Reasoning
1. GRJ. (Each letter shifted +3: C→F, A→D, T→W so D→G, O→R, G→J.)
2. CRRNG (Assuming each letter shifted +2: A→C, P→R, P→R, L→N, E→G). (Note: original
mapping you showed differs in position 2 — that question is ambiguous without the rule.)
3. VWZ (odd one out — not a consecutive triplet).
4. EV (pattern: first letters A,B,C,D,E… second letters Z,Y,X,W,V…).
5. ORUX (each letter −1: B→A, E→D, G→F, K→J; apply to P S V Y → O R U X).
6. 49. (square: 7² = 49)
7. 95. (pattern *2 + 1: 5→11→23→47→95)

9. Mother. (C is mother of A and A is brother of B ⇒ C is mother of B.)

8. Sister-in-law of C. (A is sister of B; B is husband of C → A is sister-in-law of C.)

10. They are cousins. (He is son of the speaker’s mother’s husband’s sister = son of paternal aunt ⇒
cousin.)
11. 5 m. (Net displacement 5 m north.)
12. 10 m west. (Net: south 20, right 10 (west), right 20 (north) → net west 10.)
13. KLOQE (assuming Caesar shift −3 applied to NORTH: N→K,O→L,R→O,T→Q,H→E).
(Ambiguous without explicit rule; I used −3.)
14. (Ambiguous) — one consistent completion is DLR depending on the hidden rule. (Need original
intended pattern to be certain.)
15. 463512. (Using mapping MONDAY→123456: D(4) Y(6) N(3) A(5) M(1) O(2) → DYNAMO = 4 6 3
5 1 2.)
 16. LM (odd one out — letter gap pattern differs; others have constant +3 gap).
17. V. (sequence differences +2, +3, +4, +5 → next +6: P(16)+6=22→V)
18. Sister-in-law. (R is sister of Q (father of K); M is mother of K → R is sister of M’s husband → R is
M’s sister-in-law.)
19. East. (Facing west, two right turns → east.)
20. Tree. (Fist : Hand :: Leaf : Tree.)

Clock, Arrangements, Venn, Syllogism, Sets)
1. Thursday. (15 Aug 2020 = Saturday ⇒ 15 Aug 2019 two weekdays earlier = Thursday.)
2. Saturday. (1 Jan 2000 = Saturday; 2000→2050 adds 18263 days ≡ 0 (mod 7) so same weekday.)
3. 7.5° (At 3:15 hour hand at 97.5°, minute hand at 90° → difference 7.5°.)

6:00 ⇒ t = 36/7 hours ≈ [Link].)

4. ≈ [Link] PM (real time). (Clock gains 10 min per real hour → indicated = 7/6 × real; solve (7/6)·t =

5. 6. (A was 4th from left; B is 5th from right → B’s position = 6th from left. If they swap, A goes to
position 6.)
6. A. (If C is immediate right of A, then A sits to the left of C — so the person to the left of C is A.)
7. 30 play only Cricket. (50 − 20 = 30.)
8. Neither conclusion follows. (From “All books are papers” and “Some papers are pens” you cannot
deduce “some books are pens”.)
9. Only “Some animals are dogs” follows. (From “Some dogs are animals”.)

11. Saturday. (2024 is leap; 2 Feb 2024 = Friday ⇒ 2 Feb 2025 = Saturday.)
10. 30. (Neither A nor B: 100 − (40 + 50 − 20) = 30.)

12. 45°. (Hour hand at 135°, minute hand at 180° → difference 45°.)
13. 3:00 PM (real time). (Clock loses 1 hour every 5 hours → indicated = 4/5 × real. If indicated = 12:00,

14. B (middle). (A left of B and C right of B ⇒ order A − B − C so B in middle.)

real = 15:00.)

15. 10 students study neither. (At least one = 60 + 70 − 40 = 90 ⇒ neither = 10.)

16. A Δ B = {1, 4}.

18. Niece. (A is daughter of B; B is child of C; D is child of C ⇒ B and D are siblings → A is niece of D.)
17. Thursday. (26 Jan 1950 was Thursday.)

20. Some pens are boxes — True. (Some pens are pencils and all pencils are boxes ⇒ those pens that are
19. D. (Using given left/right placements, D ends up at extreme right.)

pencils are boxes.)

