Question : A alone can do a work in 16 days and B alone can do the same work in 12 days. If they worked together on it for 4 days and A left. How long did B take to finish the remaining work?
Option 1: 7 days
Option 2: 5 days
Option 3: 6 days
Option 4: 8 days
Correct Answer: 5 days
Solution : Time taken by A to do the work = 16 days Part of work done by A in a day = $\frac{1}{16}$ Time taken by B to do the work = 12 days Part of work done by B in a day = $\frac{1}{12}$ Part of work done by A and B in 4 days = 4 × ( $\frac{1}{16}$+$\frac{1}{12}$) = 4 × $\frac{3+4}{48}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$ Remaining work = $1-\frac{7}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ Time taken by B to do the remaining work = $\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{12}}$ = 5 days Hence, the correct answer is 5 days.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, WORK is coded as 67, and CUP is coded as 40. How will KITE be coded in that code language?
Option 1: 36
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 38
Option 4: 42
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : Given: WORK is coded as 67, and CUP is coded as 40.
Add the positional values of the alphabet of the given word to obtain the code. WORK→23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 67 CUP→3 + 21 + 16 = 40 Similarly, KITE→11 + 9 + 20 + 5 = 45
So, KITE is coded as 45. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? –67, –64, –58, –49, –37, –22, ?
Option 1: –2
Option 2: 2
Option 3: –4
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: –4
Solution : Given: –67, –64, –58, –49, –37, –22, ?
The pattern is as follows – –67 + 3 = –64; –64 + 6 = –58; –58 + 9 = –49; –49 + 12 = –37; –37 + 15 = –22; –22 + 18 = –4
So, the missing number is –4. Hence, the third option is correct.
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 ×, and ÷ means –, then which of the following equations is correct?
Option 1: 36 × 6 + 3 – 2 < 20
Option 2: 36 × 6 + 3 × 2 = 20
Option 3: 36 + 6 × 3 + 2 = 20
Option 4: 36 + 6 – 3 × 2 = 20
Correct Answer: 36 + 6 – 3 × 2 = 20
Solution : Given: + means ÷, × means +, – means ×, and ÷ means –
Let's check the options – First option: 36 × 6 + 3 – 2 < 20 = 36 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 = 36 + 2 × 2 = 36 + 4 = 40 > 20; L.H.S. is not smaller than R.H.S. Second option: 36 × 6 + 3 × 2 = 20 = 36 + 6 ÷ 3 + 2 = 36 + 2 + 2 = 40 ≠ 20; L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Third option: 36 + 6 × 3 + 2 = 20 = 36 ÷ 6 + 3 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 ≠ 20; L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Fourth option: 36 + 6 – 3 × 2 = 20 = 36 ÷ 6 × 3 + 2 = 20 = 6 × 3 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20; L.H.S. = R.H.S.
So, only the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 9 ÷ 3 + 7 = 4 – 6
Option 1: – and =
Option 2: ÷ and –
Option 3: + and –
Option 4: ÷ and =
Correct Answer: – and =
Solution : Given: 9 ÷ 3 + 7 = 4 – 6
Replace the given symbols according to the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: – and = ⇒ 9 ÷ 3 + 7 – 4 = 6 = 3 + 7 – 4 = 6 = R.H.S. Second option: ÷ and – ⇒ 9 – 3 + 7 = 4 ÷ 6 = 13 ≠ 0.67 Third option: + and – ⇒ 9 ÷ 3 – 7 = 4 + 6 = 3 – 7 = 10 = –4 ≠ 10 Fourth option: ÷ and = ⇒ 9 = 3 + 7 ÷ 4 – 6 = 9 = 3 + 1.75 – 6 = 9 ≠ –1.25
So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the fourth term is related to the third term. PRAY : UWFD :: MONK : RTSP :: FAIT : ?
Option 1: KEMY
Option 2: KFNY
Option 3: KENY
Option 4: KFMY
Correct Answer: KFNY
Solution : Given: PRAY : UWFD :: MONK : RTSP :: FAIT : ?
Like, PRAY : UWFD→P(16) + 5 = U(21); R(18) + 5 = W(23); A(1) + 5 = F(6); Y(25) + 5 = D(4) And, MONK : RTSP→M(13) + 5 = R(18); O(15) + 5 = T(20); N(14) + 5 = S(19); K(11) + 5 = P(16) Similarly, for FAIT : ?→F(6) + 5 = K(11); A(1) + 5 = F(6); I(9) + 5 = N(14); T(20) + 5 = Y(25)
So, KFNY is related to FAIT. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : 42 boys can complete a piece of work in 20 days working 8 hours per day. In how many days can 14 boys complete the same work, each boy working 12 hours per day?
Option 1: 39 days
Option 2: 40 days
Option 3: 41 days
Option 4: 42 days
Correct Answer: 40 days
Solution : Let the number of days be $D$ for 14 boys working 12 hours per day. Use the formula: $M_1D_1H_1= M_2D_2H_2$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are persons, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $H_1, H_2$ are hours per day. ⇒ 42 × 20 × 8 = 14 × D × 12 ⇒ $D$ = 40 Hence, the correct answer is 40 days.
