11. The day before yesterday is three days after Saturday. What day is it today?
A. Tuesday B. Thursday
C. Wednesday D. Friday
Ans. B
Sol. => The day before yesterday = Three days after Saturday

=> Three days after Saturday is = Tuesday.

Sol. half past 5 in the evening means its 5:30
If the time is H:M, where H goes from 0 to 11 and M goes from 0 to 59, the formula is Angle =
(11/2)M – 30H.
Angle = (11/2)M – 30H= (11/2)30 – 30*5=165-150=15 degree
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
13. Direction: Study the following data carefully and answer the questions accordingly.

In a certain code language,

‘exams give stress reaction’ is written as ‘nr tz ax up’.

‘stress brings sadness in life give’ is written as ‘sr dr bs up bd tz’.
‘life reaction in give problem’ is written as ‘mp up bd nr dr’.

What will be the possible code for ‘life’?

A. bd B. dr
C. Either bd or dr D. tz
E. up
Ans. C
Sol. ‘exams give stress reaction’ is written as ‘nr tz ax up’.

‘stress brings sadness in life give’ is written as ‘sr dr bs up bd tz’.

‘life reaction in give problem’ is written as ‘mp up bd nr dr’.

reaction= nr

stress = tz

problem = mp
 www.gradeup.co

give = up

exams = ax

in/life = bd/dr

brings/sadness= sr/bs

Therefore, option C is the right answer.

14. If ‘stress brings problem reaction’ is coded as ‘mp sr nr tz’ then what will be the code for ‘sadness’?
A. ax B. bs
C. bd D. dr
E. None of these
Ans. B
Sol. ‘exams give stress reaction’ is written as ‘nr tz ax up’.

‘stress brings sadness in life give’ is written as ‘sr dr bs up bd tz’.

‘life reaction in give problem’ is written as ‘mp up bd nr dr’.

reaction= nr

stress = tz

problem = mp

give = up

exams = ax

in/life = bd/dr

brings/sadness= sr/bs

Therefore, option B is the right answer.

15. What will be the possible code for ‘exams create stress problem’?
A. ax em up mp B. ax tz up nr
 www.gradeup.co

C. sr bs em tz D. ax mp tz em
E. bd ax tz mp
Ans. D
Sol. ‘exams give stress reaction’ is written as ‘nr tz ax up’.

‘stress brings sadness in life give’ is written as ‘sr dr bs up bd tz’.

‘life reaction in give problem’ is written as ‘mp up bd nr dr’.

reaction= nr

stress = tz

problem = mp

give = up

exams = ax

in/life = bd/dr

brings/sadness= sr/bs

Therefore, option D is the right answer.

16. If it is possible to make only one meaningful word with the first, third, fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth letters of the

and if no such word can be formed, give ‘Z’ as the answer.
A. Z B. X
C. Y D. N
E. D
Ans. D
Sol. 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th and 10th letters of the word = P, A, E, N, D

Meaningful word = PONDER

The small squares are ABGF, BCHG, CDIH, DEJI, FGLK, GHML, HINM, IJON, KLQP, LMRQ, MNSR, NOTS,
PQVU, QRWV, RSXW and STYX i.e. 16 in number.

The squares composed of four components are ACMK, BDNL, CEOM, FHRP, GISQ, HJTR, KMWU, LNXV and
MOYW i.e. 9 in number.

The squares composed of nine components each are ADSP, BETQ, FIXU and GJYV i.e. 4 in number.
 www.gradeup.co

There is one square AUYE composed of sixteen small squares.

There are 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 squares in the given figure.

Alternate solution:
Number of square for (4x4) grid = (4x4) + (3x3) + (2x2) + (1x1) = 30
Hence, option D is the right answer.
