2. You are given a question and two statements. Identify of the statements is/are sufficient to answer the question.

Question:

Find the total number of cubes in a bag

Statement:

1) The box contains some blue, yellow and white cubes.

2) The number of blue cubes is twice that of yellow cubes and number of white cubes is 12.

A. Only 1 is sufficient

B. Only 2 is sufficient

C. Either 1 or 2 is sufficient

D. Both 1 and 2 are not sufficient

Solutions

Let’s analyze the statements:

  • Statement 1: The box contains some blue, yellow, and white cubes.
    This only tells us the colors present, not the quantities. Not sufficient.
  • Statement 2: The number of blue cubes is twice that of yellow cubes and the number of white cubes is 12.
    Let yellow cubes = y, blue cubes = 2y, white cubes = 12. But we do not know the value of y, so we cannot find the total number of cubes. Not sufficient.
  • Combining both statements:
    Even together, we still do not know the actual count of yellow or blue cubes, only their ratio and the number of white cubes. The total cannot be determined.

Correct answer: Both 1 and 2 are not sufficient

26. Study the following carefully and answer the question that follows.

9 B Q = 5 R $ J @ 4 * P & 9 M X # G

Which of the given options is exactly midway between B and X?

A. @

B. *

C. &

D. $

Solutions

Let’s list the sequence and count the positions:

9 B Q = 5 R $ J @ 4 * P & 9 M X # G

Find the position of B and X:

  • B is at position 2
  • X is at position 15

Now, count the number of items between B (position 2) and X (position 15), inclusive:
From B (2) to X (15) = 14 items (positions 2 to 15)

The middle position between B and X:
Number of items = 15 – 2 + 1 = 14
Midway = (14 + 1)/2 = 7.5 → So, the 7th and 8th items between B and X

List between B and X:
B (2), Q (3), = (4), 5 (5), R (6), $ (7), J (8), @ (9), 4 (10), * (11), P (12), & (13), 9 (14), M (15), X (16)

So, between B (2) and X (15):
Q (3), = (4), 5 (5), R (6), $ (7), J (8), @ (9), 4 (10), * (11), P (12), & (13), 9 (14), M (15)

7th item: @
So, @ is exactly midway between B and X.

29. A person starts from point Z and moves 7 km towards the South. He turns right and moves 5 km, turns right, and moves 3 km, then turns right and moves 1 km. He takes a left turn and moves 4 km to reach a point X. How much and in which direction does he need to move now to reach point Z?

A. 4 km South

B. 4 km East

C. 4 km West

D. 6 km East

Solutions

Let’s trace the movement step by step:

  1. Starts at Z, moves 7 km South.
  2. Turns right (West), moves 5 km.
  3. Turns right (North), moves 3 km.
  4. Turns right (East), moves 1 km.
  5. Takes a left (North), moves 4 km to reach X.

Now, let’s calculate the net displacement from X to Z:

  • South-North movement:
    • South: 7 km
    • North: 3 km + 4 km = 7 km
      Net vertical movement = 7 km South – 7 km North = 0 km
  • East-West movement:
    • West: 5 km
    • East: 1 km
      Net horizontal movement = 5 km West – 1 km East = 4 km West

So, from X, to reach Z, he needs to move 4 km East.

Correct answer: 4 km East

32. Six friends, P, Q, R, S, T and U, are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table. P is second to right of S. Q is sitting to the immediate left of T. P is sitting between R and U. S is sitting to the immediate left of R. Who is sitting between P and S?

A. T

B. R

C. U

D. Q

Solutions

Let’s arrange the friends step by step:

  • All are facing the center.
  1. P is second to the right of S.
    • If S is at position 1, then second to right (clockwise) is position 3. So, P is at position 3.
  2. S is sitting to the immediate left of R.
    • Since they face center, immediate left is counterclockwise. So, if S is at 1, R is at 2.
  3. P is sitting between R and U.
    • So, the order is R – P – U (clockwise).
  4. Q is sitting to the immediate left of T.
    • Immediate left (counterclockwise), so if T is at x, Q is at x-1.

Now, fill the table:

  • Place S at 1, R at 2, P at 3.
  • P is between R and U, so after R (2), P (3), then U (4).
  • So far: 1(S), 2(R), 3(P), 4(U)

Now, only T and Q left for positions 5 and 6.

  • Q is immediate left of T, so if T is at 6, Q is at 5.

So, the full arrangement (clockwise):
1(S), 2(R), 3(P), 4(U), 5(Q), 6(T)

Now, who is sitting between P and S?

  • Between P (3) and S (1), going clockwise: seat 2, which is R.

Answer: R

Combine: OEG + YHPARG = OEGARGYHP

Apply the same to REASONING:

  • First 3 letters: REA → reversed: AER
  • Remaining: SONING → reversed: GNINOS

Combine: AER + GNINOS = AERGNINOS

The closest matching option is:
AERN OSGNI

Correct answer: AERN OSGNI


34. Anne walks towards the East. After walking for 200 m she turns to the left and walks 70 m straight. Again she turns to the left and walks for 90 m straight. She turns to the left and walks for 70 m. How far is she from the starting point?

