Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given 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.) (38, 29, 67) (43, 36, 79)
Option 1: (51, 39, 70)
Option 2: (59, 28, 77)
Option 3: (47, 35, 82)
Option 4: (34, 47, 83)
Correct Answer: (47, 35, 82)
Solution : Given: (38, 29, 67); (43, 36, 79)
The pattern is as follows – (38, 29, 67)→38 + 29 = 67 (43, 36, 79)→43 + 36 = 79 Now, let's check the options – First option: (51, 39, 70)→51 + 39 = 90 ≠

Option 4: 1919
Correct Answer: 1924
Solution : The correct option is 1924.
In 1924, Albert Einstein predicted a new state of matter, the Bose-Einstein Condensate based on formulations by the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. It is also known as the fifth state of matter. It is a state of matter created
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the number that can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 108
Option 2: 112
Option 3: 118
Option 4: 120
Correct Answer: 120
Solution : Multiply the sum of the vertical and horizontal blocks to get the required missing number of centre blocks.
In the first figure – (3 + 5) × (7 + 4) = 11 × 8 = 88 In the second figure – (5 + 8) ×
Question : The pie chart given below shows the production of 6 different factories. The total production of all these 6 factories is 15000. The production of a particular factory is shown as a percent of total production of all these 6 factories. $J_1$ = The value of average production of factories F3 and F6. $J_2$ = The difference between the production of factory F1 and F4. What is the value of ($J_2 – J_1$)?
Option 1: 385
Option 2: 395
Option 3: 375
Option 4: 305
Correct Answer: 375
Solution : Total production = 15000 Now let's calculate $J_1$ and $J_2$. $J_1$ = The value of average production of factories F3 and F6 $J_1$ = $\frac{\text{F3 } + \text{ F6}}{2}$ F3 = 6% of 15000 ⇒ F3 = 900 F6 = 5% of 15000 ⇒ F6