Answers — Topic 3: Non-Verbal Reasoning

(figures, cubes, dice, series)
1. 30 squares. (Sum of squares 1²+2²+3²+4² = 30.)
2. 36 rectangles. (For a 3×3 grid number of rectangles = (3·4/2)² = 6² = 36.)
3. (Depends on the figure.) For a common 6-point star type the typical answer is 12 triangles. (If you
upload the exact figure I’ll count exactly.)
4. ●. (Sequence repeats ●▲; next is ●.)
 5. The rotated figure (odd one out).
6. Mirror image = horizontal reflection of the given figure (can show if you upload the figure).
7. Mirror of K is a K reversed (visual).
8. 8 small cubes have 3 painted faces. (Cubes with three painted faces = the corner cubes; in a 3×3×3
there are 8 corners.)
9. 12 small cubes have exactly 2 painted faces. (Edge cubes excluding corners: 12 edges in a 3×3×3,
each has one cube with 2 painted faces.)
10. 3 (If 1 opposite 6, 2 opposite 3, 4 opposite 5 — opposite of 2 is 3.)
11. (Depends on shape) — typical exam answer for a small complex figure is compute by counting;
upload figure for exact count.
12. ○ (pattern ■, ▲, ○ repeat → next ○)
13. (Depends on folded paper figure) — upload image and I’ll give the unfolded pattern.
14. Missing pattern is option X (depends on options).
15. (Depends on which faces are colored). If digits 0,1,2 used irregularly, need the cube net to count.
16. (Two-view dice problem) — identify common faces and deduce opposite face (needs the two views).
17. (Depends on drawing) — can count after seeing figure.
18. Resulting figure per rule — supply the images to solve exactly.
19. Odd one out = the asymmetrical figure.
20. Count of straight lines depends on the shown figure — give me the picture for exact counting.

(For visual/non-verbal problems I can give exact counts if you upload the images or clarify the intended
figure — many of the textbook problems need the picture.)

(Number system, HCF/LCM, simplification, roots)
1. HCF(48,180) = 12.

3. Number of factors of x = (4+1)(3+1) = 20 factors. (x = 2⁴·5³ → exponents 4 and 3 ⇒ (4+1)(3+1) =

20.)

5. 3/4 + 2/5 − 1/2 = common denom 20 ⇒ (15 + 8 − 10)/20 = 13/20.

4. (45% of 200) ÷ 0.5 = (0.45×200)÷0.5 = 90 ÷ 0.5 = 180.

6. √2025 = 45.
7. ∛1728 = 12.
8. 0.625 = 625/1000 = 5/8.
9. 7/8 = 0.875.

11. LCM of 6.5 and 4? (6.5 = 13/2, 4 = 4/1 ⇒ LCM = least common multiple of numerators divided by
10. HCF(27,63,81) = 9.

gcd denominators → LCM(13,4)/gcd(2,1) = 52/1 = 52? Better compute in integers:

LCM(13/2,4)=LCM(13,8)/2? This is ambiguous — convert to fractions: 6.5=13/2, 4=4/1. LCM as
numbers = least positive number divisible by both = 26. Answer: 26.)
12. 144 ÷ (12 × 2) = 144 ÷ 24 = 6.
13. 3² × 3³ ÷ 3⁴ = 3^(2+3−4) = 3¹ = 3.
14. 0.04 × 25 = 1. (since 25 × 0.04 = 1)
15. Number = 75 × 8 = 600. (If number ÷ 8 = 75 → number = 75×8 = 600.)
16. Number of primes between 1 and 50 = 15. (Primes: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47 = 15.)
17. √49 + √121 = 7 + 11 = 18.
18. 4 2/3 = (14/3). (Improper fraction 14/3.)
 19. 125% of 240 = 1.25 × 240 = 300.
20. (15/16) ÷ (5/8) = (15/16) × (8/5) = (15×8)/(16×5) = (120)/(80) = 3/2 = 1.5.

Answers — Topic 5: Numerical Aptitude (Average,

Ratio, Percentage, Profit/Loss, Surds, Logs, Ages)
1. Average of 12,18,22,28 = (12+18+22+28)/4 = 80/4 = 20.

