33

32

34

35

According to the given information :

Total students in the class = 49

Karim's rank from the top = 16

Karim's rank from the bottom = Total students - Rank from the top + 1

Karim's rank from the bottom = 49 - 16 + 1 = 34.

Hence, the correct answer is "34".

9 / 20

What was the day of the week on November 14, 1997?

Thursday

Friday

Sunday

Saturday

The logic follows here is:

No. of Odd days	Ordinary Year	Leap Year
	365/7 = 52 weeks + 1 odd day	366/7 = 52 weeks + 2 odd day

The number of odd days in Centuries:

Years	No. of odd days
100 years	5
200 years	3
300 years	1
400 years	0

Note:- Multiple of 400 years i.e. 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 have 0 odd days.

Calculating leap year: For Finding a number of leap year (1 - 99) years, divide the number of years by 4 and the quotient will be the number of leap years.

Code of weekdays:

No. of odd days	Day
0	Sunday
1	Monday

÷ and ×

+ and –

The logic followed here is :-

By using BODMAS RULE :

Option 1) : + and ×

Given equation : 32 + 24 × 4 ÷ 16 – 64 = 90

After interchanging the symbols in given equation the equation is as follows : 32 × 24 + 4 ÷ 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 × 24 + 4 ÷ 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 × 24 + 0.25 - 64 = 90

⇒ 768 + 0.25 - 64 = 90

⇒ 768.25 - 64 = 90

⇒ 704.25 ≠ 90

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) : ÷ and +

Given equation : 32 + 24 × 4 ÷ 16 – 64 = 90

After interchanging the symbols in given equation the equation is as follows : 32 ÷ 24 × 4 + 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 ÷ 24 × 4 + 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 1.333 × 4 + 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 5.333 + 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 21.333 - 64 = 90

⇒ - 42.666 ≠ 90

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) : ÷ and ×

Given equation : 32 + 24 × 4 ÷ 16 – 64 = 90

After interchanging the symbols in given equation the equation is as follows : 32 + 24 ÷ 4 × 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 + 24 ÷ 4 × 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 + 6 × 16 - 64 = 90

⇒ 32 + 96 - 64 = 90

⇒ 128 - 64 = 90

⇒ 64 ≠ 90

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 4) : + and –

Given equation : 32 + 24 × 4 ÷ 16 – 64 = 90

After interchanging the symbols in given equation the equation is as follows : 32 - 24 × 4 ÷ 16 + 64 = 90

⇒ 32 - 24 × 4 ÷ 16 + 64 = 90

⇒ 32 - 24 × 0.25 + 64 = 90

⇒ 32 - 6 + 64 = 90

⇒ 96 - 6 = 90

⇒ 90 = 90

LHS = RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "+ and –".

In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.

Statements:

I. All W are C.

II. All C are L.

III. All J are L.

Conclusions:

I. No J is W.

II. Some L are J.

III. Some J are C.

Only conclusion II follows

Neither conclusion follows

Only conclusion III follows

All conclusions follow

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. No J is W. → False (As, there is no definite relation between J and W. Hence, false)

II. Some L are J. → True (As All J are L, also imply that some L are J)

III. Some J are C. → False (As, there is no definite relation between J and C. Hence, false)

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

If “ROTARY” is coded as “65” then how will “CONSCIENCE” be coded as?

100

180

167

87

Now adding all these numbers,

9 + 12 + 7 + 26 + 9 + 2 = 65

If we apply this same logic to CONSCIENCE,

By adding all these numbers,

24 + 12 + 13 + 8 + 24 + 18 + 22 + 13 + 24 + 22 = 180

Hence, 180 is the code for CONSCIENCE.

14 / 20

In a certain code language, 'FIXED' is written as 'XIFED' and 'MOUSE' is written as 'USOME'. How will 'GAMBIT' be written in that language? 

TGMIBA 

TMGIBA

TMIGBA 

TIMGAB 

Here, we use the table given below-

The logic followed here is-

• All the letters are rearranged according to their position values in descending order.

So,

• 'FIXED' is coded as :-

• 'MOUSE' is coded as :-

Similarly,

• 'GAMBIT' is coded as:-

Here, 'GAMBIT' is written as  TMIGBA.

Hence, the correct answer is "TMIGBA".

Eight people J, K, L, M, N, O, Q and P are living in a building having eight floors but not necessarily in the same order such as bottommost floor is numbered as 1 to the topmost floor numbered as 8. No one lives below Q. There is three floor gap between Q and K. M is living adjacent to K. O lives just below N who lives three floor below J. L lives below K. Then what is the position of P with respect to O?

Immediate above

Three floor below

Five floor above

Two floor below

Given :

• Eight people - J, K, L, M, N, O, Q and P are living in a building having eight floors.
• Bottommost floor is numbered as 1 to the topmost floor numbered as 8.

​Explanation :

​1) No one lives below Q.

2) There is three floor gap between Q and K.

3) M is living adjacent to K.

Floors	Person
	Case - 1	Case - 2
8
7
6		M
5	K	K
4	M
3
2
1	Q	Q

4) O lives just below N who lives three floor below J.

Floors	Person
	Case - 1	Case - 2
8
7		J
6	J	M
5	K	K
4	M	N
3	N	O
2	O
1	Q	Q

5) L lives below K.

As in case - (1) there is no possible position for L, therefore this case is eliminated.

After positioning L only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e P.

Floors	Person
	Case - 2
8	P
7	J
6	M
5	K
4	N
3	O
2	L
1	Q

Thus, according the final arrangement P is five floor above O.

Hence, "Five floor above" is the correct answer.

16 / 20

If ‘A % B’ means ‘A is the father of B’, ‘A # B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’, and ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’, then how is K related to R in the given expression?

Father

Paternal grandmother

Paternal aunt

Mother

Preparing the family tree using the following symbols:

According to the given information,

	A is
Symbol	%	#	$
Meaning	father	brother	wife
	Of B

The given expression is :

'K $ H % Y # M # R' → K is wife of H, H is father of Y, Y is brother of M, M is brother of R.

∴ Here, 'K' is mother of 'R'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Mother".

17 / 20

Read the question and answer from the given information:

Pravalika is studying 10^th class. Is Pravalika elder than Pranitha who is her classmate?

Argument 1: Yes, as she is her classmate Pranitha is younger to her.

Argument 2: No, as she is classmate Pranitha is elder to her.

Neither I nor II follow

Either I or II follow

Only II follow

Only I follow

As Pravalika is studying in 10^th class and Pranitha is her classmate, we cannot conclude that Pravalika is either elder or younger to her. It might be possible that Either of them is repeating the 10^th class or that either of them started school at an early age and now they are in the same class. There are three possibilities i.e.

1) Pravalika is younger to Pranitha.

2) Pravalika and Pranitha are of the same age.

3) Pranitha is younger to Pravalika.

Hence, “Neither I nor II follows” is the correct answer.
