Analogies
Direction (1 - 5): A good way to figure out the relationship in a given question is to make up a sentence that describes the relationship between the first two words. Then, try to use the same sentence to find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with the third word.
1. Odometer is to mileage as compass is to
A. speed
B. hiking
C. needle

4. Cup is to coffee as the bowl is to
A. dish
B. soup
C. spoon
D. food
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:

Mathematical operations
1. Find out the two signs to be interchanged for making following equation correct :
5 + 3 x 8 - 12 ÷ 4 = 3
A. + and -
B. - and ÷
C. + and x
D. + and ÷
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
On interchanging - and ÷,
we get the equation as
5 + 3 x 8 ÷ 12 - 4 = 3
or 5 + 3 x 2/3 - 4 = 3
or 3 = 3, which is true.
2. Give interchanges: Signs - and x and numbers 3 and 6.
A. 6 - 3 x 2 = 9
B. 3 - 6 x 8 = 10
C. 6 x 3 - 4 = 15
D. 3 x 6 - 4 = 33
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
On interchanging - and x and 3 and 6 in (b),
we get the equation as
6 x 3 - 8 = 10
or 18 - 8 = 10
or 10 = 10, which is true.
3. Find out the two signs to be interchanged for making the following equation correct :
5 + 3 x 8 - 12 ÷ 4 = 3
A. + and -
B. - and ÷
C. + and x
D. + and ÷
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
On interchanging - and ÷,
we get the equation as
5 + 3 x 8 ÷ 12 - 4 = 3
or 5 + 3 x 2/3 - 4 = 3
or 3 = 3, which is true.
4. Given interchanges: Signs - and ÷ and numbers 4 and 8.
A. 6 - 8 ÷ 4 = - 1
B. 8 - 6 ÷ 4 = 1
C. 4 ÷ 8 - 2 = 6
D. 4 - 8 ÷ 6 = 2
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
On interchanging - and ÷ and 4 and 8 in (c),
we get the equation as
8 - 4 ÷ 2 = 6
or
8 - 2 = 6 or 6 = 6,
which is true.
5. Given interchanges: Signs + and x and numbers 4 and 5.
A. 5 x 4 + 20 = 40
B. 5 x 4 + 20 = 85
C. 5 x 4 + 20 = 104
D. 5 x 4 + 20 = 95
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
On interchanging + and x and 4 and 5 in (c),
we get the equation as
4 + 5 x 20 = 104 or 104 = 104,
which is true.

Data Interpretation and Sufficiency
1. What is Reena's rank in the class ?
I. There are 26 students in the class.
II. There are 9 students who have scored less then Reena.
A. if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question;
B. if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
C. if the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
D. if the data even in both the statement together are not sufficient to answer the question;
E. if the data in both the statements together are needed.
Answer: Option (E)
Explanation:
From I and II, we conclude that there are 16 students above Reena in rank. Thus, Reena's rank is 17th in the class. So, both statements are necessary.
2. Who is the father of M?
I. A and B are brothers.
II. B's wife is the sister of M's wife.
A. if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question;
