160
172
176
Correct answer
176
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: 1st number × 4 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 23 : 92
⇒ 23 × 4 = 92
For, 32 : 128
⇒ 32 × 4 = 128
Similarly, for 44 : ?
⇒ 44 × 4 = 174.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

24
26
28
22
Correct answer
28
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is: Number of letters in the word × 4 = Code.
‘HAND’ is written as ‘16’ → 4 × 4 = 16
‘ENTRY’ is written as ‘20’ → 5 × 4 = 20
Similarly, ‘AIRPORT’ will be written as: → 7 × 4 = 28

Which figure should replace the question mark (?) in the following series to continue the pattern?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
From figure 1 to 2 and figure 3 to 4:
Bottom-left, bottom-right and top-right element are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Middle-right and middle element are interchanging their position.
From figure 2 to 3 and figure 4 to 5:
Bottom-left and middle element are interchanging their position.
Top-right, middle-right and bottom-right element are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

A transparent sheet with a pattern appear when the transparent sheet is folded at the dotted line:
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) in the following series to continue the pattern?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
From figure 1 to 2 and figure 3 to 4:
Top-left, left-middle, top-middle and middle elements (all 4 elements) are interchanging their position in clockwise direction.
Top-right, bottom-right and bottom-middle element are interchanging their position with each other in an anticlockwise direction.
From figure 2 to 3 and figure 4 to 5:
Top-left, left-middle, and middle elements (all 3 elements) are interchanging their position in clockwise direction.
Top-right, top-middle, bottom-right, and bottom-middle element (all 4 elements) are interchanging their position with each other in a clockwise direction.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"
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:
Some balloons are cars.
Some cars are rockets.
Conclusions:
I. Some rockets are balloons.
II. All rockets are balloons.
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Both conclusions I and II follow
Correct answer
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
Some balloons are cars.
Some cars are rockets.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. Some rockets are balloons. - False (because there is no direct relation given between rockets and balloons. So, it can be possible but not definite)
II. All rockets are balloons. - False (because there is no direct relation given between rockets and balloons. So, it can be possible but not definite)
Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion I nor II follows".

A, B, C, D, E, F and G were sitting in a straight row, facing north. G was second to the left of A. Only C was to the right of F. A was exactly between B and D. E was to the immediate left of F. Who among the following was at the extreme left end of the row?
D
B
G
E
Correct answer
G
Why this answer is correct
Given: A, B, C, D, E, F and G were sitting in a straight row, facing north.
Only C was to the right of F.
E was to the immediate left of F.
G was second to the left of A.
A was exactly between B and D.
So, G was at the extreme left end of the row.
Hence, the correct answer is "G".
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(
NOTE:
Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
(16, 40, 5),(3, 27, 18)
(8, 29, 7)
(9, 27, 6)
(7, 26, 8)
(9, 35, 6)
Correct answer
(9, 27, 6)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is: (1st number × 3rd number) / 2 = 2nd number.
(16, 40, 5) → (16 × 5) / 2 = 80 / 2 = 40
(3, 27, 18) → (3 × 18) / 2 = 54 / 2 = 27
Let check option one by one:
1) (8, 29, 7) → (8 × 7) / 2 = 56 / 2 = 28 ≠ 29
2) (9, 27, 6) → (9 × 6) / 2 = 54 /2 = 27
3) (7, 26, 8) → (7 × 8) / 2 = 56 / 2 = 28 ≠ 26
4) (9, 35, 6) → (9 × 6) / 2 = 54 / 2 = 27 ≠ 35
Hence, the correct answer is "(9, 27, 6)".
