1In a certain code, each letter is shifted one place forward in the alphabet. How is 'BRIGHT' written?
A.CSJHIU
B.CSJHJU
C.AQHFGS
D.CTJHIU
Explanation: Shift each letter +1: B→C, R→S, I→J, G→H, H→I, T→U, giving CSJHIU.
2If each letter of a word is increased by 1 in the alphabet, 'LOGIC' becomes 'MPHJD'. What does 'BRAIN' become?
A.CSBJO
B.CSBJP
C.AQZHM
D.CSBIO
Explanation: Add 1 to each letter: B→C, R→S, A→B, I→J, N→O → CSBJO.
3In a code, '253' means 'books are rare', '546' means 'man is rare', and '378' means 'buy good books'. Which digit stands for 'books'?
A.2
B.5
C.3
D.7
Explanation: Sentences with 'books' are 253 and 378; their only common digit is 3, so 3 codes 'books'.
4Five friends A, B, C, D and E sit in a row facing north. A sits at the extreme left. C sits second to the right of A. B sits between C and D. E sits between A and C. Who sits in the middle?
A.A
B.B
C.C
D.E
Explanation: A is at seat 1. C second to the right of A → seat 3. E between A and C → seat 2. B between C and D → seats 3-4-5 are C, B, D. Middle seat 3 is C.
5Six people A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a circular table facing the centre. A sits opposite D. B sits to the immediate right of A. C sits to the immediate left of D. Who sits opposite B?
A.C
B.E
C.F
D.Cannot be determined
Explanation: A opposite D and B immediate right of A fix B relative to A. C immediate left of D fixes C relative to D. Opposite B could be either E or F depending on how the remaining pair is seated, so it cannot be uniquely determined.
6Statements: All pens are books. Some books are tables. Conclusions: I. Some pens are tables. II. Some books are pens. Which conclusion follows?
A.Only I follows
B.Only II follows
C.Both I and II follow
D.Neither I nor II follows
Explanation: From 'All pens are books', some books (at least the pens) are pens, so II follows. I does not follow because the books that are tables need not overlap with pens.
7Statements: Some doctors are poets. All poets are singers. Conclusions: I. Some doctors are singers. II. All singers are poets. Which follows?
A.Only I
B.Only II
C.Both I and II
D.Neither
Explanation: Some doctors are poets and all poets are singers, so those doctors who are poets are singers — I follows. II reverses an 'all' statement and does not follow.
8Statements: No laptop is a desktop. All desktops are servers. Conclusions: I. No laptop is a server. II. Some servers are not laptops. Which follows?
A.Only I
B.Only II
C.Either I or II
D.Both I and II
Explanation: Desktops are servers and no laptop is a desktop, so those servers that are desktops are not laptops — II follows. I does not follow because a laptop could still be a non-desktop server.
9Pointing to a photograph, a man says, 'I have no brother or sister, but that man's father is my father's son.' Whose photograph is it?
A.His own
B.His son's
C.His father's
D.His nephew's
Explanation: 'My father's son' with no siblings is the speaker himself. So 'that man's father is me' means the man in the photo is the speaker's son.
10A is the brother of B. C is the father of A. D is the brother of C. How is D related to B?
A.Father
B.Uncle
C.Brother
D.Grandfather
Explanation: C is father of A (and of B). D is brother of C, so D is paternal uncle of B.

1Drill all three skill areas equally—ATMA weights Analytical, Verbal, and Quantitative at 60 questions each
2Practise under a hard 30-minute sectional clock; you cannot borrow time across sections on test day
3For Quantitative Skills, prioritise arithmetic (percentages, ratio, profit–loss, time–work, TSD) before algebra and DI
4In Analytical Reasoning, master syllogisms, arrangements, and statement–inference first—these recur every session
5Use the official mock tests on mocktest.atmaaims.com to learn the centre-based online interface
6With −0.25 negative marking, skip low-confidence guesses; four wrongs wipe out one correct
