Solutions:

[B]: Each letter of the word is moved four steps forward to obtain the code.
[C]: The alphabets are coded as follows:
D
E
L
H
I
C
A
U
T
7
3
5
4
1
8
2
9
6
So, in CALICUT, C is coded as 8, A as 2, L as 5, I as 1, U as 9 and T as 6. Thus the code
for CALICUT is 8251896

[C]: Code for the given word = (Number of letters) 1.

So, code for GOVERNMENT = 9.

[A]: The letters of the word are written in reverse order and then the third and the fourth letters
from the begining and the end of the word so formed are reversed in order, to obtain the code.
Thus the code for POPULARISE is ESRIALPUOP.

[D]: Mahesh and Ritu is the married couple

[B]: Rashmi is Renus aunt.
[D]: Clearly, comparing the direction of A w.r.t. Cin the 2nd diagram with that in the 1st diagram,
A will be south-west of C.

12

[A]: The
sun rise
in the
east. So,
in morning, the shadow falls towards west. Now shadow of the pole falls to the right of the
Gopal. Therefore Gopals right side is the West. So he is facing south.

13

[B]: Clearly the boy rode from A to B, then to C and finally up to D. Since D lies to the west of
A, so required distance = AB = CD = 2km

14

[D]: Starting from his house in the east, Ravi moves westwards. Then, the theatre, which is to
the left, will be in the south. The hospital, which is straight ahead, will be to the west. So, the
university will be to the north.

15

[A]: Vijays
position from
downwards = [Total
students Vijays position from
upwards] + 1
= [43+14] + 1 = 30th

16

[C]:Total students = [Rupeshs position from upwards + Rupeshs position from

downwards] 1
= [9+38] 1
= 46
Answers for Q17 to 21.
C is to the right of D and D is 3rd from south. B will be at the extreme end from north
because it should have E as its neighbor. G is between E and F. So the sequence is:

[D] :G is sitting to the right of E.

[A]: A and B are sitting at the extreme ends.
[C]: G should change place with C to make it third from north.
[D]: D is sitting between C and F.
[D]: All the statements are required to determine the place of A.
[B] The words are HE, ART, LESS.
[D]: The new letter sequence is : NOITARTNECNOC
The 8th letter form the and is R.
[C]: Only two such words can be formed. The words are STAIN and LESS.
[B]: Clearly the given letters, when arranged in the order 4,5,2,3,1,6 form the word
STRAVE.
[B]: The word formed by S, R, U and E is SURE, USER.
