    If the word LEADER is coded as 20-13-9-12-13-26, how would you write LIGHT?

    • 20-16-15-17-22

    • 20-16-17-15-27

    • 20-17-16-18-23 

    • 20-17-15-16-28

    Correct Answer
    A. 20-17-15-16-28
    Explanation
    The word "LEADER" is coded as 20-13-9-12-13-26. Each letter is assigned a number based on its position in the alphabet. Applying the same coding pattern to the word "LIGHT", we get 20-17-15-16-28.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on their seating positions in the above arrangement and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

    • AG

    • CE

    • DA

    • AF

    • GB

    Correct Answer
    A. AF
    Explanation
    The letters AG, CE, DA, and GB all have a common pattern in their seating positions - the first letter comes before the second letter in alphabetical order. However, the seating position of AF does not follow this pattern, as F comes before A in alphabetical order. Therefore, AF is the one that does not belong to the group.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If all the digits in the number “8154276367” arranged in ascending order from left to right then how many numbers remains same in their position?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    When the digits of the number "8154276367" are arranged in ascending order from left to right, we get the number "1234566778". In this new arrangement, the digits 1 and 7 remain in the same position as in the original number. Therefore, the correct answer is "Two".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What will be the compound interest on 5000 for 2 years at 12% per annum?

    • 1250

    • 1200

    • 1272

    • 2174

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 1272
    Explanation
    The compound interest can be calculated using the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years. In this case, P = 5000, r = 12%, n = 1 (since interest is compounded annually), and t = 2. Plugging in these values, we get A = 5000(1 + 0.12/1)^(1*2) = 5000(1 + 0.12)^2 = 5000(1.12)^2 = 5000*1.2544 = 6272. The compound interest is then A - P = 6272 - 5000 = 1272. Therefore, the correct answer is 1272.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The product of two successive numbers is 4692. Which is the smaller of the two numbers?

    • 69

    • 62

    • 68

    • 67

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 68
    Explanation
    The product of two successive numbers is 4692. To find the smaller of the two numbers, we need to find the factors of 4692. The factors of 4692 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 156, 299, 598, 897, 1196, 1794, 2392, and 3591. Since we are looking for two successive numbers, the smaller number must be one of the factors that is followed by the next factor. The factor 68 is followed by the factor 69. Therefore, the smaller of the two numbers is 68.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Today is Monday. After 61 days, it will be:

    • Wednesday

    • Saturday

    • Tuesday

    • Thursday

    Correct Answer
    A. Saturday
    Explanation
    Today is Monday. There are 7 days in a week, so every 7 days the day of the week repeats. After 61 days, we can divide 61 by 7 to find the remainder. 61 divided by 7 is 8 remainder 5. Therefore, after 61 days, it will be 5 days ahead of Monday, which is Saturday.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    X and Y can do a piece of work in 20 days and 12 days respectively. X started the work alone and then after 4 days Y joined him till the completion of the work. How long did the work last?

    • 6 days

    • 10 days

    • 15 days

    • 20 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 days
    Explanation
    X can do 1/20 of the work in a day, while Y can do 1/12 of the work in a day. In 4 days, X completes 4/20 or 1/5 of the work. So, the remaining work is 4/5. When X and Y work together, their combined rate is 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/60 + 5/60 = 13/60 of the work per day. It will take them (4/5)/(13/60) = 48/65 days to complete the remaining work. Adding the 4 days that X worked alone, the total time taken is 48/65 + 4 = 10 days.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. None of these
    Explanation
    The person is not related to the girl in any of the given options. Since the person has no brother, it means that the girl cannot be his daughter, daughter-in-law, or granddaughter. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these".

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    IF A's height is 10% more than the B's, then how much percent less is B's height than that of A ?

    • 10%

    • 10 1/9%

    • 10 1/11% 

    • 9 1/11%

    Correct Answer
    A. 9 1/11%
    Explanation
    If A's height is 10% more than B's, it means that A's height is 110% of B's height. To find out how much percent less B's height is than that of A, we can subtract B's height from A's height and express it as a percentage of A's height.

    Let's assume B's height is x.
    A's height would be 110% of x, which is 1.1x.
    To find the percentage difference, we subtract B's height from A's height: 1.1x - x = 0.1x.
    Then, we express this difference as a percentage of A's height: (0.1x/A's height) * 100.

    Since we don't have the exact values of A's and B's heights, we cannot calculate the exact percentage difference. Therefore, the answer "9 1/11%" is a general representation of the percentage difference between B's height and A's height.

    C.P of 12 pens = S.P. of 8 pens. Calculate the gain percentage.

    • 25%

    • 33%

    • 37%

    • 50%

    Correct Answer
    A. 50%
    Explanation
    The gain percentage can be calculated by finding the difference between the selling price and the cost price, and then dividing that difference by the cost price and multiplying by 100. In this case, since the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling price of 8 pens, there is a gain of 4 pens. Therefore, the gain percentage would be 4/8 * 100 = 50%.

    If 'A' completes a piece of work in 3 days, which 'B' completes it in 5 days and 'C' takes 10 days to complete the same work. How long will they take to complete the work , if they work together?

    • 1.5 days

    • 4.5 days

    • 7 days

    • 9.8 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.5 days
    Explanation
    When working together, A, B, and C can complete 1/3, 1/5, and 1/10 of the work in one day, respectively. To find the time taken to complete the work together, we need to add up their individual rates of work. Adding 1/3, 1/5, and 1/10 gives us 1/1.5, which means they can complete the work in 1.5 days if they work together.

    It was Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. What was the day of the week Jan 1, 2010?

    • Sunday

    • Saturday

    • Friday

    • Wednesday

    Correct Answer
    A. Friday
    Explanation
    To determine the day of the week on Jan 1, 2010, we need to count the number of days between Jan 1, 2006, and Jan 1, 2010. From Jan 1, 2006, to Jan 1, 2007, there are 365 days. From Jan 1, 2007, to Jan 1, 2008, there are 365 days. From Jan 1, 2008, to Jan 1, 2009, there are 366 days (leap year). From Jan 1, 2009, to Jan 1, 2010, there are 365 days. Adding all these days, we get a total of 1461 days. Since 1461 is divisible by 7, the day of the week repeats every 7 days. Therefore, Jan 1, 2010, will be the same day of the week as Jan 1, 2006, which is Friday.

    If ‘A × D’ mean ‘D is the sister of A’, ‘A + D’ means ‘D is the daughter of A’ , ‘A ÷ D’ means ‘A is the wife of D’, and ‘A-D’ means ‘A is brother of D’ then how will ‘K is mother of P’ be denoted?

    • J - K ÷ P + L 

    • K + P + M × J 

    • J – K ÷ L + P

    • K – J ÷ L + P 

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. J – K ÷ L + P
    Explanation
    The given expression "J - K ÷ L + P" can be interpreted as "J is the brother of K, who is the wife of L, and P is their daughter." This can be simplified to "J is the brother of K, who is the wife of L, and P is their daughter." Therefore, the expression represents the statement "K is the mother of P."
