17. Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3

Question:

If it is possible to make a meaningful word with the third, twelfth and twenty-first element, then which of the following will be the first letter of that word? If no such word can be made, give Y as you answer and if more than one such words can be made, give M as you answer.

A. X

B. M

C. B

D. O

E. Y

Solution

Given series:

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

The third, twelfth and twenty-first element are X, O & B respectively. The word formed by three letters is: BOX. We can make only one meaningful word.

Hence, the first letter of that word is B.

18. Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3

Question:

If the first fifteen elements in the above sequence are written in reverse order then which of the following will be twenty third element from the right end?

A. I

B. M

C. O

D. G

E. 7

Solution

Given series:

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

First 15 elements are written in the reverse order:

Left Side + W & O $ ? Y G * I H % X F 6 @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

Hence, 23^rd element from the right end is G.

19. Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3

Question:

If each symbol is first converted into a numeral and then all the numerals are converted into English letters, how many converted English letters will be there in the above arrangement of elements?

A. 8

B. 11

C. 14

D. 17

E. 22

Solution

Given series is:

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

The number of converted letters = Number of symbols + Number of numerals

= 11 + 6 = 17

Hence, there are 17 converted English letters.

20. Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3

Question:

If all the vowels are dropped from the above series, which of the following would be the eighth element to the right of the thirteenth element from the left end?

A. +

B. @

C. 7

D. T

E. =

Solution

Given series is

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

After dropping all the vowels

Left Side 6 F X % H * G Y ? $ & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T © 8 < 3 Right Side

As Right/Left + Left/Right = Position mentioned at the end of statement.

⇒ 8^th from Right + 13^th to left = 21^st from left

Hence, the 21^st element from the left end is 7.

21. Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3

Question:

Which of the following element is exactly in the middle of I and 8?

A. @

B. !

C. 4

D. 5

E. +

Solution

Given series is:

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

Arrangement required: I → Exactly middle → 8

Left Side 6 F X % H I * G Y ? $ O & W + @ 5 4 ! P B = 7 T E A © 8 < 3 Right Side

There are 21 elements in between I and 8.

Hence, the middle letter between I and 8 is 5.

Solution

Given Series:

111, 100, 110, 101, 109, (?)

The logic followed here is as follows:

⇒ 111 – 11 = 100

⇒ 100 + 10 = 110

⇒ 110 – 9 = 101

⇒ 101 + 8 = 109

⇒ 109 – 7 = 102

Hence, 102 will come in the place of (?).

37. What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

14, 7, ?, 14, 56, 448

D. 1

E. None of these

Solution

Given:

14, 7, ?, 14, 56, 448

Calculation:

⇒ 14 × 0.5 = 7

⇒ 7 × 1 = 7

⇒ 7 × 2 = 14

⇒ 14 × 4 = 56

⇒ 56 × 8 = 448

∴ The value of ? is 7.

E. None of these

Solution

Given:

60, 70, 83, 102, 130, 170, ?

Calculation:

From the above series, the logic can be explained as

70 – 60 = 10

83 – 70 = 13

102 – 83 = 19

130 – 102 = 28

170 – 130 = 40

? – 170 = let’s say x

Taking the double difference

13 – 10 = 3

19 – 13 = 6

28 – 19 = 9

40 – 28 = 12

By observing the pattern of double difference we can say

x – 40 = 15

⇒ x = 55

So, ? – 170 = 55

⇒ ? = 225

∴ The value of ? will be 225.

41. 12 men and 15 women can complete a work in 24 days. If the efficiency of a woman is 75% of a man, then to complete the work in 12 days how many men are required?

A. 105/2

B. 89/2

C. 57/2

D. 79/2

E. 93/2

Solution

Given:

12 men and 15 women can complete a work in 24 days

The efficiency of a woman is 75% of a man

Concept Used:

Work done = efficiency × time

Calculation:

Let, the efficiency of a man = 4

The efficiency of a woman = 4 × 3/4 = 3

Total work = [(12 × 4) + (15 × 3)] × 24 = (93 × 24) unit

To complete the work in 12 days number of men required are

42. The give bar graph shows the total number of Sim user [ Jio + Airtel + BSNL], total number of Airtel and BSNL user and total number of BSNL user in five different village [ A, B, C, D and E].

