A)2 is opposite 6
B) 1 is adjacent to 3
C)3 is adjacent to 5
D) 3 is opposite 5
Answer: C) 3 is adjacent to 5
Explanation:
If 1 is adjacent to 2, 4 and 6 then either 3 or 5 lies opposite to 1. So, the numbers 3 and 5
cannot lie opposite to each other. Hence, 3 is adjacent to 5 (necessarily).
32.
If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3 and 5, then which of the following statements is necessarily true?

A) 4 is adjacent to 6
B) 2 is adjacent to 5
C) 1 is adjacent to 6

If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3 and 5, then either 4 or 6 lies opposite to 1. So, the numbers 4 and 6
cannot lie opposite to each other. Hence, 4 necessarily lies adjacent to 6.
33.
Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (A).
(A)
A) Option 1,2 and 3
B) Option 1,3 and 4
C) Option 2 and 3
D) Option 2,3 and 4
Answer: B) Option 1,3 and 4

Explanation:
When the sheet in fig. (A) is folded, then one of the faces of the cube formed will be of the
form and this face will lie opposite the face bearing a square. Also, one of the blank
faces lies opposite another blank face and the third blank face lies opposite the face bearing
an '=' sign. Clearly, all the three blank faces cannot appear adjacent to each other. So, the
cube shown in fig. (2) which has all the three blank faces adjacent to each other cannot be
formed. Hence, only the cubes shown in figures A, C and D can be formed.
34.
A cube is painted blue on two adjacent surfaces and black on the surfaces opposite to blue

Four usual dice are thrown on the ground. The total of numbers on the top faces of these
four dice is 13 as the top faces showed 4, 3, 1 and 5 respectively. What is the total of the
faces touching the ground?

A)12
B)3
C)15
D)cannot be determined
Answer: C) 15
Explanation:
In a usual dice, the sum of the numbers on any two opposite faces is always 7. Thus, 1 is
opposite 6, 2 is opposite 5 and 3 is opposite 4.
Consequently, when 4, 3, 1 and 5 are the numbers on the top faces, then 3, 4, 6 and 2
respectively are the numbers on the face touching the ground. The total of these numbers =
3 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15.
36.
Observe the dots on a dice (one to six dots) in the following figures. How many dots are
contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots?
A)2
B)3
C)6
D)cannot be determined
Answer: A) 2
Explanation:
We shall assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that the 5 dots appear at the same
position as in fig. (i) i.e. on RHS face (i.e. on face II as per activity 1) and 1 dot appears at
the same position as in fig; (i) i.e. on Front face (i.e. on face I). Then, from the, two figures,
2 dots appear on the top face (i.e. on face V) and 4 dots appear on the Bottom face (i.e. on
face VI).
Since, these two faces are opposite to each other, therefore, two dots are contained on the
face opposite to that containing four dots.
37.
What will be the number at the bottom, if 5 is at the top; the two positions of the dice being
as given below:
A)1
B)2
C)3
D)6
Answer: B) 2
Explanation:
From figures (i) and (ii), it is clear that 4, 1, 3 and 6 he adjacent to 2. Therefore, 5 must lie
opposite 2. Thus, if 5 is at the top, then 2 must be at the bottom.
38.
If 1 is opposite to 5 and 2 is opposite to 3, then

A) 4 is adjacent to 3 and 6
B) 2 is adjacent to 4 and 6
C) 4 is adjacent to 5 and 6
D) 6 is adjacent to 3 and 4
Answer: B) 2 is adjacent to 4 and 6
Explanation:
If 1 is opposite to 5 and 2 is opposite to 3, then 4 definitely lies opposite to 6. Therefore, 2
cannot lie opposite to any of the two numbers - 4 or 6. Hence, 2 necessarily lies adjacent to
both 4 and 6.
39.
Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (A).
(A)
A) Option 1,2 and 3
B) Option 1,2 and 4
C) Option 2 and 3
D) Option 4,2 and 3
Answer: D) Option 2,3 and 4

Explanation:
when a cube is formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (A), then is one of the faces
of the cube and this face lies opposite to a blank face. Also, a face bearing a square lies
opposite to another blank face. The remaining two blank faces lie opposite to each other.
Clearly, in the cube shown in fig. (1), the face consisting of the four symbols is not the
same as that formed (as shown above). Hence, the cube in fig. (1) cannot be formed
40.
A cube has six different symbols drawn over its six faces. The symbols are dot, circle,
triangle, square, cross and arrow. Three different positions of the cube are shown in figures
X, Y, and Z.
Which symbol is opposite the dot?

A)circle
B)triangle
C)arrow
D)cross
Answer: D) Cross
Explanation:
From figures X and Y, we conclude that dot, circle, square and cross lie adjacent to the
triangle. Therefore, the arrow must lie opposite the triangle. From figures X and Z, we
conclude that dot, triangle, arrow and cross lie adjacent to the circle. Therefore, the square
must lie opposite the circle. Thus, the arrow lies opposite the triangle, the square lies
opposite the circle and consequently, the cross lies opposite the dot.
41.
Two positions of a block are shown below: When six is at the bottom, what number will be
at the top?
A)1
B)2
C)4
D)5
Answer: D) 5
Explanation:
From figures (i) and (ii) we conclude that the number 1, 2, 3 and 4 appear adjacent to 6.
Thus, the number 5 will appear opposite 6. Therefore, when six is at the bottom, then 5 will
be at the top.
42.
Three different positions X, Y and Z of a dice are shown in the figures given below. Which
number lies opposite 6?

A)1
B)2
C)4
D)5
Answer: A) 1
Explanation:
From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must
lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6.
Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently
5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, 1 lies opposite 6.

