In the first and second codes, i.e.,

see that the word "Are" is
common. Therefore, 6 is the code for "Are"
lary. in the first and third codes, i.e., [11 IfPLAY is codedas 8123 and RHYME is coded as 49367.What will be

corresponding phrases,
i.e., you Are Good", and "Good And Bad, we can see that (a) 6217 (b) 6198
«Good" is Common. Theretore, 5 is the code for "Good", the word (c) 6395 (d) 6285 (1 mark)

Gimilary, in the seCond and third codes, ie., 637 and 358, we Answer:
can see
that the common digit is 3. Also, if we look at their (a)
ark corresponding
nhrases, ie., "We Are Bad", and Good And Bad", we can see that P L A Y R H YM E
word "Bad is common. Therefore, 3is the code for "Bad".
Now. let's look at the last code along with its corresponding phrase: 1 2 3 4 9 6 7
358 ’ Go0d And Bad
We know that 3 corresponds to "Bad", and 5 corresponds to "Good". TI

Therefore, 8 would correspond to "And".

Answer:
Which of the following is odd one?
(a) CEHL (b) KMPT (c) 4 x 4= 16;
16 x 4 = 64;
(c) OQTX (d) NPSV (1 mark)
Answer:
64 x 4 = 256;
256 x 4 = 1,024
(d) Option (a) ’ C +2 =E; E+3= H; H+4=L
Therefore, the missing number is 64.
Option (b)’K+2=M; M +3=P; P+4=T
Option (c) ’0+2=Q; Q +3=T; T+4=X SYSTEM 0s coded as 131625 then TERMS will be coded as?
Option (d) ’ N+2= P; P+3 = S; S + 4 = W, but there is Vin [41
(a) 62251 (b) 62451
place of VW, so, option (d) is the odd one out. (d) 62415
(c) 64251 (1mark)
Answer:
2019- NoVEMBER (b) We can see that the word TERMS" has the letter "R", which is not
present in "SYSTEM". Therefore, we do not have a code for "R".
We would look at the 3d digit in allthe options and see if the third
1 Complete the series. digit is there in the code for SYSTEM, or not. We find that the third
4, 16, 36, 64, 100 digit in option (a) is 2, which is present in the code for "SYSTEM".
(a) 144 (b) 121 Similarly, the third digit in option (c) is 2, which is present in the
(c) 49 (d) 120 (1 mark) code for "SYSTEM". Therefore, options (a) and (c) are out. Now,
Answer: since the first three digits are the same in option (b) as well in
(a) 2 = 4; 4 = 16;6 =36; 8 = 64; 10 =100. Therefore, we can see option (d), let's check the fourth letter in TERMS, i.e., M. The code
that this is series of squares of even numbers; next term would be for Mis 5. Therefore, option (b) is the answer.
12 = 144.

Answer: (a) The difference between 5 and1 is 4, which is 2; the difference
(c) 27 is the only perfect cube. between 14 and 5 is 9. which is 32: the difference between 30 and
14 is 16, which is 42; therefore, the difference between 49 and 30

Answer:
Answer: 2
(c) Look at the numbers 4, 10, 20, 43, 90
(d) Numerators are increasing in the order +5, + 10, +20, +40. The pattern of this series is as follows:
Therefore, the numerator will be 18 + 20 = 38 4
Denominators are increasing in the order +11, +22, +44, + 88. (4 x 2) + 1=8+ 1=9
Therefore, the denominator will be 41 +44 =85 (9x 2) +2= 18+2=20

Now we want COAT: 3rd term:GIKM - Positions: 7 911 13
C-7 -- Again +2
O-2 So, pattern alternates between +2 and -2
A-3 Next term should have differences of 2 between each two
