2.

A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E

Answer: C

1. 7, 9, 12, 48, ?, 890

A. 128 B. 190 C. 172 D. 168 E. None of these

Answer: C
Explanation: Series Pattern
7 × 1 + 1 × 2 = 9
9 × 2 – 2 × 3 = 12
12 × 3 + 3 × 4 = 48
48 × 4 – 4 × 5 = 172
172 × 5 + 5 × 6 = 890
2. 47 58 71 79 95 ?

A. 108 B. 107 C. 105 D. 109 E. None of the above

Answer:D
Explanation: Series Pattern
47 + (7 + 4) = 58
58 + (5 + 8) = 71
71 + (7 + 1) = 79
79 + (7 + 9) = 95
95 + (9 + 5) = 109

1. If 2 is added to the first digit of every even number and 1 is subtracted from the first digit of every odd number, what will be the difference between the 2nd largest and 2nd smallest number?

A. 455 B. 211 C. 559 D. 317 E. None of these

Answer:B
Explanation The given sequence: 657 412 568 413 672
The new sequence: 557 612 768 313 872
The sequence in ascending order: 313 557 612 768 872
The 2nd largest number = 768
The 2nd smallest number = 557
The required difference = 768 – 557 = 211
2. If all the digits in each of the numbers are arranged in descending order within the number, what will be the square of the sum of the digits of the largest number?

A. 361 B. 441 C. 324 D. 400 E. None of these

Answer:A
Explanation: The given sequence: 657 412 568 413 672
Clearly, if the digits in each of the numbers are arranged in descending order, the largest unit digit among all will become the largest number after the rearrangement.
If we observe, we find that the largest unit digit we get in the number ‘568’ and if we arrange its digits in descending order the number becomes: 865
Sum of its digits = 8 + 6 + 5 = 19
Square of 19 = 361

1.If 8th April, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 8th April, 2004?

A. Sunday B. Monday C. Thrusday D. Saturday E. None of these

Answer:A
Explanation: The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from April 2004 to April 2005.
Thus, it has 1 odd day only.
The day on 8th April, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 8th April, 2004.
Given that, 8th March, 2005 is Monday.
8th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 8th March, 2005).

Answer:C
Explanation: We shall find the day on 1st May, 2001.
1st May, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.5.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April May
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 1) = 121 days 2 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 2) = 2
On 1st May, 2001 it was Tuesday.
In May, 2001 Thursday falls on 3th, 10th, 17th and 24th, 31st.
