Q. 29 Study the given pattern carefully and select the letter that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(A) J
(B) K
(C) S
(D) R
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The logic here is
G + L = 7 + 12 = 19
(A) + R = 1 + 18 = 19
The sum of values of the opposite letters is 19.
Similarly, I + ? = 19
⇒ 9 + ? = 19
⇒ ? = 10 = J
∴ Required letter = J
Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 30 Which of the following options is NOT an example of a number triad with the following properties?
1. Sum of the digits of the third number is twice the sum of the digits of the first number.
2. Sum of the digits of the second number is thrice the sum of the digits of the first number.
(A) (201, 702, 303)
(B) (400, 660, 800)
(C) (200, 600, 300)
(D) (111, 207, 222)
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
By Trial and Error method,
Option (A)
Sum of the digits of the first number = 2 + 0 + 1 = 3
Sum of the digits of the second number = 7 + 0 + 2 = 9
Sum of the digits of the third number = 3 + 0 + 3 = 6
(201, 702, 303) follows the given properties. Hence option (A) is incorrect.
Option (B)
Sum of the digits of the first number = 4 + 0 + 0 = 4
Sum of the digits of the second number = 6 + 6 + 0 = 12
Sum of the digits of the third number = 8 + 0 + 0 = 8
(400, 660, 800) follows the given properties. Hence option (B) is incorrect.
Option (C)
Sum of the digits of the first number = 2 + 0 + 0 = 2
Sum of the digits of the second number = 6 + 0 + 0 = 6
Sum of the digits of the third number = 3 + 0 + 0 = 3
Sum of the digits of the third number is not twice the sum of the digits of the first number. Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)
Q. 31 Select the correct equation when the signs ‘+’ and ‘ × ’ and the numbers ‘4’ and ‘8’ are interchanged.
(A) 12 × 4 + 8 = 34
(B) 6 + 8 × 4 = 38
(C) 2 × 4 + 8 = 34
(D) 4 + 8 × 2 = 32
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
By Trial and Error method,
Option (A)
12 + 8 × 4 = 34
12 + 32 = 34
44 = 34
Hence Option (A) is incorrect
Option (B)
6 × 4 + 8 = 38
24 + 8 = 38
32 = 38
Hence Option (B) is incorrect
Option (C)
2 + 8 × 4 = 34
2 + 32 = 34
34 = 34
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)
Q. 32 Two different positions of the same dice are shown. Select the number that will be on the face opposite to the one having ‘4’.
(A) 1

Explanation:
From the first position of the dice, 1 and 5 is not opposite to 3
From the second position of the dice, 1 and 5 is not opposite to 4
⇒ 1 and 5 are opposite to opposite to numbers 2 and 6
⇒ The remaining numbers 3 and 4 are opposite to each other
∴ 3 will be on the face opposite to the one having 4
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)

(D) FX
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
The number of letters between CK = 7
The number of letters between DP = 11
The number of letters between ET = 14
The number of letters between FX = 17
The number of letters between CK, DP, FX is odd whereas the number of letters between ET is even.

BDF, DHL, FLR, ?
(A) HPX
(B) IQY
(C) HPY
(D) HOX
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The logic here is
(B) + 2 = (D) ⟶ (D) + 2 = F ⟶ F + 2 = H
(D) + 4 = H ⟶ H + 4 = L ⟶ L + 4 = P
F + 6 = L ⟶ L + 6 = R ⟶ R + 6 = X
Similarly, the next letter-cluster in the series is HPX

Q. 68 If 4M37094267N is divisible by both 8 and 11, where M and N are single digit integers, then the values of M and N are:
(A) M = 5, N = 6
(B) M = 5, N = 4
(C) M = 5, N = 2
(D) M = 2, N = 5
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Given, 4M37094267N is divisible by both 8 and 11
If the number is divisible by 8, then the three digits should be divisible by 8
⇒ 67N is divisible by 8
⇒ The only possible value for N is 2
If the number is divisible by 11, then
Sum of digits at odd place – Sum of digits at even place = 0 or multiple of 11
⇒ (M+7+9+2+7) – (4+3+0+4+6+N) = 0 or multiple of 11
⇒ M + 25 – 17 – N = 0 or multiple of 11
⇒ M – N + 8 = 0 or multiple of 11
⇒ M – 2 + 8 = 0 or multiple of 11
⇒ M + 6 = 0 or multiple of 11
The possible value is M + 6 = 11
⇒ M = 5
∴ M = 5, N = 2
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)