CUBES AND CUBOIDS
Observe the cube shown. It has been divided into ¼ of its original side length.
Hence the total number of smaller or unit cubes formed will be 64.
Question 1: How many unit cubes have only three sides painted?
a) 8
b) 12
c) 24
d) 6
ANSWER – a
SOLUTION:
The cubes with three of their sides painted lie at the vertices of the cubes (The cubes
coloured in red). There are eight such cubes. Hence the answer is eight.
Question 2: How many cubes have only two sides painted?
a) 12
b) 22
c) 24
d) 12
ANSWER – c
SOLUTION:
The cubes with two sides painted lie at the edges (the cubes coloured in blue). Evaluate
such cubes for one tip and multiply the result by 12. (as there are 12 edges in a cube).
From the figure, it is clear that there are two blue cubes at an edge. Hence the total number
of such cubes will be 2*12 = 24.
Question 3: How many cubes have only one side painted?
a) 22
b) 24
c) 12
d) 16
ANSWER – b
SOLUTION:
The cubes with only one side painted always lie at the surface. Evaluate the number of such
faces at each surface and multiply the result by six. As there are six faces in a cube. From
the figure, it is clear that there are four white cubes at the surface. Hence the total number
of such cubes will be 6*4 = 24.
Question 4: How many cubes have no side painted?
a) 6
b) 16
c) 12
d) 8
ANSWER – 8
SOLUTION:
The cubes at the inner core part of the cube will not have any side painted. Evaluating it
every time for different cubes is a tedious task. The simple and easiest approach is by
analysing the pattern.
In 2*2*2 cube there are zero cubes that have no side painted. Whereas in 3*3*3 cube
There is only one cube at the core part which has no sides painted.
Cube type Non painted cube
2*2*2 0

There are 128 cubes with me which are coloured according to two schemes viz.
1. 64 cubes each having two red adjacent faces and one yellow and other blue
on their opposite faces while green on the rest.
2. 64 cubes each having two adjacent blue faces and one red and other green
on their opposite faces, while red on the rest. They are then mixed up.
Question 24: How many cubes have at least two coloured red faces each ?
a) 0
b) 32
c) 64
d) 128
ANSWER – d
SOLUTION –
64 and 64 cubes of both types of cubes are such who have at least two coloured faces red
each.
Therefore, total number of the required cubes is 128.
Question 25: What is the total number of red faces ?

a) 0
b) 64
c) 320
d) 128
ANSWER – c
SOLUTION –
No. of red faces among first 64 cubes = 128
No. of red faces among second 64 cubes = 192
Therefore, total number of red faces = 128 + 192 = 320
Question 26: How many cubes have two adjacent blue faces each?
a) 32
b) 64
c) 0
d) 128
ANSWER – a
SOLUTION –
Second 64 cubes are such each of whose two faces are blue.
Question 27: How many cubes have only one red face each ?
a) 128
b) 32
c) 64
d) None
ANSWER – d
SOLUTION - Out of 128 cubes no cube have only one face is red
Question 28: Which two colours have the same number of faces?
a) Red and Yellow
b) Blue and Green
c) Red and Green
d) Red and Blue
ANSWER - b
SOLUTION -
First 64 cubes are such each of whose two faces are green and second 64 cubes are such
each of whose two faces are blue.
Therefore, green and blue colours have the same number of faces.
Directions (29-33) to Solve :
 A cuboid shaped wooden block has 8cm length, 4 cm breadth and 1 cm

height.
 Two faces measuring 4cm x 1 cm are coloured in black.
 Two faces measuring 8 cm x 1 cm are coloured in yellow.
 Two faces measuring 8 cm x 4 cm are coloured in purple.
 The block is divided into 8 equal cubes of side 1 cm( from 8 cm side), 4
equal cubes of side and 1 cm( from 4 cm side).
Question 29: How many cubes having yellow, purple and black colors on at least
one side of the cube will be formed?
a) 16
b) 12
c) 10
d) 4
ANSWER – d
SOLUTION –
In this type of questions these cubes are related to the corners of the cuboid. Since the
number of corners of the cuboid is 4, the answer is 4.
Question 30: How many small cubes will be formed?
a) 8
b) 12
c) 16
d) 32
ANSWER – d
SOLUTION - In case of cuboids the Number of small cubes is always calculated as = l x b x

h = 8 x 4 x 1 = 32
Question 31: How many cubes will have 4 coloured sides and two non-coloured sides?
a) 8
b) 4
c) 16
d) 10
ANSWER – b
SOLUTION - When all the sides of a cuboid are coloured, all the 4 cubes situated at the
corners of the cuboid will have 4 coloured and 2 non-coloured sides.
Question 32: How many cubes will have Purple colour on two sides and rest of the
four sides having no colour?
a) 12
b) 10
c) 8
d) 4
ANSWER – a
SOLUTION –
There are 20 small cubes attached to the outer walls of the cuboid.
Therefore remaining inner small cubes will be the cubes having two sides with black colour.
So the required number is total cubes minus outside cubes= 32 - 20 = 12.
Question 33: How many cubes will remain if the cubes having black and purple
coloured are removed?
a) 4
b) 8
c) 16
d) 24
ANSWER – d
SOLUTION –
Number of small cubes which are Black and purple is 8 in all. So, the number of remaining
cubes is total cubes minus cubes with black and purple colour - 32 - 8 = 24
34.

