Q. 26 In a certain code language, TIFFIN is coded as 67 and BOX is coded as 44. How will CARDBOARD be coded as in that language?
(A) 69
(B) 67
(C) 66
(D) 64
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Given, TIFFIN is coded as 67 and BOX is coded as 44 in the code language
The logic here is
T + I + F + F + I + N + 3 = 20 + 9 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 14 + 3 = 67
(B) + O + X + 3 = 2 + 15 + 24 + 3 = 41 + 3 = 44
The code value is the sum of the corresponding values of letters and 3
Similarly,
(C) + (A) + R + (D) + (B) + O + (A) + R + (D) + 3 = 3 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 2 + 15 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 3 = 69
∴ CARDBOAR(D) is coded as 69 in the code language
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 27 Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Conclusions:
I. All cycles are cars.
II. All cars are cycles.
(A) Only conclusion II follows
(B) Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
(C) Only conclusion I follows.
(D) Both conclusions I and II follow.
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The basic diagram for the given statements is
I. All cycles are cars
From the basic diagram, all cycles are not cars. Hence conclusion I do not follow.
II. All cars are cycles
From the basic diagram, all cars are cycles. Hence conclusion follows.
∴ Only conclusion II follows the given statements
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)

(B) (125, 216, 343)
(C) (63, 123, 213)
(D) (126, 217, 344)
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
26 = 27 − 1 = 33 − 1
63 = 64 − 1 = 43 − 1
124 = 125 − 1 = 53 − 1 All the numbers are in the form of Similarly,
63 = 64 − 1 = 43 − 1
124 = 125 − 1 = 53 − 1 215 = 216 − 1 = 63 − 1 ∴
n3 − 1

(B) (15, 38, 13)
(C) (18, 89, 15)
(D) (12, 64, 10)
Answer: (A)

The logic here is
(11 + 8) × 3 = 19 × 3 = 57⟶ (first number + third number) × 3 = second number Similarly,
(15 + 12) × 3 = 27 × 3 = 81⟶ (first number + third number) × 3 = second number ∴
(15, 81, 12) is related in the same way (11, 57, 8) are related.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)

(A) 84
(B) 64
(C) 82
(D) 86
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
2 x 2 – 2 = 2
2 x 2 + 2 = 6
6 x 2 – 2 = 10
10 x 2 + 2 = 22
22 x 2 – 2 = 42
Similarly, the next number in the series = 42 x 2 + 2 = 86
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

Q. 59 If 7129p465 is divisible by 9, then the value of p is:
(A) 4
(B) 3
(C) 0
(D) 2
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given:
7129p465 is divisible by 9. We have to find the value of p
Concept Used:
If a number is divisible by 9, then the sum of its all digit will also be divisible by 9
Calculation:
Given number is 7129p465
The sum of all digits of the number is 7 + 1 + 2 + 9 + p + 4 + 6 + 5
⇒ (34 + p)
Now,
9 × 1 = 9
9 × 2 = 18
9 × 3 = 27
9 × 4 = 36
9 × 5 = 45 and so on…
Nearest number to (34 + p) which is a multiple of 9 is 36
Then, (34 + p) = 36
⇒ p = 2
∴ The value of p is 2

What is the average of percentage of the failed students of the 12th class for all four years?
(A) 23%
(B) 25.25%
(C) 25.75%
(D) 23.75%
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
From the bar graph,
Percentage of failed students of 12th class in 2016 = 100 – 71 = 29%
Percentage of failed students of 12th class in 2017 = 100 – 82 = 18%
Percentage of failed students of 12th class in 2018 = 100 – 66 = 34%
Percentage of failed students of 12th class in 2019 = 100 – 84 = 16%
∴ Average of percentage of the failed students of the 12th class for all four years = 29+18+34+14/4 = 95/4 = 23.75%
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

Q. 70 The given graph represents the rainfall (in cm) in a city, over a period of six years. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.
In which two consecutive years was the difference of the rainfall minimum?
(A) 2006 – 2007
(B) 2007 – 2008
(C) 2008 – 2009
(D) 2005 – 2006
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
From the graph,
Difference of rainfall of the two consecutive years 2005 – 2006 = |50 – 40| = 10
Difference of rainfall of the two consecutive years 2006 – 2007 = |100 – 50| = 50
Difference of rainfall of the two consecutive years 2007 – 2008 = |80 – 100| = 20
Difference of rainfall of the two consecutive years 2008 – 2009 = |20 – 80| = 60
