Q. 26 Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series
10, 26, 50, 82, ?
(A) 121
(B) 101
(C) 169
(D) 122
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
The logic here is
26 – 10 = 16
50 – 26 = 24
82 – 50 = 32
The difference between the numbers of the series is multiple of 8
The next difference should be 40
∴ Required number = 82 + 40 = 122
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)
Q. 27 How many triangles are present in the given figure?
(A) 22
(B) 26
(C) 24
(D) 28
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The different triangles in the figure ACG are CBD, BED, DEF, DFG, ABE, AFE, ABD, AFD, ACD, AGD, ACG
⇒ Number of triangles in figure ACG = 11
The figure HIJ is similar to figure ACG.
⇒ Number of triangles in figure HIJ = Number of triangles in figure ACG = 11
∴ Number of triangles in the given figure = 11 + 11 = 22
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 28 If a mirror is placed on line PQ in the question figure, then which of the given answer figures is the correct mirror image of the question figure?
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
When a mirror is placed on the line PQ,
The facing of the figure to the left and right direction changes to opposite direction in mirror image(right facing changes to left and vice versa). There won’t be change in top and bottom direction.
The curved part above the line which is open towards right will be open towards left in the mirror image. The curved part below the line which is open towards left will be open towards right in the mirror image. ∴
The mirror image of the given figure is
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

Q. 31 Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
(72 ÷ 18) + 30 × 8 − 4 = 20
(A) + and –
(B) + and ×
(C) × and ÷
(D) + and ÷
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
By Trial and Error method,
Option (A)
(72 ÷ 18) − 30 × 8 + 4 = 20
4 − 30 × 8 + 4 = 20
4 − 240 + 4 = 20
−232 = 20
Hence Option (A) is incorrect
Option (B)
(72 ÷ 18) × 30 + 8 − 4 = 20
4 × 30 + 8 − 4 = 20
120 + 8 − 4 = 20
124 = 20
Hence Option (B) is incorrect
Option (C)
(72 × 18) + 30 ÷ 8 − 4 = 20
1296 + 30 ÷ 8 − 4 = 20
1296 + 3.75 − 4 = 20
After solving the value will be decimal which is not possible
Option (D)
(72 + 18) ÷ 30 × 8 − 4 = 20
90 ÷ 30 × 8 − 4 = 20
3 × 8 − 4 = 20
24 − 4 = 20
20 = 20
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

M – 2 = K
K – 2 = I
Similarly, the next number of the series = I – 2 = G
∴ Next number of the given series is G
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)
Q. 35 Identify the letter-cluster that does NOT belong to the following series.
DE, GH, JK, NM, PQ
(A) PQ

In the series 5, 10, 20, ….
5 × 2 = 10
10 × 2 = 20
Number in the series is twice the previous number.
Similarly, the next number = 20 × 2 = 40
∴ Next number of the given series is 40
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)
Q. 42 The sum of the ages of a mother, daughter and son is 96 years. What will be the sum of their ages after 5 years?
(A) 111
(B) 105
(C) 110

Let the age of mother, daughter and son are M, D, S respectively.
Given, the sum of the ages of a mother, daughter and son is 96 years
⇒ M + D + S = 96 ……..(1)
Sum of their ages after 5 years = M + 5 + D + 5 + S + 5
= M + D + S + 15
= 96 + 15
= 111
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 43 In a certain code language, OPERATION is written as POFQBSJNO. How will INVISIBLE be written as in that language?

Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given, OPERATION is written as POFQBSJNO in the code language
The logic here is
O + 1 = P
P – 1 = O
E + 1 = F
R – 1 = Q
A + 1 = B
T – 1 = S
I + 1 = J
O – 1 = N
N + 1 = O
Similarly,
I + 1 = J
N – 1 = M
V + 1 = W
I – 1 = H
S + 1 = T
I – 1 = H
B + 1 = C
L – 1 = K
E + 1 = F
∴ INVISIBLE is written as JMWHTHCKF in the code language
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)
Q. 44 In a certain code language, 214673 is coded as SEARCH, 73456 is coded as CHAIR and 961473 is coded as PREACH. How will 734673 be coded as in that language?
(A) CARRCH
(B) RHACRH

(D) CHARCH
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given, 214673 is coded as SEARCH, 73456 is coded as CHAIR and 961473 is coded as PREACH in the code language. Here different number is assigned different letter respectively.
2 = S
1 = E
4 = A
6 = R

5 = I
9 = P
∴ 734673 will be coded as CHARCH in the code language
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

(A) 11
(B) 21
(C) 19
(D) 15
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
The logic for the given pattern is
(9 + 1) × 13 = 130
