4. Two statements are followed by two conclusions. Assuming that the statements are true even if they do not conform to real world knowledge, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements.
Statements:
1. Some fruits are vegetables.
2. All apples are fruits.
Conclusions:
I. Some apples are vegetables.
II. All apples are vegetables.
A. only I follows
B. only II follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Neither I nor II follows
Solutions
The correct answer is Neither I nor II follows.
Statements:
- Some fruits are vegetables.
(So, there is some overlap between fruits and vegetables.) - All apples are fruits.
(Meaning every apple is definitely a fruit.)
Conclusions:
Some apples are vegetables.
— This is not necessarily true because while some fruits are vegetables, we don’t know whether apples are included in that “some.” It’s possible that apples are not the fruits which are vegetables.
All apples are vegetables.
— This is also definitely false because even the first conclusion isn’t necessarily true. So, saying “all apples are vegetables” is an even stronger and unjustified statement.
5. Which statement correctly describes the roles of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein ?
A. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-rich blood; the pulmonary vein carries oxygen-poor blood.
B. Both the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein carry oxygen-rich blood
C. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood; the pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
D. Both the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein carry oxygen-poor blood
Solutions
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
- Pulmonary Artery:
Carries oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. - Pulmonary Vein:
Carries oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.
This is opposite to other arteries and veins, because usually:
- Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood,
- Veins carry oxygen-poor blood.
But the pulmonary artery and vein are exceptions.
6. ‘A + B’ means ‘A’ is the sister of ‘B’.
‘A @ B’ means ‘A’ is the wife of ‘B’.
‘A $ B’ means ‘A’ is the son of ‘B’.
‘A % B’ means ‘A’ is the mother of ‘B’.
What is the relation between ‘S and P’ in the given expression “P @ Q $ R % S + O”?
A. Sister
B. Brother
C. Sister-in-law
D. Brother-in-law
Solutions
Expression:
Let’s break this down right to left as per standard symbol-based reasoning:
- S + O:
S is the sister of O. - R % S:
R is the mother of S. - Q $ R:
Q is the son of R. - P @ Q:
P is the wife of Q.
What is the relation between S and P?
Let’s connect the people step-by-step:
R is the mother of S → So R is S’s mother.
Q is the son of R → So Q is S’s brother (same mother R).
P is the wife of Q → So P is Q’s wife, i.e., S’s sister-in-law.
7. Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
BFKV, FJOZ, ?, NRWH, RVAL
A. JMTD

D. JMSD
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step:
Given Series:
- BFKV
- FJOZ
- ?
- NRWH
- RVAL
Find the pattern for each letter in the cluster:
1st Letter Pattern:
- B (2) → F (6) = +4
- F (6) → ? = +4 → J (10)
- J (10) → N (14) = +4
- N (14) → R (18) = +4
So, 3rd letter = J
2nd Letter Pattern:
- F (6) → J (10) = +4
- J (10) → ? = +4 → N (14)
- N (14) → R (18) = +4
So, 3rd letter = N
3rd Letter Pattern:
- K (11) → O (15) = +4
- O (15) → ? = +4 → S (19)
- S (19) → W (23) = +4
So, 3rd letter = S
4th Letter Pattern:
- V (22) → Z (26) = +4
- Z (26) → ? = +4 → D (4) (since after Z, it cycles back to A)
- D (4) → H (8) = +4
So, 3rd letter = D

9. Find the pair of missing alphabet.
AK, EO, IS, ?, QA, UE
A. LV
B. MW
C. NX
D. LW
Solutions
Let’s carefully solve this:
Given series:
AK, EO, IS, ?, QA, UE
Let’s split and check the pattern of the 1st and 2nd letters separately.
First letters:
A (1), E (5), I (9), ?, Q (17), U (21)
What’s the pattern?
Each letter is increasing by +4:
- A (1) → E (5) = +4
- E (5) → I (9) = +4
- I (9) → M (13) = +4
- M (13) → Q (17) = +4
- Q (17) → U (21) = +4
So, the first missing letter is M.
Second letters:
K (11), O (15), S (19), ?, A (1), E (5)
What’s the pattern?
Each letter is increasing by +4 (and wraps around after Z):
- K (11) → O (15) = +4
- O (15) → S (19) = +4
- S (19) → W (23) = +4
- W (23) → A (1) = +4 (wrap around)
- A (1) → E (5) = +4
So, the second missing letter is W.

