6 A man had returned after a day’s bird-shooting. He was asked how many birds he had in the bag. He said “they are all sparrows but six; all pigeons but six and all doves but six”,
How many birds had he in all ?
(1) 18
(2) 9
(3) 27
(4) 64
(5) None of these
Ans : (2)
Explanation : Let the no. of birds be x
∴ (x – 6) + (x – 6) + (x – 6) = x
∴ 3x – 18 = x
⇒ 2x = 18 ⇒ x = 9.
7 If HKUJ means FISH, what does UVCD mean ?

2, 6, 12, 20, 30 … 56
(1) 42
(2) 38
(3) 46
(4) 56
(5) None of these
Ans : (1)
Explanation : The series is 12 + 1, 22 + 2, 32 + 3, 42 + 4, 52 + 5, 62 + 6 ……
Hence missing figure : 62 + 6 = 42
10. Supply the missing figure :
1, 4, 9, 16, 25 …. 49
(1) 27
(2) 36
(3) 64
(4) 81
(5) None of these
Ans : (2)
Explanation : The series is 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72 ……
∴ Missing figure = 62 = 36

14. If A = 1, B = 3, C = 5 and so on, what do the numbers 3, 9, 7 stand for ?
(a) BID
(b) BAD
(c) BED
(d) CAR
(5) None of these
Ans : (3)
Explanation : A → 1st position → 1
B → 2nd position → 2 + 1 = 3
C → 3rd position → 3 + 2 = 5
D → 4th position → 4 + 3 = 7
E → 5th position → 5 + 4 = 9
Hence, 3, 9, 7 stands for B, E, D.
15. Which choice provides the answer : If 2 + 3 = 10, 6 + 5 = 66, 7 + 2 = 63, 9 + 7 = 144 then, 8 + 4 = ?
(a) 48
(b) 144
(c) 96
(d) 55
(5) None of these
Ans : (3)
Explanation : By the rule 2 + 3 = 10
6 + 5 = 66
7 + 2 = 63
We see that two numbers are added first and then multiplied by first number. For, example see 7 + 2 = 9 then 9 * 7 = 63
∴ Here 8 + 4 = 12
then 8 * 12 = 96.
16. Which choice provides the answer in the following : If 2 * 3 = 36, 5 * 4 = 400, 6 * 2 = 144, 3 * 3 = 81; then, 5 * 5 = ?
(1) 255
(2) 625
(3) 10
(4) 25
(5) None of these
Ans : (2)
Explanation : As 2 * 3 = 6 But here the rule framed as
2 * 3 → 62 → 36
5 * 4 → 202 → 400
3 * 3 → 92 → 81
∴ 5 * 5 → (25)2 → 625
