In a certain code language,
J × Q means ‘J is the sister of Q’,
J ÷ Q means ‘J is the father of Q’,
J + Q means ‘J is the husband of Q’ and
J – Q means ‘J is the mother of Q’.
Based on the above, how is S related to W if ‘S + T – U ÷ V × W × Y’?
Mother's father
Mother's brother
Wife's brother
Father's father
Correct answer
Father's father
Why this answer is correct
Family Chart:
| Symbol | × | ÷ | + | − |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Sister | Father | Husband | Mother |
Given: S + T − U ÷ V × W × Y
The family tree diagram is ,
Therefore, S is the father of U, who is the father of W .S is the Father's father of W.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements.
Statements: Some cups are jugs. Some jugs are vases.
Conclusion (I) : Some cups are vases
Conclusion (II) : All vases are jugs
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
Only conclusion (I) follows
Only conclusion (II) follows
Correct answer
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
Conclusion:
(I) Some cups are vases - Does not follow
(As there is no direct relation between cups and vases, maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it does not follow.)
(II) All vases are jugs - Does not follow (Some jugs are vases and some vases are jugs . All vases are jugs is false)
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
In a certain code language, ‘PRIME’ is coded as ‘37862’ and ‘REMAP’ is coded as ‘87423’. What is the code for ‘A’ in the given code language?
3
2
4
7
Correct answer
4
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here,
Logic: The code for each word is determined by comparing the given sentences to find common words and their corresponding codes across different sentences.
Therefore, the code for the letter A is 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3
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.)
MJN
GDH
JGK
DAF
Correct answer
DAF
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is ,
Logic: The difference between the positional values of consecutive letters in each cluster is −3 and +4
For MJN:
For GDH:
For JGK:
For DAF:
The, Odd one out is DAF
Hence, the correct answer is option 4
What should come in place of ‘?’ in the given series?

Correct answer
26
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is.
Logic: The series follows a adding successive multiples of 6
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding / subtracting / multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
18, 325
19, 362
14, 196
21, 440
22, 485
20, 399
Correct answer
22, 485
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Second Number = (First Number)2 + 1
For the first set 18, 325
⇒ (18)2 + 1
⇒ 324 + 1 = 325.
For the second set 19, 362
⇒ (19)2 + 1
⇒ 361 + 1 = 362.
Following same logic,
Option 3: 22, 485
⇒ (22)2 + 1
⇒ 484 + 1 = 485.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
Which of the following letter-number clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete?

Correct answer
VRW 9
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
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 two boxes are kept below G. Only one box is kept above B. Only one box is kept between B and A. F is kept immediately above E. D is kept at some place below C. Which box is kept at the top?
D
B
C
A
Correct answer
C
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one over the other.
Only two boxes are kept below G.
Only one box is kept above B.
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | _ |
| 6 | B |
| 5 | _ |
| 4 | _ |
| 3 | G |
| 2 | _ |
| 1 | _ |
Only one box is kept between B and A.
F is kept immediately above E.
D is kept at some place below C.
Final Arrangement:
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | C |
| 6 | B |
| 5 | D |
| 4 | A |
| 3 | G |
| 2 | F |
| 1 | E |
Thus, the box kept at the top is C.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
