82
83
84
Correct answer
83
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
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.
WORD - RWOD - DROW
JAMS - MJAS - SMAJ
VAST - SVAT - ASTV
AGES - AEGS - SEGA
POLE - OPLE - EOLP
YEAR - AYER - RAEY
Correct answer
YEAR - AYER - RAEY
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
JAMS − MJAS − SMAJ,
Applying same logic for YEAR - AYER - RAEY,
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 4"
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.)
89, 104
157, 172
138, 153
56, 72
39, 64
97, 111
Correct answer
138, 153
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Second Number = First Number + 15
For the first pair 89 : 104
⇒ 89 + 15 = 104
For the second pair 157 : 172
⇒ 157 + 15 = 172
Applying the same logic to the options:
In Option 1
138 : 153
⇒ 138 + 15 = 153
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only three boxes are kept below D. Only two boxes are kept between D and C. Only F is kept above G. B is kept at some place below A and some place above E. Which box is kept immediately above B?
F
D
C
A
Correct answer
D
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 | F |
| 6 | G |
| 5 | |
| 4 | D |
| 3 | |
| 2 | |
| 1 | C |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | F |
|---|---|
| 6 | G |
| 5 | A |
| 4 | D |
| 3 | B |
| 2 | E |
| 1 | C |
Thus, the box kept immediately above B is D.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four 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.)
KMP
QSV
DFJ
FHK
Correct answer
DFJ
Why this answer is correct
The position and positional values of English Alphabets are:
KMP
QSV
FHK
DFJ
This cluster does not follow the (+2, +3) pattern.
Therefore, the letter cluster that is different from the others is DFJ.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
Select the pair which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern.
VUT−PON
TSR−NML
YXW−SRQ
YXW−RRP
YWU−SRQ
YWU−RQP
Correct answer
YXW−SRQ
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
VUT-PON:
TSR-NML:
Applying the same logic,
The resulting pair is YXW-SRQ.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
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 pens are markers. All markers are stands.
Conclusion (I) : Some pens are stands
Conclusion (II) : All stands are markers
Only conclusion (I) follows
Only conclusion (II) follows
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
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) Some pens are stands - Follow
(Some pens are markers, and all markers are Stand. Hence, Some pens are stands is true)
(II) All stands are markers - Doesn't follow
All markers are stands, but all stands are markers is may be possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)
Only conclusion (I) follows
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 1"
Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
(6 × 14) ÷ 2 + 18 × 4 - 28 ÷ 7 + 34 = 87
4 and 2
14 and 18
6 and 4
7 and 4
Correct answer
4 and 2
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is ,
BODMAS Table:
Given Equation: (6 × 14) ÷ 2 + 18 × 4 - 28 ÷ 7 + 34 = 87
Interchanging 4 and 2 and applying BODMAS rule,
= 84 ÷ 4 + 18 × 2 − 28 ÷ 7 + 34
= 21 + 18 × 2 − 4 + 34
= 21 + 36 − 4 + 34
= 21 + 36 + 34 − 4
= 91− 4
= 87
Since LHS = RHS, the equation is correct after interchanging these numbers.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
Seven people, S, T, I, C, K, E and R, are sitting in a row, facing north. Only two people sit between C and I. Only K sits to the right of E. Only one person sits between I and E. S sits at some place to the right of R but at some place to the left of T. Who sits third from the right end of the line?
T
I
C
S
Correct answer
T
Why this answer is correct
Given : Seven people, S, T, I, C, K, E and R, are sitting in a row, facing north.
Final Arrangement:
Therefore, T sits third from the right end of the line.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

SSV 14
RUV 14
SVX 14
RTV 14
Correct answer
RTV 14
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Combining the results for letters and numbers, the next cluster in the series is RTV 14.
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 4"
