General Intelligence and Reasoning = 12.313 - 384

= - 371.687
1. Answer: (B) - 371.687 ≠ 37
The logic followed here is: In option 'd':
First number × (First number ÷ 2) = Second number 12+ 48 ÷ 8 × 16 - 51 = 37
In '23: 264.5': 12 + 48 ÷ 8 × 16 - 51
23 × 11.5 = 264.5 = 12 + 6 × 16 - 51
204 = 204 = 12 + 96 - 51
Similarly, = 108 - 51
In '18: ?': = 57
18 × 9 = ? 57≠ 37
? = 162 6. Answer: (C)
So, '162' will come in the place of question mark. The logic followed here is:
2. Answer: (C) R A M
The pattern followed here is: +2 +4 +6
2nd number = 2 × (1st number - 1) T E S
3rd number = (1st number - 1)2 +2 +4 +6
In (19, 36, 324), V I Y
1st number = 19, 2nd number = 2 × (19 - 1) = 36, +2 +4 +6
3rd number = (19 - 1)2 = 324 X M E
In (32, 62, 961), +2 +4 +6
1st number = 32, 2nd number = 2 × (32 - 1) = 62, Z Q K
3rd number = (32 - 1)2 = 961 +2 +4 +6
In option 'a', (24, 48, 576): B U Q
1st number = 24, 2nd number = 2 × (24 - 1) = 46 ≠ 48,
So, 'ZQK' is the missing term in the given series.
3rd number = (24 - 1)2 = 529 ≠ 576
The complete series is:
In option 'b', (43, 84, 336):
RAM, TES, VIY, XME, ZQK, BUQ
1st number = 43, 2nd number = 2 × (43 - 1) = 84,
7. Answer: (B)
3rd number = (43 - 1)2 = 1764 ≠ 336
After decoding the code, we get:
In option 'd', (15, 32, 256):
'M + N' means M is the father of N.
1st number = 15, 2nd number = 2 × (15 - 1) = 28 ≠ 32,
'N × W' means N is the sister of W.
3rd number = (15 - 1)2 = 196 ≠ 256
'W × A' means W is the sister of A.
All combination of numbers doesn't follow this pattern
'A ÷ T' means A is the daughter of T.
except for
'T × E' means T is the sister of E.
In option 'c', (27, 52, 676):
'E - D' means E is the son of D.
1st number = 27, 2nd number = 2 × (27 - 1) = 52,
The family tree formed after decoding the code is:
3rd number = (27 - 1)2 = 676
3. Answer: (B)
Given equation: 123 - 43 ÷ 96 + 8 × 13
After interchanging the given two signs, we get:
123 - 43 + 96 ÷ 8 × 13
= 123 - 43 + 12 × 13
= 123 - 43 + 156
= 279 - 43
= 236
So, the value of the given equation is '236'.
4. Answer: (B)
a. UTS ➵ U – 1 = T, T – 1 = S
b. GHI ➵ G + 1 = H, H + 1 = I So, M is the son-in-law of D.
c. ONM ➵ O – 1 = N, N – 1 = M 8. Answer: (C)
d. WVU ➵ W – 1 = V, V – 1 = U Following figures can be formed:
5. Answer: (A)
Given: 12 # 48 # 8 # 16 # 51 = 37
Substituting the mathematical operator in place of *, we
have,
In option 'a':
12 × 48 ÷ 8 + 16 - 51 = 37
12 × 6 + 16 - 51
= 72 + 16 - 51
= 88 - 51
= 37
LHS = RHS Conclusions:
In option 'b': I. No Hole are Dump: Doesn't follow (As, there is no

ΔABC is an isosceles triangle [As two sides of the
triangle is same]
Since we know, Angle bisector of an angle of a triangle
divides the opposite side into two parts that are
proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.
Tina's destination is in the east direction with respect
to the starting point.
23. Answer: (B)
The pattern followed here is:
The 2nd letter in each row is the 5th succeeding letter of
the 1st letter of that row. The 3rd letter in each row is the
5th succeeding letter of the 2nd letter of that row as per
the English Alphabetical series.
For Row 1:
1st letter = K, 2nd letter = K + 5 = P, 3rd letter = P + 5
=U So, BD:DC = AB:AC = 15:15 = 1:1
For Row 2: So, BD = 18 × (1/2) = 9 cm
1st letter = X, 2nd letter = X + 5 = C, 3rd letter = C + 5 We also know that the perpendicular bisector of the
=H base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector
Similarly, of the vertex angle
For Row 3:
So, AD = √AB2 − BD2 = √152 − 92 = √225 − 81 =
1st letter = J, 2nd letter = J + 5 = O, 3rd letter = O + 5

Let the depth of the water in the tank be 'h' metres cos2 ⁡ A−sin2 ⁡ A
Or, = −p

ATQ:
Or, cot A - tan A = - p
28800 = 720 × h
So, tan A - cot A = p
Or, h = (28800/720) = 40
38. Answer: (B)
Required depth = 40 metres
Let the cost price of the article be ₹'100x'
31. Answer: (B)
ATQ:
30 - [20 - {56 - (50 - 13 - 12)}]
'100x' × 0.4 = 1,200
= 30 - [20 - {56 - (50 - 25)}]
Or, 40x = 1,200
= 30 - [20 - {56 - 25}]
Or, 'x' = (1200/40) = 30
= 30 - [20 - 31]
So, cost price of the article = 100x = 100 × 30 = ₹3,000
= 30 - [ - 11]
So, selling price of the article = 3,000 + 1,200 = ₹4,200
= 30 + 11
Required marked price of the article = 4200 ÷ 0.7 =

8x3 - 723 + 64y3 + 216xy = 8x3 - 729 + 6 + 64y3 + 216xy = 5486 + {5486 × (15/100) × 2.5} = 5486 × 1.375
Put the value of equation (i) in the above equation, we = ₹7,543.25
get, Now, simple interest received from scheme 'B'
8x3 - 723 + 64y3 + 216xy = 0 + 6 = 6 = {7543.25 × (6/100) × 2} = 7543.25 × 1.12 = ₹8,448.44
