Answer Key with Explanations
Section A:
1.(a) X is Y's brother, and Y is Z's daughter, so X is Z's uncle; since W is X's mother, W is Z's grandmother.
2.(a) Using the Pythagorean theorem: distance = √(18² + 24²) = √(324+576) = √900 = 30 km.
3.(a) Each letter shifts forward by one place in the alphabet, the same rule as CANDLE→DBOEMF; applying it to WINDOW gives XJOEPX.
4.(a) Since F ≤ G < H ≤ I, it follows directly that I ≥ F.
5.(a) The gaps between letters increase: K to O is +4, O to T is +5, T to Z is +6, so Z to next is +7; Z is the 26th letter, +7 gives the 33rd position, which wraps around the 26-letter alphabet to the 7th letter, G.
6.(a) Cannot be determined: the "some retirement products" that offer tax benefits may or may not include NPS accounts specifically.
7.(a) With 23 floors, the middle floor is floor 12.
8.(a) Rank from the bottom = 95 − 40 + 1 = 56th.
9.(a) Each term follows ×2−1: 8×2−1=15, 15×2−1=29, 29×2−1=57, 57×2−1=113.
10.(a) Substituting the coded meanings and applying standard order of operations: 30 + 10 − (7 × 3) = 40 − 21 = 19.
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, MOON is written as 13-15-15-14.
14.(a) Yes, this follows validly: all post-dated cheques are payment instruments, and no payment instruments guarantee immediate encashment, so no post-dated cheque can guarantee immediate encashment.
15.(a) Position from the right = 64 − 29 + 1 = 36th.
16.(a) Let B's present age be x and A's be 9x; seven years ago, 9x−7 = 16(x−7), giving 9x−7 = 16x−112, so 7x = 105, x = 15; B's present age is 15 years.
17.(a) Each term follows ×2+1: 5×2+1=11, 11×2+1=23, 23×2+1=47, 47×2+1=95.
18.(a) Starting from North-West, turning 90° clockwise gives North-East, and a further 90° clockwise gives South-East.

Section B:
21.(a) 121÷11+22×2−14 = 11+44−14 = 41.
22.(a) Interest earned = 52,000−40,000 = 12,000; rate = (12,000×100)/(40,000×3) = 10%.
23.(a) Let cost price be x; 0.70x+840 = 1.00x, giving 840 = 0.30x, so x = 2,800.
24.(a) Let the numbers be 11y and 19y; 11y+19y=240, so 30y=240, y=8; the larger number is 19×8=152.
25.(a) CI = 1,00,000×(1.06)²−1,00,000 = 1,00,000×1.1236−1,00,000 = 1,12,360−1,00,000 = ₹12,360.
26.(a) Combined rate = 1/50; A's rate = 1/90; B's rate = 1/50−1/90 = 9/450−5/450 = 4/450 = 2/225; B alone takes 225/2 = 112.5 days.
27.(a) Combined rate = 1/28+1/42 = 3/84+2/84 = 5/84; time taken together = 84/5 = 16.8 hours.
28.(a) Increase = 135−90 = 45; percentage increase = (45/90)×100 = 50%.
29.(a) 13(x−8)=9x+4 → 13x−104=9x+4 → 4x=108 → x=27.
30.(a) Area = πr² = (22/7)×63×63 = 22×9×63 = 12,474 sq cm.
31.(a) Sum of thirteen numbers = 13×65=845; sum of remaining twelve = 12×63=756; excluded number = 845−756=89.
32.(a) If a sum doubles in 5 years, the rate is 100%/5 = 20% per annum.
33.(a) Let cost price be 100; marked price=350; selling price after 60% discount = 350×0.40=140; profit percentage=40%.
34.(a) Total investment = 1,00,000+1,10,000+1,20,000=3,30,000; largest partner's share = (1,20,000/3,30,000)×1,65,000 = ₹60,000.
35.(a) (900÷45)×6+50 = 20×6+50 = 120+50 = 170.
36.(a) Downstream speed = 40+8=48 km/h; time = 96/48 = 2 hours.
37.(a) If the cost price of 45 articles equals the selling price of 36, the trader gains the value of 9 extra articles per 36 sold; profit percentage = (9/36)×100 = 25%.
38.(a) Interest for 1 year (year 2 to 3) = 44,550−40,500 = 4,050; interest for 2 years = 8,100; principal = 40,500−8,100 = ₹32,400.
39.(a) The differences between terms decrease: 450−405=45, 405−362=43, 362−321=41, so the next difference is 39, giving 321−39=282.
40.(a) Let B's share be x; A's share = 2.25x; x+2.25x=65,000, so 3.25x=65,000, x=20,000.
Section C:
41.(a) Correct: "Each of the nominees has completed the formalities" — "each" takes a singular verb.
