ANSWERS

1. Ans. D.

Given word: ‘OFFICER’.

After rearranging them in alphabetical

order from left to right in such a way that

vowels are arranged first followed by

consonants: ‘EIOCFFR’.

Hence, there are three letters in between

O and R after the arrangement.

2. Ans. E.

Required pairs = (MO, PR, OP, RX).

3. Ans. B.

is the correct answer as only 1 digit will

remain at same place.

4. Ans. C.

9-2=7

6+1=7

3-2=1

5-2=3

2+1=3

9-2=7

4+1=5

7-2=5

The new number formed is 77133755.

Therefore number 7, 3 and 5 occur twice

or more number of times.

5. Ans. A.

D A N G E R O U S

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The first, fifth, seventh and eighth letters

are D, E, O, U. No meaningful word can

be formed.

6. Ans. E.

All the pairs are opposite letters except

K, Y.

7. Ans. C.

2nd letter = E; 4th letter = A; 9th letter

= T, 11th letter = D

Letters have given: E, A, T, D

Possible words: DATE

Hence, only one word can be made and

the answer is T.

8. Ans. E.

Given number is: 918755389401

After interchanging the positions of the

digits as per the question, the number

becomes: 197855834910

Thus, the 7th digit from the right end will

be 5.

9. Ans. D.

Sequence: Acceptable, Accidental,

Accommodation, Account, Accurate

So, Accommodation will come in the

middle.

10. Ans. E.

After replacing the even numbers by 2

21. Ans. B.

After the arrangement numbers are,

334, 889, 764, 519, 604

Only 519 divisible by 3, so answer is One.

22. Ans. A.


431, 986, 654, 931, 440

23. Ans. D.

Third digit of the highest number (689) =

9

The second digit of the lowest number

(134)=3

So, 9/3=3

24. Ans. C.


236, 791, 666, 421, 506

Second highest digit is 666, that means

564 is answer.

25. Ans. B.


314, 869, 654, 139, 044

So highest number is 869, that means

answer is 689.

26. Ans. C.

J > K, M ….(i)

J > O ….(ii)

N > J ….(iii)

N did not get the highest marks.

O > K ….(iv)

K did not get the lowest marks.

From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get

L > N > J > O > K > M

Thus, L, N and J got more marks than

that of O.

Hence, option C is correct.

27. Ans. A.

J > K, M ….(i)

J > O ….(ii)

N > J ….(iii)


O > K ….(iv)



L > N > J > O > K > M

Thus, L got highest marks.

Hence, option A is correct.

28. Ans. D.

J > K, M ….(i)

J > O ….(ii)

N > J ….(iii)


O > K ….(iv)



L > N > J > O > K > M

K got more marks than that of M.

Therefore, M’s marks would be less than

65.

Hence, option D is correct.

29. Ans. B.

J > K, M ….(i)

J > O ….(ii)

N > J ….(iii)


O > K ….(iv)



L > N > J > O > K > M

Therefore, four persons -J, O, K and M

got less marks than that of N.

Hence, option B is correct.

30. Ans. E.

J > K, M ….(i)

J > O ….(ii)

N > J ….(iii)


O > K ….(iv)



L > N > J > O > K > M

Thus, M got the lowest marks.

Hence, option E is correct.

31. Ans. A.

According to the clues, we get

>Q> M> P; C, P> D and > N

Merging the clues, we get

C > Q > M > P > D > N

C is the heaviest of them all.

32. Ans. E.




C > Q > M > P > D > N

We can determine the individual weights

of P and D. Weight of N should be less

than 30 kg which is not mentioned in the

given options.

33. Ans. A.




C > Q > M > P > D > N

34. Ans. C.

10


C > Q > M > P > D > N

C is heavier than Q. So, C is 110 kg.

35. Ans. A.




C > Q > M > P > D > N

As no weights are given. So, it can't be

determined.
