The logic followed here is:
Thus, the missing term in the series is 346.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1';
Read the given statement(s) and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement(s).
Statements:
All hats are carpets.
No carpet is a locket.
Conclusions:
(I) No hat is a locket.
(II) Some lockets are carpets.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
Only conclusion (II) follows
Only conclusion (I) follows
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Correct answer
Only conclusion (I) follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
(I) No hat is a locket - Follows
(Since all hats are nested entirely within the carpets circle and there is no intersection between carpets and lockets, it is logically impossible for any hat to be a locket.)
(II) Some lockets are carpets - Doesn't follow
(As their is no direct relation establish between locket and carpets may be it is possible but not definte. Hence, it is false)
Only conclusion (I) follows.
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 3"
Seven boxes G, H, I, J, K, L and T are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only two boxes are kept between L and J. Only T is kept above I. No box is kept below J. H is kept at some place below G but at some place above K. How many boxes are kept between T and H?
One
Two
Three
Four
Correct answer
Three
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven boxes G, H, I, J, K, L and T are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | T |
| 6 | I |
| 5 | |
| 4 | L |
| 3 | |
| 2 | |
| 1 | J |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | T |
|---|---|
| 6 | I |
| 5 | G |
| 4 | L |
| 3 | H |
| 2 | K |
| 1 | J |
Thus, three boxes are kept between T and H.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
In a certain code language, ‘uncle steak gum’ is coded as 'xl wc iv' and ‘sir gum barn’ is coded as ‘wc mn ut’. How is ‘gum’ coded in the given language?
iv
mn
wc
xl
Correct answer
wc
Why this answer is correct
Logic: The code for a word is determined by comparing phrases to find common words and their respective codes in the given language.
For
Phrase 1: ‘uncle steak gum’ is coded as ‘xl wc iv’
Phrase 2: ‘sir gum barn’ is coded as ‘wc mn ut’
| Phrase | Words | Codes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | uncle, steak, gum | xl, wc, iv |
| 2 | sir, gum, barn | wc, mn, ut |
Comparing Phrase 1 and Phrase 2, we can observe that:
The word gum is the only common word present in both the first and second phrases.
The code wc is the only common code present in both the first and second phrases.
Since gum is the only common word, its corresponding code must be wc.
The correct answer is option 3
Six boxes H,I,J,K,L and E are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. E is kept immediately above J. I is kept immediately above L. Only K is kept above H. Only two boxes are kept above E. How many boxes are kept between I and K?
One
Two
Four
Three
Correct answer
Three
Why this answer is correct
Given: Six boxes H, I, J, K, L, and E are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 6 | K |
| 5 | H |
| 4 | E |
| 3 | |
| 2 | |
| 1 |
Final Arrangement:
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 6 | K |
| 5 | H |
| 4 | E |
| 3 | J |
| 2 | I |
| 1 | L |
Thus, there are three boxes kept between I and K.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
Each letter in the word INJURED is arranged in the English alphabetical order. How many letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which is third from the left and the one which is second from the right in the new letter cluster thus formed?
11
9
8
7
Correct answer
8
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Arrange the letters of INJURED in alphabetical order.
| Original Word | I | N | J | U | R | E | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alphabetical Order | D | E | I | J | N | R | U |
The letters between I and R are: J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q
Number of letters = 8
∴ Hence, the correct answer is "Option B "
Select the pair that follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern.
UQL : QMH
CAT : YWP
NOP : OPQ
UTW : RQT
LJH : NLJ
ZBM : VXI
Correct answer
ZBM : VXI
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
For 'UQL' related to 'QMH':
For 'CAT' related to 'YWP':
Applying the same logic to 'ZBM':
Thus, ZBM is related to VXI.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two sets of pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern.
UOM : YRK
VSL : ZVJ
INK : MQI
FEO : JHL
GVS : KYR
KRX : OTV
Correct answer
INK : MQI
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
For UOM : YRK →
For VSL : ZVJ
Applying for the same logic INK : MQI ,
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs 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 man out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
BK – XF
QE – MA
LX – HT
NV – JR
Correct answer
BK – XF
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
BK − XF,
QE − MA,
LX − HT,
NV − JR,
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is BK − XF.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
