Q. 28 Of the four given equations, the first three are solved on the basis of a certain system. Find the correct answer for the unsolved fourth equation on the same basis.
6 ∗ 5 = 91
8 ∗ 7 = 169
10 ∗ 7 = 211
22 ∗ 5 =?
(A) 993
(B) 331
(C) 845
(D) 678
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
6 ∗ 5 = 91⟶ (6 × 5) × 3 + 1 = 30 × 3 + 1 = 91
8 ∗ 7 = 169⟶ (8 × 7) × 3 + 1 = 56 × 3 + 1 = 169
10 ∗ 7 = 211⟶ (10 × 7) × 3 + 1 = 70 × 3 + 1 = 211
Similarly,
22 ∗ 5 = (22 × 5) × 3 + 1 = 110 × 3 + 1 = 331
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)
Q. 29 Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following pattern.

A, C, E, D, C, E, G, F, ?
(A) E
(B) D
(C) H
(D) (C)
Answer: A
Explanation:
Given series is a alternate series with the two series are A, E, C, G, … and C, D, E, F, … In series A, E, C, G, ….
A + 4 = E
E – 2 = C
C + 4 = G

Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)
Q. 31 Select the option that does NOT belong to the given series:
EC, H, HF, N, KI, U
(A) HF
(B) EC
(C) N
(D) U
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
The logic here is
E + (C) = 5 + 3 = 8 = H
H + F = 8 + 6 = 14 = N
K + I = 11 + 9 = 20 = T
∴ U does not belong to the given series
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)
Q. 32 Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following pattern.
(A) 23
(B) 21
(C) 31
(D) 17
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
The logic here is
252 − 52 = 625 − 25 = 600
272 − 32 = 729 − 9 = 720
The top number is the difference of square of bottom left number and bottom right number. Let the required number = a
Similarly,
a2 − 92 = 880
⇒ a2 − 81 = 880
⇒ a2 = 961
⇒ a = 31
∴ Required number = 31
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C)

CAG : GEK :: HEL : ?
(A) LIP
(B) LEP
(C) GA(C)

For the following questions answer them individually
Q. 51 In the given figure, chords AB and CD are intersecting each other at point L. Find the length of AB.
(A) 23.5 cm
(B) 21.5 cm
(C) 22.5 cm
(D) 24.5 cm
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
L(D) and L(A) are the secants to the circle from the external point L
=> LD.LC = LA.LB
=> (LC+CD).LC = (LB+AB).LB
=> (6+11)6 = (4+x)4
=> 51 = 2x + 8
=> 2x = 43
=> x = 21.5 cm
∴ Length of A(B) = x = 21.5 cm
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)

Q. 55 Two sides of a triangle are of length 3 cm and 8 cm. If the length of the third side is ‘x’ cm, then:
(A) x > 11
(B) 0 < x < 11
(C) 5 < x
(D) 5 < x < 11
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given,
Length of the two sides of the triangle are 3 cm and 8 cm
Length of the third side = ‘x’ cm
In a triangle, length of a side is less than sum of the leghth of other two sides
=> x < 3 + 8
=> x < 11 ………………….(1)
Also, in a triangle length of a side is greater than difference of the other two sides
=> x > 8 – 3
=> x > 5 ……………………(2)
From (1) and (2)
5 < x < 11
Hence, the correct answer is Option (D)

Q. 66 A batsman in his 11th inning makes a score of 77 runs, there by increasing his average scores by 3. What is his average score after the 11th inning?
(A) 46
(B) 47
(C) 48
(D) 49
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Let the average for scores of 10 innings = a
Sum of the scores of 10 innings = 10a
Score in the 11th inning = 77
=> Sum of the scores of 11 innings = 10a + 77
Average increased by 3 after 11th inning
=> Average of the scores of 11 innings = a + 3
=> Sum of the scores of 11 innings = 11(a+3)
=> 11(a+3) = 10a + 77
=> 11a + 33 = 10a + 77
=> 11a – 10a = 77 – 33
=> a = 44
∴ Average of the scores after 11th inning = a + 3 = 44 + 3 = 47
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B)