Question:

Ratio Male and female JIO, Airtel and BSNL user of A is 5:3, 3:2 and 4:3 respectively. Find the difference between male and female sim user in village A?

A. 92

B. 76

C. 84

D. 55

E. 78

Solution

Common Calculation –

Total number of BSNL user in A is 70.

Total number of AIRTEL user in A is 250 -70 = 180

Total number of JIO user in A is 370 – 250 = 120

Similarly, we can calculate others values also.

Village	JIO user	Airtel User	BSNL user
A	120	180	70
B	130	140	110
C	150	160	60
D	100	120	140
E	150	130	160

Calculation

JIO: Total = 120, M:F = 5:3

→ Total parts = 8

→ Male = 120 × (5/8) = 75,

Female = 120 × (3/8) = 45

Airtel: 180, M:F = 3:2

→ Total parts = 5

→ Male = 180 × (3/5) = 108,

Female = 180 × (2/5) = 72

BSNL: 70, M:F = 4:3

→ Total parts = 7

→ Male = 70 × (4/7) = 40,

Female = 70 × (3/7) = 30

Total male and female SIM users in A

Male = 75 + 108 + 40 = 223

Female = 45 + 72 + 30 = 147

So, difference is 223 – 147 = 76

The correct answer is Option (2).

A. 98

B. 92

C. 55

D. 56

E. 96

Solution

Common Calculation –

Total number of BSNL user in A is 70.

Total number of AIRTEL user in A is 250 -70 = 180

Total number of JIO user in A is 370 – 250 = 120

Similarly, we can calculate others values also.

Village	JIO user	Airtel User	BSNL user
A	120	180	70
B	130	140	110
C	150	160	60
D	100	120	140
E	150	130	160

Calculation

75% of total population in village D use SIM.

Male : Female in total population = 3:2

Total SIM users in village D

= 100 (JIO) + 120 (Airtel) + 140 (BSNL) = 360

Let,

Total population = P

So, 75% of P = 360

⇒ P = 360 × 0.75 = 480

Male : Female = 3:2 ⇒ Total parts = 5

Male = 480 × (3/5) = 288

Female = 480 × (2/5) = 192

So, difference is = 288 – 192 = 96

The correct answer is Option (5).

A. 2776

B. 2426

C. 2226

D. 2336

E. 2496

Solution

Common Calculation –

Total number of BSNL user in A is 70.

Total number of AIRTEL user in A is 250 -70 = 180

Total number of JIO user in A is 370 – 250 = 120

Similarly, we can calculate others values also.

Village	JIO user	Airtel User	BSNL user
A	120	180	70
B	130	140	110
C	150	160	60
D	100	120	140
E	150	130	160

Calculation

Average number of JIO users in all villages = 5x

Total JIO users

= 120 + 130 + 150 + 100 + 150 = 650

Number of villages = 5

Average = 650 / 5 = 130

So, 5x = 130

⇒x = 26

So, 8x + 2568 = 8 × 26 + 2568 = 208 + 2568 = 2776

The correct answer is Option (1).

A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

D. 0

E. 4

Solution

Common Calculation –

Total number of BSNL user in A is 70.

Total number of AIRTEL user in A is 250 -70 = 180

Total number of JIO user in A is 370 – 250 = 120

Similarly, we can calculate others values also.

Village	JIO user	Airtel User	BSNL user
A	120	180	70
B	130	140	110
C	150	160	60
D	100	120	140
E	150	130	160

Calculation

JIO in E = 150

→ 20% of 150 = 30 ported to BSNL

Original BSNL in E = 160

→ New BSNL = 160 + 30 = 190

Now, sum of digits of 190 = 1 + 9 + 0 = 10

Unit digit = 0

Answer 0

The correct answer is Option (4).

