Reason : 37 means which class, 583 means caste and class so we can conclude that
common number is
(c) and common word is class so 3 means class. Therefore caste means 5 or 8.
12. Sol:(c)Reason : As per given codes D is for 7, E is for 3, L is for 5, H is for 4, I is for 1, C is for 8,
A is for 2, L is for 5, U is for 9, T is for 6
Therefore CALICUT is for 8251896
13. Sol:(d)Rule : Code is obtained by writing the alphabets in reverse order as they are written in
given words.
14. Sol:(a)Rule : first alphabets of pairs are continuous alphabets from left to right while second
alphabets of pairs are also continuous alphabets from right to left.
15. Sol:(c)Reason: Gaps in alphabets from left to write are in the order 1, 2, 3, 4. Therefore
fourth letter from G is K.
16. Sol:(e)Reason: Alphabets are at a gap of one alphabet between them in reverse order.
17. Sol:(a)Reason: Add + 4, + 4, + 6, + 6 to get next alphabets to their previous positions.
18. Sol:(e)Rule : Central numbers are the sums of square roots of numbers outside of circles
separately.
19.Sol:(b)Rule : Central numbers are the cube roots of sums of all four numbers outside the
circles.
20. Sol:(a)Rule: Central numbers are square root of sums of all four numbers outside the circles.

Rule: Central numbers are obtained by dividing the product of remaining four numbers
by ten.
22. Sol:(e)Rule: Central numbers are half of sum of squares of all other four remaining numbers
present.
23. Sol:(d)
Rule: d = a b
e = b cf = a c
24. Sol:(c)
Rule: d = a 8
e = b 8
f = c 8
25. Sol:(d)Rule : Numbers in the second row are obtained by subtracting one from twice the
numbers of first row.
26. Sol: (a)Rule : Column one :4 4 (4)2 = 416
Column two : 5 5 (5)2 = 525
Column Three : 3 3 (3)2 = 309
Therefore column four : 2 2 (2)2 = 204.

30. Sol:(d)Formula : To find number of parallelograms made by set of m parallel lines onone side and set of n parallel lines other side is given by
(m)(m 1) (n)(n )
4
using m = 4 and n = 4
number of parallelograms
=
4 3 3 24
= 18 parallelogram
31. Sol:(c) count32. Sol:(e)

50. Sol:(c)Reason: Boy is son of Deepaks sister.
51. Sol: (a)Reason: Father wife Mother
Mothers only son Himself.
52. Sol:(a)Reason : Father of man is his father only because man does not have any brother or
sister.
53. Sol:(a)Reason: Rita is wife of her husband so man on stage is brother of her daughter.
Therefore man on stage is here son only.
54. Sol:(e)Reason : All odd placed numbers are increasing by 4 from beginning whereas
all even placed numbers are decreasing by 4 from end hence first 19 will be
replaced by 23.
55. Sol:(a)Reason: Here pattern formed is + 2, + 4, + 2, + 4 ... etc. So 19 will be replaced by 17.
56. Sol:(d)Reason : Pattern formed is 1 = 03 + 1
2 = 13 + 1
9 = 23 + 1
28 = 33 + 1
hence 60 will be replaced by 65 because 65 = 43 + 1.
57. Sol:(e)
Reason : Pattern is + 2, + 4, + 8, + 16, therefore 36 will be replaced by 33.
58. Sol: (a)Reason :0 = 12 1, 3 = 221, 8 = 321
15 = 421, 24 = 52 1, 35 = 621
therefore 1 will be replaced by 0.

59. Sol:(b)Reason: Any number in series is sum of two numbers before it. Hence number
22 will be replaced by 21.
60. Sol:(c)Reason : Second number 2 = 12
third number 6 = 2 3
fourth number 24 = 64
so fifth number will be 24 5 = 120
hence 119 will be replaced by 120.
The water images of alphabets are inverted alphabets at their own positions.

Reason : HOTEL = 8 + 15 + 20 + 5 +12 = 60
so code for BORE = 2+ 15+ 18+ 5 = 40
84. Sol: (c)Reason : Hotel is coded 300 which is five times of sum of positions occupied of
alphabets used in HOTEL so code for BORE will be 40 5 = 200.
85. Sol:(d)Reason : HOTEL =
60
2= 30
so BORE =40
2= 20
86. Sol:(a)Reason: length of each edge of square = 3d
so area of square = 3d3d = 9d2.
87. Sol:(a) Area of one square is A units hence area of 13 squares = 13ANOTE: In the mirror image alphabets interchanges their positions and also right

191.Sol:(c)
Sum of all interior angles of a polygon of n sides = (n 2) 180
Sum of all exterior angles of any polygon is always 360.
So as per given condition
(n2) 1 80 =1
2360
(n2) = 1 n = 3
192.Sol:(c)
Solution:
We also have a = 2b 135 5a 2b = 13 (1)
or b =2b 13
5
We also have b =30
a ab = 30. ... (2)
On cubing equation (1) both sides we get
125a3 8b3 30ab (5a 2b) = 2197
125a3 8b3 303013 = 2197
125a3 8b3 = 13897

Method: Here it is required to mention that is always equal to 180 hence 2 is equal to
360 so sum of the given angles is sum of angles of two triangles which is 360 or 2 .
196.Sol:(a)
Hint: Join O to B and then make use of property that angle subtended by an arc at
centre is double the angle subtended by same arc in any part of circle leaving the
given arc.
197.Sol:(a)
Solution: (x4 + x2 + 1)
Adding and subtracting x2
we get x4 + 2x2 + 1 x2
(x2 + 1)2 (x)2
(x2 + x + 1)(x2x+1)
198.Sol:(c)
Solution: Let acid in first jar is px litres y and water is 1x litres.
and acid in second jar is qy litres and water is 1y litres.
Volume of solution in first jar=Volume of solution in second jar.
so px + 1x = qy + 1y
x(p + 1) = y (q + 1)
x q 1
y p 1
Now when we mix the solutions of two jars
we get Acid = (px + qy) litres
Water = (x + y) litres
so ratio of acid to water =px qy
x y

2 (x) (x - 5) = 48
x = 12 cm.
200.Sol:(c)
Let seven consecutive numbers are (x), (x +1), (x + 2), (x + 6)
(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + ... + (x +6) = 1617
x = 228
So numbers are 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234.
5 of these numbers are not prime.
