1If in a certain code language, 'TEACHER' is written as 'VGCEJGT', how will 'STUDENT' be written in that code?
A.UVWFGPV
B.VUVFGPU
C.UVTFGPU
D.VUVFGPV
Explanation: The coding pattern adds +2 to the alphabetical position of each letter in the word. S (+2) = U, T (+2) = V, U (+2) = W, D (+2) = F, E (+2) = G, N (+2) = P, T (+2) = V. Therefore, 'STUDENT' becomes 'UVWFGPV'.
2Find the missing number in the following number series: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ?
A.47
B.49
C.50
D.64
Explanation: The given series consists of consecutive perfect squares starting from 2. 2^2 = 4, 3^2 = 9, 4^2 = 16, 5^2 = 25, 6^2 = 36. The next number in the series is 7^2 = 49.
3Choose the word which is least like the other words in the group (odd one out).
A.Cow

Explanation: Cow, Goat, and Buffalo are herbivorous domestic animals, whereas Lion is a carnivorous wild animal.
4If 'A' is the brother of 'B', and 'B' is the sister of 'C', how is 'C' related to 'A'?
A.Brother or Sister
B.Uncle
C.Father
D.Nephew
Explanation: A, B, and C are siblings. Since B is the sister of C and A is the brother of B, A, B, and C share the same parents. However, the gender of C is not specified, so C could be either a brother or a sister to A.
5If tomorrow is Tuesday, what day was it three days before yesterday?
A.Wednesday
B.Thursday
C.Friday

7Which of the following Venn diagrams represents the relationship between: India, Rajasthan, and Jaipur?
A.Three intersecting circles
B.One large circle enclosing two separate small circles
C.Three concentric circles
D.Two intersecting circles inside a third circle
Explanation: Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan, and Rajasthan is a state in India. Therefore, Jaipur is entirely within Rajasthan, and Rajasthan is entirely within India, which is best represented by three concentric circles.
8A man walks 5 km towards South, then turns right and walks 3 km. He again turns left and walks 5 km. In which direction is he now from his starting point?
A.South
B.South-West
C.West
D.South-East
Explanation: Starting from a point, walking 5 km South puts him South. Turning right (West) and walking 3 km puts him South-West. Turning left (South) and walking 5 km keeps him in the South-West quadrant relative to the starting point.

A.15
B.17
C.11
D.19
Explanation: Substituting the operators as specified: 16 + 8 ÷ 4 × 2 – 3. Following BODMAS rules: Division first: 8 ÷ 4 = 2. The expression becomes: 16 + 2 × 2 – 3. Multiplication next: 2 × 2 = 4. The expression becomes: 16 + 4 – 3. Addition and subtraction: 20 – 3 = 17.
10Complete the letter series: BDF, HJL, NPR, ?
A.TVX
B.TUV
C.UWZ
D.SUW
Explanation: Each letter in the triplets is increased by 2 positions: B(+2) = D, D(+2) = F. The first letter of each successive triplet increases by 6 positions: B(+6) = H, H(+6) = N. Thus, the next triplet starts with N(+6) = T. The corresponding letters are T(+2) = V and V(+2) = X, yielding 'TVX'.

Rajasthan BSTC / Pre D.El.Ed Study Tips from Top Performers

1Dedicate ample time to Rajasthan General Knowledge (Art, Culture, History, and Geography) as it is vast and highly specific.
2Solve previous years' question papers to grasp the pattern of Mental Ability questions and practice time management.
3In Teaching Aptitude, always select options that demonstrate child-centric, positive, democratic, and constructive teaching methodologies.
4For English, focus on standard grammar rules: prepositions, tenses, article usage, active/passive voice, and direct/indirect speech.
5For Hindi, practice core grammar topics like Sandhi, Samas, Muhavare, Paryayvachi, and spelling/sentence corrections.
6Take timed mock tests because managing 200 questions in 180 minutes offline can be challenging.
