A.NGCTP

B.MGCSP

C.NHDUQ

Explanation: Each letter in the word is shifted forward by two positions in the alphabet: L (+2) = N, E (+2) = G, A (+2) = C, R (+2) = T, N (+2) = P.

2Pointing to a man, a woman says: 'He is the only son of the wife of my father's only son.' How is the man related to the woman?

A.Son

B.Nephew

C.Brother

D.Brother-in-law

Explanation: The woman's father's only son is her brother. The wife of her brother is her sister-in-law. The only son of her sister-in-law is her brother's son, which makes him her nephew.

3A person walks 10 km towards North. From there, he walks 6 km towards South. Then, he walks 3 km towards East. How far and in which direction is he now with reference to his starting point?

A.5 km North-East

B.5 km South-East

C.7 km North-East

D.7 km South-West

Explanation: The person walks 10 km North and then 6 km South, resulting in a net displacement of 4 km North. Walking 3 km East completes a right-angled triangle with sides 4 km and 3 km. Distance = sqrt(4^2 + 3^2) = 5 km in the North-East direction.

4Find the missing number in the following sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ?

A.95

B.111

C.127

D.129

Explanation: The pattern is (previous term * 2) + 1. Following this, the next term is (63 * 2) + 1 = 127. Alternatively, the differences between terms are powers of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32, 64), so 63 + 64 = 127.

5Choose the word that completes the analogy: Giant : Dwarf :: Genius : ?

A.Wicked

B.Idiot

C.Wise

D.Creative

Explanation: Giant and Dwarf are antonyms. Similarly, the antonym of Genius is Idiot.

A.B

B.C

C.D

D.E

Explanation: If we place F at position 0, B is between F and C, so B is at 5 and C is at 4. D is two places to the right of F, which places D at position 2. A is two places to the left of E, placing E at 3 and A at 1. The opposite of position 1 is 4, which is occupied by C.

7Statements: (I) All pens are cups. (II) All cups are plates. Conclusions: (1) All pens are plates. (2) Some plates are pens. Which of the conclusions logically follow?

A.Only Conclusion 1 follows

B.Only Conclusion 2 follows

C.Neither Conclusion 1 nor 2 follows

D.Both Conclusion 1 and Conclusion 2 follow

Explanation: Since all pens are cups, and all cups are plates, the set of pens is entirely inside the set of plates, making Conclusion 1 correct. Because there is a non-empty intersection, some plates are pens, making Conclusion 2 also correct.

8Statement: The percentage of the national income shared by the top 10 percent of households in India has increased. Conclusions: (I) The economy of India is growing faster. (II) Income inequality is widening in India. Which of the conclusions follows?

A.Only Conclusion I follows

B.Only Conclusion II follows

C.Both I and II follow

D.Neither I nor II follows

Explanation: An increase in the share of national income held by the top 10% of households directly indicates that wealth is concentrating, thus income inequality is widening. It does not provide any conclusive information about the overall GDP growth rate of the economy.

9Which of the following Venn diagrams best represents the relationship among: Dogs, Pets, and Cats?

A.Three mutually intersecting circles

B.Two separate non-intersecting circles, both partially intersecting with a third central circle

C.One circle completely enclosed inside another, with a third circle intersecting both

D.Three completely separate non-intersecting circles

Explanation: Some dogs are pets, and some cats are pets. However, no dog can be a cat. Thus, the circles for Dogs and Cats do not overlap, but both intersect with the central circle representing Pets.
