Given: (left) ROW MAD LAY CAT (right)

Now, In each of the words, each letter is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical order,

 

then there are 'Two' words having no vowel: 'SPX' and 'MBZ'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

1. First box series →

The first column elements shift clockwise in the downward direction.

The last two elements of the 2^nd row from the left interchange positions.

The rest of the element is shift anticlockwise.

2. Second box series → 

The elements at the corner of the 2^nd row interchange positions.

The rest of elements of the 2^nd row interchange positions.

The elements at the corner interchange positions diagonally.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 9345712.

Odd digits is decreased by - 1

and, Even digits is increased by + 2

After arrange the numbers:

9345712 ⇒ 8264604

Now, The largest digits after rearranging the series: 8

And, The smallest digits after rearranging the series: 0

So, the difference between the largest and smallest digits is: 8 - 0 = 8.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

'DIARY' is written as 'FLFXF'.

'READY' is written as 'THFJF'.

Similarly, for 'ERROR'

So, 'ERROR' will be written as 'GUWUY'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given : 

1. Eight people are sitting in two parallel rows with 4 people each in such a way that there is equal distance between adjacent persons and they are facing each other.
2. In row I – L, M, N and O are seated and all of them are facing south.
3. In row II – P, Q, R and S are seated and all of them are facing north.

Explanation :

1) N sits next to the person at the extreme right end of their row and is facing R.

2) S sits at the extreme left end of their row.

3) Q sits to the immediate right of R and is facing L.

4. O sits at the extreme left end of their row.

After positioning Q, R, L and O two positions i.e one position in each row is vacant which will be occupied by the only people left in their respective rows i.e M in row - I and P is row - II.

Thus, after the final arrangement M sits at the extreme right end of the row of people facing South i.e in row - I.

Hence, "M" is the correct answer.

Given: Seven brothers P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V are born in different years.

1. S is younger than only 2 other brothers and neither of them is U.

This means S is the third oldest and U is younger than S.

T > Q > S > __ > __ > __ > __

2. P is older than R but younger than U and S.

As S is older than U and P is younger than both, P must be younger than S and U. P is older than R, so R must be one of the youngest two.

T > Q > S > U > P > R > __

3. R is not the youngest.

This implies that the last spot should be occupied by V.

T > Q > S > U > P > R > V

So, the final arrangement will be:

T > Q > S > U > P > R > V

Thus, the youngest brother is V.

Hence, the correct answer is "V".

The logic follows here is:

Given series: L K A ? Z 6 N T $ * I ^ J # B β U C D 9 Z Y P © 3 ¥ 5 M G E F

If we have a combination of the opposite directions like left and right or right and left then we take the sum of the numbers to find the final position.

If we have a combination of the same directions like left and left or right and right then we take the difference of the numbers to find the final position.

Now first, find out the element 8^th to the left of the 9^th from the right end

Therefore, 8 + 9 = 17

The 17^th element from the right end is B

Now, find out 15^th to the right of the 17^th element from the right end

Therefore, 17 - 15 = 2

The 2^nd element from the right end is E

L K A ? Z 6 N T $ * I ^ J # B β U C D 9 Z Y P © 3 ¥ 5 M G E F

Hence, the correct answer is E.

Alternate Method

The logic follows here is:

Given series: L K A ? Z 6 N T $ * I ^ J # B β U C D 9 Z Y P © 3 ¥ 5 M G E F

9^th element from the right end is P

8^th element to the left of P is B

15^th element to the right of B is E

L K A ? Z 6 N T $ * I ^ J # B β U C D 9 Z Y P © 3 ¥ 5 M G E F

Hence, the correct answer is E.

Important Points

The logic behind the given directions is as follows:

1. If the same directions are given in the question

like, left and left or right and right then take a difference of the numbers.

2. If the opposite directions are given the question

like, left and right or right and left then take a sum of the numbers.

The logic follows here is:

Given series: C $ 7 D Q S 1 B β 9 D C 8 L K D 2 F M P μ I © F ¥ H 0 π Y O

Conditions to be checked

1. Letters which are immediately followed by a symbol and immediately preceded by a number

Number → Letter → Symbol

C $ 7 D Q S 1 B β 9 D C 8 L K D 2 F M P μ I © F ¥ H 0 π Y O

Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Mistake Points

1. Immediately preceded by means immediately before or to come just before.
2. Immediately followed by means immediately after or to come just after.

Seven friends: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V.

1. V is third to the left of S.

2. P sits immediate right of S.

 

3. P is second to the left of T.

4. Q is third to the right of R.

5. U sits immediate left of R.

So, case -1 gets eliminated.

Q is Second to the left of V.

Hence, the correct answer is "Q".

Given :

Statement given : W # Q @ T & Y @ M % K

So,

• W # Q → W is the mother of Q.

• Q @ T → Q is the son of T.

• T & Y → T is the brother of Y.

• Y @ M → Y is the son of M.

• M % K → M is the wife of K.

​

Thus, according to the final family tree K is the father-in-law of W.

Hence, "Father-in-law" is the correct answer.
