1Choose the word that is the odd one out among the options.

A.Frigate

B.Destroyer

C.Submarine

D.Helicopter Carrier

Explanation: While all options are military naval vessels, a submarine operates underwater (sub-surface), whereas frigates, destroyers, and helicopter carriers are surface vessels.

2If the word 'NAVY' is coded as 'ODWB' in a secret military code, how would the word 'SHIP' be coded?

A.TIJQ

B.TKJS

C.TKJT

D.SLJQ

Explanation: The code follows an alternating shift pattern: N (+1) = O; A (+3) = D; V (+1) = W; Y (+3) = B (wrapping around the alphabet). Applying this (+1, +3, +1, +3) pattern to SHIP: S (+1) = T; H (+3) = K; I (+1) = J; P (+3) = S. Thus, SHIP becomes TKJS.

3Complete the analogy: Sailor is to Fleet as Soldier is to ________.

A.Regiment

B.Cantonment

C.Barrack

D.Fortress

Explanation: This is a collective group analogy. A sailor is a member of a fleet (a group of ships or naval forces). Similarly, a soldier is a member of a regiment (a military unit of ground forces).

4Find the missing number in the following sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, ________.

A.94

B.95

C.96

D.97

Explanation: The pattern in the sequence is to double the current number and add 1: (2 * 2) + 1 = 5; (5 * 2) + 1 = 11; (11 * 2) + 1 = 23; (23 * 2) + 1 = 47. Therefore, the next term is (47 * 2) + 1 = 94 + 1 = 95.

5If you rearrange the letters 'R E D N A M M O C', you get the name of a naval officer rank. What is the first letter of that rearranged word?

A.C

B.M

C.R

D.D

Explanation: Rearranging the letters 'R E D N A M M O C' (C, O, M, M, A, N, D, E, R) forms the word 'COMMANDER', which is a senior naval officer rank. The first letter of 'COMMANDER' is C.

6Point A is 10 meters north of Point B. Point C is 10 meters east of Point A. Point D is 10 meters south of Point C. In which direction is Point D with respect to Point B?

A.North

B.South

C.East

D.West

Explanation: If we map the coordinates starting from B at (0,0): A is at (0, 10); C is at (10, 10); D is at (10, 0) because it is 10 meters south of C. Comparing D (10, 0) to B (0, 0), Point D is directly East of Point B.

7A class of cadet candidates stands in a single straight line. Tahsin is 14th from the left end and 27th from the right end. How many candidates are in the line?

A.40

B.41

C.39

D.42

Explanation: To find the total number of candidates in a line, use the formula: Total = (Position from Left) + (Position from Right) - 1. Total = 14 + 27 - 1 = 41 - 1 = 40. We subtract 1 because Tahsin is counted twice.

8Find the odd one out among the given months of the year.

A.January

B.July

C.August

D.November

Explanation: January, July, and August all have 31 days. November is the odd one out because it has only 30 days.

9If 5 naval commandos can complete a reconnaissance mission in 12 hours, how many hours will it take 6 commandos to complete the same mission at the same pace?

A.10 hours

B.8 hours

C.14 hours

D.9.6 hours

Explanation: This is an inverse proportion problem. The total work is measured in commando-hours: 5 commandos * 12 hours = 60 commando-hours. If 6 commandos perform the mission, the time taken is: 60 commando-hours / 6 commandos = 10 hours.

10If a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees turns North into East, what direction will a counter-clockwise rotation of 270 degrees turn South into?

A.North

B.South

C.East

D.West

Explanation: A counter-clockwise rotation of 270 degrees is mathematically equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees (360 - 270 = 90). Rotating South by 90 degrees clockwise (or 270 degrees counter-clockwise) points to West.

About the Navy Officer Cadet Exam

The Bangladesh Navy Officer Cadet Written Exam is the academic screening test for officer candidates. It is conducted at selection centres (such as BNS Haji Mohshin in Dhaka, or other regional bases). Candidates must clear the written exam after passing preliminary medical and viva. The written test typically includes an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test (60 marks) covering verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and a combined English and General Knowledge test (60 marks) covering grammar, vocabulary, translation, current affairs, Bangladesh history, and navy-specific details. Shortlisted candidates are sent to the Inter Services Selection Board (ISSB) for four days of psychological, leadership, and physical tests.