3. Number = 240. (25% of number = 60 ⇒ number = 60×4 = 240.)

2. 45 minutes : 2 hours = 45 : 120 = 3 : 8.

4. SP = 800 × 1.20 = ₹960. (20% profit.)

5. √32 × √8 = √(32×8) = √256 = 16.
6. 5√3 + 2√3 = 7√3.

8. A = 30, B = 15. (A = 2B and A+B =45 ⇒ 2B+B=45 ⇒ B=15 ⇒ A=30.)

7. log₁₀(1000) = 3.

9. Average of first 10 natural numbers = (1+10)/2 = 5.5. (Or sum 55 /10 = 5.5.)
10. SP after 10% discount on ₹500 = ₹450. (500 − 50 = 450.)
11. 4:5 as percentage = 4/5 = 0.8 = 80%.
12. SP = 200 − 15% of 200 = 200 − 30 = ₹170. (15% loss means SP = 85% of CP; but question said sells

13. x = 3. (5^x = 125 = 5^3 ⇒ x=3.)

at 15% loss → SP = 85% of 200 = 170.)

15. Father = 45, son = 15. (Let son = x, father = x+30; in 5 yrs father = x+35 = 4(x+5) ⇒ x+35 = 4x+20
14. 1/√3 + 2/√12 = 1/√3 + 2/(2√3) = 1/√3 + 1/√3 = 2/√3 = (2√3)/3 after rationalizing.

⇒ 15 = 3x ⇒ x = 5? Wait re-calc carefully:)

Solve properly: father = S + 30. In 5 years: father+5 = 4 × (son+5) → (S+30)+5 = 4(S+5) → S+35 =
4S+20 → 35−20 = 3S → 15 = 3S → S = 5, father = 35. Hmm I gave earlier numbers incompatible.
Let's re-evaluate: Many exam versions differ. Using correct algebra: son = s, father = s+30. After 5
years: (s+30)+5 = 4(s+5) → s+35 = 4s+20 → 15 = 3s → s = 5, father = 35. So present ages: Father =
35, Son = 5. (I corrected to algebraically consistent solution.)
16. Percentage increase from 40 to 50 = ((50−40)/40)×100% = (10/40)×100% = 25%.
17. Profit% = (520−400)/400 ×100% = 120/400 ×100% = 30%.
18. 0.5 : 0.125 = (0.5/0.125) = 4 : 1 or ratio 4:1.
19. log₂(32) = 5.
20. √50 + √18 = 5√2 + 3√2 = 8√2.

Topic 1 — Introduction to Logical Reasoning —

Step-by-step
1. If CAT → FDW, then DOG → GRJ

o Apply +3 to D,O,G: D→G, O→R, G→J ⇒ GRJ.

o Map letters: C→F (+3), A→D (+3), T→W (+3).

2. TABLE → UBCMF, CHAIR = DIBJS

o Apply +1 to C,H,A,I,R → D,I,B,J,S ⇒ DIBJS.

o Check pattern: each letter +1: T→U, A→B, B→C, L→M, E→F.

3. Odd one out: RT, UW, YZ, AD → YZ

o YZ has +1 (different) ⇒ YZ.

o Check sequences: R→T (+2), U→W (+2), Y→Z (+1), A→D (+3).

4. AZ, BY, CX, DW, ? → EV

second = V ⇒ EV.
o Pattern: first letters A,B,C,D (+1); second letters Z,Y,X,W (decreasing). Next first = E, next

5. ROAD → SPBE, PATH = QBUI

o Each letter −1: R→Q? Wait check ROAD→SPBE: R→S (+1), O→P (+1), A→B (+1), D→E

o Apply +1 to P,A,T,H ⇒ Q,B,U,I ⇒ QBUI.

(+1) — so +1.

o Pattern: each term = previous×2 +1. 7×2+1=15; 15×2+1=31; 31×2+1=63; 63×2+1=127 ⇒ 127.
6. 7,15,31,63,? → 127

o Pattern: ×2 +1. 5→11 (×2+1), 11→23, 23→47, 47→95, 95→191 ⇒ 95.

7. 5,11,23,47,?,191 → 95

o A is sibling of B and B is parent of C ⇒ A is aunt of C.

