  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that is related to the fifth letter - cluster in the same way as the second letter - cluster is related to the first letter - cluster and the fourth letter - cluster is related to the third letter - cluster.

    HELLO ∶ IGPTE ∶∶ WORLD ∶ XQVTT ∶∶ SALAM ∶ ?

    Solutions

    Let's solve this carefully step by step.

    The problem involves letter clusters. We are given:

    HELLO IGPTE WORLD XQVTT SALAM ?

    and options:

    TDPIC
    TCPIC
    SCPIC
    TCPIT

    We are told:

    Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first, and the fourth is related to the third.

    Step 1: Look for patterns between clusters

    We pair the clusters as follows:

    1. HELLO → IGPTE
    2. WORLD → XQVTT
    3. SALAM → ?

    So, the pattern seems to be second = function(first) and fourth = function(third), then apply the same function to SALAM.

    Step 2: Analyze HELLO → IGPTE

    We can compare letters position by position:

    Check transformations:

    • H → I (+1)
    • E → G (+2)
    • L → P (+4)
    • L → T (+8)
    • O → E (-10 or +16)

    It looks like letter shifts with increasing steps: 1,2,4,8,...

    Step 3: Analyze WORLD → XQVTT

    Shifts:

    • W → X (+1)
    • O → Q (+2)
    • R → V (+4)
    • L → T (+8)
    • D → T (+16 or -10)

    This confirms the same incremental shift pattern.

    Step 4: Apply pattern to SALAM

    Use shifts: +1, +2, +4, +8, +16

    1. S → T (+1)
    2. A → C (+2)
    3. L → P (+4)
    4. A → I (+8)
    5. M → C (+16, wrap around alphabet)

    ✅ That gives: TCPIC

    ✅ Step 5: Answer

    The option that matches the pattern is:

    Correct Answer: TCPIC

  • Question 2/10

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

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option figure in which the given figure is embedded. (Rotation is NOT allowed.)

    Solutions

    The image embedded in given figure is as shown below:

    Hence, 'option 1' is the correct answer.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

    100, 95, 106, 87, 116, 75, 130, ?

    Solutions

    Let's solve this carefully step by step.

    We are given the series:

    100, 95, 106, 87, 116, 75, 130, ?

    We need to find the pattern.

    Step 1: Look at differences between consecutive terms

    Compute the differences:

    1. 95 − 100 = −5
    2. 106 − 95 = +11
    3. 87 − 106 = −19
    4. 116 − 87 = +29
    5. 75 − 116 = −41
    6. 130 − 75 = +55

    Sequence of differences:

    −5, +11, −19, +29, −41, +55, ?

    Step 2: Look for a pattern in the differences

    Take the absolute values:

    5, 11, 19, 29, 41, 55

    Now check the differences between these:

    • 11 − 5 = 6
    • 19 − 11 = 8
    • 29 − 19 = 10
    • 41 − 29 = 12
    • 55 − 41 = 14

    ✅ This is an increasing sequence of even numbers: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14

    So the next difference should be +16.

    Step 3: Determine the next term

    The last difference was +55 (from 75 → 130). The next difference should be −(next odd/even sign alternation).

    Notice the signs alternate:

    −, +, −, +, −, +

    The next sign should be .

    So next difference = −71? Let's check:

    Wait, absolute differences increase as:

    5, 11, 19, 29, 41, 55, ?

    We see the increase pattern: 6,8,10,12,14 → next = 16

    So next absolute difference = 55 + 16 = 71

    Sign alternates: previous difference +55 → next = −71

    Step 4: Calculate the next term

    Last term = 130

    Next term = 130 − 71 = 59

    ✅ Step 5: Answer

    The number that replaces ? is:

    59

    Correct Answer: 59

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, ever if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

    statements:

    some pens are books.

    All books are compasses.

    Some compasses are pins.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some compasses are pens.

    II. All compasses are pens.

    III. Some pins are books.

    IV. Some compasses are books.

    Solutions

    Solving Syllogism Statements and Conclusions

    This problem requires us to analyse the given statements and determine which of the provided conclusions logically follow. We will examine each statement and then evaluate each conclusion based on the information provided in the statements.

    Given Statements

    • Some pens are books.
    • All books are compasses.
    • Some compasses are pins.