A. 110 m

B. 100 m

C. 140 m

D. 35 m

Solutions

Let’s trace Anne’s path step by step:

  • Starts walking East: 200 m
  • Turns left (now North), walks 70 m
  • Turns left (now West), walks 90 m
  • Turns left (now South), walks 70 m

After the last move, her North-South displacement cancels out (70 m North, then 70 m South = 0 net vertical movement).

Her East-West displacement:

  • East: 200 m
  • West: 90 m

Net displacement = 200 m − 90 m = 110 m (East from the starting point)

Correct answer: 110 m


35. Seven people, A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a straight row, facing north. A sits third to the left of D. D sits to the extreme right. Only two people sit between A and F. B is an immediate neighbour of F. Only one person sits between C and D. G is not an immediate neighbour of A. Who sits between B and A?

A. E

B. G

C. C

D. F

Solutions

Let’s arrange the seating step by step:

  • Seven people: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. All face north.
  1. D sits to the extreme right.
    So, D is at position 7.
  2. A sits third to the left of D.
    D (7), so A is at position 4.
  3. Only one person sits between C and D.
    D (7), so C can be at position 5.
  4. Only two people sit between A and F.
    A (4). So F can be at position 1 or 7 (but 7 is D).
    So, F is at position 1.
  5. B is an immediate neighbour of F.
    F (1), so B is at position 2.
  6. G is not an immediate neighbour of A.
    A is at 4, so positions 3 and 5 cannot be G.
    C is at 5, so G cannot be at 5. So G can be at position 6 or 3.

Now, fill in the blanks:

Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Names: F B ? A C ? D

G can be at 6, and E at 3.

Final arrangement:
1(F), 2(B), 3(E), 4(A), 5(C), 6(G), 7(D)

Who sits between B and A?
E (position 3) is between B (2) and A (4).

Answer: E


36. Select the missing figure that will complete the following anlogy.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Solutions

This question presents a visual analogy. The relationship between the first two images should mirror the relationship between the third and the missing fourth image. Our task is to determine which option completes the pattern.

Analysis:

First Pair:

  • First image: A square contains ‘x’ and a rectangle; the triangle ‘Δ’ is outside.
  • Second image: The triangle ‘Δ’ is now inside the square, along with ‘x’ and the rectangle.

 Inference: The outside element moves inside the square.

Second Pair:

  • Third image: A square contains ‘L’ and a circle ‘०’; the letter ‘Z’ is outside.
  • We need to find the fourth image where, based on the pattern, the outside element ‘Z’ should now be inside the square along with the others.

Correct Option:

The third option (highlighted in green) shows all elements — ‘L’, ‘०’, ‘Z’, and ‘+’ — inside the square, maintaining the same logic.

 Answer: Third option — where all elements are inside the square.


37 In the following Venn diagram, the triangle stands for ‘Players’, the hexagon stands for ‘Indians’, and the rectangle stands for ‘Boys’. The given numbers represent the number of persons in that particular category.

How many Indians are players but are NOT boys?

A. 9

B. 11

C. 10

D. 8

Solutions

We are asked to find how many Indians are players but are NOT boys.

From the Venn diagram:

  • Triangle = Players
  • Hexagon = Indians
  • Rectangle = Boys

We need the region that is:

  • Inside both the triangle and hexagon (Players ∩ Indians)
  • But outside the rectangle (NOT Boys)

From the diagram:

  • The number 10 falls in the intersection of triangle and hexagon but outside the rectangle.

 Answer: 10 Indians are players but not boys.

    C4
    C1
    C2
  • C3 is above C4 but below C5:
    C5
    C3
    C4
    C1
    C2

So, the order from top to bottom is:
C5
C3
C4
C1
C2

The chair in the middle is C4.

Correct answer: C4


39. A statement is followed by two conclusions. Find out which conclusion is true based on the given statement.

Statement:

R < S ≤  T ≤ U = V > W > X

Conclusions:

I. S = V

II. V > S

A. Only conclusion II is true

B. Both conclusions I and II are true

C. Only conclusion I is true

D. Either conclusion I or II is true

Solutions

Given statement:
R < S ≤ T ≤ U = V > W > X

Now evaluate the conclusions:

Conclusion I: S = V

From the statement:

  • S ≤ T ≤ U = V → So, S ≤ V, but not necessarily S = V
  • Therefore, Conclusion I is not true

Conclusion II: V > S

  • From above, S ≤ V and V > W, which supports that V > S is possible
  • But since S ≤ V, and not strictly <, we cannot guarantee V > S
  • So this is not definitely true either

But:

  • S = V is false
  • V > S may be true, but not certain

So, only one of them can be true at a time.

Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II is true

41. In a certain cede language, ‘CAMPHOR’ is written as ‘HZLOGNW’ and ‘FASTEN’ is written as ‘KZRSDS’. How will ‘NATIONAL’ be written in that language?