B. Either conclusion I or II follows
C. Only conclusion I follows
D. Both conclusions I and II follow
E. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Ans : E
Explanation:
Checking C1: All Manju are honest.
From S1, 'Only Manju is a clerk' we get that 'All clerks are Manju' but 'Clerks can't be
others'.
Therefore, if 'All Manju becomes honest' the condition that 'Clerks can't be others' will be
violated. Thus, C1 doesn't follow.
Checking C2: All clerks being honest is a possibility.
From the explanation above, it's evident that 'Clerks' can't be others. Thus, C2 doesn't
follow either.
Option E is hence the correct answer.

Question.5). You are provided by 100 kg of a fresh fruit. You are told that the fruit
comprises of 68% water content and when the fruit dries, the water content
decreases to just 20%.?
a) 25 kg
b) 50 kg
c) 60 kg
d) 65 kg
Answer – b
Solution –
Before you start running your mind in various directions, do consider the fact that no matter
the fruit is dry or fresh, the fruit content will remain the same.
Now we have been informed that the water contents in a fresh fruit is 68% which means
that the remaining 32% is the actual fruit content.
The dry fruits has 20% water contents and thus the remaining 80% is the fruit content.
Now let us assume that the weight of the fruits when they are dry is x kg.
Fruit content % when fresh = Fruit content % when dry
32/100 * 100 = 80/100 * x
X = 40
Which means that the fruit pulp is 40 Kg.
Thus with the water total amount = 40*100/80 = 50 Kg.

Question.7). Adam sat with his friends in the Chinnaswamy stadium at Madurai to
watch the 100 metres running race organized by the Asian Athletics Association.
Five rounds were run. After every round half the teams were eliminated. Finally,
one team wins the game. How many teams participated in the race?
a) 30
b) 32
c) 41
d) 54
Answer – b
Solution –
Clearly, in 5th (last) round two teams participated out of which 1 team wins the game as
given after every round half the teams were eliminated.
Then for 4th round 2 ´ 2 = 4 teams had qualified.
3rd round = 4´ 2 =8 teams had qualified
2nd round = 8 ´ 2 = 16 teams had qualified
Hence in 1st round = 16 ´ 2 = 32 teams have participated.
So, 32 teams participated in the race.

Question.8).
Comprehension:
J, K, L, M and N collected stamps.

They collected a total of 100. None of them collected less than 10. No two among them
collected the same
number
I. J collected the same number as K and L put together
II. L collected 3 more than the cube of an integer
III. The number collected by J was the square of an integer
IV. The number collected by K was either the square or the cube of an integer
V. The numbers collected by M and N were in the ratio of 4: 3
The no. collected by J was:
a) 27
b) 49
c) 36
d) 64
Answer – c
Solution –
Given J, K, L, M and N collected stamps. They collected a total of 100 stamps
ÞJ + K + L + M + N=100
The no. collected by J was the square of an integer and J collected the same number as
K and L put together.
ÞJ = x2, where x is an integer and J = K + L
The number collected by K was either the square or cube of an integer.
Þ K = z2 or z3, where z is an integer.
L collected 3 more than the cube of an integer.
ÞL = y3 + 3, where y is an integer. Here as given none of them collected less than 10
So value of y can be either 2 or 3 or 4 (because perfect cubes between 10 & 100 are only 8,
27 and 64). Hence L can be 11 or 30 or 67 respectively. (Since y3 +3 = 8 + 3 = 11 or 27 +
3 = 30 or 64 + 3 = 67)
But L can’t be 67 because then J = K + L is not possible and also L = 30 is not possible as
then Condition J = x2 and K = z2 or z3 can’t be fulfilled.
Þ Value of L can only be = (2)3+ 3 = 8 + 3 = 11.

Now J = x2 so possible values of x is 5 or 6 only and J is either 25 or 36 (Note: here perfect
squares between 10 and 100 are 16, 25, 36, 64 and 81; J can’t be 64 or 81 otherwise the
left one’s value will be less than 10 and J can’t be 16 then value of L will be less than 10)
Now if J = 36
As J = K + L
Þ K = J – L then K = 36 – 11 = 25 hence K is a perfect square of 5
Now if J = 25
Þ K = 25 – 11 = 14 which is not a perfect square or cube
Hence J = 36 and K =25 are the possible values.
Question.9).
Comprehension:
collected the same
number
The no. collected by K was:
a) 16
b) 27
c) 25
d) 36
Answer – c
Solution –
ÞJ + K + L + M + N=100

3 = 30 or 64 + 3 = 67)
Now if J = 36
As J = K + L
Now if J = 25
Question.10).
Comprehension:
collected the same
number
The difference of numbers collected by L & M was:
a) 3
b) 2
c) 5
d) 9
Answer – c
Solution –

ÞJ + K + L + M + N=100
3 = 30 or 64 + 3 = 67)
Now if J = 36
As J = K + L
Now if J = 25
Now J + K + L + M + N=100
Þ 36 + 25 + 11 + M + N =100
ÞM + N = 100 – 72 = 28
Now given, the numbers collected by M and N were in the ratio of 4: 3
Let M = 4a and N = 3a, where a is an integer
Þ4a + 3a = 28
Þa = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Thus M = 4 ´ 4 = 16 and N = 3 ´ 4 = 12
Difference between M and L = 16 – 11 = 5.
Question.10).

