A + 3 = D + 3 = G + 3 = J Apostate- A person who renounces X – 3 = U – 3 = R – 3 = O religions. Thus, missing term = JO. 166. Ans. C. 174. Ans. B. Misologist: Hater of Knowledge and As a mare is a female adult horse leaning. similarly a sow is a female adult boar. 167. Ans. B. 175. Ans. B. The occurrence of the same letter or 9:72:8:? sound at the beginning of adjacent closely 64 connected words. 9×8=72 168. Ans. B. 8×7=64 If we observe this is a simple 176. Ans. B. rearrangement of words in which the first The code for MILITARY is given as term of the original is replaced by the first 12324567. It’s the number pattern term of the replaced word. For example, between 1 to 7, straightforward usage of A of “ABANDON” becomes “a” of numbers for the word MILITARY only 2 'aramoim' and D of “ABANDON” becomes interprets because of the multiple usage “o” of 'aramoim'. By this logic, original of letter 'I'. Therefore, for the Word TAIL word of 'bituo' will be “SOLID”. can be taken from MILITARY for TA we 169. Ans. B. can take 45 and for IL we can take 23. Clearly, 11 times, the hands of a clock are So, for TAIL we can code as 4523. at right angles from 4 pm to 10 pm. 177. Ans. A. 170. Ans. B. The shop owner had 12 dozen and gave The grand-mother of my younger brother out 10 chocolates. A dozen equates 12 meanswer Ravi’s grand-mother and the chocolate. So, 12 dozens =144, when 10 only son meanswer Ravi’s father. Wife of is subtracted it becomes 134. The shop Ravi’s father is Ravi’s mother and hence owner added 24 (2 more dozen) which her son is the brother of Ravi. makes the number 158 and he divided it 171. Ans. A. into 2 equal parts. 158/2 =79. South east 178. Ans. B. 40% workers are females. This is equal to 800. So, 60% will be equal to (800 x 60)/40 = 1200. 179. Ans. B. Now, finding odd days March (4 days left) = 4 odd days; April (full month) = 2 odd days, May (full month) = 3 odd days; June (till 27) = 6 odd days Now, total odd days = 4 + 2 + 3 + 6 =

Married men = of = ⇒ = Given A left after 3 days & B & C Men, who have children = of = × completed the remaining work. Let x be the number of days taken by B & C to = finish the remaining work. So, part of workers without children = 1 - part of workers with children = 1 – ( 3( ) + x ( ) = 1 + = 1 – = 182. Ans. B. X + Y + Z = 75 × 3 = 225 kg 3( ) + x ( ) = 1 After A joins the group, ⇒ 4x = 19 X + Y + Z + A = 75 × 3 = 80 × 4 = 320 kg ⇒ A = (X + Y + Z + A) – (X + Y + Z) = ⇒ x = = 4 days 320 – 225 = 95 kg 184. Ans. C. ⇒ B = A + 5 = 95 + 5 = 100 kg Given, train A takes 1.5 hours (4:30 pm - Y + Z + A + B = 85 × 4 = 340 kg 3:00 pm) to go from A to B and train B Y + Z = 340 – (95 + 100) = 145 kg takes 1 hour (4:00 pm - 3:00 pm) to go X = 225 – (Y – Z) (Given above, X + Y + from B to A Z = 225) So, let distance AB = 3 km, then ⇒ X = 225 – 145 = 80 kgs Speed of train from A is 2 km/hr and that 183. Ans. B. of B is 3 km/hr Let the number of days A, B & C take to Now time taken by trains to meet each complete the work individually be a, b & c. other will be = 0.6 hours = 0.6 x 60 Given, A and B complete the work in 12 minutes = 36 minutes Hence, the required time = 3:00 pm + 36 minutes = 3:36 pm. days, + = 185. Ans. C. Given, B and C complete the work in 8 Let the required fraction be x, then Final fraction of milk = initial fraction of milk × (1 – fraction of mixture taken out)n days, + = Where ‘n’ is the number of times process Given, C and A complete the work in 16 is done

Thus, = × (1 – x)1 days, = Adding all the 3 equations, ⇒ 1 – x =
