If the given sheet is folded to form a cube, which of the following figures are possible?
Only B and C
Only C and D
Only A, B and C
Only A and B
Correct answer
Only B and C
Why this answer is correct
From the given open Dice:
1 and 3 are the opposite faces.
2 and 5 are the opposite faces.
6 and 4 are the opposite faces.
And, two opposite faces can not be adjacent surfaces, so it can't be shown in a dice.
Now,
Figure A)
→ Can not be made, because 2 and 5 are the opposite faces,
Figure B)
→ Can be made, because all the surfaces are adjacent faces,
Figure C)
→ Can be made, because all the surfaces are adjacent faces,
Figure D)
→ Can not be made, because 1 and 3 are the opposite faces,
So, Only B and C can be made.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
In a certain code language, 'BAG' is written as '9' and 'PURSE' is written as '25'.How will 'WALLET' be written in that language?
40
36
30
49
Correct answer
36
Why this answer is correct
Logic followed here is: The code for a word is determined by the square of the number of letters in the word.
For 'BAG':
Number of letters in BAG = 3
Code = (Number of letters)2
Code = 32 = 9
For 'PURSE':
Number of letters in PURSE = 5
Code = (Number of letters)2
Code = 52 = 25
The pattern observed is: (Number of letters in the word)2.
Similarly, let's find the code for 'WALLET':
Number of letters in WALLET = 6
Code = (Number of letters)2
Code = 62 = 36
Therefore, 'WALLET' will be written as 36.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Pointing to a woman, Ram said, "She is the sister of the only son of the wife of the father of my wife's brother." How is that woman related to the mother of Ram's wife?
Daughter
Sister
sister in law
Granddaughter
Correct answer
Daughter
Why this answer is correct
Decoding symbols for Family Tree:
Let's decode the statement made by Ram:
"My wife's brother" is Ram's brother-in-law.
"The father of my wife's brother" is Ram's wife's father, which is Ram's father-in-law.
"The wife of the father of my wife's brother" is the wife of Ram's father-in-law, who is Ram's mother-in-law.
"The only son of the wife of the father of my wife's brother" is the only son of Ram's mother-in-law, which is Ram's wife's brother.
"She is the sister of the only son..." means the woman being pointed to is the sister of Ram's wife's brother, which is Ram's wife herself.
The woman is Ram's wife.
According to the given information Family Tree Representation:
The woman (Ram's wife) is the daughter of the mother of Ram's wife.
Thus, the woman is the Daughter of the mother of Ram's wife.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
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.)
(20, 160, 60)
(25, 200, 75)
(36, 164, 46)
(19, 178, 36)
(34, 177, 44)
(22, 130, 50)
Correct answer
(36, 164, 46)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Logic: (First Number + Third Number) × 2 = Second Number.
Given Sets:
(20, 160, 60)
(25, 200, 75)
Options:
Option 1: (36, 164, 46)
This set follows the same logic.
Option 2: (19, 178, 36)
⇒ (19 + 36) × 2 = 55 × 2 = 110. (Incorrect)
Option 3: (34, 177, 44)
⇒ (34 + 44) × 2 = 78 × 2 = 156. (Incorrect)
Option 4: (22, 130, 50)
⇒ (22 + 50) × 2 = 72 × 2 = 144. (Incorrect)
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown below. Choose the figure that would most closely resemble the unfolded form of the paper.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
When the paper is unfolded, the paper looks
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
525, 400, 336, 309, 301, ?
300
298
299
296
Correct answer
300
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Thus, the missing term in the series is 300.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. 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:
All umbrellas are raincoats.
All raincoats are sweaters.
All sweaters are jackets.
Conclusions:
I. Some jackets are umbrellas.
II. No jacket is a raincoat.
III. Some sweaters are umbrellas.
All conclusions follow
Only conclusions I and II follow
Only conclusions II and III follow
Only conclusions I and III follow
Correct answer
Only conclusions I and III follow
Why this answer is correct
Given Statements:
All umbrellas are raincoats.
All raincoats are sweaters.
All sweaters are jackets.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
Conclusions:
I. Some jackets are umbrellas. - True (Since all umbrellas are raincoats, all raincoats are sweaters, and all sweaters are jackets, it implies all umbrellas are also jackets. If all umbrellas are jackets, then some jackets must be umbrellas.)
II. No jacket is a raincoat. - False (As all raincoats are sweaters and all sweaters are jackets, it logically follows that all raincoats are jackets. Therefore, some jackets are definitely raincoats, and the conclusion 'No jacket is a raincoat' is false.)
III. Some sweaters are umbrellas. - True (Since all umbrellas are raincoats and all raincoats are sweaters, it means all umbrellas are also sweaters. Therefore, some sweaters must be umbrellas.)
So, conclusions I and III follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the given figure series.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Logic: The figure rotates the anticlockwise direction.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
In a code language, 'flip this coin' is written as 'es pt ki', 'coin was lost' is written as 'th ki ol' and 'was this real' is written as 've th es'. What is the code for 'lost real' in this language?
ve ol
th ve
ol esc
es th
Correct answer
ve ol
Why this answer is correct
The given code language is:
The word 'lost' appears only in the second phrase.
The word 'real' appears only in the third phrase.
Thus, 'lost' is coded as 'ol' and 'real' is coded as 've'.
The code for 'lost real' is 'ol ve' or 've ol'.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