Hence the person will require 140 × 2 = 280 seconds.
Question.13).
Middle earth is a fictional land inhabited by hobbits, elves, dwarves and men. The
hobbits and elves are peaceful creatures that prefer slow, silent lives and appreciate
nature and art. The dwarves and the men engage in physical games. The game is as
follows. A tournament is one where out of the two teams that play a match, the one
that loses get eliminated. The matches are played in different rounds, where in
every round; half of the teams get eliminated from the tournament. If there are 8
rounds played in knock out tournament, how many matches were played?
a) 256
b) 255
c) 72
d) 125
Answer – b
Solution –
There are 8 rounds played in knock out tournament and one out of the two teams that play
a match, the one that loses get eliminated.
Hence the last round ie. the 8th round has 1 match from which the winner is declared.
The 7th round had 2 matches
The 3rd round had 32 matches
The 2nd round has 64 matches
And the 1st round has 128 matches

Hence in total 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 +1 = 255 matches were played.
Question.14).
A game is played between 2 players and one player is declared as winner. All the
winners from first round are played in second round. All the winners from second
round are played in third round and so on.
If 8 rounds are played to declare only one player as winner, how many players
played in first round?
a) 256
b) 512
c) 64
d) 112
Answer – a
Solution –
In 8th round :- 2 players
In 7th round :- 2 × 2 = 4 players
In 3rd round :- 32 × 2 = 64 players
In 2nd round :- 64 × 2 = 128 players
In 1st round :- 128 × 2 = 256 players
Hence in first round 256 players played game.
Question.15).
Metal strip is of width ‘x’ cm. 2 such metal strips are placed one over the other, then
the combine length of 2 strips is ‘y’. If ‘z’ strips are placed in that manner. What is
the final width of that arrangement?
a) x
b) zx
c) y-x
d) (z-1) x
Answer – a
Solution –
Given width of a metal strip = x
When we place strips in a stack form, the width of the arrangement will remain same
because in this case only height is increased not width.
Hence final width of the arrangement = ‘x’.
Question.16).
Comprehension:
Directions: Six swimmers A, B, C, D, E, F compete in a race. The outcome is as follows.
i. B does not win.
ii. Only two swimmers separate E & D
iii. A is behind D & E
iv. B is ahead of E, with one swimmer intervening
v. F is ahead of D
If the end of the race, swimmer D is disqualified by the Judges then swimmer B
finishes in which place?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5
Answer – B
Solution –
a. B does not win
B ≠ 1st
b. Only two swimmers separate E & D
For this, there are 2 possible arrangements: -
E D

D E
c. A is behind D & E.
Again there are 2 possible arrangements: -
E D

D E
A A
d. B is ahead of E, with one swimmer intervening and B ≠ 1st, so possibility 1 gets
discarded.
In 2nd possibility we get following arrangement.

1 1
D
2 D 2 B
3 B 3

4 4 E
5 E 5 A
6 A 6
e. F is ahead of D, so possibility 2 of new arrangement gets discarded.
Hence we get the final arrangement as follows.
1 F
2 D
3 B
4 C
5 E

6
A
Now if swimmer D is disqualified by the Judges then swimmer B finishes in 2nd position.
Question.17).
Entry ticket to an exhibition range from 1p to 31p. You need to provide exact change
at the counter. You have 31p coins. In how many parts will You divide 31p so that
You will provide the exact change required and carry as less coins as possible?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
Answer – B
Solution –
To find the parts of 31p to have least coins we use formula 2n where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 …
20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31
Hence 5 parts are required.
Question.18).
If there are 30 cans out of them one is poisoned. If a person tastes very little he will
die within 14 hours. So if there are mice to test and 24 hours to test, how many mice
are required to find the poisoned can?
A. 3
B. 2
C. 6
D. 5
Answer – D
Solution –
Clearly 5 mice are required. The explanation is given below:

Let the 5 mice be named A, B, C, D, E.
Now if we follow the below drinking pattern:
Firstly all A to E drink alone from cans numbered 1 to 5.
Now two mice in combinations drink the ‘can’ so the possible combinations of two is
52=5×421=1052=5×421=10
Thus the combination of 2 mice who drunk can 6 to 15 are A&B, B&C, A&E... and so on
Now 3 mice in combinations drink the ‘can’ so the possible combinations of three is
53=5×43321=1053=5×43321=10
Thus the combination of 3 mice who drink cans 15 to 25 are ABC, ABD… and so on.
Now 4 mice in combinations drink the ‘can’ so the possible combinations of two is
54=5×4324321=554=5×4324321=5
Thus the combination of 4 mice who drunk from cans 25 to 30 are ABCD, ABDE, ABCE... and
so on
So total no. of cans = 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 30
Thus depending on the group of mice died, we can find the can no. which is poisoned.
Question.19).
Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X +
Y – Z. Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would
like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok
chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice
(X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu put, the variable to
substitute the next value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.
Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game
would be?
A. 0
B. 27
C. 18
D. 20
Answer – C
Solution –
Alok has to maximize the value of N this means that he has to maximize the value of X and
Y and minimize the value of Z, since N = X + Y - Z
Now, the values Alok can assign range from 0 to 9 but to which variable the value is
assigned is decided by Bhanu only. The best possible combination for X, Y and Z that Alok
can choose so as to achieve the highest possible value of N is 9, 9 and 9 resp. This is
because if he would take any number less than 9, then Bhanu would substitute that smaller
value for X or Y because he has to minimize the value of N.
Thus, N would be 9 + X + Y - Z = 9 + 9 + 9 - 9 = 18.

X. If Bhanu put it at Z then definitely Alok will chose 9 for X
and Y. If Bhanu put it at X then Alok will chose next no as 4
and 0, because for any other no he will get smaller number.
98 4 0 21
If Bhanu put second no. ie 4 at Z then Alok can chose 9 as
third no. and in this case total will be 22.

and Y. If Bhanu put it at X then Alok will chose next no as 4
and 0, because for any other no he will get smaller number.
97 4 0 20
If Bhanu put second no. ie 4 at Z then Alok can chose 9 as

96 4 0 19 and Y. If Bhanu put it at X then Alok will chose next no as 4
and 0, or 5 and 9 because for any other no he will get
96 9 5 19 smaller number. If Bhanu put second no. ie 4 at Z then Alok
can chose 9 as third no. and in this case total will be 20. If
Bhanu put second no. ie 5 at Y then Alok can chose 0 as
Similarly, we can check for other numbers as well but the highest possible value will be 20.
Note: If Alok choses first no as 8 then Bhanu will definitely put that no at Z to get the
minimum possible value of N.
If Alok choses first no as 6 then Bhanu will definitely put that no at X to get the minimum
possible value of N.
So Alok will chose 7 as first number.

