Q.1)
Ans) a
Exp) Option a is the correct answer.
In addressing this problem, we anchor our calculations on May 10, 1997, aiming to ascertain the count of
odd days extending to October 10, 2001.
Commencing from May 11, 1997, to May 10, 1998, we encounter 1 odd day.
Progressing to May 11, 1998, through to May 10, 1999, another single odd day is observed.
The span from May 11, 1999, to May 10, 2000, yields 2 odd days, attributed to the leap year status of 2000.
From May 11, 2000, to May 10, 2001, we revert to 1 odd day.
Aggregating the odd days up to May 10, 2001, we reach a total of 5.
The latter part of May contributes 0 odd days.
The subsequent months up to October 10, 2001, provide additional odd days:
June with 2, July with 3, August with 3, September with 2, and the first 10 days of October contributing 3
odd days, culminating in a sum of 18 odd days, which simplifies to 4 odd days when accounting for full
weeks.
Given that May 10, 1997, was a Monday, advancing 4 days from Monday lands us on Friday. Therefore, the
day corresponding to October 10, 2001, was Friday.

Q.2)
Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
The last two letters of each group follow a consecutive ascending alphabetical order: AB, CD, EF, GH, ...
The next in this sequence would be IJ.
The first two letters of each group follow a consecutive descending alphabetical order:
YZ, WX, UV, ST, ... The next in this sequence would be QR.
Hence, the correct sequence would be - QRIJ

Q.3)

Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Let's analyze the sequence:
1. Start walking
2. Keep standing
3. Start running at the same spot
4. Sit down
The sequence repeats after the student sits down. So, to find out how many times the student sits down,
we need to find the number of complete cycles in the sequence. The sequence can be divided into four
parts
1. Start walking -> Keep standing -> Start running -> Sit down
2. Keep standing -> Start running -> Sit down
3. Start running -> Sit down

1) "This man's son" implies the man has a son.
2) "My son's paternal uncle" refer to Kevin's brother. However, since the uncle is also the man's son in the
portrait, it means the uncle is Kevin's brother.
3) If Kevin's son's uncle (who is Kevin's brother) is also the man's son, then the man in the portrait must
be Kevin's father, as he is the father of both Kevin and Kevin's brother.

Hence, option b is correct.

Q.6)
Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Statement-1: "R is the brother of S, and S is the sister of T." This statement establishes that R is male and
S is female. It tells us that T has a sister named S, but it does not specify T's gender. T could be either
male or female, so we cannot conclusively determine if T is the sister of R.

Statement-2: R, S, and T are siblings but does not provide any information about their individual genders
beyond what was already known from Statement-1.
Hence, option d is correct.

The given expression comprises of two sequences:—-
1) 4, 9, 20, 43, 90
2) 5, 16, 50, 153, 459
The first sequence is : [{(4x2)+1} =9] , [{(9x2)+2} = 20], [{(20x2)+3}=43], [{(43x2)+4}=90]
So in the 1st sequence, all terms are correct.
The second sequence is : [{(5x3)+1} =16] , [{(16x3)+2} = 50], [{(50x3)+3}=153], [{(153x3)+4}=463]
In the second sequence in the question, last term(459) is incorrect, which will be replaced by 463.

Q.9)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Let's break down the information step by step:
Total Number of Persons: 6 men.
Football: 4 players, Cricket: 4 players, Badminton: 3 player, Actor: 1 person
Gomesh and Varun are among the Badminton players.
Jaswant and Suresh do not know how to play Badminton.
Suresh and Tarun are among the Football players.
Jaswant, Varun, Suresh, and Tarun are all Cricket players.
Two of them (Jaswant, Varun, Suresh, and Tarun) are also Badminton players.
Paras is an Actor.
Let's analyze further:
Badminton Players: Since Gomesh and Varun are among the Badminton players, and only one other
person can be a Badminton player among Jaswant, Suresh, and Tarun (as Jaswant and Suresh do not play
Badminton), Tarun must be the third Badminton player.
Cricket Players: Given that Jaswant, Varun, Suresh, and Tarun are all Cricket players, and two of them are
also Badminton players, it means Jaswant and Varun must be the ones who play both Cricket and
Badminton.
Football Players: Since Suresh and Tarun are among the Football players and both are also Cricket
players, Tarun must be the Football player who also plays Badminton, as Suresh does not play Badminton.
Therefore, Tarun is the player who is both a Football and a Badminton player in this group..

Q.10)
Ans) a
Exp) Option a is the correct answer.
Let's denote Ashish’s present age as 'a' year and,
Rohit's present age as 'b' years. Given the equations:
1. (a + x = 2(b + x))…………….. (1)
2. (b + 2x = a)……………………… (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we can derive (b + 3x = 2b + 2x), which simplifies to;
(b = x) and (a = 3x).
From statement I, we have (a - b = 5), which leads to (3x - x = 5), thus allowing us to determine the value
of x . Therefore, statement I alone is sufficient. To answer the question
However, from statement II, (a + 2x = 5b ). Substituting (a = 3x ) and ( b = x ) gives ( 5x = 5x ), which doesn't
provide enough information to find the value of x . Thus, statement II alone is not sufficient.

Hence, total no of sweets kept in the 50th plate:
1+2+5+10+25+50 = 93.
Statement 1 is correct: The sum of the digits of the total number of sweets placed in the 50 th place is
9+3=12, and 12 is divisible by 3.
Hence this statement is correct.
Statement 2 is correct: 93 is a composite number, as it has factors other than 1 and itself, like 3 and 31.

