1
Correct answer
1
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of '3', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
From both dices, 5 is common so we can rotate in clockwise direction.
4 → 2
1 → 3
5 → 6
So, 1 will be opposite to 3.
Hence, the correct answer is "1".
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following 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:
Top-2 and middle-right symbols are shifting their position in a clockwise direction.
Middle-left and middle symbols are interchanging their position.
From figure 2 to 3, and figure 4 to 5:
Top-2 and middle symbols are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
Middle-left and middle-right symbols are interchanging their position.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
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.
4 : 12 :: 8 : ? :: 10 : 24
22
16
24
20
Correct answer
20
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number × 2) + 4 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 4 : 12
⇒ (4 × 2) + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12.
For, 10 : 24
⇒ (10 × 2) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24.
Similarly, for 8 ∶ ?
⇒ (8 × 2) + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the option in which given figure is embedded. (Rotation is not allowed.)
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
1736*45
×, –, =
÷, –,=
–, =, ÷
×, ÷, =
Correct answer
×, –, =
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 1736*45
Option 1) ×, –, =
Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 17 × 3 - 6 = 45
⇒ 51 - 6 = 45
⇒ 45 = 45
Option 2) ÷, –,=
Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 17 ÷ 3 - 6 = 45
⇒ 5.7 - 6 = 45
⇒ -0.3 ≠ 45
Option 3) –, =, ÷
Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 17 - 3 = 6 ÷ 45
⇒ 14 ≠ 0.14
Option 4) ×, ÷, =
Mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs then:
⇒ 17 × 3 ÷ 6 = 45
⇒ 17 × 0.5 = 45
⇒ 8.5 ≠ 45
Hence, the correct answer is "×, –, =".
J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
Only two people sit between J and O. Only one person sits between O and N. Only two people sit between N and M. K sits to the immediate right of N. Who is sitting to the immediate left of L?
M
O
N
K
Correct answer
M
Why this answer is correct
Given: J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
K sits to the immediate right of N.
Only two people sit between N and M.
Only two people sit between J and O.
Only one person sits between O and N.
Thus, final arrangement:
So, M is sitting to the immediate left of L.
Hence, the correct answer is "M".
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following 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:
Top-left and bottom-left symbols are interchanging their position.
Top-right, middle, and bottom-right symbols are shifting their position in an anticlockwise direction.
From figure 2 to 3, and figure 4 to 5:
All 4 corner symbols are shifting their position in clockwise direction.
Middle symbols are replaced by a new symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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 from commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
Some Fans are Round.
Some Round are Circles.
Conclusions:
I. All Fans are Circles.
II. All Circles are Round.
Only conclusion I follows.
Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Both conclusions I and II follow.
Only conclusion II follows.
Correct answer
Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
Some Fans are Round.
Some Round are Circles.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. All Fans are Circles. - False (because there is no direct relation given between Fans and Circles. So, it can be possible but not definite)
II. All Circles are Round. - False (because there is no direct relation given between Round and Circles. So, it can be possible but not definite)
Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion I nor II follows".
Select the figure from the options that can replace the question mark (?) and complete the given pattern.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The figures will complete the pattern:
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Select the option figure that is embedded in the given figure. (Rotation is not allowed).
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The option figure in which the given figure (X) is embedded:
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(192, 12, 10),(195, 15, 7)
(
NOTE:
Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)
(208, 13, 16)
(189, 9, 15)
(228, 12, 13)
(128, 8, 10)
Correct answer
(208, 13, 16)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number ÷ 2nd number) - 6 = 3rd number.
Now,
For, 192 : 12 : 10
⇒ (192 ÷ 12) - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10.
For, 195 : 15 : 7
⇒ (195 ÷ 15) - 6 = 13 - 6 = 7.
Similarly, for 208 : 13 : 16
⇒ (208 ÷ 13) - 6 = 16 - 6 ≠ 10
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Mistake Points The question is asking about not Similar, so mark that option which is not similar to given set.
Which of the following option figures will complete the pattern in the figure given below?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct

If ‘A’ denotes ‘+’, ‘B’ denotes ‘×’, ‘C’ denotes ‘−’ and ‘D’ denotes ‘÷’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
(35 A 7 B 2) D 7 C (14 D 2 C 6) A 6 = ?
0
15
12
1
Correct answer
12
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: (35 A 7 B 2) D 7 C (14 D 2 C 6) A 6 = ?
| Letter | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signs | + | × | - | ÷ |
After replacing letters with signs then:
⇒ (35 + 7 × 2) ÷ 7 - (14 ÷ 2 - 6) + 6 = ?
⇒ (35 + 14) ÷ 7 - (7 - 6) + 6 = ?
⇒ 49 ÷ 7 - 1 + 6 = ?
⇒ 7 - 1 + 6 = ?
⇒ ? = 13 - 1 = 12
Hence, the correct answer is "12".
Six letters, M, N, O, P, Q and R are written on different faces of a dice. Three positions of this dice are shown here. Find the letter on the face opposite M.
R
N
O
Q
Correct answer
O
Why this answer is correct
To find the opposite surface of 'M', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 2 and Dice 3,
From both dices, M is common so we can rotate in clockwise rotation.
Q → N
R → P
So, O will be opposite to M.
Hence, the correct answer is "O".

53215
41205
Correct answer
63227
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
‘BABY’ is written as ‘43427’
‘CREW’ is written as ‘520725’
Similarly, ‘DATE’ will be written as:
Hence, the correct answer is "63227".
