1Select the related word from the given alternatives: Doctor : Stethoscope :: Sculptor : ?
A.Anvil
B.Harrow
C.Scalpel
D.Chisel
Explanation: A doctor uses a stethoscope as their primary tool to perform their profession. Similarly, a sculptor uses a chisel to carve and shape stone or wood as their primary tool.
2If in a certain code language, 'COLD' is coded as 'DPME', how will 'WARM' be coded in that same language?
A.XBSN
B.VZQZ
C.YCTO
D.XBTN
Explanation: The coding pattern is a simple shift of +1 for each letter in the alphabet: C (+1) -> D, O (+1) -> P, L (+1) -> M, D (+1) -> E. Applying the same rule to WARM: W (+1) -> X, A (+1) -> B, R (+1) -> S, M (+1) -> N.
3Find the missing number in the given series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
A.36
B.40
C.42
D.46
Explanation: The differences between consecutive terms are increasing consecutive even numbers: 6 - 2 = 4; 12 - 6 = 6; 20 - 12 = 8; 30 - 20 = 10. The next difference must be 12. Thus, 30 + 12 = 42. Alternatively, the series represents n^2 + n: 1^2+1=2, 2^2+2=6, 3^2+3=12, 4^2+4=20, 5^2+5=30, 6^2+6=42.
4Choose the word which is least like the other words in the group.
A.Mercury
B.Venus
C.Moon
D.Mars
Explanation: Mercury, Venus, and Mars are planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun. The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, not a planet.
5Pointing to a lady in a photograph, a man said, 'Her mother is the only daughter of my mother-in-law.' How is the lady related to the man?
A.Sister
B.Wife
C.Mother
D.Daughter
Explanation: The 'only daughter of my mother-in-law' is the man's wife. Since the lady's mother is the man's wife, the lady is the man's daughter.
6A man walks 5 km towards the East, then turns right and walks 4 km. He then turns left and walks 5 km. Which direction is he facing now?
A.North
B.South
C.East
D.West
Explanation: The man starts facing East. Turning right changes his direction to South. Turning left from South points him back towards the East. Thus, he is facing East at the end.
7Read the statements and conclusions, then choose the correct option. Statements: 1. All pens are books. 2. Some books are pencils. Conclusions: I. Some pens are pencils. II. Some pencils are books.
A.Only conclusion I follows
B.Both conclusions I and II follow
C.Neither conclusion I nor II follows
D.Only conclusion II follows
Explanation: Since some books are pencils, it is necessarily true that some pencils are books (immediate conversion of a particular affirmative statement). However, there is no direct link establishing that pens must overlap with pencils. Therefore, conclusion II follows, but conclusion I does not.
8If 'PRIME' is coded as 'RTKOG' in a certain code language, how will 'SWEET' be coded in that same language?
A.UYGGV
B.UXGGU
C.TYDDS
D.VZFGU
Explanation: Each letter is shifted forward by 2 positions in alphabetical order: P (+2) -> R, R (+2) -> T, I (+2) -> K, M (+2) -> O, E (+2) -> G. Applying this to SWEET: S (+2) -> U, W (+2) -> Y, E (+2) -> G, E (+2) -> G, T (+2) -> V. Hence, the code is UYGGV.
9Find the missing letter in the alphabetical series: A, C, F, J, O, ?
A.T
B.V
C.W
D.U
Explanation: The positions of the letters in the alphabet are: A (1), C (3), F (6), J (10), O (15). The differences between consecutive letters increase by 1: 1 (+2) -> 3, 3 (+3) -> 6, 6 (+4) -> 10, 10 (+5) -> 15. The next step must add 6 to 15, yielding 21, which corresponds to the letter U.
10If '+' means '-', '-' means '*', '*' means '/' and '/' means '+', then evaluate: 15 - 3 + 10 / 5 * 5
A.36
B.45
C.40
D.30
Explanation: Substitute the mathematical operators as defined: 15 - 3 + 10 / 5 * 5 becomes 15 * 3 - 10 + 5 / 5. According to BODMAS rules, perform division first: 5 / 5 = 1. Then multiplication: 15 * 3 = 45. Finally, perform addition and subtraction: 45 - 10 + 1 = 35 + 1 = 36.
