1If 'TIGER' is coded as 'SHFDQ' in a certain code language, how will 'HORSE' be coded in that same language?

A.GNQRD

B.FMPQC

C.GNPQD

D.HMQRD

Explanation: In this coding scheme, each letter of the word is replaced by the letter that immediately precedes it in the alphabetical order (minus 1 position). Thus, T (-1) = S, I (-1) = H, G (-1) = F, E (-1) = D, R (-1) = Q. Applying the same rule to 'HORSE': H (-1) = G, O (-1) = N, R (-1) = Q, S (-1) = R, E (-1) = D. This gives the coded word 'GNQRD'.

2Find the odd one out from the given group of words: Ludo, Chess, Carrom, Football.

A.Ludo

B.Chess

C.Carrom

D.Football

Explanation: Ludo, Chess, and Carrom are all indoor board games that do not require an open playground. Football, on the other hand, is an outdoor physical sport played on a large grassy field, making it the odd one out.

3A man starts walking towards the East. After walking 10 meters, he turns left and walks 5 meters. Then he turns right and walks 10 meters. In which direction is he facing now?

A.North

B.South

C.East

D.West

Explanation: Let us trace the man's movement step-by-step: 1. He starts walking East. 2. He turns left, which changes his direction to North. 3. Finally, he turns right from North, which changes his direction back to East. Therefore, he is facing the East direction at the end.

4In a certain code language, 'ROSE' is written as '6821' and 'CHAIR' is written as '73456'. How will 'SEARCH' be written in that same code language?

A.214673

B.214763

C.216473

D.214637

Explanation: This is a direct substitution code where letters have fixed numerical codes based on the words provided: R=6, O=8, S=2, E=1 from 'ROSE', and C=7, H=3, A=4, I=5, R=6 from 'CHAIR'. Extracting the letters for 'SEARCH': S=2, E=1, A=4, R=6, C=7, H=3. This gives '214673'.

5Pointing to a photograph, a man said, 'I have no brother or sister, but that man's father is my father's son.' Whose photograph was it?

A.His own

B.His son's

C.His father's

D.His nephew's

Explanation: Since the speaker has no brother or sister, 'my father's son' must refer to the speaker himself. The statement says 'that man's father is my father's son', which means 'that man's father is me'. Therefore, the man in the photograph is the speaker's son.

6Complete the number series: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ?

A.125

B.126

C.127

D.128

Explanation: The pattern of the series is that each successive number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding 1: (3 * 2) + 1 = 7; (7 * 2) + 1 = 15; (15 * 2) + 1 = 31; (31 * 2) + 1 = 63. Following this pattern, the next term is (63 * 2) + 1 = 126 + 1 = 127.

7If '+' means 'divided by', '-' means 'multiplied by', 'x' means 'minus', and '÷' means 'plus', then what is the value of: 16 - 4 + 8 x 6 ÷ 3?

A.3

B.4

C.5

D.6

Explanation: Substituting the mathematical operators as per the given instructions: 16 - 4 + 8 x 6 ÷ 3 becomes 16 * 4 / 8 - 6 + 3. Applying the BODMAS rule (Division and Multiplication first): 16 * 0.5 - 6 + 3 = 8 - 6 + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5.

8In a coded language, 'she is smart' is written as 'ka pa so', 'smart work pays' is written as 'so du na', and 'work is worship' is written as 'du pa he'. What is the code for the word 'she'?

A.ka

B.pa

C.so

D.he

Explanation: Comparing the sentences: 1. 'she is smart' (ka pa so) and 'smart work pays' (so du na) have 'smart' in common, so 'smart' = 'so'. 2. 'she is smart' (ka pa so) and 'work is worship' (du pa he) have 'is' in common, so 'is' = 'pa'. Since 'smart' is 'so' and 'is' is 'pa', the remaining word in the first sentence 'she' must be coded as 'ka'.

9Statements: I. All books are pens. II. Some pens are pencils. Conclusions: I. Some books are pencils. II. Some pens are books.

A.Only conclusion I follows

B.Only conclusion II follows

C.Both conclusions I and II follow

D.Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Explanation: Let us analyze the conclusions using Venn diagrams: 1. 'All books are pens' means the circle of Books is completely inside the circle of Pens. 2. 'Some pens are pencils' means there is an intersection between Pens and Pencils, but it does not necessarily intersect with Books. Hence, Conclusion I ('Some books are pencils') is possible but not definite, so it does not follow. 3. Since the circle of Books is inside Pens, the overlapping region of Books and Pens makes 'Some pens are books' definitely true. Thus, only conclusion II follows.

10Five friends P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting in a row facing North. P is sitting next to Q. R is sitting next to S. S is not sitting with T, who is on the extreme left end of the row. R is in the second position from the right. P is to the right of Q and T. Who is sitting in the middle position?

A.P

B.Q

C.R

D.S

Explanation: Let the 5 positions in the row from left to right be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1. T is on the extreme left, so Position 1 = T. 2. R is second from the right, so Position 4 = R. 3. R sits next to S. Thus, S can be at Position 3 or 5. But S is not sitting with T, so S cannot be at 2 (which is next to T). Thus, S is at Position 5. 4. P is sitting next to Q, and P is to the right of Q. The remaining positions are 2 and 3. Since P is next to and to the right of Q, Position 2 must be Q, and Position 3 must be P. This gives the arrangement: T, Q, P, R, S. The middle position (Position 3) is occupied by P.
