Which figure from the given options would replace the question mark (?) if the following figure series were to be continued?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
From figure 1 to 2, and figure 3 to 4:
All 3 horizontal symbols are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Top-middle and bottom-middle symbols are interchanging their position.
From figure 2 to 3, and figure 4 to 5:
All 4 surface symbols are shifting their position in clockwise direction.
Middle symbols are replaced by a new symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. 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 camels are donkeys.
Some donkeys are cows.
Conclusions:
I. Some cows are camels.
II. Some donkeys are camels.
Only conclusion I follows
Both conclusions I and II follow
Only conclusion II follows
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Correct answer
Only conclusion II follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
Some camels are donkeys.
Some donkeys are cows.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. Some cows are camels. - False (because there is no direct relation between cows and camels. So, it can be possible but not definite)
II. Some donkeys are camels. - True (because Some camels are donkeys. So, Some donkeys are camels too)
Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusions II follow".

Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
White portion is increasing by 1 in dark figure.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Six numbers, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, are written on the different faces of a dice. Two positions of this dice are shown in the given figure. Find the number on the face opposite to 5
10
6
7
9
Correct answer
10
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of '5', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
From both dices, 10 is common. So, we can rotate in clockwise direction.
7 is opposite to 8.
6 is opposite to 9.
So, 5 will be opposite to 10.
Hence, the correct answer is "10".
Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The correct mirror image of the given figure:
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Six letters A, B, C, P, Q and R are written on different faces of a dice. Two positions of this dice are shown in the figure. Find the letter on the face opposite to A.
B
C
P
R
Correct answer
B
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of 'A', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
From both dices, Q is common and on the same surface. So, all remaining surface will be opposite to each other.
P is opposite to Q.
R is opposite to C.
So, B will be opposite to A.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
Which figure should come in place of the question mark (?) to continue the following series?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
The corner elements of 1st row interchange positions.
The rest of the elements shift clockwise subsequently.
2) Second box series →
The 1st column element and the center element shift clockwise subsequently.
The rest of the elements shift anticlockwise subsequently.
Thus, the final series is:
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
Select the correct image formed in the mirror when the mirror is placed on PQ as shown below.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The correct mirror image of the given figure is:
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
How many triangles are there in the given figure?
12
14
10
8
Correct answer
14
Why this answer is correct
The number of triangles in the given figure is shown below:
1) Number of triangles = [Number of parts × (1 + Number of parts)] ÷ 2
= [2 × (1 + 2)] ÷ 2
= [2 × 3] ÷ 2
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
As there are 4 same types of triangles, therefore total number of triangles will be (3 × 4) = 12
Thus, there are a total of (12 + 2) = 14 triangles.
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
Six letters M, E, K, T, X and B are written on different faces of a dice. Two positions of this dice are shown in the figure. Find the letter on the face opposite to E.
X
T
K
M
Correct answer
T
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is :-
From the given two different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :
As M is common on both the dices, it is clear that E, K, T, and X are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. B will be opposite to it.
Opposite pairs:
E → T
K → X
M → B
So, the opposite side of "E" will be side "T".
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

PKCTD
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
'VALUE' is written as 'GWNCX'
And,
'PLANT' is written as 'VPCNR'
Similarly,
'BRAIN' be written as
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
Select the option which is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words should be treated as meaningful words in English/Hindi and should not be related to each other on the basis of number of letters/consonants/vowels.)
Library : Catalog :: Restaurant : ?
Booklet
Menu
Index
Recipe book
Correct answer
Menu
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Reference tools used in specific places.
Here,
Library : Catalog → Catalog is a reference tool used in a Library.
Similarly,
Restaurant : Menu → Menu is a reference tool used in a Restaurant.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Select the set in which the given numbers are related to each other in the same way as the numbers in the given set in the question are related to each other. (
Note:
Mathematical operations should be performed on whole numbers only, without dividing the number into its component digits. Like 13 - Suppose mathematical operations on 13 like adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. can be done on 13. Breaking into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(6, 9, 2) (12, 36, 2)
(12, 6, 4)
(14, 7, 7)
(18, 9, 6)
(10, 8, 5)
Correct answer
(18, 9, 6)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number ÷ 3rd number)2 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 6 : 9 : 2
⇒ (6 ÷ 2)2 = 32 = 9.
For, 12 : 36 : 2
⇒ (12 ÷ 2)2 = 62 = 36.
Similarly, for 18 : 9 : 6
⇒ (18 ÷ 6)2 = 32 = 9.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
Which number should be used in place of the question mark (?) if the series is to be continued?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
The first column element and the bottom element element interchange positions.
The rest of the elements shift anticlockwise subsequently.
2) Second box series →
The 2nd row elements shift clockwise subsequently.
The 1st element of 3rd column is replaced by new element.
The rest of the elements interchange positions.
Thus, the final series is:
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
