Question : Directions: Select the option 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. CAM : EES :: OAT : QEZ :: TOI : ?
Option 1: USO
Option 2: VTO
Option 3: VSO
Option 4: VSP
Correct Answer: VSO
Solution : Given: CAM : EES :: OAT : QEZ :: TOI : ?
Add the consecutive even numbers to the place value of the letters of CAM and OAT to get the related letter clusters. CAM→C + 2 = E; A + 4 = E; M + 6 = S So, CAM is related to EES. OAT→O + 2 = Q; A + 4 = E; T + 6 = Z So, OAT is related to QEZ. Similarly, follow the same pattern for TOI – T + 2 = V; O + 4 = S; I + 6 = O
So, TOI is related to VSO. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : A person covers the first 25 km in 60 minutes and the next 38 km in 30 minutes. What is his average speed for the whole journey?
Option 1: 46 km /hr
Option 2: 49 km/hr
Option 3: 42 km/hr
Option 4: 36 km /hr
Correct Answer: 42 km/hr
Solution : Given: A person covers the first 25 km in 60 minutes and the next 38 km in 30 minutes. Total distance = 25 + 38 = 63 km Total time = (60 + 30) = 90 minutes = $\frac{90}{60}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ hours So, the average speed = $\frac{63}{\frac{3}{2}}$ = $63×\frac{2}{3}$ = 42 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 42 km/hr.
Question : Select the most appropriate word for the given group of words.
A sacred place
Option 1: Relic

Therefore, the correct one-word substitute is sanctum.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Question : Directions: In the following diagram, the police officer represents a circle, and the corrupt represents a triangle. The poet represents a square, and the married represents a rectangle.
The area representing unmarried police officers who are not corrupt but are poets is?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : Given: The police officer represents a circle, the corrupt represents a triangle, the poet represents a square, and the married represents a rectangle.
In the below diagram, the shaded part represents the common region of unmarried police officers who are not corrupt but are poets. Married represents a rectangle and a triangle represents corrupt people. Therefore, these parts are not included.
So, 8 unmarried police officers who are not corrupt but are poets. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : The average marks obtained by S1 and S2 is 30 more than the average marks obtained by S2 and S3. If the marks obtained by S3 is 50, then what are the marks obtained by S1?
Option 1: 80
Option 2: 105
Option 3: 95
Option 4: 110
Correct Answer: 110
Solution : Given: The average marks obtained by S1 and S2 is 30 more than the average marks obtained by S2 and S3. The mark obtained by S3 is 50. Use the formula, $\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{The total number of values}}$. According to the question, $\frac{\text{S1+S2}}{2}=\frac{\text{S2+50}}{2}+30$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{S1+S2}}{2}–\frac{\text{S2+50}}{2}=30$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{S1+S2–S2–50}}{2}=30$ ⇒ $S1–50=60$ ⇒ $S1=60+50=110$ Hence, the correct answer is 110.
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (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.) (5, 50, 500) (3, 30, 300)
Option 1: (11, 110, 2200)
Option 2: (7, 70, 700)
Option 3: (14, 140, 1500)
Option 4: (12, 220, 440)
Correct Answer: (7, 70, 700)
Solution : Given: (5, 50, 500); (3, 30, 300)
Multiply the first number by 10, to obtain the second number, and multiply the second number by 10, to obtain the third number – ⇒ (5, 50, 500)→5 × 10 = 50; 50 × 10 = 500 ⇒ (3, 30, 300)→3 × 10 = 30; 30 × 10 = 300
Let's check the options – First option: (11, 110, 2200)→11 × 10 = 110; 110 × 10 = 1100 ≠ 2200 Second option: (7, 70, 700)→7 × 10 = 70; 70 × 10 = 700 Third option: (14, 140, 1500)→14 × 10 = 140; 140 × 10 = 1400 ≠ 1500 Fourth option: (12, 220, 440)→12 × 10 = 120 ≠ 220; 220 × 10 = 2200 ≠ 440
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.
You are looking so pretty on these black outfit.
Option 1: pretty in this
Option 2: No improvement required
Option 3: prettier in these
Option 4: prettiest with those
Correct Answer: pretty in this
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The error in the original sentence is that on these is not the appropriate phrase to describe how someone looks in an outfit. The correct preposition to use in this context is in. On typically denotes a surface or position, whereas in usually signifies inclusion or location within something.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: You are looking so pretty in this black outfit.

Question : A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 15% and 20% on an article and is still able to earn a 70% profit. If he offers a single discount of 30%, what will his profit percentage be?
Option 1: 70%
Option 2: 75%
Option 3: 65%
Option 4: 50%
Correct Answer: 75%
Solution : Given, Successive discounts = 15% and 20% Profit = 70% We know, Selling Price = $\frac{100+\text{Profit%}}{100}\times$ CP, where CP is the cost price. Let the cost price of an article be Rs. 100 ⇒ Price after first discount of 15% = 100 – 15% of 100 = Rs. 85 ⇒ Price after second discount of 20% = 85 – 20% of 85 = 85 − 17 = Rs. 68 So, the original cost Price = $\frac{100}{100+70}$ × 68 = $\frac{10}{17}$ × 68 = Rs. 40 To sell the article at a 30% discount, Selling Price = 100 − $\frac{30}{100}$ × 100 = Rs. 70 ⇒ Profit = SP – CP = 70 – 40 = Rs. 30 ⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}$ × 100 = $\frac{30}{40}$ × 100 = 75% Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
