Solutions
SECTION I: LOGICAL REASONING

1. B
The pattern shows counting numbers from 13 to 22. The number missing
comes after 18 and before 20.
Hence, the missing number is 19.

2. A

Number of =6

Number of =4

Difference = 6 4 = 2
Hence, there are 2 more balls than dolls.

3. A
The other pair of shapes will fit perfectly to form a single shape with the
exception of

4. B
The pattern consists of 3 flowers in each column. Each column starts with the
flower which ends the previous column. So, the next figure in the pattern is

5. A
On counting, we find there are 21 circles in the given figure.

6. C
The pattern here is 35 added to the previous number.
257 + 35 = 292
292 + 35 = 327
So, the next numbers in the pattern are 292 and 327.

7. D
The number 1 appears only once in the given table.

8. A
Shape Q is made of 5 sides.
Hence, shape Q has the largest number of sides.

9. A
Spring P is placed first.
Hence, spring P is nearest to the tree.

10. A
The shapes 2 and 3 do not meet, while all other shapes meet.

SECTION II: MATHEMATICAL REASONING

11. B
Number of legs of each fox = 4
Number of foxes = 4
Number of legs = 4 4 = 16
Hence, there are 16 legs.

12. A
There are 3 bags and 2 apples shown extra in the picture which means it has
32 apples, while in the rest there are 31, 20 and 30 apples, respectively.

13. C
10 children prefer green colour.
10 more children prefer yellow than green = 10 + 10 = 20
Hence, 20 children prefer yellow colour.

14. A
Weight of frog and weighing block = 350 g
Weight of the block = 200 g
Weight of the frog = (350 200)g = 150 g
Hence, the weight of the frog is 150 g.

15.D
Number of green squares = 28
Number of yellow squares = 27
Difference = 28 27 = 1
Hence, there is 1 green square more than the yellow squares.

16. D
4 starfish have 20 arms.
1 starfish has (20 4) 5 arms.
50 arms are seen in (50 5) 10 starfish.
Hence, 10 starfish have 50 arms.

17. A
There are 8 rows and 8 columns in a chessboard. The white and black
squares alternate with each other.
Thus, there are equal numbers of white and black squares.

18. A
50 + 10 + 20 = 80
120 50 = 70
80 > 70

19. C
Food consumed on Saturday = 125 g
Food consumed on Sunday = 341 g
Total food consumed = (125 + 341) g = 466 g
Hence, the kitten ate 466 g of food over the weekend.

20. D
The actual subtraction is as follows:
7 9 16
8 0 6
3 9 7
409
Hence, the missing number is 9.

21. D
There are 4 beads on the hundreds rod, 5 beads on the tens rod and 3 beads
on the ones rod. So, the number shown on the abacus is 453.

22. D
7 in the number 786 is in the hundreds place.
It is equal to 7 100 = 700
700 = 70 10
So, 700 = 70 tens

23. C
The thermometer here shows a reading of 82F.
Hence, the temperature is 82F.

24. B
A cube has 6 flat surfaces and 8 corners.

Hence, the solid is .

25. A
Total coins = 5 + 8 + 11 + 16 = 40
Hence, there are 40 coins in all.

SECTION III: EVERYDAY MATHEMATICS

26. C
Total balloons with Giya = 450
Balloons used in the party = 325
Balloons left = 450 325 = 125
Hence, Giya is left with 125 balloons.

27. C
Total money with Jia = `(30 + 55 + 100) = `185
Hence, Jia has `185 now.

28. A
Shells collected by Heena = 46
Shells collected by Kanika = 46 + 3 = 49
Total shells collected = 46 + 49 = 95
Hence, they collected a total of 95 shells.

29. B
Number of chocolates each child gets = 3
Total chocolates bought = 24
Number of students Tina has = 24 3

Hence, there are 8 students.

30. D
Magazines sold by Ashu = 286
Magazines sold by Beena = 286 + 79 = 365
Magazines sold by Mohit = 365 38 = 327
Hence, Mohit sold 327 magazines.

Movie started at 8 oclock
Movie ended at 10 oclock
Difference = 10 8 = 2 hours
Hence, the movie was 2 hours long.

33.D
Water in Jug P = 10 litres
Water in Jug Q = (10 + 4) = 14 litres
Hence, Jug Q holds 14 litres of water.

34. C
Rice with Latika = 1000 g
Rice sold on Monday = 160 g
Rice sold on Tuesday = 150 g
Rice left with Latika = 1000 (160 + 150) = (1000 310) g = 690 g
Latika is left with 690 g of rice.
