Select the pair which is related to each other in the same way as the following -
27:82
9 : 28
(
NOTE:
Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying 1 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.) 2
42 : 127
18:37
37: 107
47:138
Correct answer
42 : 127
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number × 3) + 1 = 2nd number.
Now,
For, 27 : 82
⇒ (27 × 3) + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82.
For, 9 : 28
⇒ (9 × 3) + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28.,
Similarly,
42 : 127
⇒ (42 × 3) + 1 = 126 + 1 = 127.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
If every letter in the word IMAGINATION is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical order and the letters of the new word thus formed are arranged in alphabetical order, which letter will be the sixth from the left end of the new word thus formed?
Note:
The new word formed after performing the mentioned operations may not necessarily be a meaningful English word.
P
J
N
O
Correct answer
J
Why this answer is correct
Given word: 'IMAGINATION'
After changing each letter to the next letter in the English alphabetical order:
JNBHJOBUJPO
After arranged in alphabetical order:
| Alphabets | J | N | H | B | J | O | B | U | J | P | O |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alphabetical order | B | B | H | J | J | J | N | O | O | P | U |
Thus, letter will be the sixth from the left end of the new word is "J".
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

3, 9, 24
5, 25, 125
7, 49, 42
8, 56, 448
Correct answer
3, 9, 24
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (1st number)2 = 2nd number. (1st number)3 - 1st number = 3rd number.
For, (4, 16, 60)
⇒ (4)2 = 16, (4)3 - 4 ⇒ 64 - 4 = 60.
For, (2, 4, 6)
⇒ (2)2 = 4, (2)3 - 2 ⇒ 6 - 2 = 6.
Let's check options one by one.
Option 1) 3, 9, 24
⇒ (3)2 = 9, (3)3 - 3 ⇒ 27 - 3 = 24.
Option 2) 5, 25, 125
⇒ (5)2 = 25, (5)3 = 125.
Option 3) 7, 49, 42
⇒ (7)2 = 49, 7× 6 = 42.
Option 4) 8, 56, 448
⇒ (8)2 - 8 = 56, (8)3 - (8)2 ⇒ 512 - 64 = 448.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

In this question, two statements are followed by four conclusions given as options. Decide which conclusion is definitely true, based on the given statements.
Statements:
A ≥ B > C < D
E < B > F ≥ G
C>E
G<A
D>E
E<G
Correct answer
G<A
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
A>B>C<D
E<B>F>G
Let's check options one by one.
Option 1) C>E - False(because, there is no direct relation between C and E, so it can be Possible only).
Option 2) G<A - True(because, A > B > G, So, G < A).
Option 3) D>E - False,(because, there is no direct relation between C and E, so it can be Possible only).
Option 4) E<G - False,(because, there is no direct relation between C and E, so it can be Possible only).
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the sixth number is related to the fifth number.
546:15 :: 879:?::715:13
21
24
19
17
Correct answer
24
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Sum of the digits of 1st number = 2nd number.
For, 546:15
⇒ 5 + 4 + 6 = 15.
For, 715:13
⇒ 7 + 1 + 5 = 13.
Similarly, 879:?
⇒ 8 + 7 + 9 = 24.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

If + means x, x means -, - means ÷, and ÷ means +, what will be the value of the given expression?
24-4+18×3÷7
118
98
112
120
Correct answer
112
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
Given equation: 24 - 4 + 18 × 3 ÷ 7
Now, if ‘+’ means ‘x’, ‘x’ means ‘-’, ‘-’ means ‘÷’, and ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then:
⇒ 24 ÷ 4 x 18 − 3 + 7
⇒ 6 x 18 − 3 + 7
⇒ 108 − 3 + 7
⇒ 115 − 3
⇒ 112
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Six sports persons are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. R is sitting second to the right of M. Only two people are sitting between R and K. V is sitting second to the right of S. N is an immediate neighbour of both K and V. Who is the immediate neighbour of both M and R?
S
K
V
N
Correct answer
S
Why this answer is correct
Given: Six sports persons are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
2). N is an immediate neighbour of both K and V.
3) V is sitting second to the right of S
Thus, the immediate neighbour of both M and R is "S".
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Which of the following equations is correct when the numbers 12 and 6 are interchanged and the signs ÷ and + are interchanged?
4 − 6 × 12 ÷ 5 + 7 = 22
12 ÷ 3 − 8 − 6 + 1 = 15
6 ÷ 4 × 5 − 12 + 3 = 30
9 ÷ 6 × 4 + 12 − 3 = 18
Correct answer
6 ÷ 4 × 5 − 12 + 3 = 30
Why this answer is correct
Given: 12 and 6 are interchanged and the signs ÷ and + are interchanged
Let's check options one by one.
option 1) 4 − 6 × 12 ÷ 5 + 7 = 22
⇒ 4 − 12 × 6 + 5 ÷ 7 = 22
⇒ 4 - 72 + 0.7 = 22
⇒ 4.7 - 72 = - 67.3 ≠ 22
option 2) 6 ÷ 4 × 5 − 12 + 3 = 30
⇒ 6 + 3 − 8 − 12 ÷ 1 = 15
⇒ 9 - 8 - 12 = 15
⇒ 9 - 20 = 11 ≠ 15.
option 3) 6 ÷ 4 × 5 − 12 + 3 = 30
⇒ 12 + 4 × 5 − 6 ÷ 3 = 30
⇒ 12 + 20 - 2 = 30
⇒ 32 - 2 = 30
option 4) 9 ÷ 6 × 4 + 12 − 3 = 18
⇒ 9 + 12 × 4 ÷ 6 − 3 = 18
⇒ 9 + 12 × .67 - 3 = 18
⇒ 9 + 7.9 - 3 = 18
⇒ 16.9 - 3 = 13.9 ≠ 18.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Two different positions of the same die are shown below. What is the number on the face opposite to the one having 6?
5
4
1
2
Correct answer
2
Why this answer is correct
From cube I: The faces with letter 3 and 5 are adjacent to the face with letter 2 in the first position.
From cube II: The faces with letter 4 and 1 are adjacent to the face with letter 2 in the second position.
The only letter left is 6.
→ Letter 2 is opposite to letter 6,
→ Letter 3 is opposite to letter 1,
→ Letter 5 is opposite to letter 4.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must NOT be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)
Map: Directions:: Manual:_________
Statements
Instructions
Conclusions
Assumptions
Correct answer
Instructions
Why this answer is correct

Bridge
Passport
Departure
Aeroplane
Correct answer
Departure
Why this answer is correct
