Sample Questions from this Test

Question 1:

In the English language, if 1 is coded as A, 2 as B, and 3 as C, how can FLOWER be written in the same code?
A.6 12 15 23 5 18
B.6 12 18 23 5 15
C.6 21 15 23 5 18
D.6 18 12 3 5 15

Just as 1 corresponds to A, 2 to B, and 3 to C, following the same alphabetical order: F = 6, L = 12, O = 15, W = 23, E = 5, R = 18. Thus, FLOWER is written as 6 12 15 23 5 18.

Question 2:

If animals that can walk are called swimmers, animals that can crawl are called flying, those that live in water are called snakes, and those that can fly in the sky are called hunters, then what can a lizard be called?
A.Swimmer
B.Snake
C.Hunter
D.Flying

Animals that can crawl are referred to as 'flying'. Since a lizard is an animal that crawls, it can be called 'flying'.

Question 3:

Which number is missing in the following series? 1, 1, 4, 8, 9, ? 16, 64
A.19
B.17
C.27
D.15

The order of the given number series is as follows: 1², 1³, 2², 2³, 3², 3³, 4², 4³. Therefore: ? = 3³ = 27.

Question 4:

Which number is wrong in the following series? 1, 3, 8, 19, 42, 88, 184
A.8
B.42
C.184
D.88

The order of the given number series is as follows: 1×2+1=3; 3×2+2=8; 8×2+3=19; 19×2+4=42; 42×2+5=89; 89×2+6=184. Therefore, there should be 89 in place of 88.

Question 5:

Which term is missing in the following series? Q, N, K, ?, E
A.M
B.H
C.G
D.F

The sequence of the given letter series is as follows: Q (-3) → N (-3) → K (-3) → H (-3) → E. Therefore: ? = H.

Question 6:

Which term is missing in the following series? FLP, INS, LPV, ?
A.MRY
B.ORZ
C.OSY
D.ORY

The order of the given letter series is: First letter moves (+3): F → I → L → O; Second letter moves (+2): L → N → P → R; Third letter moves (+3): P → S → V → Y. Therefore: ? = ORY.

Question 7:

The value of each side of three triangles is given. The three sides of the triangle and the middle value are connected by some arithmetic relationship: The missing value in the middle of the second triangle is (Image-based question)
A.14
B.27
C.22
D.24

Just as 5×4+6=26 (first triangle) and 8×3+5=29 (third triangle), similarly for the second triangle: 6×3+4=22. Therefore: ? = 22.

Question 8:

A matrix of some numbers is given below. These numbers follow a specific rule either row-wise or column-wise. The missing number is: (Image-based question)
A.4
B.3
C.6
D.8

Just as 6×4÷3=8 and 18×3÷2=27 (following column logic), similarly 15×?÷5=9. Solving for ? gives 3.

Question 9:

If KUMAR is coded as LVNBS, then how can EMOTIONAL be written with the same code?
A.FNQUJQBMP
B.FNPUJPOBM
C.GNPUNPOBM
D.GNQUJQOBM

Just as each letter in KUMAR is shifted by +1 to get LVNBS (K+1=L, U+1=V, M+1=N, A+1=B, R+1=S), shifting each letter in EMOTIONAL by +1 results in FNPUJPOBM.

Question 10:

If RAT = 42 and CAT = 57, then LATE is equal to
A.60
B.70
C.64
D.74

The logic uses the sum of the positions of the opposite letters in the alphabet. For RAT: R's opposite is I (9), A's opposite is Z (26), T's opposite is G (7). Sum: 9+26+7=42. For CAT: C's opposite is X (24), A's is Z (26), T's is G (7). Sum: 24+26+7=57. Similarly for LATE: L's opposite is O (15), A's is Z (26), T's is G (7), E's is V (22). Sum: 15+26+7+22=70.
