Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (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.) (4, 12, 2) (7, 42, 14)
Option 1: (19, 62, 11)
Option 2: (25, 29, 5)
Option 3: (9, 26, 4)
Option 4: (15, 44, 9)
Correct Answer: (9, 26, 4)
Solution : Given: (4, 12, 2); (7, 42, 14)
The pattern is as follows – (4, 12, 2)→(4 + 2) × 2 = 6 × 2 = 12 (7, 42, 14)→(7 + 14) × 2 = 21 × 2 = 42

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, HISTORY is written as XQNSRHI. How is ETHICS written in that code language?
Option 1: DSGHBR
Option 2: RBHGSF
Option 3: RBHDSG
Option 4: GSDRBH
Correct Answer: RBHGSF
Solution : Given: HISTORY is written as XQNSRHI.
By reversing the order of the letters of HISTORY, we get YROTSIH. Subtract 1 from each letter of the above-reversed letter cluster and add 1 only to the last letter – Y – 1 = X; R – 1
Question : Alcoholic (-OH) group can be identified by:
