  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.33

    How many squares are there in the given figure?

    Solutions

    There are 4 rows and 4 columns in the above figure. So let n = 4.

    Here, we using formulas for finding number of squares in an n × n grid as follows.

    Formula :-

    n2 + (n - 1)2 + (n - 2)2 + - - - - - - - - - - + (n - n)2

    The number of squares in a 4 × 4 matrix is

    = 4² + 3² + 2² + 1²

    ⇒ 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30

    Theoretical Method:

    To count the square, we will assign a number to each block of the square as shown below:

    Sqaures involving only one block = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16} = 16 squares

    Squares involving four blocks = {(1, 2, 5, 6), (2, 6, 3, 7), (3, 7, 4, 8), (5, 6, 9, 10), (6, 7, 10, 11), (7, 8, 11, 12), (9, 10, 13, 14), (10, 11, 14, 15), (11, 12, 15, 16)} = 9 squares

    Squares involving 9 blocks = {(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11), (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12), (5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15), (6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16)} = 4 squares

    Squares involving 16 blocks = 1

    Total number of squares = 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 squares.

    So, there are 30 squares in the given figure.

    Hence, the correct answer is "30".

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.33

    Select the option that exactly fills the space for the question mark.

    Solutions

    LOGIC:

    In a row inside figures are 5, 3, and 1.

    In Row 2:

    Squares are 5, 3, and 1.

    Hence, option (4) is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.33

    Which number from the options will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?\

    1, 6, 7, 13, 20, 33, ?

    Solutions

    The logic followed here is:

    Hence, "53" is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.33

    What day of the week was 5 May 2006?

    Solutions

    5 May 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 5.5.2006)

    Odd days in 1600 years = 0

    Odd days in 4 years = 0

    5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 * 1 + 1* 2) = 6 odd days

    31 jan + 28 feb + 31 march + 30 April + 5 may = 125 days

    125 days = 17 weeks and 6 days = 6 odd days

    Total number of odd days = 0 + 0 + 6 + 6 = 12

    12 when divided with 7 we get 5 as remainder.

    Code

    Days

    '5' is the code for Friday.

    So, it was Friday on 5 May 2006.

    Hence, Friday is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.33

    Three of the following four words are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd word out.

    Solutions

    The logic followed here is:

    Hirakud, Almatti, and Mettur all are the names of dams.

    But Sutlej is the name of a river.

    Additional Information

    Name of Dam State
    Hirankud Odisha
    Almatti Karnataka
    Mettur Tamil Nadu

    Hence, the correct answer is "Sutlej"

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.33

    Directions: In the question below is given a statement and followed by two arguments numbered I and II. Consider the arguments and decide which option is correct answer.

    Anger is an emotion; it needs special skills as to control it.

    Assumption I: Anger need to be controlled.

    Assumption II: Only skillful people can control it.

    Solutions

    Given Statement -

    Anger is an emotion; it needs special skills as to control it.

    Assumptions - 

    I: Anger need to be controlled - This cannot be considered as an implicit assumption as there is no mention that anger needs to be controlled, it just says controlling it requires special skills.

    II: Only skillful people can control it - This is an implicit assumption as can be seen directly through the statements given.

    Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.33

    Select the alphanumeric-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

    GK28, KF40, OA52,?, WQ76

    Solutions

    The positions of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

    Hence, "SV76" is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.33

    In the following question, one question and two statements 1 and 2 are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statement is sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and answer the question.

    Question: Who is the author of "India Wins Freedom"?

    1. 'Discovery of India' is written by Jawaharlal Nehru.

    2. Pandit Motilal Nehru was the father of Jawaharlal Nehru.

    Solutions

    1. 'Discovery of India' is written by Jawaharlal Nehru.

    It is not necessary that Jawaharlal Nehru also the author of "India Wins Freedom".

    2. Pandit Motilal Nehru was the father of Jawaharlal Nehru.

    Here, the statement does not mention any update regarding the book.

    Both the statements together not identify who is the author of "India Wins Freedom"

    Hence, "the data given in both statement 1 and statement 2 together are not sufficient to answer the question."

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.33

    In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The questions below are followed by two arguments each numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the two arguments is the strong argument and which is the weak argument.

    Statement:

    Should schools stop the practice of conducting debates?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. Debating culture creates a feeling of resentment among children for the ones who oppose them.
    2. No. It inculcates the habit of critical thinking among children and improves their oral communication skills.
    Solutions

    Debating culture gives an opportunity to school children to critically analyse a topic and argue in favour of what they believe in. It prepares them to put forward their ideas and consider the ideas of their opponents. This teaches them to respect and tolerate others’ opinions rather than creating a feeling of resentment. Argument I gives a vague reason as to why debates should not be conducted. Resentment can be caused due to several reasons and not just because of debating. Therefore, option 2 is the right answer.
