Question : Directions: Three statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All papers are chair.
Some chairs are ground.
All cats are ground.
Conclusions:
I. Some cats are chairs.
II. Some chairs are not paper.

Option 1: Only conclusion II follows

Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 3: Only conclusion I follows

Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statement is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some cats are chairs – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between cats and chairs. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some chairs are not paper – It is a possibility that the circle representing chairs is not completely overlapped by the circle representing papers. But this is not definite. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Marks obtained by the seven students of a tuition class, P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V, are mentioned. P scored the second-highest marks in the class. Marks scored by V were more than only one of the persons. S's score was more than T but less than P. Three people got higher than T and three got lesser than T. Neither R nor Q received the lowest marks. Given that no two students have the same marks, whose marks were the lowest?

Option 1: S

Option 2: U

Option 3: T

Option 4: V

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: U


Solution : Given:
 (I) P scored the second-highest marks in the class. Marks scored by V were more than only one of the persons.
_ > P > _ > _ > _ > V > _   
(II) S's score was more than T but less than P. Three people got higher than T and three got lesser than T. Neither R nor Q received the lowest marks. Given that no two students have the same marks.
R/Q > P > S > T > R/Q > V > U

So, U scores the lowest marks. Hence, the second 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.
K4N : P9N :: A5Z : B11D :: P6R : ?

Option 1: T13S

Option 2: S13T

Option 3: R13S

Option 4: R13T

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: T13S


Solution : Given:
K4N : P9N :: A5Z : B11D :: P6R : ?

Like, K4N : P9N –


And, A5Z : B11D –

Similarly, follow the same pattern for P6R –

Thus, P6R is coded as T13S. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, PASTA is written as AP19AT. How will VOCAL be written in that language?

Option 1: OVL3A

Option 2: O3VLA

Option 3: OV3LA

Option 4: OU8AL

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: OV3LA


Solution : Given:
PASTA is written as AP19AT.

Interchange the position of the first letter with the second letter and the fourth letter with the fifth letter and write the place value of the middle letter of PASTA, to obtain the required code –


Thus, PASTA is coded as AP19AT.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for VOCAL –

Thus, VOCAL is coded as OV3LA in the code language. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
DH, EJ, FL, GN, ?

Option 1: PH

Option 2: HN

Option 3: GM

Option 4: HP

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: HP


Solution : Given:
DH, EJ, FL, GN, ?

In the above-given series, add 1 and 2 to the place values of the first and second letters of the letter clusters.
DH→D + 1 = E; H + 2 = J
EJ→E + 1 = F; J + 2 = L
FL→F + 1 = G; L + 2 = N
GN→G + 1 = H; N + 2 = P

So, HP is the missing term of the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the option related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number.
7 : 125 :: 8 : 216 :: 9 : ?

Option 1: 755

Option 2: 824

Option 3: 343

Option 4: 729

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 343


Solution : Given:
7 : 125 :: 8 : 216 :: 9 : ?

Subtract 2 from the first number, and then find the cube of the resultant, to get the second number –
Like, 7 : 125→7 – 2 = 5; (5)3 = 125
And, 8 : 216→8 – 2 = 6; (6)3 = 216
Similarly, follow the same pattern for, 9 : ?→9 – 2 = 7; (7)3 = 343

So, 343 is related to 9. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The ratio of P, Q, and R is 2 : 5 : 7 respectively. If their sum is 840, then what is the difference between P and R?

Option 1: 300

Option 2: 380

Option 3: 200

Option 4: 260

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 300


Solution : Given: The ratio of P, Q, and R is 2 : 5 : 7 respectively.
Their sum is 840.
Let the required number be $2x$, $5x$ and $7x$ respectively.
According to the question,
⇒ $2x+5x+7x=840$
⇒ $14x=840$
⇒ $x=60$
The difference between P and R $=7x-2x=5x=5\times 60=300$
Hence, the correct answer is 300.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the missing number of the given series.
100, 105, 92, 113, 84, ?

Option 1: 118

Option 2: 122

Option 3: 121

Option 4: 120

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 121


Solution : Given:
100, 105, 92, 113, 84, ?

In the above-given series, add and subtract alternately, the natural numbers with the difference of 8 to the numbers.
100 + 5 = 105;
105 – (5 + 8) = 105 – 13 = 92; 
92 + (13 + 8) = 92 + 21 = 113;
113 – (21 + 8) = 113 – 29 = 84;
84 + (29 + 8) = 84 + 37 = 121

So, 121 is the missing number. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.
No matter how mountains are formed, they eventually becomes too heavy and succumb to gravity.

Option 1: formed, they eventually becomes

Option 2: no matter how mountains are

Option 3: too heavy and succumb to gravity

Option 4: No error

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: formed, they eventually becomes


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

  • The part of the given sentence that has an error is becomes. The correct form should be become. 
  • The subject mountains are plural, so the verb become should also be in the plural form to agree with the subject.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "No matter how mountains are formed, they eventually become too heavy and succumb to gravity."
