Solution
Pattern is 
The nine alphabets L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T are assigned to nine integers 1 to 9 not necessarily in
the same order 4 is assigned to P. The difference between P and T is 5. The difference between N and T
is 3.
What is the integer assigned to N?

If REASON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED as 7, what is the code number for GOVERNMENT?
1
2
3
4
Solution
Count the number of letters in each word and subtract 1.
REASON has 6 letters → 6 − 1 = 5.
BELIEVED has 8 letters → 8 − 1 = 7.
GOVERNMENT has 10 letters → 10 − 1 = 9.
Which two of the following numbers comes in the next in the following sequence.
61, 57, 50, 61, 43, 36, 61, ………

Solution
The given series is:
61,57 --- ( -7 )----> 50,61, 43 ---(-7)----> 36, 61, 29 ----(-7)----->22
Thus, following the same pattern next two terms will be 29
and 22.
Five boys A, B, C, D, E and five girls P, Q, R, S, T are standing in two rows facing each other not
necessarily in the order. E is not at any end. C is to the immediate right of B and D is to the immediate
left of A, who is facing P. There are as many girls between P and Q as between R and S. A is second to the left of
B. S and R are not facing either B or D.
Who is facing B?

A group of 630 children is arranged in rows for a group photograph. Each row contains
three fewer children than the row in front of it. What number of rows is not possible?
1
2
3
4
Solution
Let the first row have $n$ children and total rows be $r$. Then the numbers per row form an AP with difference $-3$ and sum $630$:
$\displaystyle \frac{r}{2}\big(2n-3(r-1)\big)=630$ $ \;\Rightarrow\; 1260=r\big(2n-3(r-1)\big)$.
Hence $r\mid1260$. Also the last row must be positive: $n-3(r-1)>0$.
Testing the options (and ensuring $n$ is integer and last term positive):
- $r=4$: $1260/4=315$, $2n=315+3\cdot3=324 \Rightarrow n=162$, last term $=162-9=153>0$ ✓
- $r=5$: $1260/5=252$, $2n=252+3\cdot4=264 \Rightarrow n=132$, last term $=132-12=120>0$ ✓
- $r=6$: $1260/6=210$, $2n=210+3\cdot5=225 \Rightarrow n=112.5$ (not integer) ✗
Therefore, the impossible number of rows is $\boxed{6}$.
In the following questions, select one alternative in which the third
statement is implied by the first two statements.

Solution
Only in option (4) does the conclusion follow logically.
If all XYZ can run, and all ABC are XYZ, then every ABC can run.
In (1), (2), and (3) the conclusion is the wrong direction (they assert converses).
How many minimum number of colours will be required to paint all the sides of a cube without the adjacent sides having the same colours?

Solution
By painting, opposite, sides with same colour, we can
paint all the sides of a cube without the adjacent sides
having the same colour i.e. 6/2 = 3
The letters of English alphabet from A to M were written, leaving space for one letter between every
two letters and then the remaining letters were inserted beginning with N and ending the series with
Z after M.
Which letter would be 3rd to the right of the 7th letter from the left

Solution
Arrangement:
1 A, 2 N, 3 B, 4 O, 5 C, 6 P, 7 D, 8 Q, 9 E, 10 R, 11 F, 12 S, 13 G, 14 T, 15 H, 16 U, 17 I, 18 V, 19 J, 20 W, 21 K, 22 X, 23 L, 24 Y, 25 M, 26 Z
Step:
7th letter from the left = D (position 7)
3rd letter to the right of D = position 10 = R
Answer: R
Five boys A, B, C, D, E and five girls P, Q, R, S, T are standing in two rows facing each other not
necessarily in the order. E is not at any end. C is to the immediate right of B and D is to the immediate
left of A, who is facing P. There are as many girls between P and Q as between R and S. A is second to the left of
B. S and R are not facing either B or D.