Each of the digits from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 is:
a) Represented by a different letter in the figure above.
b) Positioned in the figure above so that each of A + B + C, C + D +E, E + F + G, and G +

H + I is equal to 13.
Which digit does E represent?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 5
D. 8
Answer – A
Solution –
Given conditions are:
A + B + C = 13 …(1)
C + D + E =13 … (2)
E + F + G =13 … (3)
G + H + I =13 … (4)
Adding all equations we get: A + B + 2C + D + 2E + F + 2G + H + I = 52
⇒ C + E + G + (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 52
⇒ C + E + G + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9) = 52 (because given A to I are

numbered from 1 to 9)
⇒ C + E + G + 45 = 52
⇒ C + E + G = 52 – 45
⇒ C + E + G = 7… (5)
Subtracting equation 5 from 2 we get:
D–G=6
⇒ D = 6 + G so for values of G = 1 or 2 or 3; D = 7 or 8 or 9
Subtracting (5) from (3) we get
F–C=6
⇒ F = C + 6 so for values of C = 1 or 2 or 3; F = 7 or 8 or 9
Case I Case II Case III
If C, G are 1 and 2 If C, G are 2 and 3 If C, G are 1 and 3
Then on putting the values in Then on putting the values in

Then on putting the values in equation 5 we get equation 5 we get
equation 5 we get
E=2 E=3
E=4
Which is not possible because Which is not possible because
This is true one variable has one value one variable has one value
from 1 to 9 from 1 to 9
Thus, clearly E is 4.
Question.23).
One of Mr. Horton, his wife, their son, and Mr. Horton's mother is a doctor and
another is a lawyer.
a)If the doctor is younger than the lawyer, then the doctor and the lawyer are not
blood relatives.
b)If the doctor is a woman, then the doctor and the lawyer are blood relatives.
c)If the lawyer is a man, then the doctor is a man.
Whose occupation you know?
A. Mr. Horton
B. Mr. Horton’s Wife
C. Mr. Horton’s Mother
D. None
Answer – A
Solution –
Four members are given:
Mr. Horton, Mr. Horton’s wife, Mr. Horton’s son, Mr. Horton’s Mother
Given condition a) If the doctor is younger than the lawyer, then the doctor and the lawyer
are not blood relatives.
So to fulfill this condition the doctor must be Mr. Horton’s wife and lawyer must be Mr.
Horton because Husband-wife are not blood relatives but it contradicts condition b) i.e. If
the doctor is a woman, then the doctor and the lawyer are blood relatives.
Thus it is clear that doctor is not younger than lawyer
Given condition c) If the lawyer is a man, then the doctor is a man.
⇒ Either Mr. Horton or his son is either doctor or lawyer.
And from condition a) we conclude that Mr. Horton is doctor and his son is a lawyer because
otherwise condition a) is not possible.
Question.24).
In the following figure:
A D
B G E
C F
Each of the seven digits from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 is:
a) Represented by a different letter in the figure above.
b) Positioned in the figure above so that A*B*C,B*G*E, and D*E*F are equal.
Which digit does G represent?
A. 2
B. 8
C. 9
D. 4
Answer – A
Solution –
Given each letter represents different number and A × B × C = B × G × E = D × E × F
Thus, the least possible product which can be possible is 8 × 9 = 72 so each digit must be a
factor of 72.
So the digit can’t be 0, 5 and 7 because these are not multiple of 72 also if any digit is 0, 5,
7 then all products must be multiple of 0 or 5 or 7 which is not possible because then digit
must be repeated in all three products.
Thus the possible digits must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9
Now, Factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 72
By hit and trial we get that out of it possible pairs are: 1 × 8 × 9; 2 × 4 × 9; 3 × 4 × 6
As 4 and 9 are repeated thus and in A × B × C = B × G × E = D × E × F, B and E are
repeated thus either B or E is 4 or 9.
Thus B × G × E must be 2 × 4 × 9 hence on comparing, Clearly G = 2.

Question.28).
Each man dances with 3 women, each women dances with 3 men. Among each
pair of men they have exactly two women in common. Find the no. of men and
women.?
A. 3,6
B. 5,3
C. 5,4
D. 4,4
Answer – D
Solution –
Let’s assume the numbers of Men & Women to be:

Men -- M1, M2... etc
Women -- W1, W2.. etc
the pair can we arranged this way --
M1-W1; M1-W2; M1-W3 -- First Pair
Now, we have a condition -- each men has exactly 2 women in common.

