Hence, person D is going to the office on Tuesday.

"Who" is used for the second person in a sentence.

 For example,

E is going to the office just after F, who is not going to the office on Friday → E is going to the office just after F, and  F is not going to the office on Friday.

Question 142

DSSSB Jail Warder 2025• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability 2

'R' # 'P' means 'P' is the father of 'R'

'R' % 'P' means 'R' is the brother of 'P'

'R' ! 'P' means 'R' is the sister of 'P'

In this expression S $ T @ U ! V % W # X, how is T related to X?

  1. AOption (a)

    Daughter

  2. BOption (b)

8

Why this answer is correct

Given number: 5673128

According to the question, 

Number given5673128
Odd digit → (+1) Even digit → (-2)(+1)(-2)(+1)(+1)(+1)(-2)(-2)
Resultant number6484206

So, difference between the digits which are third from the left and second from the right in the new number thus formed → (8 - 0) = 8

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Question 150

DSSSB Jail Warder 2025• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability 2

In a certain code language, 'LEAVE' is coded as '42', 'TEAM' is coded as '36'. What is the code for 'OFFER' in that code language?

  1. AOption (a)

    46

  2. BOption (b)

    48

  3. COption (c)

    47

  4. DOption (d)

    50

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

47

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (Sum of the place value of the alphabets) - 3 = Code.

'LEAVE' is coded as '42'

→ (12 + 5 + 1 + 22 + 5) - 3

→ 45 - 3 = 42

'TEAM' is coded as '36'

→ 20 + 5 + 1 + 13 = 39

→ 39 - 3 = 36

Similarly, for OFFER

→ 15 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 18 = 50

→ 50 - 3 = 47.

So, 'OFFER' will be coded as '47'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