Step 1: Barun is at one end of the row, and Farhan is at the third place to the left of Barun. So Barun has to
be at index 9, so that Farhan is to the left of him at index 6.
Step 2: Aman is immediate left of Farhan .so he is at index 5.
Step 3: Hira is seated adjacent to both Farhan and Gautam. So, he has to be at index 7, and Gautam at
index 8
Step 4: Chaman is third place to the right of Eshan. So, Eshan has to be at index 1, then Chaman will be at
index 4.
Step 5: Chaman is to the immediate right of Dev. So, Dev is at index 3.
Now we are left with one position and one person, so Ishan is at index 2.
So, he is second in the row from the left end.

Shikhar resides on a floor which is even. so Shikhar is at either two or six.
Reeshav didn’t stay on the top floor. So Reeshav can be on any floor 3/5/1
We do not have information about other people's floor. So we cannot find out with certainty on which
floor Shikhar resides. Thus who resides on the top floor can’t be known. Hence statement one alone is
not sufficient to answer the question

4 Rehman

2 Shikhar

Statement : 2 Reeshav is two floors below Piku who is 3 floors above Shikhar.
Since Piku has to be three floors above Shikhar, so Shikhar will be at floor 1/2/3
If we place Shikhar at floor 1, Piku will be at floor 4
Reeshav is two floors below Piku, so Reeshav can be on floor 2 then. Still now we don’t have clarity on
who is on other floors. So Statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Floor Person

4 Piku

2 Resshav

1 Shikhar

Using both Statement -1 and 2:

Step 1: Rehman stays on the fourth floor..
Step 2: Shikhar stays on a floor which is even. So he has to be on floor 2 or floor 6.
Step 3: Reeshav is two floors below Piku ,who is 3 floors above Shikhar. So Shikhar can’t be at floor 6, as
then the condition that Piku is three floors above Shikhar will not be satisfied.
Hence, Shikhar has to be on floor two and Piku will be on floor 5th.
Step 4: Reeshav is two floors below Piku. So he is on Floor 3

Rank Person

5 Piku

4 Rehman

Q.16)
Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Analyzing the given code for "ALGEBRA" being written as "GLARBEA", we notice a pattern where the first
three letters are rearranged in reverse order, and then the next three letters are written in reverse order
and the last letter of the original alphabet remains unchanged.
Hence, applying the same logic on the word ‘NUMBERS’
Reversing the alphabet in the batch of 3 and not changing the last sentence alphabet ‘s’, the letter would
be - MUNREBS.
Hence option b is correct.

Statement-2: This statement indicates V is seated between M and N and third to the left of S.

(direction of sight)
Combining information from both of the statements, it can be conclusively derived that S is seated at the
extreme right of the row.
Hence, option c is correct.

Given the statements and their truth values:
1. Condition 1: which is true says Both A and B could not be selected for interview round. It means
Neither A nor B is selected for Interview round.
2. Condition 2: C and D were both selected for the interview round is false, indicating that either one or
both of them was selected for the interview round.
3. Condition 3: At least one among A, B, and C must be selected for the interview round, ensuring that
there is at least one selection from these three.

Considering these constraints, Either C or D or both can be said to be selected for interview, which
supports conclusion 1.
Since at least one of A, B, or C must be selected for the interview round and A and B cannot both be
selected for the interview round, there's a scenario where C is selected for interview round.
Now it is not clear whether D is selected or not selected for the interview round. Hence Conclusion 2
cannot be drawn from the given information.
Therefore, option a is the correct answer.

Q.30)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer
Let x and y be the tens and unit’s digits respectively of the numeral denoting the Shakuntala’s age. Then,
Shakuntala’s age = (10x + y) years. Husband’s age = (10y + x) years. As we know that difference between
their ages is one-eleventh of their sum. So, we get,
(10y + x) – (10x + y) = (10y + x + 10x + y)/11
(9y – 9x) = (11x + 11y)/11 9y – 9x = x + y
10x = 8y
5x = 4y
Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5. So, x = 4, y = 5.
Hence, Shakuntala’s age = 10x + y = 45 years.

Q.31)

Exp) Option a is the correct answer.
Let the number of brothers be "b"
and the number of sisters be "s".
Since Ramesh is a brother, he will not count himself when talking about the number of brothers. So, s =
2(b - 1) {Twice as many sisters as brothers}
Now, Sunita is a sister, and she will not count herself when talking about the number of sisters.
Therefore, s - 1 = b or s = b+1
Solving the two equations,
b+1 = 2b – 2
we get s = 4 and b = 3

Q.32)
Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Here it is clearly mentioned that Rohit is opposite to Animesh. Also, Sita is in between Ram and Om,
which means that Ram and Om must be opposite to each other.
Now, we are left only with Kavita and Sita. So, they will be facing each other.
Thus people facing each other should be:
Ram <> Om
Rohit <> Animesh
Kavita < > Sita
Hence, option (d) is correct.

The seventh day of the month is three days earlier than Monday, which is Friday. This means the month
begins at Saturday that is 1st of the month is Saturday.
7th is Friday
8th is Saturday
9th is Sunday
And 10th is Monday
Thus, counting ahead we can find that
20th is Thursday.
We can also apply weekly logic and find that 21st would be Friday as 7th is Friday so 20th would be
Thursday.

The difference = 270 - 225 = 45 degrees
(towards clock wise because the total degrees in
clockwise is more than that of anti-clockwise direction)
So, 45 degrees in clockwise direction from the West will be: North-West.