    Given Conclusions

    • I. Some compasses are pens.
    • II. All compasses are pens.
    • III. Some pins are books.
    • IV. Some compasses are books.

    Analysing the Statements

    Let's represent the categories:

    • Pens (P)
    • Books (B)
    • Compasses (C)
    • Pins (Pi)

    The statements can be interpreted as relationships between these categories:

    • Statement 1: Some pens are books (Some P are B). This means there is an overlap between the set of pens and the set of books. There is at least one item that belongs to both categories.
    • Statement 2: All books are compasses (All B are C). This means the entire set of books is contained within the set of compasses. Every book is also a compass.
    • Statement 3: Some compasses are pins (Some C are Pi). This means there is an overlap between the set of compasses and the set of pins. There is at least one item that belongs to both categories.

    Evaluating Each Conclusion

    Now, let's evaluate each conclusion based on the information from the statements:

    Conclusion I: Some compasses are pens (Some C are P).

    Let's consider Statements 1 and 2:

    • Some pens are books (Some P are B).
    • All books are compasses (All B are C).

    Since some pens are books, there's a group of items that are both pens and books. According to the second statement, all books are compasses. Therefore, the group of items that are both pens and books must also be compasses. This means there are some pens that are compasses. If some pens are compasses, it logically follows that some compasses are pens.

    Conclusion I logically follows from the statements.

    Conclusion II: All compasses are pens (All C are P).

    From Conclusion I, we know that some compasses are pens. However, this does not mean that all compasses are pens. Statement 2 says "All books are compasses", but it doesn't say that *only* books are compasses. Compasses could include items that are not books (and therefore not necessarily pens). There is no information given that restricts the set of compasses solely to pens or to things that are also pens.

    Conclusion II does not logically follow from the statements.

    Conclusion III: Some pins are books (Some Pi are B).

    Let's consider Statements 2 and 3:

    • All books are compasses (All B are C).
    • Some compasses are pins (Some C are Pi).

    We know that all books are compasses, and some compasses are pins. However, the compasses that are pins might be precisely the ones that are *not* books. The statements do not guarantee any overlap between the set of pins and the set of books. There is no direct link established between books and pins.

    Conclusion III does not logically follow from the statements.

    Conclusion IV: Some compasses are books (Some C are B).

    Consider Statement 2:

    • All books are compasses (All B are C).

    If all books are compasses, it means that the set of books is entirely contained within the set of compasses. Assuming there is at least one book (which is a standard assumption in these types of problems unless stated otherwise), then that book must also be a compass. If there is at least one item that is a book and also a compass, then it must be true that some compasses are books (specifically, the compasses that are also books).

    Conclusion IV logically follows from the statements.

    Summary of Conclusions

    Based on our analysis:

    • Conclusion I (Some compasses are pens) follows.
    • Conclusion II (All compasses are pens) does not follow.
    • Conclusion III (Some pins are books) does not follow.
    • Conclusion IV (Some compasses are books) follows.

    Therefore, only conclusions I and IV logically follow from the given statements.

    Conclusion Logically Follows? Reasoning Based on Statements
    I. Some compasses are pens. Yes From "Some pens are books" and "All books are compasses", we deduce Some pens are compasses, implying Some compasses are pens.
    II. All compasses are pens. No Knowing Some compasses are pens doesn't mean ALL compasses are pens. There could be compasses that are not pens.
    III. Some pins are books. No From "All books are compasses" and "Some compasses are pins", there's no guaranteed overlap between books and pins.
    IV. Some compasses are books. Yes If "All books are compasses", then the set of books is part of the compasses. Thus, Some compasses must be books.

    Revision Table: Basic Syllogism Inferences

    Here are a couple of basic inference rules used in syllogism problems:

    Also, combining statements often follows rules, such as:

    Note: Many combinations of statements yield no valid direct conclusion between the extreme terms (A and C).

    Additional Information on Syllogism Logic

    Syllogism problems are a key part of logical reasoning tests. They assess your ability to draw valid conclusions strictly from given premises, regardless of whether those premises align with real-world facts. The structure typically involves two or three statements (premises) and a set of conclusions.

    To solve these problems effectively, you must:

    • Understand the meaning of quantifiers like "All", "Some", and "No".
    • Trace the relationship between different categories across the statements.
    • Avoid bringing outside knowledge into the problem. Only the information in the statements is true for the purpose of the exercise.

