Given: ‘AND’ is written as ‘C-LP-F’ and ‘NOR’ is coded
1. the correct answer is "Option 3". as ‘P-MQ-T’.
The logic followed here is: The logic followed here is:
(1st number - 2nd number)2 × 2 = 3rd number
For (24, 10, 392):
(24 - 10)2 × 2 = 14² × 2 = 196 × 2 = 392
Option 1: (26, 12, 369)
(26 - 12)2 × 2 = 142 × 2 = 196 × 2 = 392 ≠ 369
Option 2: (27, 15, 480) And,
(27 - 15)2 × 2 = 122 × 2 = 144 × 2 = 288 ≠ 480
Option 3: (29, 18, 242)
(29 - 18)2 × 2 =112 × 2 = 121 × 2 = 242
Option 4: (21, 18, 234)
(21 - 18)2 × 2 = 32 × 2 = 9 × 2 = 18 ≠ 234
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Similarly,
2. the correct answer is "Option 1".

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
Hence, D-SW-V is the correct answer.

By checking options, 5. the correct answer is "Option 4".

(1) NPSV Awful : Nice : : Nomadic : Settled

1. Success 2. Surreal 3. Succumb 4. Suction 5.

(2) QTWZ Surrogate 6. Surprise
6. Option 4 is the correct order: 1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 5

(3) XADG
7. the correct answer is "Option 5".

(4) BEHK Given: 'SAFETY' is coded as '80' and 'EXPAND' is

coded as '68'.
The logic followed here is:
Hence, NPSV is the odd one. • Sum of positional values + no. of consonants in
the word
3. the correct answer is "Option 1". Letters S A F E T Y
Given: BOARD, BOARW, BOAIW, ?, BLZIW, YLZIW Positional Values 19 1 6 5 20 25
The logic followed here is:
• one letter starting from the last letter of the word Sum of Positional 19 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 20 + 25 =
BOARD is changed to its opposite letter in each step Values 76
as shown below,
Number of consonants = 4
Now, 76 + 4 = 80
Letters E X P A N D

Positional Values 5 24 16 1 14 4

Sum of Positional 5 + 24 + 16 + 1 + 14 + 4 =

Number of consonants = 4
Now, 64 + 4 = 68
Similarly,
Letters G A T H E R

Positional Values 7 1 20 8 5 18
Hence, BOZIW is the correct answer.
Sum of Positional 7 + 1 + 20 + 8 + 5 + 18 =

The pattern followed here is: The difference between
the numbers in each pair is 1234. Let's check each
10. Option 4 is correct option:
She (girl) is my (Raghav) father's mother's daughter's 5237 : 4003 → 5237 - 4003 = 1234
only brother's daughter, implies Raghav's father is the 4327 : 2003 → 4327 - 2003 = 2324
father of that girl. Therefore, the final family tree is as 3527 : 2293 → 3527 - 2293 = 1234
follows, 2347 : 1113 → 2347 - 1113 = 1234
Hence, 4327 : 2003 is the odd one.

18. Correct Option: A. Doctors and lawyers can be
