Q31
🔢 MathArithmetic Puzzles
A stairway 10 ft. high is such that each step accounts for half a foot upward and one foot forward. What distance will an ant travel if it starts from ground level to reach the top of the stairway?
💡Correct Answer: Option D (29 ft)
The total vertical steps = 10 / 0.5 = 20 steps. The ant climbs 20 risers (20 * 0.5 = 10 ft). However, it only moves forward for 19 steps because once it climbs the 20th riser, it is already at the top platform and does not need to walk forward. Total distance = 10 ft (vertical) + 19 ft (horizontal) = 29 ft.
Q32
🧩 ReasoningMathematical Operations
Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 171÷3−16+72×4−12=572
💡Correct Answer: Option A (x and -)
Note: The transcribed equation had a typo '412' which is corrected to '4 - 12'. Interchange 'x' and '-': 171 / 3 16 + 72 - 4 - 12 = 572 => 57 16 + 72 - 16 = 912 + 72 - 16 = 968 - 16 = 968 - 396? Wait, if 412 is kept: 171 / 3 16 + 72 - 412 = 572 => 57 16 + 72 - 412 = 912 + 72 - 412 = 572. The equation is correct. Hence we interchange 'x' and '-'.
Q33
🧩 ReasoningNumber Series
Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? 11, 36, ?, 121, 185, 266
💡Correct Answer: Option B (72)
The differences between successive terms are consecutive perfect squares starting from 5: 36 - 11 = 25 (5^2); ? - 36 = 36 (6^2) => ? = 72; 121 - 72 = 49 (7^2); 185 - 121 = 64 (8^2); 266 - 185 = 81 (9^2). The missing term is 72.
Q34
🧩 ReasoningCoding-Decoding
In a certain code language, 'FARM' is coded as HDTP and 'EGGS' is coded as GJIV. How will 'FOOD' be coded in the same language?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (HRQG)
The coding pattern is an alternating shift of +2 and +3 for letters: F(+2)->H, A(+3)->D, R(+2)->T, M(+3)->P. Applying this to FOOD: F(+2)->H, O(+3)->R, O(+2)->Q, D(+3)->G. So, FOOD is coded as HRQG.

Find the angle between the Hour hand and the Minute hand when the time is quarter past three (3:15 PM).
💡Correct Answer: Option A (7.5°)
At 3:15, the minute hand is exactly at the 3 mark. The hour hand has moved forward for 15 minutes. Speed of hour hand = 0.5 degrees per minute. Angle moved = 15 * 0.5° = 7.5°. Thus, the angle between the hands is 7.5°.

Statement: In today's world, no country is fully self-sufficient.
Conclusions: I. A country cannot grow and produce everything it requires on its own. II. Countrymen in general have become lazy.
Choose the correct Answer:
💡Correct Answer: Option C (Only conclusion I follows)
Conclusion I directly restates the economic reality of the statement that no country possesses all natural resources and capacity to produce 100% of its needs. Conclusion II makes an unjustified, subjective generalization not supported by the premise. Hence, only Conclusion I follows.
The logic problem presents three true statements: Fact 1, Fact 2, and Fact 3. Then, three more statements (labelled I, II, and III) are given. Determine which of these, if any, is also a fact based solely on the information given in the first three facts.
Fact 1: Jasmeen has four children.
Fact 2: Two of the children have blue eyes, and two have brown eyes. Fact 3: Half of the children are girls.
Given that the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be true?
I: At least one girl has blue eyes. II: Two of the children are boys.
III: The boys have brown eyes.
Choose the correct option:
💡Correct Answer: Option C (II only)
From Fact 1 (4 children) and Fact 3 (half are girls = 2 girls), it is a mathematical certainty that the remaining 2 children are boys. Therefore, Statement II must be true. Statements I and III are possibilities but cannot be proven definitively. Hence, II only is a known fact.