C. 205
D. 190
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step.
Given equation:
47 + 13 ÷ 65 × 5 – 16
Interchanging × and ÷ signs:
So, wherever there is “×” you put “÷” and wherever “÷” you put “×”.
Thus the equation becomes:
47 + 13 × 65 ÷ 5 – 16
Now solve:
First multiplication and division from left to right:
13 × 65 = 845
845 ÷ 5 = 169
Now add and subtract:
47 + 169 – 16 = 200

13. Which river is known as Sorrow of Bihar?
A. Gandak
B. Ganga
C. Kosi
D. Son
Solutions
The correct answer is Kosi.
- The Kosi River is famously called the “Sorrow of Bihar“.
- Why?
Because it changes its course frequently and causes devastating floods in the northern parts of Bihar almost every year. - These floods damage agriculture, life, and property — hence this sorrowful title.
Other Options:
Gandak – Flows through Bihar but not called Sorrow of Bihar.
Ganga – Sacred river, lifeline of North India.
Son – Tributary of Ganga, no such nickname.
14. What term describes the line that is perpendicular to a reflective surface at the point of incidence?
A. Ray line
B. Normal
C. Axis
D. Vertex
Solutions
The correct answer is 2) Normal
- When a light ray strikes a reflective surface (like a mirror), the imaginary line drawn perpendicular (90°) to the surface at the point of incidence is called the “Normal”.
- It helps in applying the Laws of Reflection:
- Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection, measured from this Normal.
Other Options:
Ray line: No such standard term.
Axis: Usually refers to the principal axis of a lens or mirror.
Vertex: The point where the surface curves or meets, not the line.
15. Which set represents only periodic motions?
A. Motion of a car, swinging of a pendulum, spinning of Earth
B. Swinging of a pendulum, motion of a clock’s hands, Earth’s rotation
C. Motion of a bicycle, running of an athlete, swinging of a pendulum
D. Earth’s rotation, motion of a car, motion of a train
Solutions
Periodic Motion:
A motion that repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion.
Swinging of a pendulum:
It swings back and forth in a regular, repeating pattern. (Periodic)
Motion of a clock’s hands:
They complete cycles after fixed intervals (like minute, hour hand). (Periodic)
Earth’s rotation:
Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours — again repeating regularly. (Periodic)
Other Options (Why incorrect?):
Motion of a car, spinning of Earth, pendulum:
Car’s motion is not necessarily periodic (random or irregular depending on road, speed).
Motion of bicycle, athlete running, pendulum:
Bicycle and athlete’s motion are not strictly periodic — they depend on the rider or runner.
Earth’s rotation, motion of car, train:
Car and train’s motions are not periodic — they change speed/direction as needed.
16. Direction: Study the information given below carefully and answer the question that follow.
Seven persons M, N, O, P, Q, R, and S are sitting in a row facing north direction. N sits third to the left of Q. Only P is adjacent to S, who does not sit at the extreme left end. M sits immediate left of R. O and Q are not adjacent to each other.
Who sits immediate left of M?
A. N
B. R
C. P
D. O
Solutions
Given:
- 7 persons: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S
- Facing North (Important!)
Clues:
N sits third to the left of Q.
→ This means:
N _ _ Q (N is 3rd left to Q)
Only P is adjacent to S.
→ Means: S has only P as a neighbor (no one else adjacent).
S does not sit at the extreme left end.
→ So S ≠ Position 1
M sits immediate left of R.
→ M is left of R, like this: M R
O and Q are not adjacent.
Trying to place them:
Let’s find Q and N first.
Positioning Clue 1:
“N is 3rd to left of Q” — since they all face north:
So Q cannot be in positions 1, 2, 3 (else N goes outside).
Thus Q can be in positions 4, 5, 6, or 7:
Try Q at position 4:
So N is at Position 1, Q at 4. Valid.
17. The main reason why sound cannot travel in a vacuum is:
A. There is no medium to carry the sound waves
B. Vacuum absorbs sound waves.
C. Sound waves are too weak to travel in a vacuum.
D. None of the above.
Solutions
The correct answer is Option 1
- Sound is a Mechanical Wave, which needs a material medium (like air, water, or solid) to propagate.
- In a vacuum, there are no particles to carry the vibrations.
- So, sound cannot travel in vacuum at all — that’s why space is silent
Other Options (Why Wrong?):
B) Vacuum absorbs sound waves:
Wrong — Vacuum does not absorb anything because sound cannot even exist there.
C) Sound waves are too weak to travel in a vacuum:
Wrong — Strength is not the reason; lack of medium is.
D) None of the above:
Wrong — Option A is absolutely correct.
18. ‘Newspaper’ is related to ‘General Readers’ in the same way as ‘Professional Journal’ is related to ‘______’.
A. Customers
B. Researchers
C. Technicians
D. Literates

