1. Three of the following four wads are 
alike in a certain way and one is different. 
Pick the odd word out. 
A. Courtesy 
B. Hindrance 
C. Indulgence 
D. Benevolence 
Ans. B 
Sol. 
Courtesy, Indulgence and Benevolence 
have the same meaning which is being 
kind or helpful. 
But hindrance means an obstacle which 
is different in compare to them. 
So the odd one out option is (b) 
 
2. If FLOWER is coded as 14 and 
DISTASTE is coded as 18, then how will 
BUREAUCRAT be coded as? 
A. 20 
B. 22 
C. 28 
D. 18 
Ans. B 
Sol. 
The code for FLOWER – 14 and DISTASTE 
– 18 
The pattern of code is (total no. of letters 
+ 1) × 2 
i.e. flower = (6(total letters)+1) ×2 =14 
So, the code for BUREAUCRAT = (10 +1) 
×2 =11 × 2 =22 
 
3. Select the option in which the given 
figure is embedded. 
 
Rotation not allowed 
A.  
B.  
C.  
D.  
Ans. A 
Sol. 
 
We can clearly see that the above figure 
is embedded only in option (a). which is 
mentioned below- 
 
Hence, option (a) is the right answer. 
 
4. How many triangles are there in the 
following figure? 
 
A. 18 
B. 14 
C. 12 
D. 16 
Ans. D 
Sol. 
 
In the above figure, the triangles formed 
are -> ACG, CGE, GEA, EAC, ACI, CGI, 
GEI, AEI, ABI, 
BCI, CHI, GHI, GFI, EFI, DEI, ADI. 
Thus, the total number of triangles is 16. 
 
5. Select the word-pair in which the two 
words are related in the same way as are 
the two words in the following word-pair. 
Frown : Displeasure 
A. Smile : Ecstasy

Th at ’ s why, the correct ans. (a) 
 
6. Three of the following four word pairs 
are alike in a certain way and one is 
different. Pick the odd word out. 
A. Bangladesh: Taka 
B. Malaysia : Ringgit 
C. South Korean: Rupiya 
D. Russia : Ruble 
Ans. C 
Sol. 
A. Bangladesh: Taka 
B. Malaysia: Ringgit 
C. South Korean: Rupiya 
D. Russia: Ruble 
In the above options, we can see that 
they are the pair of country: its 
currency 
And so we know that the currency of 
South Korea is seoul. 
Hence, option (c) is odd one. 
 
7. Select the figure that will come next in 
the following figure series. 
 
A.  
B.  
C.  
D.  
Ans. A 
Sol. 
 
X is rotating in clockwise direction in 
each step in a following given manner- 
In 1
st
 step, it is just placed immediate 
left of the original position 
In 2
nd
 step, there is a gap of one triangle 
and at last there is a gap of two. 
The same sequence followed by O but in 
anti-clockwise direction. 
Therefore, the next figure that will come 
in the series is- 
 
Hence, the correct figure is option (a) 
 
8. Three of the following four numbers 
are alike in a certain way and one is 
different. Pick the number that is different 
from the rest. 
A. 789 
B. 123 
C. 567 
D. 457 
Ans. D 
Sol. 
789, 123, and 567 –> they all are 
divisible by 3. 
But 457 is not divisible by 3 
So the option (d) is different. 
 
9. Select the option that is related to the 
third term in the same way as the second 
term is related to the first term. 
29 : 13 : : 37 : ? 
A. 17 
B. 14 
C. 15 
D. 21 
Ans. A 
Sol. 
29: 13:: 37:? 
13 × 2 =26 + 3 =29 
17 × 2 =34 + 3 = 37 
Hence, the correct answer is option (a). 
 
10. What will be the value of the following 
equation if ‘ ÷’ means ‘ ad d i t i o n ’ , ‘ +’