B	130	140	110
C	150	160	60
D	100	120	140
E	150	130	160

Calculation

In village F, JIO, AIRTEL, BSNL are 20%, 30%, 40% more than in village B
From village B:

JIO = 130 → 20% more = 130 × 1.2 = 156

Airtel = 140 → 30% more = 140 × 1.3 = 182

BSNL = 110 → 40% more = 110 × 1.4 = 154

Total SIM users in F = 156 + 182 + 154 = 492

Answer: 492

The correct answer is Option (3).

25 × √16 + 400 = √? + 475

⇒ 25 × 4 + 400 = √? + 475

⇒ 100 + 400 = √? + 475

⇒ √? = 500 – 475

⇒ √? = 25

⇒ ? = 625

∴ the approximate value of question mark (?) in the following question is 625.

52. what approximate value should come in the place of question mark (?) in the following question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value)√145 + √168 – (4.96)² = √? × 7856.83

A. 0

B. 1

C. -1

D. 2

E. -2

Solution

Rules of Approximation:

1. If a number has digits to the right of the decimal less than 5, then just drop the digits to the right of the decimal. The number so obtained will be the approximated value.

Concept:

In this type of question, we are expected to calculate approximate value (not exact value), so we can replace the given numbers by their nearest perfect places which makes the calculation easy.

√145 + √168 – (4.96)² = √? × 7856.83

Taking approximate value, we get

√144 + √169 – (5)² = √? × 78567

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,

Since, we need to find out the approximate value, we can write these values to their nearest integers.

Taking approximate value, we get

√144 + √169 – (5)² = √? × 7857

⇒ 12 + 13 – 25 = √? × 7857

⇒ 25 – 25 = √? × 7857

⇒ 0 = √? × 7857

⇒ √? = (0 ÷ 7857)

⇒ √? = 0

∴ ? = 0

∴ the approximate value of question mark (?) in the following question is 0.

64. Madhu saves 20% of his monthly income. But due to price hike in the market, he can save only Rs. 2000, which is 40% of his previous saving. Find his monthly expenditure after the price hike.

A. Rs. 25000

B. Rs. 20000

C. Rs. 23000

D. Rs. 22000

E. Rs. 15000

Solution

Given:

Madhu saves 20% of his monthly income

Due to price hike in the market, he can save only Rs. 2000, which is 40% of his previous saving

Calculation:

Let, Madhu’s income = 100a

Initial saving = 100a × 20/100 = 20a

Initial expenditure = 100a – 20a = 80a

After the price hike his saving = 20a × 40/100 = 8a

So, his new expenditure = 100 – 8a = 92a

According to the question,

⇒ 8a = 2000

⇒ a = 250

So, Madhu’s expenditure after the price hike = 92 × 250 = Rs. 23000

∴ The correct answer is option 3

65. Two bikes Hero and TVS, which have the same cost price sold at an overall profit of 25%. If Hero is sold at 20% profit and TVS sold at Rs 250 more than Hero, then find the cost price of Hero.

A. 2600

B. 1800

C. 2000

D. 2100

E. 2500

Solution

Overall profit is 25 %

When we use alligation method on profit % we get the ratio of cp of an articles

Apply this ,

Hero TVS

20% x%

25%

( x -25) % 5%

Cost price of both bikes is same so ratio of cp is 1 : 1

So , ( x- 25 ) / 5 = 1 : 1

⇒ x- 25 = 5

⇒ x = 30%

Now, 30% – 20% = Rs 250

⇒ 10% = Rs 250

⇒ 100 % = Rs 2500

And 100% is called cost price of hero bikes

Hence Rs 2500 is the correct answer.

69. Simple interest earned on an amount of Rs. 15000 at the end of 4 years is Rs. 12000. What will be the compound interest earned on the same amount, at same rate for 3 years.

