Q.4 Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 237, 196, 155, 114, ?
1. 47
2. 98
3. 73
4. 64
Solution:
Given series: 237, 196, 155, 114, ?
Let's analyze the given series:
Starting from 237, each subsequent number in the series is obtained by subtracting 41 from the previous number.
237 - 41 = 196
196 - 41 = 155
155 - 41 = 114
Therefore, the missing number in the series can be obtained by subtracting 41 from the last given number, which is 114.
114 - 41 = 73
Thus, the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the series is 73.
Answer: 3. 73
Q.5 Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series. _ Z _ C _ L Z _ C _ L _ X _ V L _ _ _ V
1. L, X, V, X, V, Z, C, Z, X, C
2. X, Z, L, X, V, Z, C, C, C, L
3. L, X, C, X, V, C, Z, C, Z, C
4. L, X, V, V, X, C, C, X, Z, Z
Solution:
Given series: _ Z _ C _ L Z _ C _ L _ X _ V L _ _ _ V
To complete the series, we need to find the appropriate combination of letters that fits the pattern.
Let's analyze the pattern:
From the given series, we can observe the following pattern:
The letters alternate between L and X.
After each L, the letters V and C are repeated.
After each X, the letters Z and C are repeated.
Based on this pattern, the correct combination of letters to complete the series is L, X, V, X, V, Z, C, Z, X, C.
Therefore, the answer is 1. L, X, V, X, V, Z, C, Z, X, C.
Q.6 If '@' means 'addition', '%' means 'multiplication', '$' means 'division', and '#' means 'subtraction', then find the value of the following expression. 29 @ 128 $ 16 % 7 # 22
1. 58
2. 47
3. 63
4. 23
Solution:
Given expression: 29 @ 128 $ 16 % 7 # 22
We need to substitute the symbols (@, %, $, #) with their corresponding operations (addition, multiplication, division, subtraction) and evaluate the expression.
Substituting the symbols:
29 + 128 / 16 * 7 - 22
Performing the operations following the order of operations (multiplication and division first, then addition and subtraction):
29 + 8 * 7 - 22
29 + 56 - 22
85 - 22
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 63.
Answer: 3. 63

Q.9 Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All flowers are beautiful. Vaidehi is beautiful. Conclusions: I. Vaidehi is a flower. II. Some beautiful are flowers.
1. Only conclusion II follows.
2. Either conclusion I or II follows.
3. Only conclusion I follows.
4. Both the conclusions follow.
Solution:
Given statements:
All flowers are beautiful.
Vaidehi is beautiful.
Conclusions:
I. Vaidehi is a flower.
II. Some beautiful are flowers.
To determine the logical conclusions, let's analyze each conclusion:
I. Vaidehi is a flower:
This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements. The fact that Vaidehi is beautiful does not necessarily mean that she is a flower. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow.
II. Some beautiful are flowers:
This conclusion can be logically inferred from the given statements. If all flowers are beautiful, and Vaidehi is beautiful, it implies that Vaidehi falls into the category of "some beautiful" and since all flowers are beautiful, she can be considered one of those "some beautiful" that are flowers. Therefore, conclusion II follows.
Based on the analysis, only conclusion II follows from the given statements.
Answer: 1. Only conclusion II follows.