Five friends - A, B, C, D, and E - were born on different days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The following clues help determine their birth-days: I. A was born before B but after C II. D was born on Thursday. III. E was not born on Wednesday.
On which day was B born?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (Friday)
Given days: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri. - D = Thursday. - A was born before B but after C → Order must be C ... A ... B. - E was not born on Wednesday. To place C, A, and B in order around D (Thursday), B must be on Friday, A on Wednesday, and C on Monday. This leaves Tuesday for E (which satisfies that E is not Wednesday). Therefore, B was born on Friday.
If roll numbers are generated in the format 2024XX0001, where "2024" represents the year, "XX" is the centre code, and "0001" is the candidate number, what does roll number 2024DL0020 indicate?
💡Correct Answer: Option A (It is the roll number for the 20th candidate from a centre in Delhi in 2024.)
Decoding 2024DL0020 according to the rule: - 2024 = Year - DL = Centre code (Delhi) - 0020 = 20th candidate at that centre in 2024.
In a given pattern, the relationship between the first and second letters is as follows: D→c,G→f,J→i,M→? What is the missing letter?

Q314
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningDirection Sense Test
You are standing facing east. You turn 90° clockwise, then 180° counterclockwise, and finally 90° clockwise. What direction are you facing now?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (East)
Start facing East (90∘). 1. Turn 90∘ Clockwise → South (180∘). 2. Turn 180∘ Counterclockwise → North (0∘). 3. Turn 90∘ Clockwise → East (90∘). You are facing East.
Q315
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningDirection Sense Test
A person walks 25 meters north, then 12 meters east, and finally 9 meters south. What is the shortest distance to return to the starting point?
💡Correct Answer: Option D (20 meters, south-east)
Net displacement coordinates from origin (0,0): - North-South: 25−9=16 m North - East-West: 12 m East Shortest distance d=162+122=256+144=400=20 meters. To return to origin, one must travel South-West (20 meters).
Find out from amongst the four alternatives as to which one completes the given pattern:
💡Correct Answer: Option D (4)
Looking at the symmetry and intersecting line reflections across all four quadrants, figure 4 provides the exact line continuity required to complete the bottom-right quadrant.
Find out from amongst the four alternatives as to which one completes the given shape pattern:
💡Correct Answer: Option C (3)

Q318
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningVenn Diagrams
Which Venn diagram represents "Birds (P), Eagles (Q), Bats (R)"?
💡Correct Answer: Option D (D)
All Eagles (Q) are Birds (P), so circle Q is entirely enclosed within circle P. Bats (R) are mammals, not birds, so circle R is completely separate (disjoint). This is accurately depicted in Diagram D.
Science Fiction and Mystery represent genres within the overarching set of Books. As shown in Diagram B, both subsets are contained within the universal set of books.
Q320
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningNumber Series
Find the next number in the series: 3, 9, 27, 81, ?
💡Correct Answer: Option A (243)
Geometric progression with common ratio r=3: - 3×3=9 - 9×3=27 - 27×3=81 - 81×3=243.
Q321
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningNumber Series
What comes next in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
💡Correct Answer: Option D (42)
Pattern: n(n+1) or differences increasing by +2: - 2(+4)=6 - 6(+6)=12 - 12(+8)=20 - 20(+10)=30 - 30(+12)=42. Next number is 42.
Q322
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningCoding and Decoding
If "EARTH" is coded as "FZSSI," how is "WORLD" coded?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (XNSKE)
Pattern: Alternating +1, -1, +1, -1, +1: - E (+1) = F - A (-1) = Z - R (+1) = S - T (-1) = S - H (+1) = I Applying to WORLD: - W (+1) = X - O (-1) = N - R (+1) = S - L (-1) = K - D (+1) = E Hence, WORLD is coded as XNSKE.
Q323
Mental Ability & Logical ReasoningCoding and Decoding
If "LION" is coded as "MKRR," how is "TIGER" coded?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (UKJIW)
Pattern: Progressive addition +1, +2, +3, +4, +5: - L (+1) = M - I (+2) = K - O (+3) = R - N (+4) = R Applying to TIGER: - T (+1) = U - I (+2) = K - G (+3) = J - E (+4) = I - R (+5) = W Hence, TIGER is coded as UKJIW.
Q324
DC Machines (Generators & Motors)Universal Motor & Series Motor on AC
Which type of DC motor can operate on a single-phase AC supply and why?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (DC series motor because the torque is always positive)
A DC Series Motor (Universal Motor) can operate on AC because when current alternates, the armature current Ia and field flux Φ reverse simultaneously, keeping the developed electromagnetic torque (T∝ΦIa) unidirectional in the same direction.
Q325
Radiotherapy Physics & Radiation OncologyRadium Decay Series
226Ra decays to 222Rn by _____ decay
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Alpha)
Radium-226 decays into Radon-222 via Alpha emission: 88226Ra⟶86222Rn+24α.
