Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (18, 36, 60) (14, 28, 44)
Option 1: (21, 42, 164)
Option 2: (17, 32, 60)
Option 3: (16, 28, 64)
Option 4: (22, 44, 76)
Correct Answer: (22, 44, 76)
Solution : Given: (18, 36, 60); (14, 28, 44)
In the above-given set of numbers, multiply the first number by 2 to obtain the second number. Multiply the first number by 4 and then subtract 12 from the resultant to get the third number. (18, 36, 60)→18 × 2 = 36; (18 × 4) – 12 = 72 – 12 = 60 (14, 28, 44)→14 × 2 = 28; (14 × 4) – 12 = 56 – 12 = 44
Let's check the options – First option: (21, 42, 164)→21 × 2 = 42; (21 × 4) – 12 = 84 – 12 = 72 ≠ 164 Second option: (17, 32, 60)→17 × 2 = 34 ≠ 32; (17 × 4) – 12 = 68 – 12 = 56 ≠ 60 Third option: (16, 28, 64)→16 × 2 = 32 ≠ 28; (16 × 4) – 12 = 64 – 12 = 52 ≠ 64 Fourth option: (22, 44, 76)→22 × 2 = 44; (22 × 4) – 12 = 88 – 12 = 76
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Four children, Akram, Bopsi, Priya, and Tulsi are sitting on a ladder. Akram is further up on the ladder than Bopsi. Bopsi is in between Akram and Priya. If Tulsi is still further up than Akram, who is the second person from the bottom?
Option 1: Tulsi
Option 2: Akram
Option 3: Priya
Option 4: Bopsi
Correct Answer: Bopsi
Solution : Given: 1. Akram is further up the ladder than Bopsi.
2. Bopsi is in between Akram and Priya.
3. Tulsi is still further up than Akram.
So, the second person from the bottom is Bopsi. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : In 1991, the Indian rupee was devalued in how many steps?
Option 1: Four times

Question : Directions: Given below are the numbers in the first line and symbols in the second line. Numbers and symbols are codes for each other. Choose the correct code for the given symbols.
Which number can be decoded from the following:
Option 1: 91486
Option 2: 91846
Option 3: 94816
Option 4: 94846
Correct Answer: 91486
Solution : Given:
Now, code the symbols with their respective numbers given in the question –
Thus by decoding the symbols, we will get the respective number 91486. Hence the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster. DUNE : BGSXLQCH :: NEED : LQCHCHBG :: KING : ?
Option 1: GLLQEJIN
Option 2: NGLLQEJI
Option 3: INGLLQEJ
Option 4: LLQEJING
Correct Answer: INGLLQEJ
Solution : Given: DUNE : BGSXLQCH :: NEED : LQCHCHBG :: KING : ?
Subtract 2 and add 3 to the place value of each letter of DUNE and NEED to get the related letter clusters. DUNE→D – 2 = B; D + 3 = G; U – 2 = S; U + 3 = X; N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H Thus, DUNE is related to BGSXLQCH. NEED→N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H; D – 2 = B; D + 3 = G Thus, NEED is related to LQCHCHBG. Similarly, follow the same pattern for KING – K – 2 = I; K + 3 = N; I – 2 = G; I + 3 = L; N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; G – 2 = E; G + 3 = J
So, KING is related to INGLLQEJ. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : An article is sold at a discount of 25% and an additional discount of 28% is allowed on cash payment. If Ramendra purchased the article by paying INR 10,800 in cash, then what was the marked price of the article?
Option 1: INR 19,800
Option 2: INR 20,800
Option 3: INR 20,000
Option 4: INR 18,000
Correct Answer: INR 20,000
Solution : Given, Two discounts are 25% and 28% Selling price of shopkeeper = INR 10,800 Let the market price of the article be INR $x$. According to the question, M.P × (100 – D1)% × (100 – D2)% = S.P $x$ × (100 – 25)% × (100 – 28)% = 10800 $x\times\frac{75}{100}\times\frac{72}{100}=10800$ ⇒ $x=\frac{10800\times100\times100}{75\times72}$ ⇒ $x=20000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,000.
Question : Directions: The interchange of signs and numbers would make the given equation correct. 6 + 2 – 3 = 16
Option 1: + and –, 2 and 3
Option 2: × and +, 3 and 2
Option 3: ÷ and –, 3 and 2
Option 4: × and –, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: × and +, 3 and 2
Solution : Given: 6 + 2 – 3 = 16
Replace the given symbols and numbers in the options one by one with the original symbols and numbers in the given equation. First option: + and –, 2 and 3 ⇒ 6 – 3 + 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 – 3 = 5 ≠ 16 Second option: × and +, 3 and 2 ⇒ 6 × 3 – 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 18 – 2 = 16 Third option: ÷ and –, 3 and 2 ⇒ 6 + 3 ÷ 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 ≠ 16 Fourth option: × and –, 2 and 3 ⇒ 6 + 3 × 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 + 6 = 12 ≠ 16
Here, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
