Figure Based
Direction for questions 1-4: Based on the figure given below, the relationship of the terms of the
right of:: is same as that on the left. Find the missing terms.

Q1.
GHF: CDB:: EFD:?
1. ABJ
2. IJH
3. CBD
4. AJB
Solution:
In the first pair, the line CD in the second term extends to point G of the first term. Similarly, the line
either IH or AB extends to point E of the first term in the second pair. Hence option 1
is the answer.

Q2.

HNP: PDA: : DLP : ?

1. CDP
2. PJG
3. PHE
4. PME

Solution:
All set of vertices are in relation to P, the central point in the diagram. In the 1st pair: The second term
is a triangle formed with the lines passing through P and the points adjacent to N and H on either side
of triangle PNH, that is, FA and ID. Hence the 2nd term in the 1st term is PDA. Similarly, point
adjacent to D is M (on MJ), and that to L is B(on BG), the required triangle will be PGJ or PJG.
Q3.

Input output
A number arrangement device when given an input line of numbers rearranges them following a
particular pattern in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement (All the
numbers are two-digit numbers).
Input: 84 28 36 64 42 74
step I: 28 84 36 64 42 74
step II: 28 36 84 64 42 74
step III: 28 36 42 84 64 74
step IV: 28 36 42 64 84 74
step V: 28 36 42 64 74 84
step VI: 14 18 21 32 37 42
and Step VI is the last step of the above input. As per the pattern followed in the above steps,
find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.

Q7
Input: 56 68 94 86 48 76
What is the sum of the first and last numbers of the final step of the arrangement?
A. 63
B. 65
C. 71
D. 56
Solution:
The logic applied for the input:
84 28 36 64 42 74
Step I - Step V: All the numbers are arranged in ascending order from the left end, one in each step.

 84 28 36 64 42 74 - here 28 is the smallest number and therefore, it is placed at the left end in
step l. 84 will move towards the right by one place  Step I: 28 84 36 64 42 74
 Similarly, 36 will be placed after 28 in step II and 84 will move towards the right again.
 step II: 28 36 84 64 42 74.
 This process is continued until all the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Step VI: All numbers are divided by 2.
28÷2 =14, 36÷2=18 and so on
Similarly, applying the same logic in the given question input:
Input: 56 68 94 86 48 76 and the final output is 24 28 34 38 43 47 Hence, the answer is option C.

Sequence and Series
Q8
In the following question, one term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term
10, 26, 74, 218, 654, 1946, 5834
A. 654
B. 1946
C. 26
D. 218
Solution:
Series follow the following pattern
10 × 3 – 4 = 26
26 × 3 – 4 = 74
74 × 3 – 4 = 218
218 × 3 – 74 = 650
Hence according to this pattern there should be 650 instead of 654 therefore option A is correct
answer.

Q9
Few men were sitting in a row facing north in a row. Sunil is 16th to the left of Ram, who is 18th from
the right. Jack is 11th from left and is also 4th to the right of Sunil. How many men were sitting in a
row.
A. 36
B. 38
C. 42
D. 40
Solution:
From the first sentence we can say that there are 15 people between Ram and Sunil and
Ram has 17 people to his right.

Jack is 4th to right of Sunil, so he must have 3 people between him and Sunil. Since there are 15
people between Sunil and Ram, we can say that there will be 15-4 = 11 people between Jack and
Ram.
Jack is 11th from left and he also has Sunil to his left. Jack will have 10 people to his left and Sunil is
4th to his left, this must mean that Sunil will have 10 - 4 = 6 people to his left.

Hence, we can say that there is 6+ 1 +3+1 +11 +1 + 17 = 40 people in the row.

Q11.
A girl leaves her home and walks 30 mt towards north. She turns clockwise by 450 and walks 30
meters. Then she turns anti-clockwise by 450 and walks 30 meters, then she turns by 900 towards her
left and walks 60 meters. There she turns towards her home. In which direction is she walking?
1. South
2. South-East
3. North-East
4. North-West
Solution:

Let us assume H to be home. She walks 30 meters towards north (A) H will be South of A Now from
A she walks towards B which is north east of A. Hence H will be towards South - west of B Now she
will walk towards D which to her left/ east, she walks 60 meters so she will be to the left of H Hence
now H will be towards south east of D.

Assertion and Reason
Q12.
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Celebrity endorsements add to the brand value and sale of the products.
Reason R: Most celebrities are rich enough to afford the best technology and products in any given
category.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given
below:
1. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct but R is incorrect
4. A is incorrect but R is correct.
Solution:
Assertion A
Celebrity endorsement is a form of advertising campaign or marketing strategy which uses celebrity's
fame or social status to promote a product, brand, or service, or to raise awareness about an issue.
Marketers use celebrity endorsers in hopes that the positive image of the celebrity endorser will be
passed on to the product's or brand's image.
Thus, this is a correct Assertion.
Reason R
Most celebrities are highly famous and rich people. This fame and money enable them to enjoy
various luxuries of life. Thus, this is a correct statement.
Although R is a correct statement, it cannot be the correct reason for the given assertion as brands ask
celebrities to endorse their products because of the influence that celebrities have over the people and
not because of their lifestyle.

Statement and Argument
Q13.
The following question consists of a statement and arguments I and II. Choose the best option.
Statement: Should smoking be prohibited?
Argument I: Yes, it is wrong to smoke away millions of money.
Argument II: No, it will throw thousands of workers in the tobacco industry out of employment.

1. Only argument I is strong

2. Only argument II is strong
3. Neither argument I nor argument II is strong
4. Both arguments I and II are strong.
Solution:
Argument I: Smoking should be prohibited primarily because of the hazardous effects of it toward our
health and environment. Although prohibiting smoking will save people a lot of money but this cannot
be the basis for banning smoking, hence this argument will be considered as a weak argument.

Argument II: Smoking is a billion-dollar industry and lot of people are employed in this industry.
Surely, banning smoking will have an adverse effect on all those people who are employed in the
industry, hence this can be considered as a strong argument.
Hence, Option 2 is the right answer.
