Directions (1-5): These questions are based on the following arrangement of letters/ numbers/ symbols. Study them carefully and answer the questions given beside.
5 H β 3 % T I L 4 $ E 6 F 1 R M @ A # B D 2 8 U & C
1. If all the numbers, vowels and the symbol ‘&’ are removed from the above arrangement, which of the following will be the eighth element from the left end?

A. L B. @ C. M D. R E. None of these

Answer: Option (D)
Explantion: If we remove the numbers, vowels and the symbol ‘&’ from the above arrangement, the arrangement will be like:
H β % T L $ F R M @ # B D C
Clearly, ‘R’ is the eighth element from the left end. Option D is hence the correct answer.
2. Which of the following is the fifth to the right of eighth element to the left of the thirteenth element from the left end?

A. β B. T C. A D. $ E. None of these

Answer: Option (D)
Explantion: The 13th element from the left end = F The resultant direction = 8th to the left - 5th to the right = 3rd to the left = $ Option D is hence the correct answer.
3. How many such numbers are there in the above arrangement each of which is immediately followed by a symbol and also immediately preceded by a letter?

A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four E. None of these

Answer: Option (A)
Explantion: 5 H β 3 % T I L 4 $ E 6 F 1 R M @ A # B D 2 8 U & C Clearly, only 1 such permutation exists. Option A is hence the correct answer.
4. If first five and the last five elements are written in reverse order, how many symbols are there that will be immediately followed by a letter?

A. Only one B. Two C. Three D. Four E. None of these

Answer: Option (E)
Explantion: % 3 β H 5 T I L 4 $ E 6 F 1 R M @ A # B D C & U 8 2
Clearly, 5 such permutations exist.
Option E is hence the correct answer.
5. Four of the five are alike in a certain way based on their positions in the above arrangement and hence form a group. Find out the one that does not belong to that group?

A. 35 B. 4T C. 64 D. RA E. 8B

Answer: Option (D)
Explantion: 5 H β 3 % T I L 4 $ E 6 F 1 R M @ A # B D 2 8 U & C
In all the permutations except given as option D, the second element is 3 steps left to the first element. In option D, the second element is 3 steps right to the first element.
Option D is hence the correct answer.

Directions (1-5): Each question below contains two rows marked by I and II. The resultant of each row can be found by the rules given below. Answer the question followed by the rows by finding the resultant with the help of following five rules:
1) If a perfect cube is followed by an odd number, then the numbers are needed to be added. 2) If an even number is followed by a prime number, then subtract the second number from the first one. 3) If an odd number is followed by a perfect square, divide the second number by the first one. 4) If an odd number is followed by a non-perfect square, multiply the two numbers. 5) If a composite number is followed by an even number, then the numbers are needed to be added.
1. I. 6 3 36 II. x 7 6 If x is equal to the resultant of the first row, then find the resultant of the second row.

A) 42 B) 45 C) 30 D) 36 E) 33

Answer: Option (c)
Explanation: For row I – From rule 2: 6 – 3 = 3 From rule 3: 36/3 = 12 Resultant of second row = 12 So, x = 12 For row II – From rule 2: 12 – 7 = 5 From rule 4: 5 × 6 = 30 Resultant of second row = 30
2. I. 7 6 10 II. 10 17 35 Find the multiplication of the resultant of both rows.

A) 242 B) 423 C) 362 D) 260 E) 333

Answer: Option (D)
Explanation: For row I – From rule 4: 7 × 6 = 42 From rule 5: 42 + 10 = 52 Resultant of second row = 52 For row II – From rule 2: 17 – 10 = 5 From rule 4: 35 ÷ 7 = 5 Resultant of second row = 5 So answer = 52 × 5 = 260
3. I. 4 4 15 II. 3 x 3 If x is equal to the resultant of first row, then find the resultant of second row.

A) 142 B) 207 C) 162 D) 160 E) 199

Answer: Option (B)
Explanation: For row I – From rule 5: 4 + 4 = 8 From rule 1: 8 + 15 = 23 Resultant of second row = 23 So x = 23 For row II – From rule 4: 3 × 23 = 69 From rule 4: 69 × 3 = 207 Resultant of second row = 207
4. I. 5 100 4 II. 8 9 3 Find the total of the resultant of both rows.

A) 54 B) 75 C) 52 D) 60 E) 73

Answer: Option (B)
Explanation: For row I – From rule 3: 100 ÷ 5 = 20 From rule 5: 20 + 4 = 24 Resultant of second row = 24 For row II – From rule 1: 8 + 9 = 17 From rule 4: 17 × 3 = 51 Resultant of second row = 51 So answer = 24 + 51 = 75
5. I. 9 5 25 II. 4 19 21 Find the multiplication of the resultant of both rows.

A) 182 B) 123 C) 168 D) 160 E) 175

Answer: Option (E)
Explanation: For row I – From rule 4: 9 × 5 = 45 From rule 3: 25 ÷ 45 = 5/9 Resultant of second row = 5/9 For row II – From rule 2: 19 – 4 = 15 From rule 4: 15 × 21 Resultant of second row = 15 × 21 So answer = 5/9 × 15 × 21 = 175
