Each vowel in the word 'SCRAMBLE' is changed to the second letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order and each consonant is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order. Which letter will appear exactly twice in the group of the letters thus formed?
N
C
S
M
Correct answer
C
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
| Original Letter | S | C | R | A | M | B | L | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

If ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, and ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
54 − 2 ÷ 120 × 2 + 85 = ?
85
88
86
83
Correct answer
83
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
| Original Sign | New Sign |
|---|---|
| + | − |
| − | × |
| × | ÷ |
| ÷ | + |
Given Expression: 54 − 2 ÷ 120 × 2 + 85 = ?
After replacing the signs with their respective meanings, and following the BODMAS rule,
= 54 × 2 + 120 ÷ 2 − 85
= 54 × 2 + 60 − 85
=108 + 60 − 85
= 168 − 85
= 83
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4"
In a certain code language, ‘queen dirt world’ is coded as ‘ya yo mq’ and ‘world bat law’ is coded as ‘yo uj zs’. How is ‘world’ coded in that language? (All codes are two-letter codes.)
yo
uj
ya
mq
Correct answer
yo
Why this answer is correct
Logic: The code for the word is,
Therefore, the code for world is yo.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
Shreya starts from Point A and drives 22 km towards the north. He then takes a right turn, drives 24 km, turns right and drives 28 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 30 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 6 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-degree turns only unless specified.)
7 km to the west
3 km to the east
5 km to the east
6 km to the east
Correct answer
6 km to the east
Why this answer is correct
The Final Diagram ,
Thus, he should drive 6 km to the east.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4"
The position(s) of how many letters will remain unchanged if each letter in the word DEPARTS is arranged in the English alphabetical order?
0
1
3
2
Correct answer
1
Why this answer is correct
Given word: DEPARTS
| Original Word | D | E | P | A | R | T | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alphabetical Order | A | D | E | P | R | S | T |
Only R remains at the same position.
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2".
Seven boxes F,G,H,I,J,K and S are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only three boxes are kept above G. Only one box is kept between J and G. Only three boxes are kept between J and K. K is kept at some place above G. S is kept immediately below K. F is kept at one of the places above I. H is not kept immediately above or below J. How many boxes are kept between H and J?
Three
Two
Four
One
Correct answer
Four
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven boxes F,G,H,I,J,K and S are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | |
| 6 | K |
| 5 | |
| 4 | G |
| 3 | |
| 2 | J |
| 1 |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | H |
|---|---|
| 6 | K |
| 5 | S |
| 4 | G |
| 3 | F |
| 2 | J |
| 1 | I |
Thus, there are four boxes between H and J.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

All 193 people are standing in a row facing north. Ccd is 14th from the right end while Vks is 124th from the left end. How many people are there between Ccd and Vks?
53
55
52
54
Correct answer
55
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Position of Ccd from the left = (Total number of people − Position of Ccd from the right end) + 1
= (193 − 14) + 1
= 179 + 1
= 180
= (180 − 124) − 1
= 56 − 1
= 55
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
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.)
(27, 12, 322)
(24, 13, 310)
(29, 10, 292)
(32, 7, 224)
(34, 9, 308)
(31, 8, 246)
Correct answer
(31, 8, 246)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (First Number × Second Number) − 2 = Third Number
For the first set (27, 12, 322)
⇒ (27 × 12) − 2
⇒ 324 − 2 = 322.
For the second set (24, 13, 310)
⇒ (24 × 13) − 2
⇒ 312 − 2 = 310.
Applying the same logic to the set (31, 8, 246)
⇒ (31 × 8) − 2
⇒ 248 − 2 = 246.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
