Question : Directions: In the following question two statements are given followed by two conclusions, I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions can be drawn from the given statement. Indicate your answer. Statements: Some kings are queens. All queens are beautiful. Conclusions: I. All kings are beautiful. II. All queens are kings.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Either conclusion I or II follows
Option 4: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All kings are beautiful – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing kings and beautiful
Question : Which of the following is a FALSE statement?
Option 1: $\tan ^2 \mathrm{~A}=1-\sec ^2 \mathrm{~A}$
Option 2: $\sin \mathrm{A}=\tan \mathrm{A} \times \cos \mathrm{A}$
Option 3: $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-1=\cot ^2 A$
Option 4: $\cos A \times \sec A=1$
Correct Answer: $\tan ^2 \mathrm{~A}=1-\sec ^2 \mathrm{~A}$
Solution : We know, $\sec^2 A = 1+ \tan^2 A$ $⇒1-\sec^2 A = -\tan^2 A$ Hence, the correct answer is $1-\sec^2 A = \tan^2 A$.
Question : Direction: Correct the following equation by interchanging the two signs and two numbers.
7 × 6 + 5 – 4 = 33
Option 1: –, × and 4, 5
Option 2: ×, + and 4, 5
Option 3: +, – and 5, 6
Option 4: ×, – and 5, 6
Correct Answer: +, – and 5, 6
Solution : Given: 7 × 6 + 5 – 4 = 33
Let's check from the options –
First option: –, × and 4, 5 ⇒ 7 – 6 + 4 × 5 = 33 = 7 – 6 + 20 = 21
Question : Directions: By interchanging the given two signs and numbers which of the following equations will be correct? – and +, 6 and 3
Option 1: 7 – 3 × 2 ÷ 6 + 4 = 17
Option 2: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49
Option 3: 7 + 6 ÷ 3 × 8 – 5 = 35
Option 4: 9 – 6 ÷ 4 + 3 × 7 = 8
Correct Answer: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 7 – 3 × 2 ÷ 6 + 4 = 17 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 + 6 × 2 ÷
Question : Direction: Arrange the following words as per order in the dictionary.

Option 4: (D), (C), (E), (B), (A)
Correct Answer: (D), (B), (E), (A), (C)
Solution : Given:
Start from Conceive because i comes before p
Conceive
Now, write Conception because p comes before r
Conception
Now, write Concerned because i comes before
Question : Directions: Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series? 26, 54, 110, 222, ?, 894
Option 1: 446
Option 2: 442
Option 3: 440
Option 4: 444
Correct Answer: 446
Solution : Given: 26, 54, 110, 222, ?, 894
The pattern followed here is –
So, 446 is the missing number in the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : A, B and C are three students. A got 18% more marks than B and 12% less than C. If B got 220 marks, how many marks have C got?
Option 1: 230
Option 2: 295
Option 3: 240
Option 4: 290
Correct Answer: 295
Solution : Given that B got 220 marks and A got 18% more than that of B, So, A's marks = 118% of 220 = 259.6 Also, A's marks are 12% less than C's marks. ⇒ (100 – 12)% of C's marks = A's marks ⇒ 88%