Newspaper is read by the general public — anyone can read it. - Professional Journal → ?
A Professional Journal contains research articles and professional content, so its main readers are Researchers, Scientists, and Specialists, not the general public.
Why other options are wrong?
A) Customers:
Not specific to professional journals.
C) Technicians:
They may not necessarily read professional journals (unless specialized).
D) Literates:
Very general — all readers are literates, but journals are meant for experts.

Solutions
For triangles ΔABC and ΔPQR, sides are proportional.
Let the length of BC = x cm, so AB = x + 10 cm.
Similarly, for ΔPQR, let QR = y cm, so PQ = 2y cm.
Since the triangles are similar:
Cross multiplying:
Length of BC = 10 cm
Correct Option: 10 cm

50. Consider the following question and decide which of the statements is sufficient to answer the question.
Question:
Find the value of m, slope of a line.
Statements:
1) y = mx + 2
2) Line passes through (2, 1)
A. Only statement 2 is sufficient
B. Either statement 1 or 2 is sufficient
C. Only statement 1 is sufficient
D. Both statements 1 and 2 are sufficient
Solutions
Let’s carefully analyze:
To find the value of “m” (slope of the line):
- Statement 1:
Equation of the line is given: y = mx + 2.
But here, m is unknown — this alone does not help to find its value, because the slope m is still not given.
So, Statement 1 alone is NOT sufficient.
- Statement 2:
The line passes through the point (2, 1).
But we do not know the equation or slope — this alone is also NOT sufficient.
Using both statements together:
We can substitute x = 2, y = 1 in the equation from statement 1:
Thus, both statements together are sufficient to find the value of m.
Final Answer:
Both statements 1 and 2 are sufficient

