Question 3

Five people Amanda, Ben, Carol, David, and Emily are sitting on a circular table facing towards the center. Carol sits in between Ben and David. Emily sits to the left of Amanda. Amanda and David are not neighbours. Who sits to the immediate right of Amanda?

Accepted Answer

Place Carol between Ben and David. Emily is left of Amanda. Since Amanda and David are not neighbors, Ben must be to Amanda's immediate right. The final arrangement is Amanda, Ben, Carol, David, Emily (clockwise).

Question 4

Eight boys B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8 are sitting in a row facing towards the north (not necessarily in the same order). B6 is fifth to the right of B1. B4 is fifth to the right of B5. B5 is to the immediate right of B1. B8 is third to the left of B4. B2 is third to the right of B7. B7 is an immediate neighbour of B1. Who is sitting on the immediate left of B1?

Accepted Answer

Start with B1. B5 is to B1's immediate right. B7 is an immediate neighbor of B1. Since B5 is to the right, B7 must be to B1's immediate left.

Question 5

Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.Bicycle : Pedal :: Car : ?

Accepted Answer

A pedal is essential for a bicycle's movement. Similarly, a wheel is essential for a car's movement. Both are fundamental components for locomotion.

Question 6

A is the father of B. B is the brother of C. C is the husband of D. D is the sister of E. E is the mother of F. F is the wife of G.How many male are there in family?

Accepted Answer

Identify males from the given relations: A (father), B (brother), C (husband). G is F's husband, so G is also male. Thus, there are 4 males in total.

Question 7

In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.55, 165, 495, 1485, ?, 13365

Accepted Answer

Observe the pattern: each number is multiplied by 3 to get the next number (55 * 3 = 165, 165 * 3 = 495, 495 * 3 = 1485). So, 1485 * 3 = 4455.

Question 8

In the following question, select the related letter pair from the given alternatives.DGKX : FIMZ :: ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is +2, +2, +2, +2 for each letter. D+2=F, G+2=I, K+2=M, X+2=Z. Applying this to FVKG: F+2=H, V+2=X, K+2=M, G+2=I. So, FVKG : HXMI.

Question 9

Five persons A, B, C, D and E are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Only one person is sitting between C and D (when counted from one side only). B is sitting second to the left of D. A is sitting to the immediate right of B. Who is sitting on the immediate left of B?

Accepted Answer

Place D, then B second left of D. A is immediate right of B. C is one person away from D. This places C immediate left of B. E fills the last spot.

Question 10

Five colleagues Zoe, Aaron, Ben, Chloe, and Daniel are sitting on a circular table facing the center. Zoe is sitting to the immediate left of Aaron. Chloe is sitting next to Zoe. Daniel is sitting to the immediate right of Aaron. Who is sitting to the immediate left of Zoe?

Accepted Answer

Place Zoe left of Aaron. Daniel is right of Aaron. Chloe is next to Zoe. This arrangement places Chloe to Zoe's immediate left, completing the circle.

Question 11

In a certain code language, if DEFINITE is coded as 'FITEDENI' and BUFFALOW is coded as 'FFOWBUAL', then what will ATTACHED be coded as?

Accepted Answer

The word is divided into four pairs of letters. For DEFINITE: DE(1), FI(2), NI(3), TE(4). The code is formed by rearranging these pairs in the order 2-4-1-3, resulting in FITEDENI. Applying this to ATTACHED (AT-TA-CH-ED) gives TA-ED-AT-CH.

Question 12

Five friends Alex, Ben, Chris, David, and Emma are sitting around a circular table facing the center. Alex sits to the immediate right of Ben. Alex is not sitting next to Chris or David. David is to the immediate right of Emma. Who is sitting to the immediate right of Chris?

Accepted Answer

Place Ben, then Alex to his right. Since Alex isn't next to Chris/David, Chris/David must be opposite Alex. David is right of Emma. This places Emma, then David, then Chris. Ben is to Chris's immediate right.

Question 13

Eight persons from Reena, Kavita, Raman, Umesh, Rohit, Vikas, Monika and Priya sit around a square table such that two persons sit in each of the sides. All the persons are sitting facing the centre of the table. Reena sits on the immediate right of Rohit and they both sit on the same side. Monika faces the one who is second to the left of Kavita. Monika is sitting fourth to the right of Reena. Two persons sit between Vikas and Umesh (when counted from one side only) and Umesh is adjacent to Rohit. Only one person sits between Monika and Raman (when counted from one side only). Who is sitting second to the left of Raman?

Accepted Answer

Place Reena and Rohit on one side. Use Monika's position relative to Reena, then Kavita. Place Umesh adjacent to Rohit, then Vikas. Finally, place Raman and Priya. Reena is second to Raman's left.

Question 14

In a certain code language, if AMRITSAR is coded as MAIRSTRA, DURGAPUR is coded as UDGRPARU, then what will SHILLONG be coded as?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves swapping adjacent pairs of letters. A-M becomes M-A, R-I becomes I-R, etc. Applying this to SHILLONG, S-H becomes H-S, I-L becomes L-I, L-O becomes O-L, N-G becomes G-N. Thus, SHILLONG becomes HSLIOLGN.

Question 15

In a certain code language, if RAINBOW is coded as 'S19OC15X' and SUNSHINE is coded as 'T21OTI9O5', then what will MOONLIGHT be coded as?

Accepted Answer

Consonants are shifted to the next letter (R->S, N->O, B->C, W->X). Vowels are replaced by their position in the alphabet (A=1, I=9, O=15, U=21, E=5). Apply this rule to MOONLIGHT.

Question 16

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?15 ÷ 9 × 8 + 12 - 4 = 17

Accepted Answer

Interchanging '+' and '÷' gives 15 + 9 × 8 ÷ 12 - 4. Applying BODMAS: 15 + 9 × (2/3) - 4 = 15 + 6 - 4 = 17. This matches the RHS.

Question 17

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?28 + 12 - 21 ÷ 7 × 4 = 60

Accepted Answer

Interchanging '×' and '-' in the equation gives 28 + 12 × 21 ÷ 7 - 4. Following BODMAS, this simplifies to 28 + 12 × 3 - 4 = 28 + 36 - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60, which is correct.

Question 18

In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives.PTX : RVZ :: CGK : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is +2 for each letter. P (+2) = R, T (+2) = V, X (+2) = Z. Applying this to CGK: C (+2) = E, G (+2) = I, K (+2) = M. So, the answer is EIM.

Question 19

P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a row facing North. U is to the immediate right of T. T is fourth to the right of V. R is the neighbour of Q and S. Person who is third to the left of S is at one of ends. Who is sitting on the immediate right of R?

Accepted Answer

From the clues, deduce the arrangement: V _ _ T U _. R is between Q and S. The person third to the left of S is at an end. This leads to the order P V Q R S T U. Thus, S is to the immediate right of R.

Question 20

'Q × R' means 'Q is the wife of R''Q + R' means 'Q is the husband of R''Q ÷ R' means 'Q is the daughter of R''Q - R' means 'Q is the mother of R'How is W related to G in the expression 'W ÷ E + F - G'?

Accepted Answer

From W ÷ E, W is E's daughter. From E + F, E is F's husband. So W is F's daughter. From F - G, F is G's mother. Thus, W is G's daughter, making W and G sisters.
