Eight person A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, they have different designations as General manager, Deputy general manager, Assistant general manager, Manager, Assistant Manager, Section Officer, Cashier, and Clerk. The order of seniority is the same as given above i.e. General manager is the senior-most designation and clerk is the junior-most designation. F is junior to H. Only five-person have their designation between D and G. Section officer is senior to G. Only three person have their designation between A and F. B is immediately junior to H. More than two-person are senior to B. D is senior to C who is senior to E. F is senior to at least three designations. A is not a clerk.

How many designations are between H and E?

A
One

B
Two

C
Three

D
More than three

Solution

Person: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.

Designations: General manager, Deputy general manager, Assistant general manager, Manager, Assistant Manager, Section Officer, Cashier, and Clerk.

1) Section officer is senior to G. ( we have two designations junior to section officer i.e. Cashier and Clerk. so, G is either Cashier or Clerk)

According to this, we have two cases,

6) Only three persons are between A and F. ( From here case 1b and 1c get eliminated).

7) A is not a clerk and more than two-person are senior to B. ( From here case 1a gets eliminated)

8) D is a senior to C who is senior to E.

The final arrangement is:

So, Three designations are between H and E.
Question 2

Direction: In the given question, select the related numbers from the given alternatives.

8 : ? : : 5 : 24

A
34

B
28

C
33

D
24

Solution

In the right-hand analogy moves as:

5 × 3 + 9 = 24

Similarly,

8 × 3 + 9 = 33
Question 3

If A is to the south of B and C is to the east of B, in what direction is A with respect to C?

A
North-East

B
North-West

C
South-East

D
South-West

Solution

Clearly comparing the direction of A with respect to \({C}\) in the second diagram with that in the first diagram, A will be Soth-West of \({C}\).
Question 4

Directions For Questions

Direction: Two statements I and II are given. These statement may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the effect of the other statements.

I. The literacy rate in the district has been increasing for the last four years.

II. The district administration has conducted extensive training programme for the workers involved in the literacy drive.

A
Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect

B
Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect

C
Both the statements I and II are independent causes

D
Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes

Solution

According to the statements, the literacy rate in the district has been increasing for the last four years. And the district administration has conducted extensive training programme for the workers involved in the literacy drive. Clearly, the increase in the literacy rate may be attributed directly to the stringent efforts of the district administration in this direction. Thus, statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.

C
Both the statements I and II are independent causes

D
Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes

Solution

According to the statements, the school authority has asked the X Std. students to attend special classes to be conducted on Sundays. The parents of the X Std. students have withdrawn their wards from attending private tuitions conducted on Sundays. It seems quite evident that the parents have instructed their wards to abstain from private tuitions on Sundays and attend special classes organized by the school. Thus, statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.

Question 7
1 / -0.25

At \(8:30\), the hour hand and the minute hand of clock form an angle of:

A
\(80^{\circ}\)

B
\(75^{\circ}\)

C
\(70^{\circ}\)

D
\(60^{\circ}\)

Solution

In \(1\) hour, the hour hand makes the angle of \(30^{\circ}\).

Let, the hour hand make the angle of \(x\) in \(8:30\) hour or \(8 \frac{1}{2}\) hour.

\(\Rightarrow x=\left(30 \times 8 \frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ}\)

\(\Rightarrow x=\left(30 \times \frac{17}{2}\right)^{\circ}\)

\(\Rightarrow x=255^{\circ}\)

The minute hand makes the angle in \(1\) minute \(=6^{\circ}\)

Minute hand makes the angle in \(30\) minutes \(=(6 \times 30)^{\circ}\)

\(=180^{\circ}\)

Required angle \(=255^{\circ}-180^{\circ}\)

\(=75^{\circ}\)
Question 8

If CENTURION is coded 325791465 and RANK is coded 18510, then how is 78510 coded?

A
TAKE

B
BANK

C
TANK

D
SANK

Solution

Logic,

The letters of the words CENTURION and RANK are coded as-

So, by comparing the code with the respective letters, 78510 would be the code for-

7 → T

8 → A

5 → N

10 → K

Thus, 78510 is the code for TANK.
Question 9
1 / -0.25

What was the day on 17th June 1998?

A
Monday

B
Tuesday

C
Wednesday

D
Thursday

Solution

Given:

17th June 1998

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.

Number of odd days in 97 years (24 × 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.

Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June.

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days

168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.

Given day is Wednesday.
Question 10

Directions For Questions

Direction: Two statement referred to as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) respectively are provided. Select the most appropriate comment about the statements.

...view full instructions

Assertion (A): We feel warmer in black clothes on a sunny day.

Reason (R): Black is a better radiation absorber than other colours.

A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C
(A) is true but (R) is false.

D
(A) is false but (R) is true.

Solution

Assertion (A): We feel warmer in black clothes on a sunny day → True

It is true because Black is radiation absorber, So, we feel warmer in black cloth on a sunny day.

Reason (R): Black is a better radiation absorber than other colours → True

It is true because it explains the science of colour absorption.

So, "Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)" is the correct answer.
