1. In a certain code, PATTERN is written as OTAETNR.

How is CORRESPONDENT
written in that code?
(A) DROERPSNOEDTN
(B) BROERPSNODETN
(C) BROERPSONEDTN
(D)BROERPSNOEDTN
(E) None of these
Ans: (D) BROERPSNOEDTN
Sol:
Clearly, to obtain the code, the first letter of the word PATTERN is moved one step
backward and the remaining letters are reversing in order, taking two at a time.

Therefore, in CORRESPONDENT, C will be coded as B, and the sequence of the

remaining letter in the code would be ROERPSNOEDTN. Thus, the code becomes
BROERPSNOEDTN.

Hence, answer is BROERPSNOEDTN.

Which of the following statement is definitely not true?
(A) A is the son of E.
(B) F is the wife of E.
(C) G is the grandfather of B.
(D) C is the father of F.
(E) B is the brother of C.
Ans: (D) C is the father of F.
Sol:

Here, A is the brother of B & C, F & E are mother and father of A, B & C. E is the son
of G but G may be grandfather or grandmother of A, B & C.

Therefore, from the family tree:

A is the son of E definitely true.
F is the wife of E definitely true.
G is the grandfather of B May or may not be true.
C is the father of F definitely not true as E is the father of C.
B is the brother of C probability of being true.
Hence, the answer will be C is the father of F is definitely not true.

(A) G is ranked first or fourth.
(B) C is ranked second or third.
(C) A is ranked second or fifth.
(D) F is ranked third or fourth.
(E) E is ranked fourth or fifth.
Ans: (D) F is ranked third or fourth.
Sol: In terms of scores, we have:
G > A, A > B i.e. G > A > B.
If C scores the highest, we have C > . > E.
If D scores the highest, we have D > > B or D > > F.
If D is ranked sixth and B is ranked fifth, we have:
> > > > >B>D> .
In this case, C will rank the highest and thus E will rank the least. We have:
C > > > > B > D > E.
Also, the order G > A > B will be, G and A will have second, third or fourth places.
Thus only F is ranked third or fourth can be true.
21. If C gets most, G should be ranked not lower than:
(A) Second
(B) Third
(C) Fourth
(D) Fifth
(E) Sixth

Ans: C
Sol: In terms of scores, we have:
G > A, A > B i.e. G > A > B.
If C scores the highest, we have C > . > E.
If D scores the highest, we have D > > B or D > > F.
Again, if C ranks most, E ranks lowest and occupies seventh place. Since G always
ranks above A & B, so in the maximum, A & B will occupy fifth and sixth places.
Thus, G will not rank lower than fourth.
23. If C is ranked second and B is ranked fifth, which of the following must be true?
(A) D is ranked third
(B) E is ranked sixth
(C) A is ranked sixth.
(D) G is ranked fourth.
(E) F is ranked sixth.
Ans: B
Sol: In terms of scores, we have:
G > A, A > B i.e. G > A > B.
If C scores the highest, we have C > . > E.
If D scores the highest, we have D > > B or D > > F.
If C is ranked second, D will rank first and B or F rank lowest. But B ranks fifth. So, F
ranks lowest. Also, the order G > A > B will be followed.
So, the arrangement will be D > C > G > A > B > > F. Thus, the sixth place will be
occupied by E.
