The phrase a few days away is a common expression indicating a short period before a specific event, in this case, Halloween. The use of a few makes the sentence grammatically correct and idiomatic, providing the intended meaning that Halloween is approaching in a short amount of time.
Therefore, the correct answer will be a few.
Question : If A : B is 7 : 4 and A – B = 9, then what is the value of A + B?
Option 1: 21
Option 2: 23
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 33
Correct Answer: 33
Solution : A : B = 7: 4 Let A = 7k and B = 4k Given, A – B = 9 ⇒ 7k – 4k = 9 $\therefore$ k = 3 So, A = 7 × 3 = 21, B = 4 × 3 = 12 ⇒ A + B = 21 + 12 = 33 Hence, the correct answer is 33.
Question : Directions: Speed of six bikes T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 are compared. The speed of T6 is more than only three bikes. No two bikes have the same speed. The speed of T4 is more than T2 but less than T6. The speed of T3 is not less than T5. The speed of T2 is not the least. Speed of which bikes can be more than T4? I. T3 II. T1
Option 1: Only II
Option 2: Only I
Option 3: Neither I nor II
Option 4: Both I and II
Correct Answer: Both I and II
Solution : Given: (I) Speed of six bikes T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 are compared. The speed of T6 is more than only three bikes. _ > _ > T6 > _ > _ > _ (II) No two bikes have the same speed. The speed of T4 is more than T2 but less than T6. The speed of T3 is not less than T5. The speed of T2 is not the least. As the position of T5 and T1 is not mentioned so there are two possible cases as given below– (Case I) T3 > T5 >T6 >T4 > T2 >T1 (Case II) T3 > T1 > T6 > T4 > T2 > T5
So, according to both cases, the speed of both T3 and T1 bikes can be more than T4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

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
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
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
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
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.
