Question 10

Accepted Answer

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

Question 11

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Nobody fed him when he was starving.

Accepted Answer

To change the sentence to passive voice, the object 'him' becomes the subject 'He', and the verb 'fed' changes to 'was fed'. Since the original sentence is negative ('Nobody fed him'), the passive voice should also be negative ('He was not fed'). The tense (simple past) must be maintained.

Question 12

Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.

Accepted Answer

The word 'Gingar' is incorrectly spelled. The correct spelling is 'Ginger'. The other words 'Giggle', 'Girdle', and 'Giant' are all spelled correctly.

Question 13

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark
(?) in the following series.
50, 67, 86, 107, ?

Accepted Answer

The series follows a pattern where the difference between consecutive terms increases by 2 each time. The differences are +17, +19, +21. Therefore, the next difference should be +23, making the next term 107 + 23 = 130.

Question 14

Study the given matrix carefully and select the number from among the given options
that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
13 6 75
15 8 ?
18 4 70

Accepted Answer

The pattern is (First Number - Second Number) * 10 + (First Number - Second Number) / 2. For the first row: (13-6)*10 + (13-6)/2 = 7*10 + 7/2 = 70 + 3.5 = 73.5, which is not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) - (First Number + Second Number). For the first row: (13*6) - (13+6) = 78 - 19 = 59, not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) + (First Number - Second Number). For the first row: (13*6) + (13-6) = 78 + 7 = 85, not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) - (First Number - Second Number). For the first row: (13*6) - (13-6) = 78 - 7 = 71, not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) + (Second Number - First Number). For the first row: (13*6) + (6-13) = 78 - 7 = 71, not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) + (First Number / 2). For the first row: (13*6) + (13/2) = 78 + 6.5 = 84.5, not 75. Let's try (First Number * Second Number) - (Second Number / 2). For the first row: (13*6) - (6/2) = 78 - 3 = 75. This pattern works for the first row. For the third row: (18*4) - (4/2) = 72 - 2 = 70. This pattern works for the third row. Applying this pattern to the second row: (15*8) - (8/2) = 120 - 4 = 116. So, the missing number is 116.
