As, Similarly,
C C C C
A L I R
L A R I
A N C U
N A U C
D E L A
E D A L

R R R R

Hence, option (b) is correct.

3. (a) As, we all know that, tree yields fruits and according to code tree is called sky. So, sky
yields fruits.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
2 1 2 1
4. (b) As, 0.02 = = and 0.002 = =
100 50 1000 500
i.e. the denominator is multiplied by 10
1 1 1 1 1 1
Similarly, : ? = : ´ = :
3 3 3 10 3 30
Hence, option (b) is correct.

5. (d) As car is controlled via Steering wheel. Similarly, motorcycle is controlled via handle
bar.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

6. (c) On putting the value of letters we get,

F- W+ R+ F= ?
= 7 -6 + 4 + 7
= 7 - 6 + 11
= 1 + 11 = 12 = 0
Missing letter is ‘0’.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

11
 7. (c) Option (c) figure contains figure (X) as its part.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

8. (a) Here, W = 4 and T = 7

Now,
T E N
¯ ¯ ¯
7 + 22 + 13 = 42
Then,
S W E E T
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
8 + 4 + 22 + 22 + 7 = 63
So, the code for SWEET is 63. Hence, option (a) is correct.

9. (c) On the basis of given information, the arrangement of five people is shown below

Sandwich Lays Pizza Pepsi Milk Shake Pastry

Ajay U X X X U X
Pihu X U X U X U

Similarly, J I H Q R S

Opposite Letter

Here, opposite letter of each letter in English alphabet is given.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

12
11. (a) Here, (Top left number ´ Top right number) ¸ 3 = Bottom number
39 ´ 1
In figure I, = 13
3
4´3
In figure II, =4
3
8 ´6
Similarly, in figure III, = = 16
3
Hence, option (a) is correct.

12. (c) In, row I,

1 ´ 5 = 5, 5 ´ 5 = 25, 25 ´ 5 = 125
In row III,
7 ´ 2 = 14, 14 ´ 2 = 28, 28 ´ 2 = 56
Similarly, in row II,
3 ´ 4 = 12, 12 ´ 4 = 48, 48 ´ 4 = 192
So, 48 replaces the (?).
Hence, option (c) is correct.

13. (b) The people who speak all the three languages is represented by ‘U’, which is common
to all the three circles.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

14. (c) Using the correct symbols, we have

given expression,
15 - 3 + 10 ´ 5 ¸ 5 = 15 ´ 3 - 10 ¸ 5 + 5
= 45 - 2 + 5 = 50 - 2 = 48
So, 48 will replace the (?).
Hence, option (c) is correct.

15. (a) Using the correct symbols, we have

given expression, 65 P 5 D 3 T 27 M 16 T 2 = 65 ¸ 5 ´ 3 + 27 - 16 + 2 = 13 ´ 3 + 27 - 16 + 2
= 39 + 29 - 16 = 68 - 16 = 52
So, 52 will replace the (?).
Hence, option (a) is correct.

16. (c) The correct mirror image is

QUALITY YTILAUQ

Hence, option (c) is correct.

13
17. (d) The correct mirror image of figure (X) is

18. (b)
Layer VI
(1 × 1)
Layer V
(2 × 2)
Layer IV
(2 × 2)
Layer III
(3 × 3)
Layer II
(3 × 3)
Layer I
(3 × 3)

Here, there are 9 cubes each in layers, I, II and III, 4 cubes each in layer IV and V and 1
cube in layer VI.
\Total number of cubes = 9 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 36
Hence, option (b) is correct.

19. (d) With the help of option (d), we get two words i.e. ‘TWET’ and ‘TEAR’.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

20. (a) As, Oval is the figure which is similar to the Circle, in the same way Rectangle is the
figure which is similar to Square as both of them have four corners.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

21. (c) After decoding the given code we get,

Sachin is great ga ma ra
is he poor ta sa ga

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), is Þ ga

Hence, option (c) is correct.

14
22. (b) As,
+ – + –
Myself My wife My wife’s brother Sheela + Male
– Female
–
Daughter (Moni)

So, Moni is niece of my wife.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

23. (b) The direction diagram can be drawn as shown below

N clockwise N

NW
45°
W E W E
45° O O
clockwise
SW
S S
(a) SW is called W (b) NW is called N

W E

45°
clockwise
S
Here, each direction moves 45° in clockwise direction. Thus, East when moved clockwise
through 45° will become South-East as shown below.
N

W 45° E
clockwise
SE
S
Hence, option (b) is correct.

15
24. (b) As given, the letters are coded as

Letters G I V E B A T
Symbols @ ★ $ # + > <

Here, B is coded as +, I is coded as H,

T is coded as < and E is coded as #.
So, the code for BITE is + H < #.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

25. (d) Using correct symbols, we have

given statement,
a - b - c Þ a< b< c
Option (a) , a - b + c Þ a< b > c ¹ a< b< c ¹ a< b< c (False)
Option (b), c ´ b + a
Þ c > b > a Þ c £ b > a ¹ a< b< c (False)
Option (c), a £ b £ c
Þ a ¹ b ¹ c ¹ a< b< c (False)
Option (d) c + b + a
Þ c > b > a Þ a< b< c (True)
Hence, option (d) is correct.

26. (c) The face having 3 dots is common in both positions. So, moving clockwise starting from
3, we get

Position (i) 3 4 6

Position (ii)
3 5 2
Common Opposite Opposite

So, it is clear that the face having 6 dots will be at the top, when the face having 2 dots is
at bottom. Hence, option (c) is correct.

27. (b) With the help of option (b), ‘TY’ letters we get ‘GRAVITY’ and ‘TYPING’.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

28. (c) M O E A S J T Z
EAST = 7624
3 5 7 6 2 9 4 0

So, the correct number code for the given set of letters EAST is 7624.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

16
29. (d) Some clothes are bright and some flowers are also bright, but not all bright things are
clothes or flowers. Also, clothes and flowers are not related. This can be represented as

Clothes Flowers

Bright Things

Hence, option (d) is correct.

30. (c) The correct water image of the figure (X) is

Hence, option (c) is correct.

31. (b) In this question, 1 2 1 5

2 1 5 1
We change the positions of digits in a pair of two digits each.
Similarly, 1 1 1 3

1 1 3 1

1113 becomes 1131. Hence, option (b) is correct.

32. (d) As, Nest is made up of Straws, in the same way Cloth is made up of Threads.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

33. (a) Let us draw the family relationship diagram.

P

anti-clockwise to face South-East, then
N

W E
Dominos
135°
SE
S anti- clockwise

From the above figure, it is clearly shown that the DOMINOS is in WEST and moving
anti-clockwise from West to South-East, 135° angle is formed.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

35. (c) Vertical and horizontal line segments are added to the figure alternately. Hence, option
(c) is correct.

36. (d)

Common to the circle and square

Hence, option (d) is correct.

37. (d) Option (d) showing the unfolded appearance after the cut.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

38. (b) Except in figure (b), all the other figures comprise of a 6 line segments.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

39. (a) From the given word ‘CHANGE’ is the only word which cannot be formed due to the
absence of letter ‘G’.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

40. (d) According to the question,
