ANSWERS:
1. B
Divide each number by 2 to get the next number in the series.
2. B
In this series, each number is repeated, then 13 is subtracted to arrive at the next number.
3. C
In this simple addition series, each number increases by 0.8.
4. D
8x1-2=6
6x2-3=9
9 x 3 - 4 = 23
23 x 4 - 5 = 87
87 x 5 - 6 = 429
5. E
This is an alternating subtraction series with repetition. There are two different patterns
here. In the first, a number repeats itself; then 3 is added to that number to arrive at the
next number, which also repeats. This gives the series 17, 17, 20, 20, 23, and so on. Every
third number follows a second pattern, in which 3 is subtracted from each number to arrive
at the next: 34, 31, 28.
6. C
This is a simple multiplication series. Each number is 2 times greater than the previous number.
7. D
This is an alternating division and addition series: First, divide by 2, and then add 8.
8. C
2 interspersed sequences. First decreasing by one: fedc and second increasing by one: ghi J
9. E
Letters double each time 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 – n
10. D
Every even letter increments by 2
11. C
On logical interpretation of the given statements one can arrive at the following conclusion:
A>B>E>D>C in order of decreasing weight. Hence C is the lightest of all the given fishes.
12.
The first person shook hands with 11 remaining people, the second person also shook hands with 11
people, but we count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been counted. Then
add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one & proceeding in this fashion we get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 +
7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66. Hence 66 hand shakes took place before & 66 after the meeting, for a
total of 132.
13. D
If Georgia is older than Marsha and Bart is older than Georgia, then Marsha has to be the youngest
of the three. Choice b is clearly wrong because Bart is the oldest. There is no information in the
paragraph to support either choice a or choice c.
14. C
Since the paragraph states that Marlee is the younger cousin, Sara must be older than Marlee. There
is no information to support the other choices.
15. D
Since the middle term 'good athletes' is distributed twice in the premises, the conclusion must be
particular and should not contain the middle term. So it follows that 'Some of those who win, eat
well'.
16. D
The subject in both the conclusions is vague. The true conclusion is 'No young scientist is
superstitious'. Thus, neither I nor II follows.
17. C
Since each combination of premises shall contain two particular premises, no definite conclusion
can be drawn. However, II and III are statements involving the extreme terms of the last two
premises and form a complementary pair. Thus, either II or III follows.
18. B
Since each combination of premises shall contain two particular premises, no definite conclusion
can be drawn.
19. A
The yarn, twine, and cord are all used for tying. The tape is not used in the same way.
20. D
Fair, just, and equitable are all synonyms meaning impartial. Favorable means expressing approval.
21. B
Unique, rare, and exceptional are all synonyms. Beautiful has a different meaning.
22. A
Flourish, prosper, and thrive are all synonyms; excite does not mean the same thing.
23. B
We know from the first two statements that Lily runs fastest. Therefore, the third statement must
be false.
24. B
From the first two statements, we know that of the three classes, Class A has the highest enrolment,
so the third statement must be false.
25. A
From the first statement, we know that bran cereal has more fiber than both oat cereal and corn
cereal. From the second statement, we know that rice cereal has less fiber than both corn and
wheat cereals. Therefore, rice cereal has the least amount of fiber.
26. C
There is not enough information to verify the third statement.
27. C
The first letters are in alphabetical order with a letter skipped in between each segment: C, E, G, I, K.
The second and third letters are repeated; they are also in order with a skipped letter: M, O, Q, S, U.
28. A
This series consists of letters in a reverse alphabetical order.
29. A
The middle letters are static, so concentrate on the first and third letters. The series involves an
alphabetical order with a reversal of the letters. The first letters are in alphabetical order: F, G, H, I ,
J. The second and fourth segments are reversals of the first and third segments. The missing
segment begins with a new letter.
30. B
In this series, the letters progress by 2, and the numbers increase by 2
