I.Some As are Cs
II.  All Cs are As
a) Only (I) follows
b) Only(II) follows.
c) Both (I) and (II) follows.
d) Neither (I) nor (II) follow.

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follow.
So, Option D.

3. If H<G=J and J>K, then which of the following is necessarily true.
I. H>K
II.  G>K
a) only (I) is true.
b) only (II) is true.
c) both (I) and (11) are true.
d) Neither (I) nor (II) are true.
Answer
H < G = J > K
(I) H > K (Not sure) (II) G > K (True).

8. Find the missing number that should come at the place of question mark (?).

a) 182 b) 184 c) 187 d) 191
Answer

9. If P means division, T means addition, M means subtraction and D means multiplication, then the value of: 8 D 1 6 P 3 2 T 1 6 D 3 2 P 6 4 is:
a) 12 b) 23 c) 6 d) 3
Answer
P -> ÷       T -> +        M -> –        P -> ×
8 D 16 P 32 T 16 D 32 P 64
=> 8 × 16 ÷ 32 + 16 × 32 ÷ 64
=> 4 + 8 = 12
So, Option A.

10. Directions: In this question, a statement is followed by two courses of action numbered 1 and 11. Consider everything in the statement to be true and decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

c) Either I or II follow
d) Neither I or II follow
Answer
Both courses of actions I and II follows. Either government should rehabilitate the affected residents of hutments/Buildings. Or, they should compensate the residents of targeted houses.
So, Option C.

11. Some have suggested a correlation between not wearing polished shoes and being lethargic– that those who don’t polish their shoes are generally lethargic than those who do.

So, Option C.

12.

a) 18 b) 11 c) 8 d) 7
Answer
sqrt(20-4) = sqrt(16) = 4
sqrt(45 – 20) = sqrt(25) = 5
sqrt(120 – 20) = sqrt(100) = 10
sqrt(90 – 26) = sqrt(64) = 8
So, Option C.

13. If DIP is coded as 172203, then what is the code for “TAKE”?
a) 07152418 b) 07142418 c) 33142418 d) 07142518
Answer

14.Two adjacent faces of a cube are painted red and out of the remaining sides, two opposite faces are painted green. The cube is then cut into 125 equal smaller cubes. How many smaller cubes will have at most two sides painted?
a) 121 b) 123 c) 117 d) 113
Answer

Total number of smaller cubes = 125.
Number of smaller cubes have 3 painted faces = 2.
Hence, number of smaller cubes have at most two painted faces = 125 – 2 = 123.
So, Option B.

15. Prashant forgot his five-digit ATM pin. However he remembers that the ATM PIN has a cube of a number in the 3rd place and prime numbers in the first and the last places. The even prime number is in the 1^st He also remembers that the digit in the 3^rd place is equal to the product of the digits in the first and the second places and the sum of the digits in the first and the second places is equal to the digit in the fourth place. The digit in the last place is half the digit in the 4^th place.
What is his ATM PIN?
a) 24863 b) 24683 c) 26483 d) 23468
Answer
Hence, required number is ‘24863’.

16. Refer to the sequence of letters given below and answer the questions that follow.
N F C I O R O O I U M N T S M C T U A A N R T 1 E I C T O A N N T I
If all the vowels from the given sequence arc removed, then which letter will be the 8th letter to the right of the 5^th letter to the left of the 10th letter from the right?
a) R b) T c) C d) S
Answer
Sequence of letters after removing all vowel.
N F C R M N T S M C T N R T C T N N T
Letter which is 8^th to the right of the 5^th to the left of the 10^th from the right end = 10 + 5 – 8 = 7^th from the right and that is letter ‘R’.
So, Option A.