8. A sister of B; B father of C → A is paternal/maternal aunt of C

o P is sibling of Q (male) and Q is mother ⇒ P is maternal uncle.

9. P brother of Q; Q mother of R → P is maternal uncle of R

10. A’s mother is B’s sister; C is B’s husband → A is niece of C (by marriage)
o A’s mother and B are sisters → B is aunt of A. B’s husband C is uncle by marriage.

o North 10 then south 10 cancel; remaining 5 west ⇒ distance from start = 5 m.

11. Walk 10 N, 5 W, 10 S: displacement = 5 W

o Start South → Right = West → Left = South → Left = East ⇒ East.

12. Facing south → right = west. Right then left then left:

13. FLOWER → GKPXFS if rule is +2,+1,+?

o (Ambiguous). If pattern given earlier assumed +2 to each letter: F→G(+1), L→K(−1) —
inconsistent. If you used +? the prior answer HBSEFO — inconsistent. For rigorous tests
define mapping. (If you want I’ll recalc with one clear rule.)

o All are consecutive pairs except FH (F→H is +2 gap) ⇒ FH.

14. Odd one out AB, CD, EF, FH → FH

15. MONDAY = 123456 → ANANYA = 535365

o ANANYA → A(5) N(3) A(5) N(3) Y(6) A(5) ⇒ 535365.

o Map letters from MONDAY: M=1, O=2, N=3, D=4, A=5, Y=6.

16. Sequence A, C, F, J, O, ? → U

→ letter 21 = U ⇒ U.
o Differences in positions: A(1)→C(3) +2; 3→6(+3); 6→10(+4); 10→15(+5). Next +6: 15→21

17. BDF, CFI, DHL, EJO, ? → FLR

 Third letters F→I→L→O (+3). Next: first = F, second = L (J+2= L), third = R (O+3 = R) ⇒
o Look at each block columns: First letters B→C→D→E (+1). Second letters D→F→H→J (+2).

FLR.

o B is child of A; C is sibling of B, spouse D ⇒ D married to A’s child ⇒ D is son-in-law.

18. A father of B; B brother of C; C wife of D → D is son-in-law of A

19. 5 km east, 5 km north, 5 km west → net = 5 km north

o East then west cancel; remaining 5 north.
20. Brother : Sister :: Son : Daughter
o Male ↔ female counterpart.

Topic 2 — Logical Reasoning (Calendar / Clock /

Arrangements / Venn / Syllogism / Sets) — Step-by-
step
o 2022→2023 is 1 year; 2022 not leap so +1 day ⇒ Monday+1 = Tuesday.
1. What day is 15 Aug 2023 if 15 Aug 2022 was Monday? → Tuesday

2. Day on 1 Jan 2050 → Saturday

o Use known anchor (1 Jan 2000 = Saturday). Count leap years and days between 2000–2050: 50

⇒ same day Saturday.

years include 12 leap years (2000 is leap) → days = 50×365 + 12 = 18262 → 18262 mod 7 = 0

3. Angle at 2:25
o Minute hand: 25×6 = 150°. Hour hand: (2×30) + (25×0.5) = 60 + 12.5 = 72.5°. Angle = 150 −
72.5 = 77.5°.
4. Clock loses 10 min every hour. When it shows 4:00 PM, real time?
o Shown time runs slower: in 60 shown minutes, real = 70 minutes. So scale factor real = 70/60 =
7/6. If clock shows 4:00 PM (i.e. from 12:00) real elapsed = (4 hours)×7/6 = 28/6 = 4h40m. If
starting at 12:00, real time = 12:00 + 4h40m = 4:40 PM. (If initial reference different adjust
accordingly.)

o A position = 4 from left ⇒ index 4. B position = 5 from right ⇒ index from left = 10−5+1 = 6.
5. 10 people row: A 4th from left, B 5th from right. How many between them?

Positions 4 and 6 → between them = 1 person.

6. Who sits immediate left of C if A right of C and B left of C? → B

7. 40 cricket, 30 football, 20 both ⇒ only cricket = 40−20 = 20.

o Left of C is B by statement.

8. Syllogism: All dogs are animals. Some animals are wild.

o From All dogs are animals and Some animals are wild, you cannot conclude anything definite

9. All pens are blue. All blue items are cheap ⇒ All pens are cheap.
about dogs & wild. So No definite conclusion.

o Transitive: pens ⊂ blue, blue ⊂ cheap ⇒ pens ⊂ cheap.

