CJK
EHK
FHJ
KOJ
Correct answer
KOJ
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is,
CJK = C + J + K = 3 + 10 + 11 =24
EHK = E + H + K = 5 + 8 + 11 = 24
FHJ = F + H + J = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
KOJ = K + O + J = 11 + 15 + 10 = 36
Sum of positional value of letters in all pairs are 24 except KOJ.
Hence, “KOJ” is the odd one.

WNBD
WNCD
Correct answer
WNCD
Why this answer is correct

On 8th February, 2020 it was Saturday. What was the day of the week on 1st February, 2016 ?
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Correct answer
Monday
Why this answer is correct
Odd days:
A leap year has 366 days and a non-leap year has 365 days.
Leap year = 366 days or 52 weeks and 2 days. So, here the number of odd days are 2.
Non - Leap year = 365 days or 52 weeks and 1 day. So, here the number of odd days is 1.
Number of odd days in the following years
| 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Total number of odd days in all the years combined = 1+1+1+2 = 5
| Code of the day | Day |
|---|---|
| 0 | Sunday |
| 1 | Monday |
| 2 | Tuesday |
| 3 | Wednesday |
| 4 | Thursday |
| 5 | Friday |
| 6 | Saturday |
8th February 2020 was Saturday
Code for Saturday is 6 and the number of odd days in all the years combined is 5. So, 6 - 5 = 1
1 is the code for Monday.
Hence, 1st February 2016 was Monday.

UGMHCKR
UFNHCPR
Correct answer
UFMHCKR
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here is :
Middle term changes to the reverse alphabet.
Similarly,
Hence, the correct answer is "UFMHCKR".
Additional Information
Sum of place values of Reverse (Positional opposite) alphabets = 27.
If A means 'subtraction', B means 'addition', C means 'division' and D means 'multiplication', then find the value of
48 B 24 C 12 D 3 A 4.
46
146
50
2
Correct answer
50
Why this answer is correct
Given Equation: 48 B 24 C 12 D 3 A 4 = ?
BODMAS Rule:
Decoding the given information:
| Alphabet | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | - | + | ÷ | × |
Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:
⇒ 48 + 24 ÷ 12 × 3 - 4 = ?
⇒ 48 + 2 × 3 - 4 = ?
⇒ 48 + 6 - 4 = ?
⇒ 54 - 4 = 50.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".
Study the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.
Five People A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row facing south but not necessarily in the same order. A and B are sitting together. C is sitting immediate left of A. D sits second to the right of A. C sits in the extreme left end of the row.
Which of the following sequence is true?
D is third to the left of A .
D is to the left of B.
A is third to the left of E.
C is to the right of B.
Correct answer
A is third to the left of E.
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Five People A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row facing south.
A and B are sitting together. C is sitting immediate left of A.
C sits in the extreme left end of the row.
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Four number – pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different one.
76 – 361
52 – 196
64 – 256
68 – 289
Correct answer
52 – 196
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is:
Option 1: 76 – 361 → 19 × 4 – 192
Option 2: 52 – 196 → 13 × 4 – 132(169 ≠ 196)
Option 3: 64 – 256 → 16 × 4 – 162
Option 4: 68 – 289 → 17 × 4 – 172
All follow the same pattern, except ’52 - 196’.
Hence, ’52 – 196’ is the correct answer.
