Expla­na­tion: Dili­gent means hard­work­ing, care­ful and per­sis­tent in one’s work.

2. Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to “Expand”.

Expla­na­tion: Con­tract means to become small­er or reduce in size, mak­ing it the antonym of expand.

3. Fill in the blank: The manager asked the employees to _____ the instructions carefully.

Expla­na­tion: After “asked … to”, the base form of the verb is used: “to follow”.

4. Choose the correctly spelt word.

Expla­na­tion: The cor­rect spelling is “Accom­mo­da­tion”.

5. Choose the correct improvement: “She is senior than me.”

Expla­na­tion: The adjec­tive “senior” is fol­lowed by the prepo­si­tion “to”, not “than”.

6. Find the next number: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ?

Expla­na­tion: These are con­sec­u­tive squares: 2², 3², 4², 5², 6². There­fore, the next num­ber is 7² = 49.

7. If CAT is coded as DBU, how will DOG be coded using the same pattern?

Expla­na­tion: Each let­ter is shift­ed one posi­tion for­ward: D→E, O→P and G→H. Hence DOG becomes EPH.

8. A person walks 8 metres north, turns right and walks 6 metres, then turns right and walks 8 metres. How far is the person from the starting point?

Expla­na­tion: The north and south move­ments can­cel each oth­er. The per­son remains 6 metres east of the start­ing point.

9. In a row, Rahul is 12th from the left and 18th from the right. How many persons are there in the row?

Expla­na­tion: Total per­sons = Posi­tion from left + Posi­tion from right − 1 = 12 + 18 − 1 = 29.

10. If all roses are flowers and some flowers are red, which conclusion definitely follows?

Expla­na­tion: The first state­ment direct­ly estab­lish­es that all ros­es belong to the cat­e­go­ry of flowers.

11. Find the odd one out.

Expla­na­tion: 16, 25 and 36 are per­fect squares. 48 is not a per­fect square.

12. If P is the brother of Q and Q is the sister of R, how is P related to R?

Expla­na­tion: P is the broth­er of Q, and Q is the sis­ter of R. There­fore, P is also the broth­er of R.

13. Complete the series: AZ, BY, CX, DW, ?

Expla­na­tion: The first let­ters move for­ward A, B, C, D, E while the sec­ond let­ters move back­ward Z, Y, X, W, V. There­fore, the answer is EV.

14. Pointing to a man, a woman says, “His mother is the only daughter of my mother.” How is the woman related to the man?

Expla­na­tion: The only daugh­ter of the wom­an’s moth­er is the woman her­self. There­fore, the man’s moth­er is the woman, so she is his mother.

15. If in a certain code, BOOK is written as CPPL, how is PEN written?

Expla­na­tion: Each let­ter is shift­ed one posi­tion for­ward: P→Q, E→F, N→O. There­fore, PEN becomes QFO.

16. A number is increased by 20% and becomes 360. What was the original number?

Expla­na­tion: 120% of the orig­i­nal num­ber = 360. Orig­i­nal num­ber = 360 ÷ 1.20 = 300.

17. The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. If there are 64 students, how many are girls?

Expla­na­tion: Total ratio = 3 + 5 = 8. Girls = 5/8 × 64 = 40.

18. A shopkeeper gives a 10% discount on an article marked at ₹1,500. What is the selling price?

Expla­na­tion: Dis­count = 10% of ₹1,500 = ₹150. Sell­ing price = ₹1,500 − ₹150 = ₹1,350.

19. The average of five numbers is 28. If four of the numbers are 20, 25, 30 and 35, what is the fifth number?

Expla­na­tion: Total of five num­bers = 28 × 5 = 140. Sum of four num­bers = 110. Fifth num­ber = 140 − 110 = 30.

20. A sum of ₹4,000 is invested at 5% simple interest per annum for 3 years. What is the interest earned?