10. 80 students, 50 like Maths, 40 Science, 20 both ⇒ neither = 80 − (50+40−20) = 80 − 70 = 10.
11. Day on 26 Jan 2030

 Use day calculation or online table. Quick method: 26 Jan 2025 was Sunday; add 5 years incl 1 leap
(2028) etc. (If you want exact day for practice, give me a reference year; standard answer often
Sunday/ Saturday depending on calculation.) — (If you want I’ll compute exact.)

12. Angle at 9:40

  Minute = 240°, hour = 9×30 + 40×0.5 = 270 + 20 = 290°. Angle = 290 − 240 = 50°.

13. Clock gains 20 minutes each hour. When it shows 9 PM what is real time?

per real hour ⇒ when 60 real minutes pass, clock shows 80 minutes. So shown = (4/3)×real. If clock
 Shown runs faster: in 60 real minutes clock advances 60×(80/60)? Wait compute: Clock gains 20 min

shows 9:00 (i.e., 9 hours from start), real = shown × (3/4) = 9×0.75 = 6.75 hours = 6h45m after same
start. So if reference start at 12:00, real time = 6:45 PM. (Interpretation depends on starting point;
method shown.)

14. A left of B; B left of C ⇒ Order A, B, C → B in middle.

15. 100 students: 60 English, 70 Hindi, 40 both ⇒ only Hindi = 70−40 = 30.
16. A ∩ B for A={1,2,3,4}, B={3,4,5,6} ⇒ {3,4}.
17. A Δ B for A={1,2,3}, B={2,3,4} ⇒ symmetric difference = {1,4}.
18. No cats are dogs; Some dogs are pets ⇒ Nothing definite about cats and pets.

20. Venn: 100 total; 40 tea, 50 coffee, 20 both ⇒ neither = 100 − (40+50−20) = 30.
19. n(A∪B) = n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B) = 30+25−10 = 45.

Topic 3 — Non-Verbal Reasoning — Step-by-step

methods & typical answers
For picture-based Qs I give the standard method and the typical answer used in many textbooks. If you upload
the figures I’ll give exact counts.

o Count all squares: 1×1 squares = 16, 2×2 = 9, 3×3 = 4, 4×4 =1 ⇒ 16+9+4+1 = 30.
1. Squares in 4×4 grid = 30

2. Rectangles in 4×3 grid = 60

o Formula rectangles in m×n grid = m(m+1)n(n+1)/4. Here m=4, n=3: 4×5×3×4 /4 = (20×12)/4 =
240/4=60.
3. Triangles in 6-point star (typical) = 12
o Method: count small triangles, medium, large by partition. (Upload for exact.)
4. Pattern ● ▲ ● ▲ ● ? → ● (alternating)
5. Odd one out rotated figure — method: check rotation/reflection symmetry and identify the one with
different orientation.
6. Mirror image — method: reflect across vertical axis; draw corresponding mirror points.
7. Water image of K — method: reflection across horizontal axis (or vertical if specified).
8. Cubes with 3 painted faces in 3×3×3 = 8
o Corners only. 8 corners.
9. Cubes with exactly 2 painted faces = 12
o Edge-centre cubes excluding corners: count edges × (cubes per edge −2) = 12×1 =12.
10. Opposite face pairs on standard dice = 1–6, 2–5, 3–4 (textbook convention).

11–20. For questions requiring figures/nets/dice-views:

 Method: identify symmetry, use net rules for painted-face problems, use opposite-face relations for
dice puzzles, enumerate components for counts.
 If you upload the images I’ll give exact step-by-step counts.
Topic 4 — Quantitative Aptitude — Step-by-step
1. HCF(72,108) = 36
o Prime factorization: 72 = 2³×3²; 108 = 2²×3³. HCF = 2^min(3,2) × 3^min(2,3) = 2² × 3² = 4×9
= 36.
2. LCM(15,20,25) = 300

3. Number of factors of 360 = 24
o 360 = 2³ × 3² × 5¹. Number of divisors = (3+1)(2+1)(1+1) = 4×3×2 = 24.

o 35% of 400 = 0.35×400 = 140. Then 140 ÷ 0.5 = 280 ⇒ 280.

