Fawad starts from Point A and drives 13 km towards the North. He then takes a right turn, drives 11 km, turns right and drives 14 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 12 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 1 km and stops at Point P. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point A again? (All turns are 90 degrees turns only unless specified)
1 km to the east
3 km to the east
2 km to the east
4 km to the east
Correct answer
1 km to the east
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Given:
Fawad drives 13 km North
He turns right → 11 km East
He turns right → 14 km South
He turns right → 12 km West
He turns right → 1 km North
So, To reach Point A, he must go 1 km East.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
In a certain code language,
A + B means ‘A is the sister of B’
A # B means ‘A is the brother of B’
A × B means ‘A is the wife of B’
A @ B means ‘ A is the father of B’
Based on the above, how is L related to R if ‘L × O # V + E @ R’?
Wife
Father's brother's daughter
Daughter
Father's brother's wife
Correct answer
Father's brother's wife
Why this answer is correct

Decoding the Symbols:
| Symbol | + | # | × | @ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Sister | Brother | Wife | Father |
Given: L × O # V + E @ R
It means: L is the wife of O, O is the brother of V, V is the sister of E, and E is the father of R.
So, L is R’s father’s brother’s wife.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
32 42 57 77 102 ?
134
131
132
133
Correct answer
132
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
thus, "132" will replace the question mark in the given series.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".
Deepu starts from point K and drives 12 km towards the East. He then takes a left turn, drives 6 km, turns right, and drives 3 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 6 km. Finally, he takes a right turn, drives 5 km, and stops at point P. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach point K again? (All turns are 90 degrees turns only unless specified).
8 km towards the South
10 km towards the North
5 km towards the West
10 km towards the West
Correct answer
10 km towards the West
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Given:
Deepu drives 12 km East
He turns left → 6 km North
He turns right → 3 km East
He turns right → 6 km South
He turns right → 5 km West
So, To reach Point K, he must go 10 km West.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
57 68 79 90 101 ?
111
117
116
112
Correct answer
112
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
thus, "112" will replace the question mark in the given series.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".
J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. N is an immediate neighbour of both L and M. J is sitting to the immediate left of L. K is sitting third to the right of N.
How many people sit between J and M when counted from the left of M?
One
Two
Three
Four
Correct answer
Two
Why this answer is correct
Given: J, K, L, M, N and O are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
N is an immediate neighbour of both L and M.
J is sitting to the immediate left of L.
K is sitting third to the right of N.
Total people between J and M = 2
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
DUBW is related to PGNI in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ZQXS is related to LCJE. To which of the following options is JAHC related to, following the same logic?
VMTO
VBHY
VTIO
VMOT
Correct answer
VMTO
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
For, DUBW → PGNI
For, ZQXS → LCJE
Now, applying the same pattern to JAHC:
So, JAHC → VMTO
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

HLO67
HLP68
HLO68
HLP67
Correct answer
HLO67
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
So, 'HLO67' will replace the question mark in the given series.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
If 3 is added to each odd digit and 2 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 5341256, what will be difference between the highest and lowest digits in the number thus formed?
0
8
4
2
Correct answer
8
Why this answer is correct
Given number: 5341256
Logic:
Odd digits → +3
Even digits → −2
Original number: 5 3 4 1 2 5 6
| Digit | Type | Operation | New Digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Odd | 5 + 3 | 8 |
| 3 | Odd | 3 + 3 | 6 |
| 4 | Even | 4 − 2 | 2 |
| 1 | Odd | 1 + 3 | 4 |
| 2 | Even | 2 − 2 | 0 |
| 5 | Odd | 5 + 3 | 8 |
| 6 | Even | 6 − 2 | 4 |
New number formed: 8 6 2 4 0 8 4 → 8624084
| Parameter | Digit |
|---|---|
| Highest digit | 8 |
| Lowest digit | 0 |
| Calculation | Result |
|---|---|
| 8 − 0 | 8 |
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