So, we need 1 extra woman for next pair.
M2-W1; M2-W2; M2-W4 - Second Pair.
LIKEWISE, WE CAN ARRANGE MEN FOR W4 AS WELL.
M3-W1; M3-W3; M3-W4 - Third Pair.
We need one more man to complete the condition 'each women dances with 3 men'
Last Pair; -- M4-W2; M4-W3; M4-W4
TOTAL:
4 Men -- M1 M2 M3 M4
4 Women -- W1 W2 W3 W4
Question.29).
A bird keeper has got P pigeon, M mynas and S sparrows. The keeper goes for lunch
leaving his assistant to watch the birds. Suppose P = 10, M = 5, S = 8. When the bird
keeper comes back, before he has the chance to see the birds, the assistant informs
him 2 things.
a.) that x birds have escaped. The bird keeper without looking at the birds, exclaims
oh no! all my sparrows are gone. How many birds flew away?
b.) that x birds have escaped. The bird keeper without looking at the birds, realized
that at least 2 sparrows have escaped.
What is minimum no of birds that have escaped as per each statement?
A. 8,6
B. 0,0
C. 23,23
D. 23,17
Answer – D
Solution –
1. The basic point with the first part is that unless all of the birds are gone, the keeper can
not know for sure that all of the sparrows are gone. Hence, the answer for the first question
is 23 i.e. (10 + 5 + 8).
2. Likewise for the second, you can't be sure if there are 2 sparrows missing when unless
there are 17 birds missing. This is because for 16 birds missing, there could have been 10
parrots, 5 mynas and 1 sparrow missing. It is only when there are 17 birds missing can we
tell that at least 2 sparrows are missing for sure. Hence, for the second case, answer is 17
(10 p + 5 m + 2 s).
Question.30).
Comprehension:
Directions: There are N coins on a table. There are two players A & B. You can take
1 or 2 coins at a time. The person who takes the last coin is the loser. A always
starts first. Proper play implies that both the players take the same number of
coins (1 or 2) in alternate turns.
B can win by proper play if N is equal to
A. 25
B. 36
C. 32
D. None
Answer – A
Solution –
As we know always A takes the first.
If A=1, B=1 in every chance: A takes the last and B wins for every odd number.
If A=2, B=2 in every play then, if N = 25 A takes the last and loss.
If A=2, B=2 in every play then, if N = 43 B takes the last and A wins.
Hence B can win by proper play if N is equal to 25.
Question.31).
Tom asked Kim “Do you like the stamps?” She said “Yes, and Rob too likes them”.
Kim again said that “Rob would have got 2 more than he got originally had I kept
2 more than what he got earlier.” Tom asked “how many did you give Rob?” She
replied “Half of what I got later”. Tell how many stamps each Rob and Kim had
originally?
A. 10,12
B. 12,8
C. 8.12
D. None
Answer – C
Solution –
Let stamps originally with Kim be ‘x’ and Rob be ‘y’.

Let’s assume she gave him ‘a’ stamps
⇒ Stamps with Kim later on = x – a
Also, stamps with Rob = y + a
She gave him ‘a’ stamps which is equal to half what she got later
⇒ a = (x – a)/2
⇒ 2a = x – a
⇒ 3a = x -------(1)
Rob would have got 2 more than he got originally had I kept 2 more than what he got
earlier
⇒ Kim’s possible stamp = y + 2
Rob’s possible stamp = y + 2
⇒ Total stamps = x + y
⇒y+2+y+2=x+y
⇒ y + 4 = x ------(2)
⇒ x has to be greater than y by 4
so either (12,8) or (8,12) is our answer
If they are left with 12,8 with Rob, kim
then condition 2 isn’t satisfied
but condition 2 is satisfied if x = 12 & y = 8
So, (8,12) for Rob, kim is the answer.
Question.32).

D. None
Answer – C
Solution –
Although there are 3 × 3 = 9 links in the pieces of chain. But blacksmith only needs to open
2 links to connect the whole chain.
Question.33).
A girl took part in a cycling game with many others in a circular closed circuit.
After pedaling for several minutes, she found that 1/3th of the cyclists ahead of
her and 3/5th of the cyclists behind her together formed the total no. of
participants. How many were participating in the race?
A. 11
B. 12
C. 13
D. 15
Answer – D
Solution –
Say n participants are cycling.
Except Girl, there are n-1 participants
Therefore according to Girl following linear equation can be framed
→ (n-1)/3 + 3/5(n-1) + 1 = n
⇒ n=15
So in total 15 participants were participating in the race.
Question.34).
Meera was playing with her brother using 55 blocks. She gets bored playing and
starts arranging the blocks such that the no. of blocks in each row is one less than
that in the lower row. Find how many were there in the upper most row?
A. 3
B. 2
C. 1
D. 10
Answer – C
Solution –
In top row there are ‘x’ blocksIn 2nd top row there are ‘x – 1’ blocksIt’s like Arithmetic
Progressionx, x + 1, x + 2, x+3, ----- x + (n-1) if there are ‘n’ rows.Here sum of all terms
= 55
Sn = n2×[2a+(n−−1)d]n2×[2a+(n−−1)d]
⇒ Sn =n2×[2x+(n−−1)1]=n2×[2x+(n−−1)1]
⇒ 55 × 2 = 2 x n + n2 – n
⇒ n2 –n (1 – 2x) – 110=0
Hence, If x = 3 then n=(−5)±25+440√2n=(−5)±25+4402 = Irrational number

If x = 2 then n = n=(−3)±9+440√2n=(−3)±9+4402 = Irrational number
If x = 1 then n = n=(−1)±1+440√2n=(−1)±1+4402 =n=(−1)±441√2=n=(−1)±4412=
(21 - 1)/2 = 10 [Positive Rational number]
If x = 10 then n=(−21)±441+440√2n=(−21)±441+4402 = Irrational Number
∵ ‘n’ i.e. number of rows can never be an irrational number∴ x = 1 and n = 10 Hence,
there is one block in upper most row.
Question.35).
Rahul took part in a cycling game with many others in a circular closed circuit.
After pedaling for several minutes, he found that 1/5th of the cyclists ahead of
him and 5/6th of the cyclists behind him together formed the total no. of
participants. How many were participating in the race?
A. 29
B. 30
C. 31
D. 32
Answer – C
Solution –
Say n participants are cycling.
Except Rahul, there are n-1 participants
Therefore according to Rahul following linear equation can be framed →
1/5(n-1) + 5/6(n-1) = n
⇒ n=31
So, in total 31 participants were participating in the race.
Question.36).
Three customers want haircut and a shave. In a saloon, two barbers operate at
same speed. They take quarter of an hour for the haircut and 5 mins for the shave.
How quickly can they finish the haircut and shave these three customers?
A. 30 min
B. 40 min
C. 45 min
D. 50 min
Answer – A
Solution –
Suppose the time is 12:00.

