Answer Key with Explanations
Section A:
1.(a) Y is Z's sister, and Z is W's son, so Y is W's aunt; since X is Y's father, X is W's grandfather.
2.(a) Using the Pythagorean theorem: distance = √(5² + 12²) = √(25+144) = √169 = 13 km.
3.(a) Each letter shifts forward by one place in the alphabet, the same rule as WATER→XBUFS; applying it to EARTH gives FBSUI.
4.(a) Since J < K ≤ L < M, it follows directly that M > J.
5.(a) The gaps between letters increase: E to I is +4, I to N is +5, N to T is +6, so T to next is +7, giving A.
6.(a) Cannot be determined: the "some securities" that are listed may or may not include debentures specifically.
7.(a) With 13 floors, the middle floor is floor 7.
8.(a) Rank from the bottom = 60 − 25 + 1 = 36th.
9.(a) Each term follows ×2+1: 8×2+1=17, 17×2+1=35, 35×2+1=71, 71×2+1=143.
10.(a) Substituting the coded meanings and applying standard order of operations: 15 + 5 − (6 × 2) = 20 − 12 = 8.
11.(a) Arranging from the clues, the order is: F, G, H, I, J, placing F at one end and J at the other.
12.(a) A is B's father's daughter, meaning A is B's sister; since C is B's brother, A and C are siblings, making A C's sister.
13.(a) Each letter is coded by its position in the alphabet; applying the same code, FIELD is written as 6-9-5-12-4.
14.(a) Yes, this follows validly: all shares are financial assets, and no financial assets are guaranteed, so no share can be guaranteed.
15.(a) Position from the right = 44 − 19 + 1 = 26th.
16.(a) Let B's present age be x and A's be 3x; five years ago, 3x−5 = 4(x−5), giving 3x−5 = 4x−20, so x = 15; B's present age is 15 years.
17.(a) Each term follows ×2+1: 6×2+1=13, 13×2+1=27, 27×2+1=55, 55×2+1=111.
18.(a) Starting from North-East, turning 90° anticlockwise gives North-West.

Section B:
21.(a) 64÷8+12×2−7 = 8+24−7 = 25.
22.(a) Interest earned = 28,600−22,000 = 6,600; rate = (6,600×100)/(22,000×3) = 10%.
23.(a) Let cost price be x; 0.80x+350 = 1.05x, giving 350 = 0.25x, so x = 1,400.
24.(a) Let the numbers be 6y and 11y; 6y+11y=136, so 17y=136, y=8; the larger number is 11×8=88.
25.(a) CI = 50,000×(1.08)²−50,000 = 50,000×1.1664−50,000 = 58,320−50,000 = ₹8,320.
26.(a) Combined rate = 1/24; A's rate = 1/40; B's rate = 1/24−1/40 = 5/120−3/120 = 2/120 = 1/60; B alone takes 60 days.
27.(a) Combined rate = 1/14+1/21 = 3/42+2/42 = 5/42; time taken together = 42/5 = 8.4 hours.
28.(a) Increase = 455−350 = 105; percentage increase = (105/350)×100 = 30%.
29.(a) 8(x−3)=4x+8 → 8x−24=4x+8 → 4x=32 → x=8.
30.(a) Area = πr² = (22/7)×28×28 = 22×4×28 = 2,464 sq cm.
31.(a) Sum of eight numbers = 8×40=320; sum of remaining seven = 7×38=266; excluded number = 320−266=54.
32.(a) If a sum doubles in 16 years, the rate is 100%/16 = 6.25% per annum.
33.(a) Let cost price be 100; marked price=180; selling price after 30% discount = 180×0.70=126; profit percentage=26%.
34.(a) Total investment = 50,000+60,000+70,000=1,80,000; largest partner's share = (70,000/1,80,000)×90,000 = ₹35,000.
35.(a) (324÷18)×4+20 = 18×4+20 = 72+20 = 92.
36.(a) Upstream speed = 24−6=18 km/h; time = 90/18 = 5 hours.
37.(a) If the cost price of 20 articles equals the selling price of 16, the trader gains the value of 4 extra articles per 16 sold; profit percentage = (4/16)×100 = 25%.
38.(a) Interest for 1 year (year 2 to 3) = 21,600−19,800 = 1,800; interest for 2 years = 3,600; principal = 19,800−3,600 = ₹16,200.
39.(a) The differences between terms decrease: 200−180=20, 180−161=19, 161−143=18, so the next difference is 17, giving 143−17=126.
40.(a) Let B's share be x; A's share = 1.2x; x+1.2x=36,000, so 2.2x=36,000, x≈16,363.64.
Section C:
41.(a) Correct: "Each of the customers was satisfied with the service" — "each" takes a singular verb.
