SOLUTION
1. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. 64.
PBI has 3 letters  33 = 27
ZEBRA has 5 letters  53 = 125
Similarly, BIRD has 4 letters  43 = 64.
Similarly, 'WALL' is written as 'ZBOM'
2. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. DXNQ.
'ZCJV' is coded as 'YBIU'

Hence, the correct answer is ZBOM.

4. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. 50.

'GKMD' is coded as 'FJLC'

Hence, the correct answer is 50.

Similarly, 'EYOR' will be coded:
5. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. 95.
The pattern of the given series:
22 – 1 = 3
42 – 2 = 14
62 – 3 = 33
3. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. ZBOM. 82 – 4 = 60
'TREE is written as 'WSHF' (10)2 – 5 = 95
Hence, the correct answer is 95.

6. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. MPF.

'BALL' is written as 'EBOM' Given series: EHJ, GJI, ILH, KNG, ?
 E + 2 = G; G + 2 = I, I + 2 = K, K + 2 = M
H + 2 = J, J + 2 = L, L + 2 = N, N + 2 = P
J – 1 = 1, I – 1 = H, H – 1 = G, G – 1 = F
So, the missing term in the series is MPF.
13. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. GJN.
7. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. R.
All follow the same logic except option (a).

14. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. 12 – 225.

So, the 6th letter from the left = R
(a): 12 – 225  (12 + 2)2 = 196  225
8. (d) The correct answer is option (d) i.e. Eight. (b): 8 – 100  (8 + 2)2 = 100
Given series: (c): 9 – 121  (9 + 2)2 = 121
28 4 8528 28488248 28 184 (d): 6 – 64  (6 + 2)2 = 64
The number of 8s which is exactly divisible by

Total runs scored by A + B + C + D + E
9. (c) The correct answer is Option (c) i.e. Billow.  (35 × 5) = 175
Given, B + C = 75,
Then, A + D + E = 175 – 75 = 100
Option (c): Billow - its letter in alphabetical order Let the runs scored by E be X.
Then, runs scored by D = X + 5
10. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. Blank. Runs scored by A = X + 20
X + 20 + X + 5 + X = 100
3X + 25 = 100
Option (a): Blank - its letters are not in alpha- 3X  100 – 25 = 75
betical order. X = 25
Runs scored by B = X + X + 5
11. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. 23.  2X + 5 = 2 × 25 + 5 = 55
62 is related to 79  82 – 2 : 92 – 2  62 : 79 Runs scored by C  (75 – B) = 75 – 55 = 20
98 is related to 119  1002 – 2 : 112 – 2  98 : 119
Similarly, 16. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. 6
14 will be related 23  42 – 2 : 52 – 2  14 : 23 The opposite pairs:

24. (c) The correct answer is option (c) i.e. 8.
21. (a) The correct answer is option (a) i.e. 11 : 1.
Let the two numbers be a and b.
According to the question;
(a + b) : (a – b) = 6 : 5
 5a + 5b = 6a – 6b
 5a – 6a = – 6b – 5a
 – a = –11b
 a/b = 11/1
 a : b = 11 : 1

Argument:
I. On the violation of human rights NHRC can initiate
an inquiry on its own or against a petition filed
by a victim.
Thus, Sonal is sitting opposite to Prabhleen. As the NHRC is responsible for that purpose only
it can inquire and take action. Hence, argument

and its solution. Hence, argument II is also strong.

31. (b) The correct answer is option (b) i.e. Both of the
