55
52
Correct answer
76
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Logic: Sum of opposite positional values of letters − 5.
For NHJCR,
For QETLO,
Applying the same logic PHASJ:
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
Seven people F, G, H, L, M, O and Q are sitting in a row facing north. No one sits to the right of Q. O sits to the immediate left of Q. Only three people sit between Q and H. F sits third to the left of L. G sits to the immediate right of L. How many people sit between M and O?
Two
Four
One
Three
Correct answer
Three
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven people F, G, H, L, M, O, and Q, are sitting in a row facing north.
The Final Arrangement is,
The people sitting between them are at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions, which are H, L, and G.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4"
Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only one box is kept above C. A is not the topmost box. Only two boxes are kept below D. G is kept below D but above F. E is kept below A. How many boxes are kept between A and E?
None
Two
One
Three
Correct answer
None
Why this answer is correct
**Given:**Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | |
| 6 | C |
| 5 | |
| 4 | |
| 3 | D |
| 2 | G |
| 1 | F |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | B |
|---|---|
| 6 | C |
| 5 | A |
| 4 | E |
| 3 | D |
| 2 | G |
| 1 | F |
Thus, there are none boxes kept between A and E.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Each vowel in the word WONDERLANDS is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order AND each consonant is changed to the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabetical order. Which of the following letters will appear exactly twice in the group of letters thus formed?
F
M
Q
R
Correct answer
M
Why this answer is correct
Given Word: WONDERLANDS
Applying the logic ,
| W | O | N | D | E | R | L | A | N | D | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| −1 | +1 | −1 | −1 | +1 | −1 | −1 | +1 | −1 | −1 | −1 |
| V | P | M | C | F | Q | K | B | M | C | R |
The letters in the group thus formed are: V, P, M, C, F, Q, K, B, M, C, R
The letters that appear exactly twice in the newly formed group are M and C.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that DOES NOT belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
KHN
VSX
NKP
ROT
Correct answer
KHN
Why this answer is correct
For VSX
For NKP
For ROT
For KHN
Therefore, KHN is the odd one out as it does not follow the common pattern.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
In the following triad, each group of letters is related to the subsequent one following a certain logic. Select, from the given options, the one which follows the same logic.
DENY - DYNE - YNED
HUGE - HEGU - EGUH
GROW - GRWO - ROWG
LOST - LTSO - TSOL
CLOT - LCOT - TLOC
TURN - TRUN - NRUT
Correct answer
LOST - LTSO - TSOL
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
For 'DENY - DYNE - YNED',
For 'HUGE - HEGU - EGUH',
Applying the same logic to 'LOST':
Thus, the triad following the logic is 'LOST - LTSO - TSOL'.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
Seven boxes A, B, R, U, P, T and S are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only four boxes are kept above U. Only one box is kept above R. Only one box is kept between R and A. S is kept immediately above T. P is kept at someplace below B. How many boxes are kept between B and S?
Four
One
Three
Two
Correct answer
Four
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven boxes, A, B, R, U, P, T, and S, are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | |
| 6 | R |
| 5 | |
| 4 | A |
| 3 | U |
| 2 | |
| 1 |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | B |
|---|---|
| 6 | R |
| 5 | P |
| 4 | A |
| 3 | U |
| 2 | S |
| 1 | T |
Thus, there are four boxes R, P, A, and Ubetween B and S.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