    Using techniques like Venn diagrams or understanding the distribution of terms can help visualise the relationships and verify the validity of conclusions, especially in more complex cases.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    In a certain code language, if 'FILM' is written as '9121516' and 'EAST' is written as '842223', how will 'HOME' be written in the same code language?

    Solutions

    Let's solve this carefully step by step.

    We are given:

    FILM → 9121516

    EAST → 842223

    We need to encode HOME.

    Step 1: Check the letters and their positions

    Let's assign alphabetical positions:

    Letter Position
    A 1
    B 2
    C 3
    D 4
    E 5
    F 6
    G 7
    H 8
    I 9
    L 12
    M 13
    S 19
    T 20

    Step 2: Analyze 'FILM → 9121516'

    • F → 6 → 9?
    • I → 9 → 12?
    • L → 12 → 15?
    • M → 13 → 16?

    Notice the pattern: add 3 to the alphabetical position:

    • F(6) + 3 → 9 ✅
    • I(9) + 3 → 12 ✅
    • L(12) + 3 → 15 ✅
    • M(13) + 3 → 16 ✅

    Concatenate numbers: 9 12 15 16 → 9121516

    Step 3: Check 'EAST → 842223'

    • E(5) + 3 = 8 ✅
    • A(1) + 3 = 4 ✅
    • S(19) + 3 = 22 ✅
    • T(20) + 3 = 23 ✅

    Concatenate → 8 4 22 23 → 842223

    Pattern is consistent: Letter → alphabetical position + 3 → concatenate.

    Step 4: Encode 'HOME'

    • H = 8 → 8 + 3 = 11
    • O = 15 → 15 + 3 = 18
    • M = 13 → 13 + 3 = 16
    • E = 5 → 5 + 3 = 8

    Concatenate → 11 18 16 81118168

    ✅ Step 5: Answer

    HOME → 1118168

    Correct Answer: 1118168

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.

    (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must NOT be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)

    Ophthalmology : Eyes :: Dermatology : ?

    Solutions

    Understanding the Medical Specialty Analogy

    The question asks us to find the relationship between the first two words, 'Ophthalmology' and 'Eyes', and then apply that same relationship to the third word, 'Dermatology', to find the fourth word among the given options. This type of question tests our knowledge of vocabulary, specifically terms related to medical fields.

    Analysing the Relationship: Ophthalmology and Eyes

    Let's break down the relationship between Ophthalmology and Eyes:

    • Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine.
    • It deals specifically with the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eyes.
    • Therefore, Ophthalmology is the medical specialty that studies and treats conditions related to the Eyes.

    The relationship is: Medical Specialty : Organ/Body Part Studied/Treated.

    Applying the Analogy: Dermatology and ?

    Now we need to apply this same relationship to 'Dermatology'.

    • Dermatology is also a branch of medicine.
    • Following the pattern, Dermatology must be the medical specialty that studies and treats a specific organ or body part.
    • We need to determine which organ or body part Dermatology is related to, based on the provided options.

    Evaluating the Options based on Medical Specialties

    Let's look at the options and see which one is studied or treated by Dermatology:

    • Option 1: Nerves - The medical specialty that studies the nervous system, including nerves, is Neurology.
    • Option 2: Skin - The medical specialty that studies the skin, hair, nails, and related diseases is Dermatology.
    • Option 3: Bones - The medical specialty that studies bones and the musculoskeletal system is Orthopedics or Orthopaedic Surgery.
    • Option 4: Brain - The medical specialty that studies the brain and nervous system is Neurology, and surgical procedures on the brain are part of Neurosurgery.

    Based on this evaluation, Dermatology is the medical field related to the Skin.

    Determining the Correct Answer

    The analogy is Ophthalmology : Eyes :: Dermatology : ?. Since Ophthalmology is the study of Eyes, Dermatology is the study of Skin.

    Therefore, the word that completes the analogy is Skin.

    Summary of the Analogy

    Here is a table summarizing the relationships:

    The correct option is the one that lists 'Skin'.

