Question : Directions: DJM is related to BHK in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, JNP is related to HLN. To which of the following is HFD related following the same logic?
Option 1: ECA
Option 2: JHF
Option 3: FDB
Option 4: DFH
Correct Answer: FDB
Solution : Given: DJM is related to BHK –
Subtract 2 from the positional value of each letter of DJM to obtain the required code – D – 2 = B; J – 2 = H; M – 2 = K Thus, DJM is coded as BHK.
Question : If the successive discounts be 20%, 10%, and 5%, then the single equivalent rate of discount is:
Option 1: 31.6%
Option 2: 31.5%
Option 3: 31%
Option 4: 31.4%
Correct Answer: 31.6%
Solution : We know, Equivalent discount = $(a+b–\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, Where $a,b$ are successive discounts. So, $20+10-\frac{20\times 10}{100}=28$% Now again $a = 28$% and $b = 5$% So, $28+5-\frac{28\times 5}{100}=31.6$% Hence, the correct answer is 31.6%.
Question : Directions: If A stands for ÷, B stands for ×, C stands for + and D stands for –, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation? 37 C 28 B 6 D 322 A 23 = ?
Option 1: 191
Option 2: 189
Option 3: 181
Option 4: 197
Correct Answer: 191
Solution : Given: 37 C 28 B 6 D 322 A 23 = ?
Here, A stands for ÷, B stands for ×, C stands for + and D stands for –, so the equation will be as follows – = 37 + 28 × 6 –
Question : Directions: What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series? 717, 738, 757, ?, 789
Option 1: 784
Option 2: 787
Option 3: 774
Option 4: 772
Correct Answer: 774
Solution : Given: 717, 738, 757, ?, 789
Add the consecutive odd numbers in decreasing order, (starting from 21) to the previous number to get the next number of the series – 717 + 21 = 738; 738 + 19 = 757; 757 + 17 = 774;
Question : The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow is $1: \sqrt{3}$. The angle of elevation of the sun is:
Option 1: $90^{\circ}$
Option 2: $30^{\circ}$
Option 3: $45^{\circ}$
Option 4: $60^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $30^{\circ}$
Solution : The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow, $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{AB}{BC}$ ⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $\tan\theta = \tan 30^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\theta =30^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $30^{\circ}$.
