1If in a certain code language, GUARD is written as HVBSE, how is SECURITY written in that language?
A.TFDVSJUZ
B.TFDRSJUZ
C.SFDVSJUZ
D.TFDVSJTY
Explanation: In this coding scheme, each letter is replaced by its succeeding letter in alphabetical order (G+1=H, U+1=V, A+1=B, R+1=S, D+1=E). Applying this rule to SECURITY gives S+1=T, E+1=F, C+1=D, U+1=V, R+1=S, I+1=J, T+1=U, and Y+1=Z, resulting in TFDVSJUZ.
2Pointing to a man in a photograph, a woman says: 'He is the only son of my father's only son.' How is the man related to the woman?
A.Brother
B.Son
C.Nephew
D.Uncle
Explanation: The woman's 'father's only son' must be the woman's brother (since he is the only son of her father). The only son of this brother is the woman's brother's son, which makes the man in the photograph her nephew.
3A security guard walks 10 meters North, turns right and walks 15 meters, then turns right again and walks 10 meters. How far is he from his starting point?
A.10 meters
B.15 meters
C.25 meters
D.35 meters
Explanation: The guard's path forms three sides of a rectangle. The first leg is 10m North, the second leg is 15m East, and the third leg is 10m South. This brings him directly opposite to the starting point, exactly 15 meters to the East.
4Safe is to Lock as Document is to ________.
A.Printer
B.Password
C.Paper
D.Library
Explanation: This is a security-based analogy. A safe is secured by a lock, and in the digital world, a document is secured by a password.
5Find the missing number in the series: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ?
A.40
B.45
C.49
D.54
Explanation: The numbers in the series are consecutive perfect squares starting from 2 squared: 2^2=4, 3^2=9, 4^2=16, 5^2=25, 6^2=36. The next number in the sequence must be 7^2, which is 49.
6If the alphabet is written in reverse order (Z to A), which letter will be the 5th letter to the right of the 10th letter from the left?
A.L
B.M
C.N
D.O
Explanation: In the reverse alphabet, the 10th letter from the left corresponds to the 17th letter (26 - 10 + 1) in the normal alphabet, which is Q. Moving 5 positions to the right in the reverse series means moving towards A, which reduces the alphabetical position. Thus, we calculate 17 - 5 = 12, which corresponds to the letter L.
7Choose the word which is least like the other words in the group: Rifle, Pistol, Shield, Revolver.
A.Rifle
B.Pistol
C.Shield
D.Revolver
Explanation: A rifle, pistol, and revolver are all offensive weapons used for firing bullets. A shield, on the other hand, is a defensive piece of armor designed to block attacks.
8In a row of 30 security guards, Ramesh is 12th from the left end. What is his position from the right end?
A.18th
B.19th
C.20th
D.21st
Explanation: To find the position from the right end, we use the formula: Position from Right = Total number of people - Position from Left + 1. Substituting the values, we get 30 - 12 + 1 = 19th position.
9If '+' means 'multiplied by', '-' means 'added to', 'x' means 'divided by', and '/' means 'subtracted from', then what is the value of 8 + 4 - 6 / 3?
A.32
B.35
C.38
D.41
Explanation: By replacing the original operators with their new meanings: the expression 8 + 4 - 6 / 3 becomes 8 * 4 + 6 - 3. Applying the BODMAS rule, we calculate the multiplication first: 8 * 4 = 32. Then we add: 32 + 6 = 38. Finally, we subtract: 38 - 3 = 35.
10In a code language, 'red' is called 'blue', 'blue' is called 'white', 'white' is called 'black', and 'black' is called 'yellow'. What is the color of milk in this code language?
A.white
B.blue
C.black
D.yellow
Explanation: The actual color of milk is white. According to the given code language, 'white' is called 'black'. Therefore, the color of milk in this code is black.