53. A factory outlet has decided to dispose of its old stock by selling each set of cups for ₹ 287 and recovering only the variable cost. If the fixed cost is 18% of the total cost, what was the cost price of each set of cups?
A. ₹ 320
B. ₹ 350
C. ₹ 325
D. ₹ 340
Solutions
Let the total cost price of each set = ₹ x
Fixed cost = 18% of total cost = ₹ 0.18x
Variable cost = Total cost – Fixed cost = ₹ x – 0.18x = 0.82x
Since the outlet is recovering only the variable cost:
Correct Answer:
₹ 350
54. In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives.
QTY ∶ YTQ ∶ ∶ ENR ∶ ?
A. ERN
B. NOP
C. RNE
D. JMN
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step:
Given:
QTY : YTQ :: ENR : ?
We need to find the pattern between the first and second groups and apply the same to ENR.
- QTY → YTQ
Position in alphabet:
Q = 17
T = 20
Y = 25
→ Y T Q
= 25 20 17
So the pattern is: reverse order.
Let’s apply this to ENR:
E = 5
N = 14
R = 18
Reversed order: R N E = RNE
Correct answer:
RNE
55. A taxi car has six seats, three in front row and three in back row. Those who board the car first, go to back seat and the seats are occupied from right to left on first come first serve basis. Y was 1 st to board the car and U was the last one. Z was 2 nd last to board the car and was seated in front of V. If W is seated at the left of V, what is the boarding order of X?
A. 3rd
B. 5th
C. 2nd
D. 4th
Solutions
Let’s carefully solve this:
Rules given:
- Taxi has 6 seats: 3 in front row, 3 in back row.
- Whoever boards first goes to back row, and seats fill from right to left (first come first serve).
- Y boarded 1st.
- U boarded last (6th).
- Z was 2nd last (5th).
- Z was seated in front of V.
- W is seated left of V.
Let’s deduce:
Back Row (fills first):
- First 3 to enter take back seats, from right to left:
- Back right → 1st to enter
- Back middle → 2nd to enter
- Back left → 3rd to enter
So:
Back right: Y (1st to enter)
Back middle: ? (2nd to enter)
Back left: ? (3rd to enter)
Front Row: next 3 (4th, 5th, 6th)
- 4th, 5th, 6th to enter take front row, from right to left:
- Front right → 4th to enter
- Front middle → 5th to enter (Z boarded 5th)
- Front left → 6th to enter (U boarded 6th)
So:
Front left: U (6th to enter)
Front middle: Z (5th to enter)
Front right: ? (4th to enter)
Also:
- Z is in front of V — Z is in front row, so V must be back middle seat (because Z is sitting in front middle).
- W is seated left of V — W is to the left of V, so W must be in back left seat.
So V and W are in back row:
- V: back middle
- W: back left
Now fill it:
- Back right: Y (1st)
- Back middle: V (?)
- Back left: W (?)
But who among X, V, W boarded 2nd and 3rd?
- V and W are both in the back, so they must have entered 2nd and 3rd — but which order?
Clue: W is to the left of V.
Seats fill right to left, so:
- The 2nd to enter sits in back middle.
- The 3rd to enter sits in back left.
But V is in back middle — so V entered 2nd.
W is in back left — so W entered 3rd.
So boarding order so far:
- Y — back right
- V — back middle
- W — back left
- X — ?
- Z — front middle
- U — front left
Where does X sit? Only seat left: front right.
So X entered 4th.
Final Answer:
X boarded 4th.
Correct option:
4th
56. In a code language, ‘dark colors’ is coded as ‘yu nu’, ‘days are bright’ is coded as ‘wu tu ku’, ‘nights are dark’ is coded as ‘ku nu pu’, ‘paint bright’ is coded as ‘wu ru’. What is the code for the word ‘days’?
A. wu
B. ku
C. tu
D. ru
Solutions
Let’s carefully decode this:
- ‘dark colors’ → ‘yu nu’
- ‘days are bright’ → ‘wu tu ku’
- ‘nights are dark’ → ‘ku nu pu’
- ‘paint bright’ → ‘wu ru’
Step-by-Step Analysis:
- In Sentence 2: ‘days are bright’ → ‘wu tu ku’
Words: days, are, bright
Codes: wu, tu, ku - In Sentence 3: ‘nights are dark’ → ‘ku nu pu’
Words: nights, are, dark
Codes: ku, nu, pu
We see ‘are’ is common in both Sentence 2 & 3 → so ‘are’ = ku.
Now remove ku (for ‘are’) from Sentence 2:
- Left: ‘days bright’ → ‘wu tu’
But ‘bright’ also appears in Sentence 4:
‘paint bright’ → ‘wu ru’
This suggests ‘bright’ = wu or ru.
But ‘bright’ is also possibly ‘wu’ in both Sentences 2 & 4 — this matches.
Thus ‘bright’ = wu.
So from ‘days bright’ → ‘wu tu’, and ‘bright = wu’, then:
‘days’ = tu’.
Correct Answer: tu
57. Read the following statements and choose the conclusion that logically follows:
Statements:
1. Lina is the daughter of Reet.
2. Gabbar is the father of Lina.
3. Reet has two children.
Conclusions:
A. Gabbar has a son and a daughter.
B. Reet has a brother and a sister.
C. Reet has a son and a daughter.
D. Lina has a sibling.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
Solutions
Let’s carefully analyze the given statements:
Statements:
- Lina is the daughter of Reet.
- Gabbar is the father of Lina.
- Reet has two children.
Possible Conclusions:
- A. Gabbar has a son and a daughter.
Not necessarily true — we only know Gabbar has a daughter (Lina); the other child is not mentioned. So this is not definitely true. - B. Reet has a brother and a sister.
This is irrelevant — Reet’s siblings are not mentioned at all. Incorrect. - C. Reet has a son and a daughter.
Not necessarily true — Reet has two children, but their genders are not specified except for Lina. Incorrect. - D. Lina has a sibling.
Since Reet has two children and Lina is one of them, she must have a sibling. This conclusion definitely follows.
Correct Answer: D (Lina has a sibling)
58. In this question, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. This statement is followed by three conclusions. Assume the given statement to be true and choose the answer from the given options:
Statement: G = L > E < A ≤ M
Conclusions:
i) L > M
ii) G < A
iii) A > L
A. All follow
B. Only i) and ii) follow
C. None follows
D. Only ii) and iii) follow
Solutions
Given Statement:
G = L > E < A ≤ M
Breaking it into parts:
- G = L → G and L are equal.
- L > E → L is greater than E.
- E < A → E is less than A (so A > E).
- A ≤ M → A is less than or equal to M.
Conclusions:
- i) L > M
We know L > E < A ≤ M, but nothing directly connects L and M.
A could be equal to M or less than M — this is uncertain.
So, cannot be concluded.
ii) G < A
Since G = L > E < A, we cannot say if G (or L) is greater or less than A, because E is between them and no direct relation between G/L and A is given.
So, cannot be concluded.
iii) A > L
Same reason — A and L have no direct relation. E is between them.
So, cannot be concluded.
Final Conclusion:
None of the conclusions follow.

