1. A clock viewed in a mirror shows 7:20. What is the actual time?

4:20

5:40

4:40

5:20

Subtract the mirror time from 11:60: 11:60 – 7:20 = 4:40.

2. You are facing North-East and walk 10 m forward. You then turn left and walk 7.5 m. How far are you from your initial position?

10 m

15 m

8.5 m

12.5 m

The two movements are perpendicular. Using the Pythagorean theorem: sqrt(10² + 7.5²) = sqrt(156.25) = 12.5 m.

3. If ‘F, J, Q, P’ corresponds to ‘D, L, O, R’, what corresponds to ‘G, M, I, L’ using the same rule?

E O G N

E P G N

E N G O

F O H M

The letter shifts alternate as -2, +2, -2, +2. Therefore G→E, M→O, I→G, and L→N.

4. Find the missing number in the analogy: 21 : 3 :: 574 : ?

The first number is divided by 7: 21 ÷ 7 = 3. Applying the same rule, 574 ÷ 7 = 82.

5. Woman A walks 1 km South, turns right, and walks 6 km. Woman B walks 5 km West, turns North and walks 4 km, then turns left and walks 1 km. Where is Woman B relative to Woman A?

5 km North

5 km South

4 km North

6 km East

A ends at 6 km West and 1 km South of the start. B ends at 6 km West and 4 km North. Thus B is 5 km North of A.

6. Select the related word: PEACE : UPROAR :: CREATION : ?

Construction

Build

Destruction

Order

Peace and uproar are opposites. Similarly, creation and destruction are opposites.

7. John used to buy petrol at ₹80/liter. Now he buys it at ₹85/liter. What is the percentage increase?

6.25%

5.00%

6.50%

5.25%

Percentage increase = ((85 – 80) / 80) × 100 = 6.25%.

8. Find the odd one out among the given options: N P, D F, V W, H J.

N P

D F

V W

H J

N→P, D→F, and H→J each have a difference of 2 alphabet positions. V→W has a difference of only 1.

9. Arrange in logical sequence: 1. Flat, 2. Street, 3. Room, 4. Apartment, 5. Town.

3, 4, 1, 2, 5

3, 1, 5, 2, 4

3, 1, 2, 4, 5

3, 1, 4, 2, 5

The logical order from the smallest residential unit to the largest area is Room → Flat → Apartment → Street → Town.

10. Which set follows the same logic as (7, 15, 31)?

(5, 10, 25)

(6, 13, 27)

(3, 7, 15)

(2, 5, 11)

The rule is multiply by 2 and add 1: 7×2+1=15 and 15×2+1=31. Therefore (3, 7, 15) follows the same rule.

11. Which of the following words does NOT belong with the others: Chirp, Neigh, Bleat, Frisk?

Chirp

Neigh

Bleat

Frisk

Chirp, neigh, and bleat are sounds made by animals. Frisk describes an action or movement.

12. Complete the unit analogy: WORK : JOULE :: AREA : ?

Length

Perimeter

Radian

Hectare

Joule is a unit of work, while hectare is a unit used to measure area.

13. If a dice shows 6 adjacent to 2, 3, 4, and 5, which number lies directly opposite to 6?

A face of a standard six-faced die has four adjacent faces and one opposite face. Since 2, 3, 4, and 5 are adjacent to 6, the remaining number 1 is opposite 6.

14. Statements: Some Monitors are Keyboards. All Keyboards are Mouses. No Speaker is a Mouse. Conclusions: I. Some Mouses are Monitors. II. No Mouse is a Speaker.

Only Conclusion I follows

Only Conclusion II follows

Neither I nor II follows

Both Conclusion I and II follow

Some Monitors are Keyboards and all Keyboards are Mouses, so some Monitors are Mouses. No Speaker is a Mouse means no Mouse is a Speaker. Therefore both conclusions follow.
