Figure-based question. Compare the transformation rule in the prompt to each option figure.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves adding +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7 to the alphabetical position of each letter in 'MONTHLY' to get 'DGMOSJR'. Applying the same pattern to 'HEADING' (H+1, E+2, A+3, D+4, I+5, N+6, G+7) results in 'LINYFZM'.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

The relationship between the first and second number is 21 * (21 + 12) = 21 * 33 = 693. Applying the same logic, we need a number 'x' such that x * (x + 12) = 792. By checking the options, 24 * (24 + 12) = 24 * 36 = 864, which is incorrect. Let's re-evaluate the pattern. It is 21 * 33 = 693. So the multiplier is 33. For the second pair, 792 / x = multiplier. Let's try 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24. The relationship is 21 * (21 + 12) = 693, and 24 * (24 + 12) = 24 * 36 = 864. This is not the correct pattern. The pattern is 21 * (21 + 12) = 693. So, the multiplier is 33. For the second pair, 792 / x = multiplier. Let's try 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24. The relationship is 21 * 33 = 693. For the second pair, we need to find 'x' such that x * (some number) = 792. Let's assume the multiplier is constant. 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24.

Question 19

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the
right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. At its height, around 1,200 years ago, the city of Calakmul had a population of about
50,000 people, but the kingdom as a whole numbered more than 1.5 million.
B. Deep in the jungle of southern Mexico lie the ruins of a city that thrived for centuries
before it was abandoned more than 1,000 years ago. 
C. Archaeologists have uncovered 6,750 structures here—the largest is this pyramid temple,
called, simply, 'Structure 2.' 
D. Calakmul was once one of the two duelling superpowers—along with Tikal—of the
Classical Mayan civilisation.

Accepted Answer

Sentence B introduces the topic of the ruins of a city. Sentence D identifies this city as Calakmul and provides context. Sentence C describes the structures found there, and A gives details about its population at its height, logically following the introduction and identification.
