1) Answer: C
2) Answer: D
3) Answer: A
4) Answer: C
Directions (5-6) :
5) Answer: C
Let’s check out all the options,
a) I # J $ K $ L * M
L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.
b) I / J $ K $ L * M
L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.
c) M @ I # J # L # N
L is not the daughter of M. Hence, it is true.
d) N / M # I $ L * J
L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.
e) M # I $ J $ L * K
L is the daughter of M. Hence, it is false.
Hence, M @ I # J # L # N is true if “L is not the daughter of M”.
6) Answer: B
Let’s check out all the options,
a) A / B @ G # C $ F
Here, the gender of F is not provided. Therefore, F can be either be the son/daughter of G.

From the figure, we can see that F is the son of G.
c) A / B / G # C * F
In the figure, F is the husband of G.
d) G # A @ B # F $ C
F is the grandson of G.
e) A @ G * B / F * C
F is the sister of G.
Directions (7-10) :
7) Answer: C
We have:
38425 ROAD, 46258 PART, 63724 FARE, 62837 LADE, 53924 SIDE
Word preceded by even number = PART, FARE, SIDE.
After adding ‘L’ at 2nd place from left we have:
PLART, FLARE, SLIDE
Thus, only two meaningful word can be formed = FLARE & SLIDE.
Word preceded by an odd number = ROAD & LADE
After adding ‘B’ at 1st position from left we have:
BROAD & BLADE
Thus, only two meaningful word can be formed = BROAD & BLADE.
Hence, option C is correct choice.
8) Answer: B
We have:
38425, 46258, 63724, 62837, 53924
After rearranging digits within 5-digit numbers we have:
23458, 24568, 23467, 23678, 23459
Clearly, “23467” is third lowest number which belongs to “63724”.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
9) Answer: E
We have:
ROAD, PART, FARE, LADE, SIDE
After rearranging letters of words in alphabetical order we get:
ADOR, APRT, AEFR, ADER, DEIS
After rearranging words in dictionary we get:
ADER, ADOR, AEFR, APRT, DEIS
3rd letter of second word from right end “APRT” à R
3rd letter of second word from left end “ADOR” à O
Thus, number of letters between ‘O’ & ‘R’ à 2
Hence, option E is correct choice.
10) Answer: E
We have:
ROAD, PART, FARE, LADE, SIDE
After interchanging letters of the word, we get:
QPBC, OBQS, EBQF, KBCF, RJCF
Thus, no such word are possible.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
