1) Answer: C

2) Answer: D

3) Answer: A

4) Answer: C

Directions (5-6) :

5) Answer: C

Let’s check out all the options,

a) I # J $ K $ L * M

L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.

b) I / J $ K $ L * M

L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.

c) M @ I # J # L # N

L is not the daughter of M. Hence, it is true.

d) N / M # I $ L * J

L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.

e) M # I $ J $ L * K

L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.

Hence, M @ I # J # L # N is true if “L is not the daughter of M”.

6) Answer: B

Let’s check out all the options,

a) A / B @ G # C $ F

In the figure, F is the husband of G.

d) G # A @ B # F $ C

F is the grandson of G.

Directions (7-10) :

7) Answer: C

We have:

38425 ROAD, 46258 PART, 63724 FARE, 62837 LADE, 53924 SIDE

Word preceded by even number = PART, FARE, SIDE.

After adding ‘L’ at 2nd place from left we have:

PLART, FLARE, SLIDE

Thus, only two meaningful word can be formed = FLARE & SLIDE.

Word preceded by an odd number = ROAD & LADE

After adding ‘B’ at 1st position from left we have:

BROAD & BLADE

Thus, only two meaningful word can be formed = BROAD & BLADE.

Hence, option C is correct choice.

8) Answer: B

We have:

38425, 46258, 63724, 62837, 53924

After rearranging digits within 5-digit numbers we have:

23458, 24568, 23467, 23678, 23459

Clearly, “23467” is third lowest number which belongs to “63724”.

Hence, option B is correct choice.

9) Answer: E

We have:

ROAD, PART, FARE, LADE, SIDE

After rearranging letters of words in alphabetical order we get:

ADOR, APRT, AEFR, ADER, DEIS

After rearranging words in dictionary we get:

ADER, ADOR, AEFR, APRT, DEIS

3rd letter of second word from right end “APRT” à R

3rd letter of second word from left end “ADOR” à O

Thus, number of letters between ‘O’ & ‘R’ à 2

Hence, option E is correct choice.

10) Answer: E

We have:

ROAD, PART, FARE, LADE, SIDE

After interchanging letters of the word, we get:

QPBC, OBQS, EBQF, KBCF, RJCF

Thus, no such word are possible.

Hence, option E is correct choice.
