Question 1

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution’. 
Many artisans were almost without any work during the pandemic.

Accepted Answer

The original sentence 'Many artisans were almost without any work during the pandemic' is grammatically correct and idiomatic. The phrase 'almost without any work' correctly conveys that they had very little or no work.

Question 3

Four words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is
different. Select the word that is different.

Accepted Answer

The words 'Excited', 'Nostalgic', and 'Energised' all describe states of heightened emotion or energy. 'Timid' describes a state of fear or shyness, which is different from the other three.

Question 4

Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and
one is different. Select the number-pair that is different.

Accepted Answer

The pattern is that the second number is the square of the first number multiplied by 2 (N : N^2 * 2). For options 1, 3, and 4, this pattern holds true. However, for option 2 (19 : 622), 19^2 * 2 = 361 * 2 = 722, which is not 622.

Question 5

Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the
numbers of the following set.
(44, 24, 132)

Accepted Answer

The pattern in the given set (44, 24, 132) is that the third number is the product of the first number and the difference between the first and second numbers (44 * (44 - 24) = 44 * 20 = 880, which is not 132. Let's re-evaluate. The pattern is (First number / 2) * (Second number) = Third number. So, (44 / 2) * 24 = 22 * 24 = 528. This is also not 132. Let's try another pattern: (First number - Second number) * 6. So (44 - 24) * 6 = 20 * 6 = 120. This is close to 132. Let's try (First number - Second number) * 6.6. This is not a simple integer pattern. Let's try (First number / 2) + Second number = Third number. (44/2) + 24 = 22 + 24 = 46. Not 132. Let's try (First number + Second number) / 2 = Third number. (44 + 24) / 2 = 68 / 2 = 34. Not 132. Let's try (First number - Second number) * (First number / 2). (44 - 24) * (44 / 2) = 20 * 22 = 440. Not 132. Let's try (First number / 4) * (Second number / 2) = Third number. (44/4) * (24/2) = 11 * 12 = 132. This is the correct pattern. Now apply this to the options. For option 2: (56 / 4) * (26 / 2) = 14 * 13 = 182. This matches the pattern.
