5. 9 13 20 36 79 ?

A. 195 B. 210 C. 203 D. 205

Answer - Option c
Explanation - Series I : 9 13 20 36 79 ?
Series II : 4 7 16 43 ?
Series III : 3 9 27 ?
Series IV : ×3 ×3 ×3
Clearly, the pattern in series IV is multiples of 3.
So, the missing term in series III = 27 × 3 = 81
∴ missing term in series II = 43 + 81 = 124;
∴ missing term in series I = 79 + 124 = 203.
Series I : 9 13 20 36 79 203
Series II : 4 7 16 43 124
Series III : 3 9 27 81
Series IV : ×3 ×3 ×3
Hence, option C is correct.

1. What is the code of the word ‘Wisdom’?

A. %N9 B. $L19 C. $O19 D. %D19

Answer - Option B
Explanation - In the code given for each word,
Each of the symbols in the code represents the number of letters in its corresponding word. Such that:
‘%’ for the word in which the number of letters are odd.
‘$’ for the word in which the number of letters are even.
For example, number of letters in ‘Earth’ are 5 which is an odd number. Hence, the symbol is ‘%’.
Similarly, number of letters in ‘Laughs’ are 6 which is an even number. Hence, the symbol is ‘$’.
The second letter in the code denotes the reversed letter of the second letter from right end of its corresponding word.
For example, second letter from right end in ‘Earth’ is ‘T’ and the reversed letter of ‘T’ is ‘G’. Hence, the letter is ‘G’.
Similarly, second letter from right end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘H’ and the reversed letter of ‘H’ is ‘S’. Hence, the letter is ‘S’.
The digit of each code denotes the numeric position of third letter from left end in alphabetic series of its corresponding word.
For example, third letter from left end in ‘Earth’ is ‘R’ and the numeric position of ‘R’ is ‘18’. Hence, the number is ‘18’.
Similarly, third letter from left end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘U’ and the numeric position of ‘U’ is ‘21’. Hence, the number is ‘21’.
Thus, the code of Earth is ‘%G18’ and the code of Laughs is ‘$S21’.
2. ‘$Z1’ is the code for which of the following word?

A. Reach B. Your C. Own D. Star

Answer - Option D
Explanation - In the code given for each word,
Each of the symbols in the code represents the number of letters in its corresponding word. Such that:
‘%’ for the word in which the number of letters are odd.
‘$’ for the word in which the number of letters are even.
For example, number of letters in ‘Earth’ are 5 which is an odd number. Hence, the symbol is ‘%’.
Similarly, number of letters in ‘Laughs’ are 6 which is an even number. Hence, the symbol is ‘$’.
The second letter in the code denotes the reversed letter of the second letter from right end of its corresponding word.
For example, second letter from right end in ‘Earth’ is ‘T’ and the reversed letter of ‘T’ is ‘G’. Hence, the letter is ‘G’.
Similarly, second letter from right end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘H’ and the reversed letter of ‘H’ is ‘S’. Hence, the letter is ‘S’.
The digit of each code denotes the numeric position of third letter from left end in alphabetic series of its corresponding word.
For example, third letter from left end in ‘Earth’ is ‘R’ and the numeric position of ‘R’ is ‘18’. Hence, the number is ‘18’.
Similarly, third letter from left end in ‘Laughs’ is ‘U’ and the numeric position of ‘U’ is ‘21’. Hence, the number is ‘21’.
Thus, the code of Earth is ‘%G18’ and the code of ‘$S21’.

1. Statement: Should India encourage exports, when most things are insufficient for internal use itself? Arguments:
1. Yes. We have to earn foreign exchange to pay for our imports. 2. No. Even selective encouragement would lead to shortages.

A. Only argument I is strong B. Only argument II is strong C. Either I or II is strong D. Neither I nor II is strong

Answer - Option A
Explanation - Clearly, India can export only the surplus and that which can be saved after fulfilling its own needs, to pay for its imports. Encouragement to export cannot lead to shortages as it shall provide the resources for imports. So, only argument I holds.
2. Statement:Should all the drugs patented and manufactured in Western countries be first tried out on sample basis before giving licence for sale to general public in India? Arguments: 1. Yes. Many such drugs require different doses and duration for Indian population and hence it is necessary. 2. No. This is just not feasible and hence cannot be implemented.

A. Only argument I is strong B. Only argument II is strong C. Either I or II is strong D. Neither I nor II is strong

Answer - Option A
Explanation - Clearly, health of the citizens is an issue of major concern for the Government. So, a product like drugs, must be first studied and tested in the Indian context before giving licence for its sale. So, only argument I holds strong.