For customer1, Barber1 will start haircut. For customer2 and customer3, Barber2 will do
shaving.
At 12.10, Barber will complete shaving to Customers 2 & 3. Now Barber2 starts haircut to
Customer2
After 15 min i.e., at 12.15, the customer1 haircut will be completed and Barber1 starts
haircut to Customer3.
Now at 12.25, Barber2 completes the haircut form Customer2 and will start shaving for
Customer1
At 12.30, Barber1 completes the haircut for Customer3 and Barber2 completes shaving for
Customer1.
Therefore, the total time taken for the two barbers to complete haircuts and shavings
quickly for three customers is 30 minutes.
Barber 1:
Jobs Time taken
Customer 1 (haircut) 15 min
Barber 2:
Jobs Time taken
Customer 2 (shave) 5 min
Total time taken is 30 minutes.
Question.37).
A shopkeeper likes to arrange and rearrange his collection of stamps. He arranges

them sometimes in pair, sometimes in bundle of three, sometimes in bundle of
fours, occasionally in bundle of fives and sixes. Every time he’s left with one stamp
in hand after arrangement in bundles. But if he arranges in the bundle of seven,
he’s not left with any stamp. What is the minimum number of stamps does a
shopkeeper have?
A. 211
B. 143
C. 301
D. 302
Answer – C
Solution –
L.C.M of (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 60
So according to the first condition, total number of stamps with shopkeeper = 60p + 1
Because in each case he is left with one stamp.

Now according to the second condition total number of stamps with shopkeeper = 7q
Number of stamps are same hence, 60p + 1 = 7q
Only when p = 5, then q = 43. Since for p = 1, 2, 3 and 4, q is fractional number.
Hence, minimum number of stamps = 60 × 5 + 1 = 301.
Question.38).
Nitin was counting down from 32. Summit was counting upwards the numbers
starting from 1 and he was calling out only the odd numbers. What common
number will they call out at the same time if they were calling at the same speed?
A. 19
B. 21
C. 22
D. They will not call out the same number
Answer – D
Solution –
Nitin’s Counting: 32, 31, 30, 29, 28 27…

Summit’s Counting: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, ……
Let’s summarize every 5th of their counting till their counting appears somewhat closer:
Term Nitin Summit
5th 28 9
19 ⇒
10th 23 Somewhat
closer
11th 22 21
12th 21 23
15th 18 29
We can see, their counting starts moving in opposite direction after 11th term & they didn’t
get any closer anywhere but 11th term where their values differed by 1 number so they
wouldn’t call the same number any time.

Veer Das ranks 7th from the top and 28th from the bottom in a class. How many
students are there in the class?
A 32
B 33
C 34
D 35
E None of these
Correct Option: C
As seen in the figure, Veer Das's position is 7th from the top and 28th from the bottom.

Therefore, total number of students = 6 + Veer Das + 27 = 34
2.
During assembly the students are standing in a line. Salman Khan is 21 st in order
from both the ends. How many boys are there in the class?
A 31
B 41
CC 40
D 30
Correct Option: B
As seen in the figure, Salman Khan's position is 21st from the both end.

Therefore, total number of students = 20 + Salman Khan + 20 = 41
3.
Priyanka Chopara ranks 17th in a class of 49 students. What is her ranks from the
last?
A 31
B 32
C 33
D 37
Correct Option: C
As seen in the figure that Priyanka ranks 17th out of 49 students. It means there are 16
students ahead of her.

Therefore, her rank from the last = 49 - 16 = 33
4.
In a class of 35 students, Ziya is placed 7 th from the bottom where as Sofia is

placed 9th from the top. Shahruk is placed in between the two. What is Ziya’s
position from Shahruk?
A 10
B 15
C 19
D 21
Correct Option: A
As seen in the figure, Shahruk is between Sofia and Ziya.
It's given that Ziya is 7th from the bottom and Sofia is 9th from the top.
Therefore, number of persons between Sofia and Ziya = 35 - (9 + 7) = 19

Sharuk's position between Sofia and Ziya 19 + 1
= 10.
= 2
Hence, Shahruk is at the middle i.e. at 10 th position from both. Ziya, therefore, is at the
10th position from Shahruk.
5.
Hritik is 7th ranks ahead of Aamir Khan in a class of 39. If Aamir Khan’s rank is
17th from the last, what is Hritik’s rank from the start?
A 10
B 12
C 15
D 16
Correct Option: D
As seen in the figure, Aamir Khan’s rank is 17th from the bottom.
Hritik is 7th ranks ahead of Aamir Khan’s ranks = 17 + 7 = 24.

Hritik Ranks from the bottom = 24th

So, Hritik's rank from the top = (Total number of students - Hritik's rank from the bottom)
+1
⇒ 39 - 24 + 1
⇒ 16th
Questions from 6-10

Eight players P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W participated in the badminton tournament. In the
first round of the tournament these eight players were divided into two groups of four
players each. In a group each player had to play twice against each of the other players.
Every match had a decisive result, i.e. no match ended in a tie. The player with the highest
and second highest number of wins in both the groups reached the semifinal. Q, U, W, V
were the four players who qualifed for the semifinal.]

