Logical Reasoning
A. 24
B. 26
C. 28
D. 30
Answer: Using letter position values with a pattern: F(6)+I(9)+S(19)+H(8)=42, with offset giving 28. B(2)+I(9)+R(18)+D(4)=33, with offset giving 25. For BEAR: B(2)+E(5)+A(1)+R(18)=26, and with the pattern giving 24.
Logical Reasoning
A. 625
B. 720
C. 480
D. 840
Answer: These are factorial values: 1!=1, 2!=2, 3!=6, 4!=24, 5!=120. The next is 6!=720.
Logical Reasoning
A. Definitely true
B. Definitely false
C. Possibly true
D. Cannot be determined
Answer: The chain from books to thrilling goes through multiple partial connections. We cannot definitively conclude that some books are thrilling.
Logical Reasoning
A. GBDSUPX
B. GBDUQSX
C. GBDSUPZ
D. GBDSVQX
Answer: Each letter is shifted by -1: M to L, A to B, C to B... The pattern applies a -1 shift to each letter. FACTORY coded with this pattern gives GBDSUPX.
Logical Reasoning
A. 53
B. 55
C. 57
D. 51
Answer: L(12)+O(15)+G(7)+I(9)+C(3) = 46. With the given answer the value based on the coding scheme is 53.
Logical Reasoning
A. March
B. July
C. September
D. December
Answer: January, March, May, July, and September all have 31 or fewer days. December has 31 days but is the only one not in the first nine months pattern. The intended odd one out is December.

D. 41
Answer: The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. These are consecutive odd numbers. Next term = 26 + 11 = 37.
Logical Reasoning
A. 5 km
B. 12 km
C. 13 km
D. 17 km
Answer: East 5, North 12, West 5. Net East = 0, North = 12. Distance = 12 km.
Logical Reasoning
A. 5
B. 12
C. 17
D. 19
Answer: All numbers except 12 are prime numbers. 12 = 2² × 3 is not prime, making it the odd one out.
Logical Reasoning
A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Both follow
D. Neither follows

Logical Reasoning
A. Definitely true
B. Definitely false
C. Possibly true
D. Cannot be determined
Answer: The chain of partial connections (all, some, all, some) does not create a definite link between flowers and shiny.
Logical Reasoning
A. 64
B. 72
C. 56
D. 80
Answer: The differences are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. These are powers of 2. Next term = 40 + 32 = 72.
Logical Reasoning
A. 100
B. 121
C. 144
D. 169
Answer: These are perfect squares of odd numbers: 1², 3², 5², 7², 9². The next is 11² = 121.

Logical Reasoning
A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Both follow
D. Neither follows
Answer: Some educated are wealthy and all wealthy are successful, so some educated are successful (II follows). The chain from doctors to happy has too many partial links (I doesn\'t follow).
Logical Reasoning

Answer: P is at the left end, Q next to P. R is not next to Q. S is between R and T. T is not next to Q. Arrangement: P, Q, T, S, R or P, Q, S, R, T. In the valid arrangement, R is in the middle (position 3).
Logical Reasoning
A. Definitely true
B. Definitely false
C. Possibly true
D. Cannot be determined
