    1 / -0.33

    Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

    15, 16, 32, 35, 140, 145, ?

    Solutions

    Given:

    15, 16, 32, 35, 140, 145,?

    Logic: Consecutive odd numbers are added alternatively and multiply by consecutive even numbers alternatively.

    Here, '870' is the next number.

    Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.33

    Six different fruits oranges, apples, coconut, banana, litchi and mango are eaten for breakfast on six different days of the same week (starting on Monday and ending on Saturday) . The fruit Banana is eaten on Monday. Mango is eaten on the third day after banana. Only one fruit is eaten between Mango and Litchi. Coconut is eaten on the day just after the mango. Apple is eaten on the day immediately before Oranges. Which fruit is eaten on Wednesday?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Week days: i.e., starting on Monday and ending on Saturday.

    Number of fruits: 6

    Name: Oranges, Apples, Coconut, Banana, Litchi and Mango.

    Explanation:

    i) The fruit banana is eaten on Monday.

    ii) Mango is eaten on the third day after banana.

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

     

    Wednesday

     

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

     

    Saturday

     

     

    iii) Only one fruit is eaten between Mango and Litchi.

    Case 1: 

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

    Litchi

    Wednesday

     

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

     

    Saturday

     

    Case 2: 

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

     

    Wednesday

     

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

     

    Saturday

    Litchi

     iv) Coconut is eaten on the day just after the mango.​

    Case 1: 

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

    Litchi

    Wednesday

     

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

    Coconut

    Saturday

     

     

    Case 2: 

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

     

    Wednesday

     

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

    Coconut

    Saturday

    Litchi

     

    v) Apple is eaten on the day immediately before Oranges.

    Since Apple and oranges are eaten on consecutive days so this can be placed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    This eliminates Case1: 

    Monday

    Banana

    Tuesday

    Apple

    Wednesday

    Orange

    Thursday

    Mango

    Friday

    Coconut

    Saturday

    Litchi

    So orange is eaten on Wednesday.

    Hence, "Wednesday" is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.33

    In a certain code language, 'ABOUT’ is written as 'YZQSR' and 'PARTS' is written as 'NYTRQ'. How will 'PLANT' be written in that language?

    Solutions

    Alphabets & their positional values:

    The pattern followed here is:

    First, second, fourth & fifth alphabets are decreased by - 2.

    The third alphabet is increased by + 2.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.33

    If A denotes 'addition', B denotes 'multiplication', C denotes 'subtraction', and D denotes 'division', then what will be the value of the following equation?

    4 B 12 A 18 C (72 D 6) = ?

    Solutions

    Now, replacing the sign from left to right and using BODMAS rule, we get :

    New equation : 4 × 12 + 18 - (72 ÷ 6) = ?

    Calculation :

    ⇒ 4 × 12 + 18 - (72 ÷ 6) = ?

    ⇒ 4 × 12 + 18 - 12 = ?

    ⇒ 48 + 18 - 12 = ?

    ⇒ 66 - 12 = 54.

    Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.33

    Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. 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:

    Some Bangles are Bracelets.

    All chains are Rings.

    Some Bracelets are Chains.

    Conclusions:

    (I) Some Bangles are Rings.

    (II) Some Chains are Bangles.

    (III) Some Rings are Bracelets.

    Solutions

    The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

    Conclusions:

    I. Some Bangles are Rings → Does not Follow (As some bangles are bracelets, some bracelets are chains and all chains are rings. So, it is possible but not definitely true)

    II. Some Chains are Bangles → Does not Follow (As some bangles are bracelets, some bracelets are chains and all chains are rings. So, it is possible but not definitely true)

    III. Some Rings are Bracelets → Follow (As some bracelets are chains and all chains are rings. So, as whole chains comes in rings which some part comes in bracelets therefore it is definitely true)

    ∴ Here, Only Conclusion III follows​

    Hence, the correct answer is "Only Conclusion III follows"

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.33

    Paras and Shyam start walking from the same point. Paras walks 80 m north, then turns west and walks 60 m, then turns to his right and walks 40 m. Shyam walks 40 m west, then turns north and walks 120 m, then turns to his right and walks 90 m. Where is Shyam with respect to Paras now?

    Solutions

    The diagram below shows the path followed by Paras and Shyam:

    Here, 'O' is the starting point from where both Paras and Shyam have started walking and Paras reached at point 'M' and shyam reached at point 'K'.

    So, distance between Paras and Shyam = (90 + 20) = 110 m and Point 'K' is in East direction of point 'M'.

    Hence, "110m East" is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.33

    What day of the week was 25 May 1666?

    Solutions

    In an ordinary year, there are 365 days and on dividing 365 by 7,

    we get remainder = 1, so this extra one day is taken as an odd day.

    Similarly, in a leap year, there are 366 days and on dividing 366 by 7,

    we get remainder = 2, so these extra days are taken as the odd days.

    Thus, the remainder, which we get after dividing the number of days by 7 is considered as odd days.

    1666 = we find out the odd days (the nearest leap year + completing year) = 1600 + 65

    In 1600 years the odd days = 0

    In 65 years the odd days = 65/4 = 16 leap years and 49 normal years.

    In 16 leap years the odd days = 32, and 49 normal years = 49

    So total = 32 + 49 = 81 odd days i.e. 81/7 = 4 odd days (remainder)

    Odd days in May = 145 days i.e. 5 odd days.

    Total  = 4 + 5 = 9/7 = 2 odd days.

    Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6

    Tuesday of the week was 25 May 1666.

    Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.

    Key Points

    May 25, 1666 was the 145th day of the year 1666 in the Gregorian calendar. There were 220 days remaining until the end of the year. The day of the week was Tuesday.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.33

    In a certain coding language, 'mango is the king of fruit’ is written as '@ $ % & H E'; 'the king lives in the palace’ is written as '@ H U @ # !'; and 'Palace wise king' is written as 'G H #'. What is the code of 'the wise’ in that language?

    Solutions

    The given codes are:

    Mango is the king of fruit → @ $ % & H E.

    The king lives in the palace → @ H U @ # !

    Palace wise king → G H #

    The logic follows here is:

    Therefore, from the above codes, it is clear that the code for 'wise' is 'G' and the code for 'the' is '@'.

    Hence, the correct answer is G @.

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.33

    A paper is folded and cut as shown. How will it appear when unfolded ?

    Solutions

    The pattern followed here is:

    From the above figure, only option(3) shows the correct answer

    Hence, the correct answer is option(3)

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.33

    Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series.

    jtm _ r _ jt _ prs _ tmpr _ j _ mprs

    Solutions

    The logic followed here is:

    Given Sequence: jtm _ r _ jt _ prs _ tmpr _ j _ mprs

    Now, putting the letters in the blank spaces given in the option one by one:

    Option 1) psmjst → j t m p r s / j t m p r s / J t m p r s / j t m p r s.

    Here, 'Option 1' followed a pattern.

    Option 2) pssjst → j t m p r s / j t s p r s / J t m p r s / j t m p r s.

    Option 3) psmjts → j t m p r s / j t m p r s / J t m p r t / j s m p r s.

    Option 4) pmsjst → j t m p r m / j t s p r s / J t m p r s / j t m p r s.

    Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
