the addition of numbers are done in the format i.e

14×2 +4 = 32

32×2 -4 =60

60×2 +4 =124

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

P +2=S ( P, QR, S)

E-2=B ( E, DC, B) similarly others letters are given below

R+2=U

S+2=V

O-2=L

N+2=Q

A-2=X

L+2=O

making SBUVLQXO the correct code for personal

Question 10

Which two signs should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
868 + 14 × 55 − 1064 ÷ 56 = 117

Downloaded from cracku.in

A ÷ and ×

B + and −

C × and −

D + and ÷
Answer: B

Explanation:
Given

868+14 × 55 - 1064 ÷ 56

now solving the equation using BODMAS

868+14 × 55-19

868+770-19

=1617

but according to question we have 868+ ×55 - 1064 ÷ 56 = 117

hence the difference between the answers is 1617-117 = 1500

so we need to substract 1500 from the equation to get the correct values which can be done by replacing the sign of plus "+" with that
of minus "-"

so that the equation gets corrected i.e 868-770+19 is 117.

Question 17

In the month of June, the number of girls in a class was half of the number of boys. In July, five more girls took admission, whereas
five boys left the school. Now, the number of boys and girls is equal in the class. How many students in total were there in the class in
June?

A 20

B 30

C 25

D 35

Answer: B

Explanation:
according to the question we know

in the month of june number of girls were half of the number of boys present i.e
1
girls(g) = 2 boys(b)

but in the month of july, as 5 new girls took admission to the school total number of girls now are g+5

and similarly in the same month 5 boys left the school making the number of boys to be b-5

now with this the total number of boys and girls now became equal i.e

=> g+5 = b-5

we know g is half of b so apply the same value in the above given equation we get
1
2 b+5=b-5

b+10 = 2b-10

b=20

therefore similarly g = 10

hence number of boys in the month of june = 20

number of girls in the month of june = 10

so the total number of students in the month of june is 10+20=30

Question 18

Three different positions of the same dice are shown. Find the number on the face opposite the face showing '3' ?

A 2

B 6

C 4

Answer: A

Explanation:
as the information given through the image we know that 6 4 and 1 lies on the same side and adjacent to each other where as 1 2 and 5
lies on differet planes but 1 and 5 are on same plane so we can say that 1 4 6 and 5 are the four sides of the plane and 2 and 3 are the
top and the bottom

hence making 2 opposite of 3

Question 19

Select the term that will come next in the following series.
JVD, MTF, PRH, ?, VNL

A SPJ

B SQJ

C RQI

D RPJ

Answer: A

Explanation:
the series goes like +2,-1,+1

ABCDEFG

HIJKL MN

OPQRST

UVWXYZ

So for every first letter in the group of letters we add +2 making a series like J,M,P,S,V

J +2=M (J K L than M)

and for every second letter in the group of letter we go one letter back that is -1 making the series V,T,R,P,N

V-1=T (T U AND V)

now for the third letter in the group of letters we do +1 making the series D,F,H,J,L

D+1=F (D E AND F)

So doing this the answer we get is SPJ that is option A

442 : 21

A 257 : 16

B 223 : 13

C 323 : 19

D 238 : 14

Answer: A

Explanation:
we know that the square of 21 is 441 and the ratio given is in similar way with just a slight difference of +1

Downloaded from cracku.in

the similarly format is followed by 257 and 16 where 256 is the square of 16 and adding 1 to it makes it 257

where as square of 13 is 169

14 is 196

non of them have the similar format except the first option

so the correct answer is 162 +1 =257

__QDPC__QCQ__CPDQC_DP_PD

A PCPDDPDC

C QCPDDPQC

D QCDDDPQD

Answer: C

Explanation:
this series consists of four alphabets QP and CD and each Q pairing with C and D respectively and each P again pairing with C and D
respectively making three pairs in total

firstly if we see the given letters we notice that a similar set of letters are repeated in some kind of sequence

it is also noticable that the after every Q and P there is C or D

and after every set of two Q's there is set of two P's

and C and D are written alphabetically

so we can infer that the missing words are in following series is Q C Q D P C P D Q C Q D P C P D Q C Q D P C P D

II. Some schools are parks.
III. No park is a college.

A Only conclusions I and III follow.

B Only conclusions II and III follow.

C Only conclusions I and II follow.

D All the conclusions follow.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Downloaded from cracku.in

The above shown is the venn diagram representing the situation given in the question where

S stands for school P stands for park and C stands for college

as the statement says all park are school so the entire smaller circle lies inside the bigger circle but no school is college so a cross is
drawn in between the circles representing no connection between school and college

now as the conclusion I says no college is school holds true for the given situation

and conclusion II says some school are park yes even this might be true as because if all parks are school than some school may also
be park

now for conclusion III, no park is college also is true as, if no school is college and all park is school than no park is college holds
correct

making all the three conclusion to be true which is shown in the above venn diagram

1
A 3 5 days

B 12 days

C 16 days

D 1
5 3 days

Downloaded from cracku.in

 Answer: C

Explanation:
Total work = L.C.M of 10, 15 and 20 = 60 units

(A + B)’s 1 day work = 60/10 = 6 units ------i

(B + C)’s 1 day work = 60/15 = 4 units ------ii

(A + C)’s 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 units ------iii

2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day work = 13 units

(A + B + C)’s 1 day work = 13/2 units ------------iv

From i and iv
13 1
C's 1 day work = 2 −6= 2
13
(A+B+C)'s 8 day work = 2 × 8 = 52 units
Remaining work = 60 - 52= 8 units.

So, C can do remaining work = 8 × 2 = 16 days.

Question 61

If one of the angles of a triangle is 64∘ , then the angle between the bisectors of the other two interior angles is:

A 96∘

B 122∘

C 112∘

D 100∘
Answer: B

Explanation:
Let A, B and C are three angles of a triangle

Sum of three angles are 180 degrees

Let angle A = 64 degrees

Angle B + Angle C = 180 - 64 = 116 degrees

116
After bisecting Angle B and Angle C, Sum of B and C = 2 = 58
Hence, the angle between the bisectors of the other two interior angles = 180 - 58 = 122 degrees.

a+b+c
3 = 4d
a+b+c=12d
