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)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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: 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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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.
