Question : Directions: Six friends A, C, D, E, F, and G are sitting in a straight row, facing north. They are waiting for their seventh friend B to join. Exactly three people are sitting to the left of A. C is occupying an end seat. F and D are immediate neighbours of G. If D is sitting to the immediate left of A, and E is second to the right of A, where will B sit?
Option 1: Fourth to the right of F
Option 2: Fifth to the right of G
Option 3: To the immediate right of E
Option 4: Third to the right of D
Correct Answer: Fourth to the right of F
Solution : Given:
(I) Exactly three people are sitting to the left of A. D is sitting to the immediate left of A and E is second to the right of A.
(II) C is occupying an end seat. F and D are immediate neighbours of G.
So, B is the fourth to the right of F. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? ABDG, BCEH, ?, DEGJ, EFHK
Option 1: CEFG
Option 2: CDFI
Option 3: CDGI
Option 4: CEGH
Correct Answer: CDFI
Solution : Given: ABDG, BCEH, ?, DEGJ, EFHK
In the above-given series, add 1 to the place value of each letter of the previous term to get the next term. ABDG→A + 1 = B; B + 1 = C; D + 1 = E; G + 1 = H BCEH→B + 1 = C; C + 1 = D; E + 1 = F; H + 1 = I CDFI→C + 1 = D; D + 1 = E; F + 1 = G; I + 1 = J DEGJ→D + 1 = E; E + 1 = F; G + 1 = H; J + 1 = K
So, the missing term of the series is CDFI. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
Andaman and Nicobar Island is_____union territory in_______Bay of Bengal.
Option 1: an, a
Option 2: the, no word required
Option 3: the, the
Option 4: a, the
Correct Answer: a, the
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.
"A" is used before "union territory" because it introduces a singular countable noun, and it is the first mention of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the sentence. "The" is used before "Bay of Bengal" to specify a particular bay. "The" is often used before specific geographical locations or landmarks.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: Andaman and Nicobar Island is a union territory in the Bay of Bengal.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster. LATYE : YTLEA :: NETAEO : ?
Option 1: TONEEA
Option 2: TONEAE
Option 3: TTNUAE
Option 4: TQUNEA
Correct Answer: TONEEA
Solution : Given: LATYE : YTLEA :: NETAEO : ?
Like, LATYE : YTLEA – On arranging the letters of LATYE in decreasing order of their place value, we get→Y > T > L > E > A Similarly, follow the same pattern for NETAEO – On arranging the letters of NETAEO in decreasing order of their place value, we get→T > O > N > E = E > A
Thus, NETAEO is coded as TONEEA. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one which is different from the other three alternatives.
Option 1: EDHG
Option 2: LKON
Option 3: UVWX
Option 4: QPTS
Correct Answer: UVWX
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: EDHG; E – 1 = D; D + 4 = H; H – 1 = G Second option: LKON; L – 1 = K; K + 4 = O; O – 1 = N Third option: UVWX; U + 1 = V; V + 1 = W; W + 1 = X Fourth option: QPTS; Q – 1 = P; P + 4 = T; T – 1 = S
So, the third option is different from the other three options as the difference in the positional value of the letters is different. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which one of the given responses would be a meaningful order of the following words? a. Lungs b. Nostrils c. Windpipe d. Blood
Option 1: a, b, c, d
Option 2: b, c, a, d
Option 3: a, c, d, b
Option 4: d, c, b, a
Correct Answer: b, c, a, d
Solution : Given: a. Lungs b. Nostrils c. Windpipe d. Blood
When we inhale, the air containing oxygen enters our body through the nostrils. It then passes through the windpipe, also known as the trachea, which branches into two smaller tubes called bronchi. These tubes lead to the lungs, where the oxygen is diffused into the tiny air sacs called alveoli. From there, oxygen dissolves into the blood vessels surrounding the alveoli and is transported throughout the body to fuel our cells and organs.
So, the correct order is Nostrils, Windpipe, Lungs, Blood or b, c, a, d. Hence, the second option is correct.