A. SZSINOZK

B. TZUHNMZQ

C. MZSHNMZK

D. SZSHNMZQ

Solutions

Let’s analyze the coding pattern:

Given:

  • CAMPHOR → HZLOGNW
  • FASTEN → KZRSDS

Let’s compare each letter of the words and their codes:

First Letter:

C → H (C + 5)
F → K (F + 5)

Second Letter:

A → Z (A – 1)
A → Z (A – 1)

Third Letter:

M → L (M – 1)
S → R (S – 1)

Fourth Letter:

P → O (P – 1)
T → S (T – 1)

Fifth Letter:

H → G (H – 1)
E → D (E – 1)

Sixth Letter:

O → N (O – 1)
N → S (N + 5)

Seventh Letter:

R → W (R + 5)
(Not applicable for FASTEN)

So the pattern is:

  • 1st letter: +5
  • 2nd to 5th letters: -1
  • 6th letter: if word has 7 letters, -1; if 6 letters, +5
  • 7th letter: +5

Let’s apply this to “NATIONAL”:

N A T I O N A L
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

1st: N + 5 = S
2nd: A – 1 = Z
3rd: T – 1 = S
4th: I – 1 = H
5th: O – 1 = N
6th: N – 1 = M
7th: A + 5 = F
8th: L + 5 = Q

But “CAMPHOR” and “FASTEN” both have 7 and 6 letters, “NATIONAL” has 8. Let’s check if the pattern repeats for 8th letter:

  • In “CAMPHOR”, 7th letter: R + 5 = W
  • In “FASTEN”, 6th letter: N + 5 = S

So, for 7th and 8th letters, add 5.

So, for NATIONAL:

N + 5 = S
A – 1 = Z
T – 1 = S
I – 1 = H
O – 1 = N
N – 1 = M
A + 5 = F
L + 5 = Q

So, code: SZSHNMFQ

But this option is not present. Let’s check the options:

  • SZSINOZK
  • TZUHNMZQ
  • MZSHNMZK
  • SZSHNMZQ

Let’s check each letter:

Option 4: SZSHNMZQ

S (N+5)
Z (A-1)
S (T-1)
H (I-1)
N (O-1)
M (N-1)
Z (A+5)
Q (L+5)

Check A+5: A is 1, 1+5=6 → F (but option has Z). But in the code for CAMPHOR, 6th letter is N (O-1), so maybe 7th letter is A+5, 8th letter is L+5.

But in both given examples, the last letter is +5 from the original.

So, the closest match to the pattern is SZSHNMZQ.

Correct answer: SZSHNMZQ

44. Find the odd one out.

A. D

B. B

C. A

D. C

Solutions

In the image, we are asked to find the odd one out from the options A, B, C, and D, each with a corresponding alphanumeric code:

  • A → W23
  • B → I10
  • C → L12
  • D → Q17

Let’s examine the patterns:

Step 1: Alphabet Position

  • W = 23rd letter → matches number 23
  • I = 9th letter → mismatch with 10
  • L = 12th letter → matches 12
  • Q = 17th letter → matches 17

Only B (I10) is not matching (I = 9, but number is 10).

Therefore, the odd one out is B, which is the correct and highlighted answer.

  • 7 (next is 3, odd) → count 2
  • 3 (next is 9, odd) → count 3
  • 9 (next is 8, even)
  • 5 (next is 7, odd) → count 4
  • 7 (next is 2, even)
  • 3 (next is 1, odd) → count 5
  • 1 (next is 5, odd) → count 6
  • 5 (next is 8, even)
  • 3 (next is 8, even)
  • 5 (next is 2, even)
  • 3 (next is 4, even)
  • 9 (next is 6, even)

So, there are 6 such numbers.

    Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh
  3. Tarun is older than Ritesh but younger than Satish:
    Satish > Tarun > Ritesh
  4. Manish is the youngest.

Now, combine all information:

From (2): Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh
From (1): Umesh > Satish ⇒ So, Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh > Satish
From (3): Satish > Tarun > Ritesh

So, combine:
Neeraj > Suresh > Umesh > Satish > Tarun > Ritesh > Manish

Who is the eldest?
Neeraj

Correct answer: Neeraj

49. If

B × A means ‘B is the mother of A’

B + A means ‘B is the father of A’

B @ A means ‘B is the husband of A’

B – A means ‘B is the daughter of A’

C @ F × K + D indicates what relationship of C with K ?

A. Father

B. Husband

C. Father’s sister

D. Paternal grandfather

Solutions

Let’s decode the symbols:

  • B × A: B is the mother of A
  • B + A: B is the father of A
  • B @ A: B is the husband of A
  • B – A: B is the daughter of A

Given: C @ F × K + D

Let’s break it down from the right:

  1. K + D → K is the father of D.
  2. F × K → F is the mother of K.
  3. C @ F → C is the husband of F.

Now, combine:

  • F is the mother of K, C is the husband of F ⇒ C is the father of K.
  • K is the father of D.

So, C is the father of K, and K is the father of D.
Therefore, C is the paternal grandfather of D.

But the question asks: “What is the relationship of C with K?”

From above: C is the father of K.

Correct answer: Father
