  1. How many such pairs of digits are there in the number 153826 each of which has as many digits between them in the number as when the digits are rearranged in descending order within the number?
    A) None
    B) One
    C) Two
    D) Three
    E) More than three
    D) Three
    Explanation:

    153826
    In descending order – 865321
    Pairs – 13, 58, 53

  2. FIG : EGHJFH :: BIN : ?
    A) CAJHOM
    B) ACHJMO
    C) ACJHMO
    D) CAHJMO
    E) None of these
    B) ACHJMO
    Explanation:

    FIG – 6 9 7
    F-1 = 5(E)
    F+1 = 7(G)
    I-1 = 8(H)
    I+1 = 10(J)
    G-1 = 6(F)
    G+1 = 8(H)

  3. If TRICKS is written as 299321 in a certain code language, then how is SYMBOL written in that code?
    A) 174263
    B) 188522
    C) 123865
    D) 917431
    E) None of these
    A) 174263
    Explanation:

    T = 20 = 2+0
    R = 18 = 1+8
    I = 9
    C = 3
    K = 11 = 1+1
    S = 19 = 1+9 = 1+0

  4. How many pairs of letters are there in the word REASONING, each of which have as many letters between then in the word as they have between then in the English alphabet?
    A) None
    B) One

  5. Prerna is sitting 15th from the right end of a row of 25 girls facing south and Supriya is 19th from the left end. How many girls are sitting between Prerna and Supriya?
    A) 9
    B) 4
    C) 5
    D) 7
    E) None of these
    D) 7
    Explanation:

    Up to Supriya 19 people from left and up to Prerna 15 people from right.
    Since 19+15 > 25, so find what is Supriya’s position from right and Prerna’s position from left.
    Supriya is (25-19)+1 = 7th position from right. Prerna is (25-15)+1 = 11th position from left
    So in between them 25-(7+11) = 7

Directions (6-7): Assume everything to be correct in the statement and then answer which of the assumptions given is implicit according to the statement. (An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted.)

  1. Statement: The High Court has ordered the state government to submit the case papers of the hit and run case involving actor Mr. A and directed the police not to allow him or his family members to meet the victims.

    A) if only I is implicit.
    B) if only II is implicit.
    C) if both I and II are implicit.
    D) if either I or II is implicit.
    E) if neither I nor II is implicit.
    A) if only I is implicit.
    Explanation:

    We have to check the assumption, where I is implicit. II is not an assumption based on given statement.

  2. Statement: The Airport was put to alert when it received an anonymous message that two terrorist with explosives are going to board a flight from the airport.

    A) if only I is implicit.
    B) if only II is implicit.
    C) if both I and II are implicit.
    D) if either I or II is implicit.
    E) if neither I nor II is implicit.
    C) if both I and II are implicit.
    Explanation:

    It can be assumed that it is a true call, that’s why airport was put on alert, and also alertness can help in reducing the menace.

Directions (8-9): Assume everything to be correct in the statement and then answer which of the conclusions given logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

    D) 3√5 km
    E) 6√5 km
    E) 6√5 km
    Explanation: main_day10

    PO = 5+2+5
    PQ = √PO2 + OQ2
    PQ = √122 + 62 = √180
