1In a certain code language, the word 'HOUSING' is coded as 'IPVTJOH'. How is the word 'FINANCE' coded in that same language?
A.GJOBODF
B.GJOBOCF
C.HKOBODF
D.GJOBPDF
Explanation: The coding pattern is +1 shift for each letter: H->I, O->P, U->V, S->T, I->J, N->O, G->H. Applying the same rule (+1 shift) to 'FINANCE' yields: F->G, I->J, N->O, A->B, N->O, C->D, E->F, which is GJOBODF.
2Introducing a photograph, a woman says: 'He is the only son of my mother's only daughter-in-law.' How is the man in the photograph related to the woman's husband?
A.Brother
B.Son
C.Father
D.Husband
Explanation: The father-in-law of a woman's husband is the woman's own father. The only son of the woman's father is the woman's brother. Therefore, the man is the brother of the woman.
3A person starts from their office and walks 3 km East, then turns right and walks 4 km. Next, they turn left and walk 2 km, and finally turn left and walk 8 km to reach the National Housing Bank branch. How far and in which direction is the branch from their starting point?
A.sqrt(41) km North-East
B.5 km North-East
C.sqrt(29) km South-East
D.sqrt(41) km South-East
Explanation: Let's track the coordinates starting from (0,0): 1. Office: (0,0) 2. Walks 3 km East -> (3,0) 3. Turns right (South) and walks 4 km -> (3, -4) 4. Turns left (East) and walks 2 km -> (5, -4) 5. Turns left (North) and walks 8 km -> (5, 4) Distance = sqrt((5-0)^2 + (4-0)^2) = sqrt(25 + 16) = sqrt(41) km. Since both x and y are positive, the direction is North-East. Hence, sqrt(41) km North-East.
4Statements: All debentures are bonds. No bond is a equity share. Some equity shares are preference shares. Conclusions: I. No debenture is a equity share. II. Some preference shares are bonds.
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: Since 'All debentures are bonds' and 'No bond is an equity share', no debenture can overlap with equity shares (Conclusion I is true). 'Some equity shares are preference shares', and 'No bond is an equity share', but preference shares can be independent of bonds, so 'Some preference shares are bonds' is not necessarily true (Conclusion II does not follow). Thus, only conclusion I follows.
5Statements: H >= G = F < E <= D; F > C >= B. Conclusions: I. D > C. II. H >= B.
A.Only conclusion I follows
B.Only conclusion II follows
C.Either conclusion I or II follows
D.Both conclusions I and II follow
Explanation: Conclusion I (D > C): Combine F < E <= D to get F < D, and F > C to get C < F. Chaining gives C < F < D, so D > C. Conclusion I follows. Conclusion II (H >= B): Chain H >= G = F > C >= B to get H > B. Since H > B, it is also true that H >= B. Conclusion II follows. Both conclusions I and II follow.
6A number sorting machine, when given an input line of numbers, rearranges them following a step-by-step rule. Input: 84 18 29 65 37 52. Step 1: 18 84 29 65 37 52. Step 2: 18 29 84 65 37 52. Step 3: 18 29 37 84 65 52. If this pattern continues, what will be Step 5 for the input?
A.18 29 37 52 65 84
B.18 29 37 52 84 65
C.18 29 37 65 52 84
D.18 29 37 84 52 65
Explanation: The machine places the next smallest number into its position from left to right, one number per step. Input: 84 18 29 65 37 52 Step 1: 18 84 29 65 37 52 (18 placed in 1st position) Step 2: 18 29 84 65 37 52 (29 placed in 2nd position) Step 3: 18 29 37 84 65 52 (37 placed in 3rd position) Step 4: 18 29 37 52 84 65 (52 placed in 4th position) Step 5: 18 29 37 52 65 84 (65 placed in 5th position) Step 5 is the fully sorted array: 18 29 37 52 65 84.
7What is the relation between P and T based on the statements: 'P is the brother of Q. Q is the daughter of R. R is the spouse of S. S is the father of T.'?
A.P is the brother of T
B.P is the cousin of T
C.P is the brother-in-law of T
D.P is the uncle of T
Explanation: Let's map: P is brother (+) of Q. Q is daughter (-) of R. S is spouse of R, so R and S are parents of P and Q. Since S is the father (+) of T, T is also a child of R and S. Since P is a male child of R and S, P must be the brother of T.
8Each of five bank officers (A, B, C, D, E) has a different number of years of experience. C has more experience than A but less than D. B has more experience than E but less than A. Who has the highest number of years of experience?
A.D
B.C
C.A
D.Cannot be determined
Explanation: Let's arrange the officers according to their experience: 1) 'C has more experience than A but less than D' => D > C > A 2) 'B has more experience than E but less than A' => A > B > E Combining the two: D > C > A > B > E. Thus, D has the highest number of years of experience.
9Statements: Some files are records. All records are accounts. Some accounts are reports. Conclusions: I. Some files are accounts. II. Some records are reports.
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: Since 'Some files are records' and 'All records are accounts', the files that are records must also be accounts. Thus, 'Some files are accounts' (Conclusion I) is definitely true. 'Some accounts are reports' and 'All records are accounts', but records and reports do not have any definite overlap. Hence, 'Some records are reports' (Conclusion II) is not definitely true. Therefore, only conclusion I follows.
10A set of five numbers is given: 483, 725, 916, 354, 628. If the first and second digits of each number are interchanged, which of the following will be the third highest number?
A.628
B.483
C.725
D.354
Explanation: Let's perform the interchange of first and second digits: - 483 becomes 843 - 725 becomes 275 - 916 becomes 196 - 354 becomes 534 - 628 becomes 268 Now, list the interchanged numbers in descending order: 1. 843 (from 483) 2. 534 (from 354) 3. 275 (from 725) 4. 268 (from 628) 5. 196 (from 916) The third highest number in the interchanged list is 275, which belongs to the original number 725.