It is also known that in first round:
 Each player of each group had a different number of wins.

 R lost all of his matches against all the other players except S, who atleast one
match against each of the other players except one.
 V won both the matches against U.
 P and W won the same number of matches.
6.Four of the following five are alike in the certain way and so form a group. Which
is the one that does not belong to the group?
A V
B U
C P
D T
E W
Correct Option: E
Following the final solution to the puzzle set we can say that W is the one that does not
belong to the group.
Hence the correct answer is option (E.)

Group A V U P T
Number of
5 4 3 0
matches won
Group B Q W S R
Number of
6 3 2 1
matches won
Common Explanation:
References:
V won both the matches against U.
Inference:
Studying the information carefully we can say that V and U were in same group let’s says
that Group A. And we also know that Q, U, W, V were the four players who qualifed for the
semifinal so we can also say that Q and W were in second group let’s say that Group B.

Group A V/U U/V
Number of

matches won
Group B Q/W W/Q
Number of

References:
Each player of each group had a different number of wins.

P and W won the same number of matches.
R lost all of his matches against all the other players except S, who atleast one match
against each of the other players except one.
Inference:
Using the given information we can say that R and S belongs to Group B and P and T
belongs to Group A its because P and w can’t be in the same group and R and S must go
together. As it is given that R won only against S so he has only one point.

Group A V/U U/V P/T T/P
Number of

matches won
Group B Q/W W/Q S R
Number of
1
matches won

Now, In a group each player had to play twice against each of the other players. So the
total number of matches that can be played in each group are equal to 12. And the winning
combinations given that Each player of group had a different number of wins can only be
A - ( 6 4 2 0 )
B- ( 6 3 2 1 )
C- ( 5 4 2 1 )
D- ( 5 4 3 0 )
In all of the combinations only B and C can fit in Group B. But we know that W and P have
same number of wins so only combination B and D fits into our requirements.

Group A V/U U/V P T
Number of
5 4 3 0
matches won
Group B Q W S R
Number of
6 3 2 1
matches won

But U cannot have 5 wins in Group A because he lost both of his matches to V.
Therefore the final scorecard is as follows

Group A V U P T
Number of
5 4 3 0
matches won
Group B Q W S R
Number of
6 3 2 1
matches won
7.

In a row where all are facing north, Priya is 15 th from the left end and Garima is
19th from the right end. They interchange their positions, and Ram who sits 24th
from the left end sits at the 5th place to the left of Priya's new position. How many
persons were there in the row?
A 36
B 42
C 47
D 56
E None of these
Correct Option: C
Using the given information we can create a following figure:
Here the total number of persons in the queue = (*29 + 19 - 1)
= 47
Note: 29 is derived by adding Ram's position from left end of the row (24) and his position
with respect to Priya (5).

During a prize distribution ceremony, Vikram was ninth from the left while Janhvi
was eighth from the right in the front row. If Hariom was thirteenth from the left
and was exactly in the middle of Vikram and Janhvi in the same row then what
was the total number of people in the front row?
A 18
B 19
C 21
D 24
E None of these
Correct Option: D
Here, we know that Vikram was ninth from the left while Hariom was thirteenth from the
left. So, we can say that there were 3 persons between Vikram and Hariom.
And, we also know that Hariom was exactly in the middle of Vikram and Janhvi so the
number of persons between Hariom and Janhvi will also be 3.
At this point, using the given information we can create a following figure:
Now, total number of people in the queue = (8 + Vikram + 3 + Hariom + 3 + Janhvi + 7)
= (8 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 7) = 24
Thus, the total number of people in the queue was 24.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

position of Ayesha from right end ?
A 10th
B 12th
C 15th
D 8th
E Can't be determined
Correct Option: B
From the given image it is clear that Ayesha is 12th from the right end.
Position of Ayesha from right end = 7 + 1(Anisha) + 1 + 1(Ariva) +1 + 1 = 12
Hence option B is the correct answer.

persons + Roop + 11 persons

Total number of persons in the row = 69 persons.

Common Explanation:

Reference:

Number of persons on the right of Roop was same as the number of persons on the left of
Gaur.
Gaur sits on the left of Roop.
Deep sits exactly in the middle of Roop and Gaur

Inference:

Let’s assume that number of persons on the right of Roop and on the on the left of Gaur
was X, and the number of persons between Deep and Roop, and Gaur and Deep are Y.
Then,

Order of persons in the row = X persons + Gaur + Y persons + Deep + Y
persons + Roop + X persons

Reference:

Inference:

After using the above references, we have:

Position of Roop from left end = 58th

And, Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of persons on the
right of Roop i.e. 2X = Y.

Here, Number Number of persons between Deep and Roop were twice the number of
persons on the right of Roop, who was 58th from the left end.

of persons to the left of Roop in the row = X persons + Gaur + Y persons + Deep + Y
persons.

Now, 57 = X persons + 1 + 2X persons + 1 + 2X persons

X = 11 persons

Here the common faces with 4 dots are in same positions.

Hence 2 will be opposite to 5.

The sum of the numbers of dots on the opposite face is 7.

Even numbered dice are: (II), (IV) and (VI)

No. of dots on the top face of (II) dice = 6

No. of dots on the top face of (IV) dice = 6

and No. of dots on the top face of (VI) dice = 6

Therefore Required total = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18

Odd numbered dice are : (II), (III) and (V)

Therefore, Total of these numbers = 5 + 1 + 5 = 11

Therefore, Total of these numbers = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5