    Revision Table: Key Medical Specialties

    Here is a quick revision table of some common medical specialties and the body parts they focus on:

    Additional Information on Medical Terminology

    Understanding prefixes and suffixes can often help in deciphering medical terms. For example:

    • 'Ophthalmo-' relates to the eye.
    • 'Derma-' or 'Dermato-' relates to the skin.
    • '-ology' is a suffix meaning 'the study of' or 'a branch of knowledge'.

    So, Ophthalmology is the study of the eye, and Dermatology is the study of the skin. This confirms our understanding of the analogy and helps build vocabulary related to various medical fields.

    Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Write the following words according to the order that appears in the dictionary.

    1. Vaccillating

    2. Vacationing

    3. Vaccination

    4. Vacuumising

    5. Vacillatory

    Solutions

    Arranging Words in Dictionary Order

    This solution explains how to determine the correct alphabetical (dictionary) order for a given list of words. We will compare the words letter by letter to establish the correct sequence.

    Understanding Alphabetical Sorting

    Alphabetical order, or dictionary order, means arranging words based on the sequence of letters in the alphabet (A, B, C, ... Z). When comparing two words:

    • Start by comparing the first letter of each word. The word with the letter that comes earlier in the alphabet comes first.
    • If the first letters are the same, move to the second letter and compare those.
    • Continue this process until you find a letter that differs or reach the end of one word. The shorter word comes first if all preceding letters are identical (e.g., "apple" before "apples").

    Comparing the Given Words

    Let's list the words and their original numbers:

    Step-by-Step Word Comparison

    1. First Letter Comparison: All words start with 'V'.
    2. Second Letter Comparison: All words have 'a' as the second letter.
    3. Third Letter Comparison: All words have 'c' as the third letter. The common prefix is 'Vac'.
    4. Fourth Letter Comparison: Now we compare the fourth letters:
      • 2. Vacationing ('a')
      • 1. Vaccillating ('c')
      • 3. Vaccination ('c')
      • 5. Vacillatory ('i')
      • 4. Vacuumising ('u')
      Based on the alphabet, 'a' comes first, followed by 'c', then 'i', and finally 'u'. This means 'Vacationing' (2) is the first word in the sequence.
    5. Comparing Words with 'c' (4th letter): We need to order 'Vaccillating' (1) and 'Vaccination' (3).
      • Both start with 'Vacci'.
      • Compare the 6th letter:
      • 1. Vaccillating ('l')
      • 3. Vaccination ('n')
      • Since 'l' comes before 'n' in the alphabet, 'Vaccillating' (1) comes before 'Vaccination' (3).
    6. Next Word: Based on the fourth letter comparison ('i'), 'Vacillatory' (5) comes after the 'Vacci' words.
    7. Final Word: Based on the fourth letter comparison ('u'), 'Vacuumising' (4) is the last word.

    Final Dictionary Order

    Following the comparison steps, the correct dictionary order of the words is:

    1. Vacationing (2)
    2. Vaccillating (1)
    3. Vaccination (3)
    4. Vacillatory (5)
    5. Vacuumising (4)

    This corresponds to the numerical sequence 21354.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term.

    29 ∶ 111 ∶∶ 72 ∶ ? ∶∶ 36 ∶ 139

    Solutions

    Let's carefully analyze this step by step.

    We are given the sequence:

    29, 111, 72, ?, 36, 139

    We are asked:

    Select the number that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first, and the sixth term is related to the fifth.

    So, there is a pattern of “relation between two numbers”.

    Step 1: Analyze the first pair: 29 → 111

    • Check difference: 111 − 29 = 82 ✅
    • Check ratio: 111 ÷ 29 ≈ 3.827 — doesn’t seem simple.

    Maybe a digit operation?

    • 29 → 111
      • 2 × 9 × ? or 2 + 9 = 11? Hmm
      • Another approach: 29 × 4 − 5 = 111
        • 29 × 4 = 116, 116 − 5 = 111 ✅ possible
    • Keep this in mind.

    Step 2: Analyze the second pair: 36 → 139

    • 36 × 4 = 144, 144 − 5 = 139 ✅

    ✅ Seems consistent with “number ×4 − 5”.

    Step 3: Apply same logic to the missing number

    We are asked for ?, which is related to 72 in the same way as 29 → 111:

    • Apply “×4 − 5”:
      • 72 × 4 = 288
      • 288 − 5 = 283 ✅

    ✅ Step 4: Answer

    The missing number is:

    283

    Correct Answer: 283