A. Rs. 11000

B. Rs. 10920

C. Rs. 10800

D. Rs. 10290

E. Rs. 10500

Solution

Given:

Simple interest earned on an amount of Rs. 15000 at the end of 4 years is Rs. 12000

Concept Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T)/100

Compound Interest (CI) = P × (1 + R/100)^T – P

Where, P = principal amount, R = rate of interest, and T = time duration

Calculation:

According to the question,

P = Rs. 15000, SI = Rs. 12000, and T = 4 years

The rate (R) for SI = (12000 × 100)/(15000 × 4) = 20%

Now, the CI earned on the same amount at the same rate for 3 years is

⇒ 15000 × [(1 + 20/100)³ – 1]

⇒ 15000 × [(216/125) – 1]

⇒ 15000 × 91/125

⇒ Rs. 10920

∴ The correct answer is option 2

70. Total surface area of sphere A is 972 cm².The sphere A is recast into sphere B whose radius is 33.33% of sphere A. Find the how many spheres that can be recasted.
(use π = 3)

A. 27

B. 8

C. 64

D. 216

E. None of these

Solution

Solution:

Total surface area of the sphere = 4πr²

To find the radius of the sphere A = 4 × 3 × r² = 972

r² = 972/12 = 81 cm

r = 9cm

Radius of the sphere B = 9 × 1/3 = 3

To find the number of spheres that can be recast

N = (4/3 × 3 × 9 × 9 × 9)/(4/3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3) = 27

Hence, option(1) is correct.

71. Read the following sentence and determine whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the sentence is error-free, select ‘No error’ as your answer.

More candidates (A)/ than one has (B)/ been disqualified (C)/ in the final year examination.(D)/ No error (E)/

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. B.

Key Points

The error lies in the part B of the sentence.
In a sentence, the verb is used according to person and number.
According to the rule: after “more + plural noun + than one“, plural verb is used.
Example:
- More employees than one is late.
- More employees than one are late.
As the main subject in the given sentence is ‘More candidates than one‘, the verb will also be plural i.e. have.
Thus, according to the rule, the 2nd option i.e. B will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence: More candidates than one have been disqualified in the final year examination.

Additional Information

In the case of the following words, the verbs used will be singular:
- Each, every/everyone, someone/somebody, none/ nobody, one, no one, any, many a, more than one, etc.
Example:
- Everyone are addicted to smartphones nowadays.
- Everyone is addicted to smartphones nowadays.

Confusion Points

The verbs used will be singular in case of: Each, every/everyone, many a, more than one, etc.
The verbs used will be plural in case of: more + plural noun + than one

Hint

The determiner ‘more + plural noun + than one‘ will decide the verb – singular or plural. In the case of more + plural noun + than one, the verbs used will be plural.

72. Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E- No Error). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

Either of (A)/ these five students (B)/ is responsible for (C)/ the bad behaviour in our group (D)/. No error. (E)

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct option is option 1 i.e. A.

Key Points

‘Either of…’ means any one of the two.
But here in the sentence, it is mentioned “these five persons”.
‘Either of should be replaced by “One of” as ‘one of’ is used in the case of referring to one person or thing in a group of more than two.

Correct sentence is: One of these five persons is responsible for the mismanagement in our organization.

Additional Information

The word ‘either‘ is used to express a choice between two alternatives. So, if you are referring to two options, say ‘either of the two’. When more than two options are available, use ‘any one of them’.
With ‘either” it is clear the choice is between two only .

Confusion Points

In the given sentence we can’t use ‘any of‘ as it makes the sentence contextually incorrect. Because according to the sentence we need to choose the ‘one person‘ out of the five persons.
Hence the usage of ‘one of‘ is correct.

Mistake Points

You might think that you can change part B and replace ‘these five students’ with ‘these two students’. Such a change would be unacceptable as you are only supposed to make grammatical changes. You cannot change the context.

73. Read the sentence given below to find out if it contains any error. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the sentence is error-free, select No error or option 5. Ignore error of punctuation if any.

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. E

Solution

The correct answer is ‘C‘.

Key Points

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The error lies in part (C) of the sentence.

‘Breathtaking’ is an adjective that means extremely surprising, beautiful, etc.

We already have ‘beautiful‘ and ‘gigantic‘ as adjectives, so we need to use an adverb.

‘Breathtakingly‘ is the correct form of adverb to be used here.

An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella).

Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs. Often, the purpose of the adverb is to add a degree of intensity to the adjective.