60. Virat was born on 14 November 1974 on Thursday. Next time in which year will he celebrate his birthday on same date and day?
A. 1981
B. 1985
C. 1982
D. 2002
Solutions
We need to find the next year when 14 November falls on a Thursday again after 1974.
Step 1: Rule to Apply
For the same date and weekday to repeat:
- A normal year shifts the day of the week by 1 day forward.
- A leap year shifts it by 2 days forward.
Leap years between 1974 and the required year are divisible by 4, but century years must also be divisible by 400 to count as leap.
| Year | Leap Year? | Day shift | Total Shift |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1974 | Base Year | – | Thursday |
| 1975 | No | +1 | Friday |
| 1976 | Yes | +2 | Sunday |
| 1977 | No | +1 | Monday |
| 1978 | No | +1 | Tuesday |
| 1979 | No | +1 | Wednesday |
| 1980 | Yes | +2 | Friday |
| 1981 | No | +1 | Saturday |
| 1982 | No | +1 | Sunday |
| 1983 | No | +1 | Monday |
| 1984 | Yes | +2 | Wednesday |
| 1985 | No | +1 | Thursday |
Correct Answer:
1985
So 14 November 1985 will again be a Thursday.
61. Pointing towards a boy, Ranjita said, “He is my husband’s father-in-law’s only daughter’s son’s father’s only sister’s son”. How is that boy’s mother related to Ranjita’s husband?
A. Daughter
B. Paternal aunt
C. Mother
D. Sister
Solutions
Let’s break this down step by step carefully:
Ranjita said: “He is my husband’s father-in-law’s only daughter’s son’s father’s only sister’s son.”
- My husband’s father-in-law = Ranjita’s own father
- My husband’s father-in-law’s only daughter = Ranjita herself (since Ranjita is her father’s only daughter)
- Ranjita’s son = Ranjita’s own son
- Ranjita’s son’s father = Ranjita’s husband
- Ranjita’s husband’s only sister = Ranjita’s sister-in-law
- Her son = sister-in-law’s son (Ranjita’s husband’s sister’s son)
So the boy is Ranjita’s husband’s sister’s son = nephew of Ranjita’s husband.
Question: How is this boy’s mother related to Ranjita’s husband?
This boy’s mother is Ranjita’s husband’s sister.
Correct Answer:
Sister

