a. 120
b. 60
c. 240
d. 44

First, we will write the alphabetical order of the given alphabet
C |
B |
E |
L |
A |
G |
U |
3 |
2 |
5 |
12 |
1 |
7 |
21 |
Now multiplying it with 2 we get
C = 3 × 2 = 6 ⇒ 6
BE = (2 + 5) × 2 = 14 ⇒ 14
L = 12 × 2 = 24 ⇒ 24
BAG = (2 + 1 + 7) x 2 = 10 x 2 ⇒ 20
So, LUGGAGE = x ⇒ (12 + 21 + 7 + 7 + 1 + 7 + 5) × 2
⇒ x = 120
Question 25. In a code language :

a. 70
b. 50
c. 60
d. 80
Answer: (a)

x + y = 120 …(1)
3x – y = 80 …(2)
On adding (1) and (2),
4x = 200
⇒ x = 50
Putting value of x in eq. (1),
y = 70
So, the student attempted 70 questions incorrectly.

a. 48
b. 68
c. 7 ⅖
d. 7
Answer: (c)
= 8 + 7 × 8 ÷ 40 – 2
= 8 + 56 ÷ 40 – 2
= 8 + 56/40 – 2 = 6 – 56/40 = 6 + 7/5
= 37/5= 7 ⅖
Question 42. If ‘–’ means ‘÷’, ‘+’ means ‘×’, ‘÷’ means ‘–’ and ‘×’ means ‘+’ then which of the following is correct?
a. 52 ÷ 4 + 5 × 8 – 2 = 36

c. 36 × 4 – 12 + 5 ÷ 3 = 420
d. 36 – 12 × 6 ÷ 3 + 4 = 60
Answer: (a)
– → ÷
+ → ×
÷ → –
× → +
Solving Option (a) we get
52 – 4 × 5 + 8 ÷ 2
= 52 – 20 + 4
= 36 (correct)

Question 48. The angle between the hour hand and minute hand when the time is 6 hours 45 minutes, is:
a. 60°
b. 62.5°
c. 65°
d. 67.5°
Answer: (d)
Angle moved by hour hand in every minutes = 360/12 × 60 = 0.5°
Angle moved by hour hand in every minutes = 360/60 = 6°
Starting from 6 o’clock, in 45 minute hour hand will travel 45 x 0.5° = 22.5°
Starting from 6 o’clock, in 45 minute hand will travel 45 x 6° = 270°
Angle between them 270° – 22.5° = 247.5°
But they already had angle of 180° between them at 6 o’clock
So, the angle between them now is 247.5° – 180° = 67.5°

Here, 30 ,60,90,120,150,180 are divisible by 30 – 6
= 20 – 6
= 14
Total which are divisible by 10 but not divisible by 30, is 14
Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Question 80. Father tells his son “I was your present age when you were born”. If the father’s age is 48 now, how old was the boy 6 years back ?
a. 16
b. 17
c. 18
d. 19
Answer: (c)
Let the age of father be x (when his son was born)
At present, his son’s age = x
If father goes ‘x’ years back then he is at his son’s age
⇒ father x = 48 – x
⇒ x = 24
Boys present age = 24
Boy’s age 6 years before = 24 – 6 = 18 years