Examples–

My cat is incredibly happy to have his dinner.

We will be slightly late to the meeting.

Thus, the correct sentence- “This was not a mangy or vicious creature standing in front of him, but a breathtakingly beautiful, gigantic wolf.”

82. Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

When a 17-year-old beats the five-time World champion and strongest chess player of all time in three games in a row, it is bound to attract attention. R. Praggnanandhaa did that at Miami on Sunday, the final day of the FTX Crypto Cup. His stunning victory _______ Magnus Carlsen, however, was not enough to win the tournament; he had to settle for the runner-up spot behind the Norwegian. But this is more than creditable, as all his seven rivals in the round-robin event had higher Fide ratings. And it was not the first time that he was beating Carlsen, having scored wins in online tournaments earlier this year. The great show at Miami should no doubt be a huge morale-booster for the Chennai lad. He had flown to Miami soon after helping India to win the bronze medal at the Chennai Chess Olympiad. He was not the biggest star at Mamallapuram, though. His teammate, D. Gukesh, also from Chennai and also a teenager, had created a sensation at the Olympiad, posting eight wins on the trot. A few month earlier, it was yet another Indian teenager, Arjun Erigaisi, who was hitting the headlines.

Apart from Praggnanandhaa, Gukesh, and Erigaisi, two other young Indians — Nihal Sarin and Raunak Sadhwani — had also come up with excellent performances at the Olympiad. Sadhwani then won the blitz title at the Abu Dhabi International Chess Festival, a few hours before Praggnanandhaa’s victory against Carlsen. At the Masters section of the tournament, Sadhwani shared the second spot after five rounds with Erigaisi and Sarin, among others. As for Gukesh, he is busy improving his rating at the Turkish Chess Super League in Ankara. That all these hugely talented youngsters are making their Grand-masterly moves at the same time augurs well for Indian chess. And there are a few more youngsters waiting in the wings, such as V. Pranav and Bharath Subramaniyam. Rarely has India threatened to take the world on, in any sport, with a group of promising teenagers. Viswanathan Anand, the man who began it all, may have been the lone Indian at the top, but his successors are likely to have company. He is now mentoring the young Indians, who have acknowledged how much they have gained from working with him. These days, quality coaches, some of them Grandmasters, are available across the country. A strong domestic base, made possible by, among other things, parental support and the rise in the popularity of the game, promises even brighter days ahead for Indian chess.

A. RQSP

B. QSPR

C. RQPS

D. QPSR

Solution

The correct answer is Option (4) i.e., QPSR.

Therefore, the correct answer is QPSR.

Additional Information

Option 5 (PQSR): This option starts with “almost like the printing press likened to a revolutionary introduction”, which is grammatically incorrect and lacks coherence.

Option 1 (RQSP): This option starts with “hands of the masses almost like the printing press”, which does not make logical sense at the beginning of the sentence.

Option 2 (QSPR): This option starts with “almost like the printing press giving power into the hands of the masses”, which creates a fragmented and illogical structure.

Option 3 (RQPS): This option starts with “hands of the masses likened to a revolutionary introduction”, which disrupts the flow and meaning of the sentence.

A. RQSP

B. PQRS

C. RQPS

D. PQSR

Therefore, the correct logical sequence is PQSR.

Additional Information

Option 1 (RQSP): This option starts with “and the distribution of wrong information,” which disrupts the logical flow and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Option 2 (PQRS): This option ends with “and the distribution of wrong information,” which is incomplete and does not form a coherent sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is QPSR.

Additional Information

Option 5 (PQRS): This option starts with “a move towards paper-less the curbing of rampant deforestation,” which does not form a logical or meaningful sentence.

Option 1 (RQSP): This option starts with “the curbing of rampant deforestation a move towards paper-less communication,” which is not a coherent sentence and lacks logical flow.

Therefore, the correct answer is RPQS.

Additional Information

Option 1 (RQSP): This option starts with “Several attempts are being put together by the joint efforts to limit toxic industrial waste of the UN and the government,” which creates a grammatically awkward and unclear sentence structure.