63. Six persons A, D, C, E, B and F are sitting towards a circular table facing the center. C sits second to the left of A and second to the right of B. B faces D. F sits second to the right of D. Who sits second to the right of B among them?
A. E
B. B
C. C
D. A
Solutions
Let’s carefully solve this:
Given:
- 6 persons: A, B, C, D, E, F sitting around a circular table, all facing the center.
- C sits second to the left of A.
(So if A is here, count two places to the left for C.) - C sits second to the right of B.
(So C is also two places to the right of B.) - B faces D.
(B and D are opposite to each other.) - F sits second to the right of D.
Positioning:
- Place A at any point, let’s say the top.
- C is second to the left of A, so C will be two places to the left of A.Since everyone faces the center, left means anti-clockwise. So C is at A’s 2nd anti-clockwise position.
- C is also second to the right of B, so C is 2 places to the right of B, meaning 2nd clockwise position from B.So the positions of A, B, and C can now be matched.
- B faces D, so D is directly opposite B.
- F sits second to the right of D, which is 2 places clockwise from D.
Final arrangement (clockwise):
Let’s fix:
- A at Position 1 (Top)
- C at Position 5 (second to the left/anticlockwise of A)
- B at Position 3 (since C is 2nd to the right/clockwise of B)
- D opposite B at Position 6
- F sits 2nd to the right (clockwise) of D = Position 2
- E remains at Position 4
Seating order (clockwise):
A – F – B – E – C – D
Question: Who sits second to the right of B?
- From B at Position 3, second to the right (clockwise) is D at Position 6.
So, Answer is D, but “D” is not an option.
Let’s check what options mean:
- E — Position 4
- B — Position 3
- C — Position 5
- A — Position 1
But the correct position second to the right of B is D, and D is not in the options.
Possibility: If there is a misprint, correct answer is D (not given).
Since among given options, none are correct, but if you must mark, you should state:
Correct answer: D (not listed in options)
Final Answer:
None of the options are correct. Actual answer is D (missing in options).
64. Students of a school were standing in a line for the assembly. Aarvi is fifth from the front, Jay is eighth from the back. Raghav is at the end. The students between Raghav and Jay is same as that of Jay and Aarvi. Determine the total number of students in the line?
A. 29
B. 30
C. 20
D. 19
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step:
Given:
- Aarvi is 5th from the front.
- Jay is 8th from the back.
- Raghav is at the end (last student).
- The number of students between Raghav and Jay is the same as the number of students between Jay and Aarvi.
Let total number of students = N.
- Jay’s position from the back = 8
⇒ Jay’s position from the front = N – 8 + 1 = N – 7. - Aarvi’s position from the front = 5.
Number of students between Aarvi and Jay =
Number of students between Jay and Raghav =
Since Raghav is at the last position:
(This is because Jay is at position N – 7 from the front, and Raghav is at position N).
According to the question:
Total number of students = 19
Final Answer:
19
65. Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.
KRY : NWR :: PBX : ?
A. RHQ
B. SHQ
C. RGQ
D. SGQ
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step:
We are given:
KRY : NWR :: PBX : ?
1. Relationship between KRY and NWR:
Find the position of each letter:
| K | R | Y |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | 18 | 25 |
| N | W | R |
|---|---|---|
| 14 | 23 | 18 |
What is the pattern?
- K (11) → N (14): +3
- R (18) → W (23): +5
- Y (25) → R (18): -7 (since after Z, it wraps around to A, but here it is going backwards)
So the pattern is: +3, +5, -7
2. Apply this pattern to PBX:
| P | B | X |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | 2 | 24 |
Apply the same shifts:
- P (16) +3 = 19 → S
- B (2) +5 = 7 → G
- X (24) -7 = 17 → Q
So the new letters are: S G Q
3. Therefore, the correct option is:
SGQ
Final Answer:

