In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives.
SH : IT :: LM : ?
XU
PV
NM
XB
Correct answer
NM
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
SH : IT
Similarly, for LM : ?
So, 'LM : NM' would be the related letters.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusion's logically definitely follow's from the given statements.
Statements:
Some Ducks are Chickens.
Some Chickens are Eggs.
All Eggs are Omelettes.
Conclusions:
(I) Some Ducks are Eggs.
(II) Some Chickens are Omelettes.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) definitely follow.
Only conclusion (I) definitely follows.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) definitely do not follow.
Only conclusion (II) definitely follows.
Correct answer
Only conclusion (II) definitely follows.
Why this answer is correct
Given Statements:
Some Ducks are Chickens.
Some Chickens are Eggs.
All Eggs are Omelettes.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:
Conclusions:
I. Some Ducks are Eggs - False (Because, No definite relation given between Ducks and Eggs, so Some Ducks are Eggs is possible only).
II. Some Chickens are Omelettes - True (Because, Some Chickens are Eggs and All Eggs are Omelettes, so those part of Chickens which is Eggs will Omelettes also).
So, Only conclusion (II) definitely follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
In a certain code language, ‘FLED' is coded as '4, 10, 3, 2', ‘GOAT' is coded as '5, 13, 25, 18'. What is the code for ‘HECK' in that code language?
8, 3, 1, 9
6, 3, 1, 11
6, 3, 1, 9
6, 3, 3, 9
Correct answer
6, 3, 1, 9
Why this answer is correct
Logic: Place value of Opposite letter - 2 = Code of thar letter.
Now,
'FLED' is coded as '4, 10, 3, 2'
'GOAT' is coded as '5, 13, 25, 18'
Similarly, for 'HECK'
So, 'HECK' will be coded as '6, 3, 1, 9'
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
If ‘+’ means ‘–’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
41 ÷ 18 – 7 + 322 × 23 = ?
167
169
144
153
Correct answer
153
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed is:
Decoding the information,
| Symbol | + | - | × | ÷ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | - | × | ÷ | + |
Given the equation: 41 ÷ 18 – 7 + 322 × 23 = ?
After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,
= 41 + 18 × 7 - 322 ÷ 23
= 41 + 18 × 7 - 14
= 41 + 126 - 14
= 167 - 14
= 153
Hence, the correct answer is "153".
Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
11 × 12 ÷ 78 + 6 – 57 = 88
÷ and +
× and +
÷ and –
– and ×
Correct answer
÷ and +
Why this answer is correct
Let's check each option,
1) ÷ and +
→ 11 × 12 + 78 ÷ 6 – 57 = 88
→ 11 × 12 + 13 – 57 = 88
→ 132 + 13 – 57 = 88
→ 145 – 57 = 88
→ 88 = 88
→ LHS = RHS → Satisfies the equation
2) × and +
→ 11 + 12 ÷ 78 × 6 – 57 = 88
→ 11 + 2/13 × 6 – 57 = 88
→ 11 + 12/13 – 57 = 88
→ 155/13 – 57 = 88
→ LHS ≠ RHS
3) ÷ and –
→ 11 × 12 - 78 + 6 ÷ 57 = 88
→ 11 × 12 - 78 + 6/57 = 88
→ 132 - 78 + 6/57 = 88
→ 54 + 6/57 = 88
→ LHS ≠ RHS
4) – and ×
→ 11 – 12 ÷ 78 + 6 × 57 = 88
→ 11 – 2/13 + 6 × 57 = 88
→ 11 – 2/13 + 342 = 88
→ 353 – 2/13 = 88
→ LHS ≠ RHS
Here, we can see that only Option 1 satisfies the equation.
Hence, the correct answer is "÷ and +".
Anil, Bunty, Choubey, Dishant, and Eshan are five students sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Dishant sits to the immediate right of Anil. Choubey is not sitting next to Dishant or Anil. Eshan is sitting to the immediate right of Choubey. Who is sitting to the immediate right of Dishant?
Bunty
Anil
Choubey
Eshan
Correct answer
Bunty
Why this answer is correct
Given : Anil, Bunty, Choubey, Dishant, and Eshan are five students sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
Explanation :
1) Dishant sits to the immediate right of Anil.
2) Choubey is not sitting next to Dishant or Anil.
After positioning Eshan only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person i.e Bunty.
Thus, according to the final arrangement Bunty is sitting to the immediate right of Dishant.
Hence, "Bunty" is the correct answer.
One of the following five figures four are alike in some manner and one differs from them in that manner. Select the odd figure.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
Logic : In each figure triangle is opposite to circle and pentagon is opposite to the star.
So,
⇒ Circle is Opposite to triangle and pentagon is opposite to the star.
⇒ Circle is Opposite to triangle and pentagon is opposite to the star.
⇒ Circle is Opposite to pentagon and triangle is opposite to the star.
⇒ Circle is Opposite to triangle and pentagon is opposite to the star.
Here, Figure - (3) is the odd one out.
Hence, "Option - (3)" is the correct answer.
Select the option that represents the letters that, when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series.
Q_ _ U O _ E T _ O Q E _ U _ Q E _ _ O
E T Q U T T O U
E T Q U T Q T U
E T Q U T O T U
E T Q T U O T U
Correct answer
E T Q U T O T U
Why this answer is correct
Checking options one by one:
1) Q E T U O / Q E T U O / Q E T U T / Q E O U O → doesn't follow any pattern
2) Q E T U O / Q E T U O / Q E T U Q / Q E T U O → doesn't follow any pattern
3) Q E T U O / Q E T U O / Q E T U O / Q E T U O → follows a pattern (QETUO)
4) Q E T U O / Q E T T O / Q E U U O / Q E T U O → doesn't follow any pattern
Hence, the correct answer is "E T Q U T O T U".
In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following pairs.
(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.)
21, 182
14, 119
8, 87
11, 106
17, 146
12, 113
Correct answer
17, 146
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (First number × 9) - 7 = Second number
Similarly,
Hence, '17, 146' is the correct answer.
