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)
(18, 28, 38)
(11,26, 41)
(17, 48, 53)
(13, 24, 37)
(9, 27, 43)
(18, 35, 52)
Correct answer
(18, 35, 52)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number + 3rd number) ÷ 2 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, (18, 28, 38)
⇒ (18 + 38) ÷ 2 = 56 ÷ 2 = 28.
For, (11,26, 41)
⇒ (11 + 41) ÷ 2 = 52 ÷ 2 = 26.
Similarly, for (18, 35, 52)
⇒ (18 + 52) ÷ 2 = 70 ÷ 2 = 35.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below.
(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.)
Hexagon : Septagon
Radius : Diameter
Triangle : Rectangle
Chord : Circle
Area : Square
Correct answer
Triangle : Rectangle
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Polygons with a specific number of sides.
Here,
Hexagon : Septagon → Hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides, and Septagon is a polygon with 7 sides.
Similarly,
Triangle : Rectangle → Triangle is a polygon with 3 sides, and Rectangle is a polygon with 4 sides.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

(10, 33, 3)
(13, 36, 3)
(12, 37, 4)
Correct answer
(10, 33, 3)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number × 3rd number) + 3 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 2, 9, 3
⇒ (2 × 3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9.
For, 5, 23, 4
⇒ (5 × 4) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23.
Similarly, for (10, 33, 3)
⇒ (10 × 3) + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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, Bottom-left and middle-surface elements are shifting in a clockwise direction.
Top-right, bottom-right and middle-surface element are shifting in a clockwise direction.
Middle 2 elements are interchanging their position.
From figure 2 to 3 and figure 4 to 5:
Top 2 corner symbols and middle 2 symbols are shifting in an anticlockwise direction.
Middle-surface 2 symbols and bottom 2 corner symbols are shifting in a clockwise direction.

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:
All students are teachers.
No teacher is the Principal.
Conclusions:
I. No principal is student.
II. All teachers are students.
Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Both conclusions I and II follow
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Correct answer
Only conclusion I follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
All students are teachers.
No teacher is the Principal.
The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:
Conclusions:
I. No principal is student. - True (because All students are teachers, and No teacher is the Principal. So, No principal is student too)
II. All teachers are students. - False (because All students are teachers given. So, All teachers are students it can be possible but not definite)
Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".