70. Rearrange the jumbled letters to make meaningful words and then select the one which is different.
A. BOMC
B. NECPLI
C. PENASHRRE
D. ASERRE
Solutions
Let’s rearrange each jumbled word:
- BOMC → COMB
- NECPLI → PENCIL
- PENASHRRE → SHARPENER
- ASERRE → ERASER
All words — COMB, PENCIL, SHARPENER, ERASER — are meaningful, but three are stationery items (PENCIL, SHARPENER, ERASER) while COMB is not.
Odd one out: BOMC (COMB)
71. Three of the following four number triplets are alike in a certain way and one is odd one out. Select the one which is different.
A. (4, 8, 16)
B. (2, 4, 8)
C. (3, 6, 9)
D. (1, 2, 1)
Solutions
Let’s check the pattern for each triplet:
- (4, 8, 16)
Each number is multiplied by 2 to get the next:
4 × 2 = 8, 8 × 2 = 16 - (2, 4, 8)
Same pattern:
2 × 2 = 4, 4 × 2 = 8 - (3, 6, 9)
Here, the pattern is different:
3 × 2 = 6, but 6 × 1.5 = 9 — not multiplied by the same factor. - (1, 2, 1)
No consistent multiplication pattern:
1 × 2 = 2, 2 × 0.5 = 1
Odd one out: (3, 6, 9)
Because the multiplication pattern is inconsistent with the others, where the factor is 2 throughout.
Correct Answer: (3, 6, 9)
72. In a certain code language, ‘PUTRE’ is written as ‘RXXWK’ and ‘DGHKL’ is written as ‘FJLPR’. How will ‘ZSHJL’ be written in that language?
A. BVROL

Solutions
Let’s decode the pattern step by step.
For PUTRE → RXXWK:
- P → R (+2)
- U → X (+3)
- T → X (+4)
- R → W (+5)
- E → K (+6)
Similarly for DGHKL → FJLPR:
- D → F (+2)
- G → J (+3)
- H → L (+4)
- K → P (+5)
- L → R (+6)
Apply the same pattern (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6) to ZSHJL:
- Z → B (+2)
- S → V (+3)
- H → L (+4)
- J → O (+5)
- L → R (+6)
So, ZSHJL → BVLOR
Correct Answer: BVLOR

74. Seven items A, B, C, D, E, F and G are with different weights.
1. E is heavier than G but lighter than A.
2. G is heavier than two items.
3. A is lighter than D and F.
4. C does not have least weight.
In this context, which one of the following statements is correct?
A. D is the heaviest.
B. E is heavier than B.
C. C is heavier than E.
D. F is the heaviest.
Solutions
Let’s solve this step by step:
Given:
- E > G, but E < A ⇒ A > E > G
- G is heavier than two items ⇒ There are 2 items lighter than G.
- A is lighter than D and F ⇒ D & F > A
- C is not the lightest ⇒ C ≠ lightest.
So far, the basic order:
D/F > A > E > G > ? > ?
Also, G is heavier than two items, so there are exactly two items lighter than G — let them be B and C (in some order).
But C cannot be the lightest, so B is the lightest, then C.
So:
D/F > A > E > G > C > B
The order is nearly complete.
Now let’s check each statement:
- D is the heaviest — Possible but not certain, as F could also be. (Not definitely correct)
- E is heavier than B — YES — from above: E > G > C > B
- C is heavier than E — NO — E is heavier than G, C is below G.
- F is the heaviest — Possible but not certain (like D).
Correct Option: “E is heavier than B.
