Question 21 to 23 Directions: A wooden block of 4 X 4 dimensions is taken. All faces of the block are painted from outside. As shown in the figure it is cut into smaller cubes. Answer the questions by studying the adjoining figure.
Question 21. How many cubes are there having at least one face painted?
a. 64
b. 52
c. 48
d. 24
Answer: (b)
Total number of small cubes = 64 – 4 = 60
Total number of small cubes with no side painted = 8
Small cubes with at least one side painted = Total number of cubes – cubes with no colour
Small cubes with at least one side painted = 60 – 8 = 52
Question 22. If the base layer of the block would be the same as the top layer then how many cubes will be in the block?
a. 56
b. 52
c. 60
d. 62
Answer: (a)
Total number of small cubes in a 4 x 4 matrix of cubes = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
Number of small cubes removed from top layer = 4
Number of small cubes removed from bottom layer = 4
So the remaining number of small cubes in the block = 64 – 2(4) = 56
Question 23. If the base layer and top layer of a block are the same then at the most how many faces of the cube will be painted?
a. 3
b. 2
c. 1
d. 0
Answer: (a)
The cubes on the edges will have 3 faces coloured. This is the most number of faces that the block will have painted.
Note: In the directions, the sequence of cutting the block into small cubes and painting is not specifically mentioned.

Question 47 and 48 Directions: In a row, Pradyuman is twelfth from the front and Sarvesh is Twenty-fifth from behind. Rahul is exactly at the centre place between Pradyuman and Sarvesh There are 70 persons in the row then.
Question 47. Rahul is standing at which place from the front?
a. 29
b. 33
c. 17
d. 42
Answer: (a)

Answer: (d)
BM = 2 x 13 = 26
EN = 5 x 14 = 70
HO = 8 x 15 = 120
KP = 11 x 16 = 176
NQ = 14 x 17 = 238
Question 52. T23C, QG24, 26NL, KP27, __?
a. 29GV
b. 29HU
c. 27GT
d. 28HT
Answer: (b)
Checking the relation between the letters of the terms in the Series:
T – 3 = Q; C + 4 = G
Q – 3 = N; G + 5 = L
N – 3 = K; L + 4 = P
K – 3 = H; P + 5 = U
So, We get TC, QG, NL, KP, HU.
Hence the next term in the series is 29HU.
Note: The number in each term is the sum of the serial numbers of the letters.

Question 68. Ten years before the ratio of ages of Ram and Shyam was 1 : 7, ten years after the ratio of their ages is 1 : 3. Find the present age of Ram.
a. 10 years
b. 20 years
c. 30 years
d. 70 years
Answer: (b)
Let the present age of Ram and Shyam be r and s, respectively.
The conditions given to us are:
(r-10)/(s-10) = 1/7
(r+10)/(s+10) = 1/3
The equations we get after simplification are:
Equation 1: 7r – s = 60
Equation 2: 3r – s = -20
Solving the two equations you will get r = 20.
Question 69. From the above information what will be the age of Shyam after 10 years?
a. 70 years
b. 80 years
c. 90 years
d. 30 years
Answer: (c)
Since the present age of Ram (r) = 20, using the two equations, the value of the present age of Shyam (s) = 80. As the question is asking for s+10, therefore our answer will be (80+10) = 90 years.

Answer: (c)
Since, @ x ☆ = 45 and P x ☆ = 40, the symbol (☆) has to be 5. Using this value all the other equations can be solved.
Question 85. In a certain code language if ‖ means 4, |||||| means 12, @ means x, ⊙ means ÷, # means + and $ means – are used then find |||| @ |||||| $ |||| ⊙ || # |||||| = ?
a. 104
b. 106
c. 102
d. 30
Answer: (b)
If II means 4, then IIII means 8.
Then,
|||| @ |||||| $ |||| ⊙ || # |||||| = 8 x 12 – 8 ÷ 4 + 12 = 106
Question 86 to 88 Directions: In the following questions a specific group of numbers are given. From the given alternatives, find out the right number which matches the given group.
Question 86. 416, 749, 525,
a. 982
b. 864
c. 637
d. 319
Answer: (b)
416 = 4(42)
749 = 7(72)
525 = 5(52)
Similarly for option b, 864 = 8(82).
Question 87. 294, 648, 448,
a. 84
b. 94
c. 100
d. 194
Answer: (c)
294 = 73 – 72
648= 93-92
448 = 83 – 82
Similarly,
100 = 53 – 52
Question 88. 3 â…“, 3.2, 3.25, 3 â…”,
a. 3.5
b. 5
c. 4.2
d. 13/3
Answer: (b)
On simplifying, we get 10/3, 16/5, 13/4 and 11/3.
10/3 is also equal to 20/6.
We have, Numerator:
Denominator = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
So, the answer is 10/2 = 5.
Question 89 and 90 Directions: In the given questions a complex figure is given. Find out which of the simple figures given in the alternatives is hidden in the complex figure.
Question 89. Question figure
Answer figure
Answer: (b)
By observing we can see that figure b is part of the question figure.
Question 90. Question figure
Answer figure
Answer: (a)
By observing we can see that the figure (a) is part of the question figure.
Question 91. In the following question letters and numbers are written with a specific rule in horizontal rows. Find the rule and decide which will be in place of the question mark.
a. 30, 41
b. 30, 32
c. 34, 36
d. 35, 35
Answer: (c)
Solution: Let A = 1, B = 2, and so on. Then
L + R + 4 = 12 + 18 + 4 = 34
M + S + 4 = 13 + 19 + 4 = 36
Question 92. Write the correct alternative to replace the question mark.
a. C
b. B
c. Z
d. A
Answer: (b)
Sum of the opposite:
F + R = 6 + 18 = 24
V + H = 22 + 8 = 30
L + X = 12+ 24 = 36
N + ? = 14 + ? = 42
? = 28
Now, 28 is more than 26, so 28 – 26 = 2. Therefore it is B.
Question 93 and 94 Directions: In the following table the digits are assigned with certain symbols. Observe them carefully and choose the correct alternative to answer the questions.
Question 93. How will you write the number 635104?

Question 95 and 96: Directions: In the following questions word letters are given in column I and are coded in column II. But they are not arranged to the order of word letters in column I. Find the code language and choose the correct alternative to answer the questions.
Code for each letter is obtained by comparing common letters in the words and common numbers in the corresponding codes:
Comparing TEAR and PURN : R = 6
Comparing PURN and NET: N = 5
Comparing TALK and NET: T = 2
Comparing TEAR and BET: E = 3
Comparing TEAR and TALK: A = 8
P and U could be 1 or 4.
L and K could be 7 or 9.
Question 95. What is the code for the word PREAK?
a. 13689
b. 16389
c. 16839
d. 16489
Answer: (b)
From the codes derived:
Since REA is 638, PREAK = 16389
Question 96. 542687 code is for which word?
a. NATURE
b. NATEUR
c. NUTRAL
d. NURTAL
Answer: (c)
From the codes derived:
Since 268 is TRA, 542687 = NUTRAL
Question 97. Observe the following code language and choose the correct alternative to answer the questions.
What is the code for the word ZODIAC?
a. 034159
b. 034519
