 SOLUTIONS:
1. The first letter of each term is moved three steps forward and the last letter is moved two steps
backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term.
The numbers follow the sequence x 2 + 1, x 2 + 2, x 2 + 3, x 2 + 4.
So, 10 is wrong and must be replaced by (4 x 2 + 1) i.e. 9.

2. The logic is
30 *1.5 = 45
45* 2= 90
90*2.5 = 225
225*3 = 675
675 * 3.5 = 2362.5

3. Only son of her grandfather – her father; man’s brother’s father- man’s father. So, man’s father is her
father ie, She is the man’s sister.
4. P studies English.
5. Clearly the incorrect combination is English- Hostel
6. S stays in hostel and R stays at home.
7. Q studies History or Statistics.
8. Q and R stay at home.
9. An aerie is where an eagle lives; a house is where a person lives.
10. Both the premises are A type propositions. So, in either, the middle term 'handles' forming the
predicate is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no
definite conclusion follows.
11. This is an G.P series in which a= 5; r= 2
10th term= ar(n-1) = 5*2 (10-1) = 5*2 9 = 2560
12. The given expression 9÷18x15+3-6x12. By converting the symbols according to the given definitions,
we get 9-18+15÷3x6+12 solving this by BODMAS rule,we get the value as 33.
13. If the shopkeeper is allowed to continue without being punished, the shopkeeper would create
problem elsewhere. So, course I follows.

14.

15. The alphabets are coded as follows:

D E L H I C A U T
7 3 5 4 1 8 2 9 6
 So, in CALICUT, C is coded as 8, A as 2, L as 5, U as 9 and T as 6. Thus, the code for CALICUT is
8251896.

16. Being the largest democratic country in the world is not the reason for being categorized as flawed
democracy.
17. First, 5 five minutes he thinks, next five minutess he write code then takes a break. So for the first 15
mins he writes 50 lines of code. Next 5 minutes he write, then 5 min. think & 5 minutes rest. Next 10
minutes write, then 5 minutes rest. Next 5 minutes think, 5 minutes write and 5 minutes he takes rest.
25 minutes he write. In 10 min he writes 100 lines. So in 25 min. 250 lines.
18. There are 60 minutes in an hour. In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * ¾) minutes = 45 minutes. In ¾ of an
hour there are (60 * 45) seconds = 2700 seconds. Light flashed for every 6 seconds. In 2700 seconds
2700/6 = 450 times. The count start after the first flash, the light will flashes 451 times in ¾ of an
hour. So option b.
19. Both II and III required
Explanation :
20)

21) Total number of Q type cars produced in 2001 =(60 - 40)% of 4,40,000 = 88,000.
Total number of Q type cars produced in 2000 =(45 - 30)% of 3,50,000 = 52,500.
Therefore Required difference = (88000 - 52500) = 35,500.
22) Analysis of the graph:
We shall first determine the number of cars of each model produced by the Company during the two years:
In 2000 : Total number of cars produced = 3,50,000.
P = (30 - 0)% of 3,50,000 = 30% of 3,50,000 = 1,05,000.
Q = (45 - 30)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,000.
R = (65 - 45)% of 3,50,000 = 20% of 3,50,000 = 70,000.
S = (75 - 65)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000.
T = (90 - 75)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,000.
U = (100 - 90)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000.
In 2001 : Total number of cars produced = 4,40,000.
P = (40 - 0)% of 4,40,000 = 40% of 4,40,000 = 1,76,000.
Q = (60 - 40)% of 4,40,000 = 20% of 4,40,000 = 88,000.
R = (75 - 60)% of 4,40,000 = 15% of 4,40,000 = 66,000.
S = (85 - 75)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000.
T = (95 - 85)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000.
U = (100 - 95)% of 4,40,000 = 5% of 4,40,000 = 22,000.
Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufacture in 200
= (105000 + 52500 + 52500)
= 2,10,000.
23) If the percentage production of P type cars in 2001
= Percentage production of P type cars in 2000
= 30%. then, number of P type cars produced in 2001
= 30% of 4,40,000
= 1,32,000.
24) Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 35,000
and number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 44,000.
Therefore Total number of S type cars which remained unsold
= 15% of (35,000 + 44,000)
= 15% of 79,000
= 11,850.

26) In each triangle, the central number equals the sum of the three outer numbers divided by two.
27) Cheryl cannot be the secretary, since she's the CEO, nor can Enid, because she drives a green car, and the
secretary drives a yellow car. David's, the purple car, is in the last space. Alice is the secretary, because her car
is parked next to David's, which is where the secretary's car is parked.
28) The CEO drives a red car and parks in the first space. Enid drives a green car; Bert's car is not in the first
space; David's is not in the first space, but the last. Alice's car is parked next to David's, so Cheryl is the CEO.
29) The vice president's car cannot be red, because that is the CEO's car, which is in the first space. Nor can it
be purple, because that is the treasurer's car, which is in the last space, or yellow, because that is the
secretary's. The president's car must be blue, because it is parked between a red car (in the first space) and a
green car, which must be the vice president's.
30) Writing each letter as its numerical value and working in rows, add the top 2 digit number to the bottom 2
digit number to give the 3 digit result in the centre.
