Answer: Option (E)
Puzzles
1. Which one will replace the question mark ?
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
(18 x 12)/3 = 72
and (32 x 16)/4 = 128
Therefore, (24 x 14)/? = 112
(336/?) = 112
? = (336/112)
? = 3.
2. Which one will replace the question mark?
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
(0 + 2 + 6 + 4) - 2 = 10
and (6 + 2 + 10 + 8) - 2 = 24
Therefore, (4 + 14 + 12 + 10) - 2 = 38.
3. Which one will replace the question mark?
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
Sum of numbers in lower half of the circle = 11 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 30
Sum of numbers in upper half of the circle = ? + 4 + 5 + 6 = ? + 15
The upper half = Lower half
30 = ? + 15
? = 30 - 15
? = 15.
Threfore, 15 is the answer.
4. Which one will replace the question mark?
A. 262
B. 622
C. 631
D. 824
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
915 - 364 = 551
and 789 - 543 = 246
Similarly, 863 - 241 = 622.
5. Which one will replace the question mark?
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
(6 + 5) - (7 + 4) = 0
and (7 + 6) - (8 + 4) = 1
Therefore (11 + 2) - (2 + 0) = 11.

Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
In each step, the pin rotates 90oCW and the arrow rotates 90[latex]^{0}[/latex]ACW.
2. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
In one step, the figure gets laterally inverted and one line segment is lost from the upper end of the RHS portion of the figure. In the next step, the figure gets laterally inverted and one line segment is lost from the upper end of the LHS portion of the figure.
3. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Answer: Option (B)
4. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
All the elements move half-a-side of the square boundary in ACW direction in each step. Also, first, third and fifth elements are replaced by new elements in one step and second, fourth and sixth elements are replaced by new elements in the next step. The two steps are repeated alternately.
5. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Answer: Option (E)
Explanation:
In the first step, the ACW end element moves two spaces (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) in an ACW direction. In the second step, the CW-end element moves three spaces ACW. In the third step, the remaining element moves four spaces ACW. The three steps are repeated to continue the series.
Arithmetical Reasoning
1. A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, "If you give me three cards, you will have as many as E has and if I give you three cards, you will have as many as D has." A and B together have 10 cards more than what D and E together have. If B has two cards more than what C has and the total number of cards be 133, how many cards does B have?
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
Clearly, we have :
B-3 = E ...(i)
B + 3 = D ...(ii)
A+B = D + E+10 ...(iii)
B = C + 2 ...(iv)
A+B + C + D + E= 133 ...(v)
From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)
From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)
Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:
(B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133 5B = 125 B = 25.
2. Two bus tickets from city A to B and three tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city A to B and two tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities B and C from A?
A. Rs. 4, Rs. 23
B. Rs. 13, Rs. 17
C. Rs. 15, Rs. 14
D. Rs. 17, Rs. 13
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A.
Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and
3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17.
Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.
3. The total of the ages of Amar, Akbar and Anthony is 80 years. What was the total of their ages three years ago?
A. 71 years
B. 72 years
C. 74 years

Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
Required sum = (80 - 3 x 3) years = (80 - 9) years = 71 years.
4. A girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand: She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted to 1994. Did she end counting on which finger?
A. Thumb
B. Index finger
C. Middle finger
D. Ring finger
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
Clearly, while counting, the numbers associated with the thumb will be 1, 9,17, 25,.....
i.e. numbers of the form (8n + 1).
Since 1994 = 249 x 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger.
5. In a garden, there are 10 rows and 12 columns of mango trees. The distance between the two trees is 2 metres and a distance of one metre is left from all sides of the boundary of the garden. The length of the garden is
A. 20 m
B. 22 m
C. 24 m
D. 26 m
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
Each row contains 12 plants.
There are 11 gapes between the two corner trees (11 x 2) metres and 1 metre on each side is left.
Therefore Length = (22 + 2) m = 24 m.
