13
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Given series is 1, 4, 3, 8, 7, 12, _, 16, 21
Therefore, '13' is the required number.
Hence, "Option (1)" is the correct answer.
In a certain code language, 'PLANNED' is written as 'RNCNPGF' and 'PROMOTE' is written as 'RTQMQVG'. How will 'IMPROVE' be written in that language?
KORTQXG
KORRQXG
KOQRQXG
KORTOXG
Correct answer
KORRQXG
Why this answer is correct
The position of the letters according to the English alphabet series:
The logic that follows here is as follows:
The word PLANNED is written as RNCNPGF
Similarly, the word PROMOTE will be written as RTQMQVG
In the same way, IMPROVE will be written as
IMPROVE is written as KORRQXG
Hence, the correct answer is "KORRQXG".
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if they appear to be at variance with commonly known facts, select which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements beyond reasonable doubt.
Statement:
I. All pets are birds.
II. Some birds are fishes.
Conclusion:
I. Some fishes are pets.
II. All birds are fishes.
Only conclusion I follows.
Only conclusion II follows.
Neither conclusion follows.
Both the conclusions follow.
Correct answer
Neither conclusion follows.
Why this answer is correct
he logic followed here is:
Draw the Venn diagram:
Conclusions:
I. Some fishes are pets → False (No direct relationship given between fishes and pet it may be possible but not defined)
II. All birds are fishes → False (It may be true but not definitely, Some birds are fishes)
Therefore, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion follows.".
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

If 15378 : 24 :: 20654 : ?
21
34
17
26
Correct answer
17
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
15378 = 1 + 5 + 3 + 7 + 8 = 24
similarly,
20654 = 2 + 0 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 17
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

In the following question, select the odd word pair from the given alternatives.
Computer - Mouse
Boat - Oar
Car - Engine
Car - Windshield
Correct answer
Car - Windshield
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed in the given pair:
The first item in each pair is operated by the second item of the pair.
Laptop is operated by a Mouse.
Boat is operated by an Oar
Car is operated by an Engine.
However,
Car - Windshield is the only option that doesn't follow the logic as a Car is not operated by a windshield.
Hence, ‘Car - Windshield’ is the correct pair.
I, J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting along a circle facing at the centre and are playing cards. M is the immediate neighbour of I and L. J is second to the left of O. N is on the immediate right of I. What is the position of N?
2nd to the left of L
3rd to the right of O
To the immediate left of J
2nd to the right of K
Correct answer
To the immediate left of J
Why this answer is correct
I, J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting along a circle facing at the centre.
J is second to the left of O.
M is the immediate neighbour of I and L.
N is on the immediate right of I.
N is to the immediate left of J.
Hence, the correct answer is "To the immediate left of J "

1) Given word is arranged according to descending order.
2) Vowels are coded as multiplied by 2.
3) Consonants are coded as + 2.
The logic followed here is :-
Similarly,
Hence, the correct answer is "VHJEB".
The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown in the following figures. How would this paper look when unfolded?

'A × B' means A is the father of B.
'A - B' means A is the sister of B.
'A + B' means A is the mother of B.
'A ÷ B' means A is the brother of B.
In the expression O + S × P ÷ T, how is P related to O?
Sister
Father
Brother
Grandson
Correct answer
Grandson
Why this answer is correct
By using the symbols in the table given below, we can draw the following family tree:
| Sign | Relation |
|---|---|
| × | Father |
| - | Sister |
| + | Mother |
| ÷ | Brother |
Given: O + S × P ÷ T
Clearly, P is the Grandson of O.
Hence, the correct answer is "Grandson".
