If in a code PUNCTUAL can be written as 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 7, 11, 12, how can ACTUAL be written in that code?

  1. 11, 9, 10, 7, 11, 12

  2. 9, 11, 10, 7, 11, 12

  3. 11, 9, 10, 7, 12, 11

  4. 11, 10, 9, 7, 11, 12

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The code of PUNCTUAL is based on

P = 6, U = 7, N = 8, C = 9, T = 10, A = 11, L = 12

Similarly, ACTUAL = 11, 9, 10, 7, 11, 12, so it is the correct answer.

If 534 + 781 = 28, 932 + 455 = 28, then what is the value of 721 + 422?

  1. 17

  2. 18

  3. 28

  4. 19

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is observable that

534 + 781 = 5 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 1 = 28 and

932 + 455 = 9 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 28

Similarly, 721 + 422 = 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 18, so it is a correct answer.

If 8 + 5 = 31 and 12 + 5 = 71, what is the value of 11 + 9?

  1. 20

  2. 2

  3. 99

  4. 19

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This question is based on the pattern of

8 + 5 = 13 => 31 and 12 + 5 = 17 => 71

Similarly, 11 + 9 = 20 => 02 = 2, so it is the correct answer.

Directions: Arrange the words given below in a meaningful sequence.

  1. Grow
  2. Eat
  3. Prepare
  4. Soil
  5. Vegetables
  1. 4, 3, 1, 5, 2

  2. 1, 4, 3, 5, 2

  3. 3, 4, 1, 5, 2

  4. 4, 3, 1, 2, 5

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

First of all prepare soil, grow vegetables and finally eat them, therefore the correct sequence is

  1. Soil => 3. Prepare => 1. Grow => 5. Vegetables => 2. Eat, so it is a correct answer.

Directions: Select the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.

SUPERVISOR

  1. ROSE

  2. PERSON

  3. SUPER

  4. PROSE

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since letter N is not found in the word SUPERVISOR, so it can not be formed , therefore it is a correct answer.

Directions: Select the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.

TREMENDOUS

  1. TENSE

  2. STORE

  3. STRESS

  4. MENTORS

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since word STRESS has letter S twice in it but in the given word TREMENDOUS there is a single S, so it can not be formed; therefore it is the correct answer.

Directions: Select the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.

EXAMINATION

  1. TAXI

  2. TOXIC

  3. NATION

  4. MASON

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since the letter C is not found in the word EXAMINATION, so it can not be formed; therefore it is the correct answer.

Directions: Find the odd one out.

33, 83, 108, 148, 181, 231

  1. 83

  2. 181

  3. 231

  4. 148

  5. 108


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Since the pattern of this series is +50, +25, +50, +25 and so on, that means

33 + 50 = 83, 83 + 25 = 108, and so on.

148 = 108 + 40, so it does not follow the given pattern and it should be 108 + 50 = 158, therefore it is odd from all four numbers.

Directions: Complete the following analogies:

33 : 44 :: 43 : ?

  1. 53

  2. 55

  3. 54

  4. 56

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since 33 : 33 + 11 : : 43 : 43 + 11, so ? = 43 + 11, ? = 54, therefore it is the correct answer.

 

Directions: Find the odd one out.

11, 13, 17, 24, 32, 37, 47

  1. 24

  2. 32

  3. 17

  4. 13

  5. 37


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since this series is moving with the addition of sum of digits of previous term with the next term, that means

13 = 11 + (1 + 1), 17 = 13 + (1 + 3), 25 = 17 + (1 + 7) and so on.

24 is 1 less than the original number, so it does not follow the given pattern, therefore it is odd from all four numbers.

Directions: Complete the following analogies:

16 : 7 :: 18 : ?

  1. 7

  2. 6

  3. 10

  4. 8

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Since the pattern of this analogy is 16 : 16/2 - 1 : : 18 : 18/2 -1, 16 : 7 : : 18 : 9, So, ? = 9, therefore it is a correct answer.

 

Directions: Complete the following analogies:

6 : 5 :: 15 : ?

  1. 9

  2. 8

  3. 7

  4. 10

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since second term of the analogy is the sum of prime factors of the first term, that means5 = (2 + 3) (2 and 3 are the prime factors of 6). Similarly 8 = (3 + 5) ( 3 and 5 are the prime factors of 15), so it is a correct answer.

If 2 x 3 x 4 = 60 and 7 x 5 x 6 = 336, then find the value of 4 x 5 x 3.

  1. 120

  2. 24

  3. 210

  4. 6

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since the pattern is, 2 x 3 x 4 => (2 + 1) x (3 + 1) x (4 + 1) = 60, And 7 x 5 x 6 => (7 + 1) x (5 + 1) x (6 + 1) = 336, So 4 x 5 x 3 => (4 + 1) x (5 + 1) x (3 + 1) = 120, so it is a correct answer.

Directions: Arrange the words given below in a meaningful sequence:

  1. Adult
  2. Foetus
  3. Adolescent
  4. Child
  5. Infant
  1. 2, 5, 4, 3, 1

  2. 1, 5, 4, 3, 2

  3. 5, 2, 4, 3, 1

  4. 2, 5, 4, 1, 3

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

First of all, a child will be born, become a student, become young and finally become an employee. That means

  1. Foetus => 5. Infant => 4. Child => 3. Adolescent => 1. Adult

So, the correct sequence is 2, 5, 4, 3, 1.

Directions: Find the odd one out.

7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 22

  1. 12

  2. 14

  3. 18

  4. 19

  5. 22


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since this number series is moving on the pattern of +2, +3, +2, +3 and so on, that means

7 + 2 = 9, 9 + 3 = 12, 12 + 2 = 14 and so on.

But 18 = 14 + 4, so it does not follow the given pattern, it should be 14 + 3 = 17; therefore it is odd.
