. If there is no error, select 'No error (S)' as your answer.
(P) I did not like his (Q) comments on my paper (R) but I had no alternative as I had agreed to keep quite. (S) No error
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The correct term is "keep quiet", which means to remain silent or not speak. "Keep quite" is incorrect. Quite means completely or entirely, whereas quiet means making little or no noise.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I did not like his comments on my paper, but I had no alternative as I had agreed to keep quiet.
Question : Directions: Select the option that represents the letters which, when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series. _ L _ _ K S _ T U _ S L _ _ K
Option 1: L U S K T U K
Option 2: U T S K T L U
Option 3: S T U L K T U
Option 4: K T U L U T S
Correct Answer: S T U L K T U
Solution : Given: _ L _ _ K S _ T U _ S L _ _ K
To fill the series we have to divide the series – _ L _ _ K / S _ T U _ / S L _ _ K Let's check each option – First option: L U S K T U K; L L U S K / S K T U T / S L U K K (No repeated pattern has been found) Second option: U T S K T L U; U L T S K / S K T U T / S L L U K (No repeated pattern has been found) Third option: S T U L K T U; S L T U K / S L T U K / S L T U K (SLTUK is repeated in the series) Fourth option: K T U L U T S; K L T U K / S L T U U / S L T S K (No repeated pattern has been found)
So, the series becomes→S L T U K S L T U K S L T U K. Hence, the third option is correct.
