1If in a certain code language, 'COMPUTER' is written as 'RFUVQNPC', how would 'MEDICINE' be written in that same code language?

A.EOJDJEFM

B.EOJDEJFM

C.MFEJDJOE

D.EOJDJFME

Explanation: The code is obtained by reversing the word order and shifting the letters. Specifically, the first and last letters are swapped, and all inner letters are incremented by one position in the alphabet. Following this logic, 'M' and 'E' swap places, and the letters 'EDICIN' are changed to 'FEJDJF' and reversed, resulting in 'EOJDJEFM'.

2Pointing to a photograph, Vipul said, 'She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son.' How is the girl in the photograph related to Vipul?

A.Sister

Explanation: Vipul's grandfather's only son is Vipul's father. Therefore, the daughter of Vipul's father is Vipul's sister. This makes the girl in the photograph Vipul's sister.

3A man walks 5 km toward South and then turns to the right. After walking 3 km, he turns to the left and walks 5 km. In which direction is he now from his starting point?

A.South-East

B.South-West

C.North-West

D.North-East

Explanation: The man starts by walking 5 km South. Turning right means he heads West for 3 km. Turning left means he heads South again for 5 km. Overall, he has moved South and West, placing him in the South-West direction from his starting point.

4Find the missing number in the following series: 4, 9, 19, 39, 79, ?

A.119

B.139

C.159

D.169

Explanation: The pattern in the series is that each number is multiplied by 2 and then increased by 1 to get the next term. For example: 4*2+1 = 9; 9*2+1 = 19; 19*2+1 = 39; 39*2+1 = 79. Therefore, the next term is 79*2+1 = 159.

5Select the related word pair: 'Ophthalmology' is related to 'Eyes' in the same way as 'Nephrology' is related to ________.

A.Nerves

6Read the statements and decide which of the given conclusions logically follow:\nStatements:\n1. All books are pens.\n2. Some pens are pencils.\nConclusions:\nI. Some books are pencils.\nII. Some pencils are books.

A.Only conclusion I follows

B.Only conclusion II follows

C.Either I or II follows

D.Neither I nor II follows

Explanation: Since all books are pens and some pens are pencils, there is no direct connection established between books and pencils. Pencils could overlap with the portion of pens that does not contain books. Thus, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows logically.

7Based on the statement 'A > B >= C; C = D < E', which of the following conclusions is/are definitely true?\nConclusions:\nI. A > D\nII. B >= E

A.Only conclusion I is true

B.Only conclusion II is true

C.Both conclusion I and II are true

D.Neither conclusion I nor II is true

Explanation: From the statements, we know A > B >= C and C = D. This gives A > B >= D, which implies A > D (Conclusion I is true). However, B >= C and C < E, so the relationship between B and E cannot be determined (Conclusion II is not definitely true).

8Six people A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting in a circle facing the center. B is sitting between F and C. A is sitting between E and D. F is sitting to the immediate left of D. Who is sitting between A and F?

A.B

B.C

C.D

D.E

Explanation: Let's arrange them in a circle. F is to the immediate left of D. B is between F and C, so the order is C-B-F-D. A is between E and D, which means the order continues as D-A-E-C. This completes the circular arrangement as C-B-F-D-A-E (clockwise). Looking at the arrangement, D is sitting between A and F.

9A is the father of C and D is the son of B. E is the brother of A. If C is the sister of D, how is B related to E?

A.Sister

B.Sister-in-law

C.Mother

D.Wife

Explanation: Since C is the sister of D and D is the son of B, it means C is the daughter of B. We are given A is the father of C. Therefore, B must be the mother of C and the wife of A. Since E is the brother of A, B (A's wife) is E's sister-in-law.