2. 4, 1, 2, 3, 5
3. 3, 1, 5, 4, 2
4. 3, 1, 4, 5, 2
Solution:
To determine the correct order of the given words in an English dictionary, we need to consider the alphabetical order.
Therefore, the correct order of the given words in an English dictionary is 3, 1, 5, 4, 2.
Answer: 3. 3, 1, 5, 4, 2
Q.12 Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. BACTERIA : EXFWBUFX :: WOUNDS : ?
1. ZLRQGV
2. YLRQFV
3. ZLSQFW
4. ZRXQGV
Solution:
In the given analogy:
BACTERIA : EXFWBUFX :: WOUNDS : ?
To find the relationship between the terms, let's analyze the transformation:
In the first term, each letter is shifted three positions to the right in the English alphabetical order. For example:
B -> E
A -> D
C -> F
T -> W
E -> H
R -> U
I -> L
A -> D
Applying the same pattern to the second term "WOUNDS", we get:
W -> Z
O -> R
U -> X
N -> Q
D -> G
S -> V
Therefore, the correct option that follows the same pattern and completes the analogy is ZLRQGV.
Answer: 1. ZLRQGV
Q.13 Study the given pattern carefully and select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
48 63 56
42 18 8 45 15 21 51 ? 8
14 9 17
1. 21
2. 18
3. 19
4. 17
Solution:
To determine the pattern in the given sequence, let's analyze the numbers:
48 63 56
42 18 8 45 15 21 51 ? 8
14 9 17
Observing the pattern, we can see the following:
The numbers in the first row decrease by 7 and then increase by 7.
The numbers in the second row follow a pattern where each number is multiplied by 3 and then divided by 7, alternating between two sets of numbers.
The numbers in the third row are the result of subtracting the corresponding numbers in the first row from the corresponding numbers in the second row.
Applying the pattern, we can find the missing number:
42 - 48 = -6
18 - 63 = -45
8 - 56 = -48
45 - 42 = 3
15 - 18 = -3
21 - 8 = 13
51 - 45 = 6
?
8 - 15 = -7
Calculating the missing number:
21 - 7 = 14
Therefore, the number that can replace the question mark (?) is 21.
Answer: 1. 21
Q.14 Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
TSF, RPJ, PMN, NJR, ?
1. JFV
2. KGU
3. LGN
4. LGV
Solution:
To determine the pattern in the given series, let's analyze the letters:
TSF, RPJ, PMN, NJR, ?
Observing the pattern, we can see the following:
The first letter in each term moves three positions forward in the English alphabetical order.
The second letter in each term moves one position backward in the English alphabetical order.
The third letter in each term moves one position forward in the English alphabetical order.
Applying the pattern, we can find the missing letter-cluster:
NJR -> KIQ -> LGV
Therefore, the letter-cluster that can replace the question mark (?) is LGV.
Answer: 4. LGV
Q.15 In a certain code language, ‘CROWD’ is coded as 23415924 and ‘TRHICK’ is coded as 162491997. How will ‘FRUGAL’ be coded in that language?
1. 1226761821
2. 1521012291
3. 1512021921
4. 1221021186
Solution:
To determine the code for the given word in the given code language, let's analyze the codes for 'CROWD' and 'TRHICK':
'CROWD' is coded as 23415924
'TRHICK' is coded as 162491997
Comparing the letters and their corresponding positions in the English alphabetical order, we can see the following:
'C' is the 3rd letter, so it is represented by '2' in the code.
'R' is the 18th letter, so it is represented by '3' in the code.
'O' is the 15th letter, so it is represented by '4' in the code.
'W' is the 23rd letter, so it is represented by '1' in the code.
'D' is the 4th letter, so it is represented by '5' in the code.
Similarly, applying the same pattern to 'TRHICK', we can find the code for 'FRUGAL':
'F' is the 6th letter, so it is represented by '1' in the code.
'R' is the 18th letter, so it is represented by '5' in the code.
'U' is the 21st letter, so it is represented by '1' in the code.
'G' is the 7th letter, so it is represented by '2' in the code.
'A' is the 1st letter, so it is represented by '0' in the code.
'L' is the 12th letter, so it is represented by '1' in the code.
Therefore, the code for 'FRUGAL' in the given code language is 1512021921.
Answer: 3. 1512021921

Three of these letter-clusters (SPK, JGT, and PMN) have a common pattern where the first and third letters are consecutive in the English alphabetical order, while the second letter is two positions ahead of the first letter.
However, the letter-cluster GTQ does not follow this pattern. Therefore, it is the letter-cluster that is different from the others.
Answer: 4. GTQ

Q.25 Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
5, 18, 70, 278, ?
1. 328
2. 298
3. 1110
4. 592
Solution:
To determine the pattern in the given series, let's analyze the differences between consecutive terms:
18 - 5 = 13
70 - 18 = 52
278 - 70 = 208
From the given differences, we can see that the differences themselves form a series:
13, 52, 208
Each term in the difference series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 4:
13 * 4 = 52
52 * 4 = 208
Using this pattern, we can find the next term in the difference series:
208 * 4 = 832
Now, let's add this value to the last term of the given series:
278 + 832 = 1110
Therefore, the missing number in the series is 1110.
Answer: 3. 1110
