(A) BADGECRO
(B) BADGECOR
(C) BADGEFOR
(D) ABDGECOR
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Given, OPERATION is written as PNFPBRJMM in the code language
The logic here is
O + 1 = P
P – 2 = N
E + 1 = F
R – 2 = P
A + 1 = B
T – 2 = R
I + 1 = J
O – 2 = M
N + 1 = M
The alternate letters are added with 1 and subtracted with 2 respectively
Similarly,
A + 1 = B
C – 2 = A
C + 1 = D
I – 2 = G
D + 1 = E
E – 2 = C
N + 1 = O
T – 2 = R
∴ ACCIDENT is written as BADGECOR in the code language

(18 ÷ 9) + 9 × 8 = 24
(A) +, ×
(B) +, ÷
(C) ×, ÷
(D) 18, 8
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
By Trial and Error method,
Option (A)
(18 ÷ 9) × 9 + 8 = 24
2 × 9 + 8 = 24
18 + 8 = 24
26 = 24
Hence Option (A) is incorrect
Option (B)
(18 + 9) ÷ 9 × 8 = 24
27 ÷ 9 × 8 = 24
3 × 8 = 24
24 = 24
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)
Q. 46 Study the given pattern in the question figure carefully and select the option from the answer figures that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(A) B
(B) D
(C) C
(D) A
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
In the given figure,
Along the columns the vertical lines are increasing by 1 and the horizontal lines are remaining same. Similarly, from the 3rd column the required figure has 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines.
∴ The required figure is figure (C)
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)
Q. 47 Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(A) 22
(B) 17
(C) 49
(D) 65
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The logic along the rows is,
5 × 6 – 4 = 26
7 × 6 – 5 = 37
Similarly,
4 × 8 – 10 = 22
∴ The required value is 22
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 48 Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(A) 16
(B) 26
(C) 12
(D) 20
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
The logic here is
13 + 19 = 32 = 4 × 8
71 + 9 = 80 = 10 × 8
The sum of top numbers is equal to the product of bottom number and 8.
Let the required number = a
Similarly, ⇒
128 + 32 = a × 8
8a = 160
⇒ a = 20
∴ The required number = 20
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)

13 : 17 :: 73 : ?
(A) 78