4. (35% of 400) ÷ 0.5 = ?

7. ∛4096 = 16

8. 0.375 = 375/1000 = 3/8 (divide both by 125) ⇒ 3/8.

9. 7/20 = 0.35
o 7 ÷ 20 = 0.35.
10. HCF(96,144,240) = 48
o Factorize: 96=2^5×3,144=2^4×3^2,240=2^4×3×5. HCF = 2^min(5,4,4) × 3^min(1,2,1) =
2^4×3^1 =16×3=48.
11. 144 ÷ (12×4) = 144 ÷ 48 = 3.
12. 2⁵ × 2³ ÷ 2⁴ = 2^(5+3−4) = 2^4 = 16.
13. 0.06 × 125 = 7.5

14. number ÷ 9 = 72 ⇒ number = 72×9 = 648.

o 125×6 = 750 → divide by 100 = 7.5.

15. Primes between 50 and 100 = 10

o They are 53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97 → count = 10.
16. √64 + √256 = 8 + 16 = 24.

o 3×4 + 3 = 12+3 = 15 ⇒ 15/4.

17. 3 ¾ = 15/4

18. 150% of 240 = 1.5 × 240 = 360.

19. (18/25) ÷ (6/5) = (18/25) × (5/6) = (18×5)/(25×6) = (90)/(150) = 3/5 = 0.6.
20. If divisible by both 12 and 18 → divisible by LCM(12,18) = 36.

Topic 5 — Numerical Aptitude — Step-by-step

1. Average of 22,26,30,34 = (22+26+30+34)/4 = 112/4 = 28.

20% of number = 80 ⇒ number = 80 ÷ 0.2 = 400.

2. Ratio 2 hours : 30 minutes = 120 minutes : 30 minutes = 4:1.

CP = 800, profit 25% ⇒ SP = CP × (1 + 25/100) = 800 × 1.25 = 1000.

3.
4.
5. √45 × √5 = √(45×5) = √225 = 15.
6. 4√2 + 3√8
o √8 = √(4×2) = 2√2. So 3√8 = 3×2√2 = 6√2. Sum = (4+6)√2 = 10√2.
7. log₁₀(1/100) = log₁₀(10^−2) = −2.

o Let B = x ⇒ A = x+5. x + (x+5) = 45 ⇒ 2x+5=45 ⇒ 2x=40 ⇒ x=20 ⇒ B=20, A=25.

8. A is 5 years older than B; A+B = 45

9. Average of first 20 natural numbers

10. Discount 15% on ₹600 ⇒ SP = 600 × 0.85 = ₹510.

o Average = (first + last)/2 = (1+20)/2 = 10.5.

12. Selling at 20% loss, CP=250 ⇒ SP = 250 × (1 − 0.20) = 250 × 0.80 = ₹200.
11. Ratio 7:9 → percentage form = 7/9 = 0.777... = 77.777...% ≈ 77.78%.

13. log₂(64) = log₂(2^6) = 6.

14. 3/√3 + 2/√12
o Simplify: 3/√3 = 3√3/3 = √3. √12 = 2√3 → 2/√12 = 2/(2√3) = 1/√3 = √3/3. Sum = √3 + √3/3 =
(3√3 + √3)/3 = 4√3/3.

o Let son = x ⇒ father = 4x. After 10 years: 4x+10 = 3(x+10) ⇒ 4x+10 = 3x+30 ⇒ x = 20 ⇒
15. Father is 4× son. In 10 years father will be 3× son.

son = 20, father = 80.

17. Profit% when CP=300, SP=375 ⇒ profit = 75 ⇒ profit% = (75/300)×100% = 25%.

16. Percentage decrease from 80 to 60 = (80−60)/80 ×100% = 20/80 ×100% = 25%.

18. Ratio 0.75 : 0.125 = (0.75/0.125) = 6 ⇒ 6:1.

19. log₉(81) = log₉(9^2) where 81 = 9^2 ⇒ log₉(9^2) = 2.

o Alternatively, multiply both by 8 → 6:1.

20. √72 + √18

o √72 = √(36×2) = 6√2. √18 = √(9×2) = 3√2. Sum = 9√2.
