Explanation

The first statement states that all offices on the 9th floor have wall-to-wall carpeting. The second statement states that no wall-to-wall carpeting is pink. Therefore, it can be concluded that none of the offices on the 9th floor have pink wall-to-wall carpeting. Hence, the third statement is true.

Submit
4. In the following set of words, which word does not belong?

Explanation

All the words in the set (happiness, pleasure, enjoyment, satisfaction) are related to positive emotions or feelings. However, "impulsiveness" stands out because it does not fit into this category. Impulsiveness refers to acting without thinking or planning, which is not necessarily associated with positive emotions.

Submit
5. Choose the sentence that is written most correctly:

Explanation

The correct answer is "He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to rush to his village immediately." This sentence is written most correctly because it uses the correct preposition "to" after the verb "rush" and the correct preposition "to" before the noun "his village." It also uses the adverb "immediately" correctly to describe the urgency of the situation.

Submit
6. Last night men who knocked at our doors ________ 

Explanation

The correct answer is "Were strangers." This is because the subject "men" is plural, so the correct verb form should also be plural. Therefore, "were" is the correct form of the verb to agree with the plural subject.

Submit

Explanation

The analogy here is that a book is made up of pages, just like a library is made up of books. In both cases, the smaller component is a part of the larger whole. Therefore, the correct answer is "Books."

8. In a family there are husband wife, two sons and two daughters. All the ladies were invited to a dinner. Both sons went out to play. Husband did not return from office. Who was at home? 

Explanation

Since the question states that all the ladies were invited to a dinner and both sons went out to play, it implies that none of the family members were at home. Therefore, the correct answer is "Nobody was at home."

Submit
9. Statement: A large number of people in ward X of the city are diagnosed to be suffering from a fatal malaria type.What Courses of action should be taken:
  1. .The city municipal authority should take immediate steps to carry out extensive fumigation in ward X.
  2.  The people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites

Explanation

Both courses of action follow because they address the problem of the large number of people suffering from fatal malaria in ward X. Course of action I suggests that the city municipal authority should carry out extensive fumigation in ward X to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of malaria. Course of action II suggests that the people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites, which can help reduce the risk of contracting malaria. Both actions are necessary to effectively address the problem and prevent further cases of malaria.

Submit

Submit
11. A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:

Explanation

When the father says "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth," it means that the age difference between the father and son is the same as the son's current age. If the father is currently 38 years old, then the son's age is 38 - 5 = 33 years. Therefore, the son's age five years back was 33 - 5 = 28 years. The correct answer is 14.

Submit
12. I need not offer any explanation regarding this incident - my behaviour is speaking itself.

Explanation

The phrase "speaks for itself" means that the behavior or action is so clear and self-explanatory that it does not require any further explanation or justification. In this context, the speaker is stating that their behavior is evident and obvious, and therefore does not need any additional explanation.

Submit

14. Find two words, one from each group, that are closest in meaning.
Group AdecreasefloorstairsGroup Bdownreducebasement
 

Explanation

The words "decrease" and "reduce" are closest in meaning because they both refer to the act of making something smaller or diminishing its quantity or size. Both words convey the idea of making something less or lowering its level. The other word pairs do not have similar meanings.

Submit
15. What decimal of an hour is a minute?

Explanation

A minute is equal to 1/60th of an hour. To convert this fraction into a decimal, we divide 1 by 60, which gives us 0.016. Therefore, 0.016 is the decimal representation of a minute in an hour.

Submit
16. Cake is to party as bed is to 

Explanation

The analogy between cake and party suggests that cake is a component or a necessary element of a party. Similarly, the analogy between bed and room implies that bed is a component or a necessary element of a room. In this analogy, sleep, nightmare, and dream do not necessarily have a direct relationship with bed, whereas room does. Therefore, the correct answer is room.

Submit
17. After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 centimeters. How high (in centimeters) will it reach after its fourth  bounce?

Explanation

The ball reaches a height of 125 centimeters after the first bounce. Since the ball always bounces back to 2/5 of its previous height, after the first bounce, it will reach a height of 125 * 2/5 = 50 centimeters. After the second bounce, it will reach a height of 50 * 2/5 = 20 centimeters. After the third bounce, it will reach a height of 20 * 2/5 = 8 centimeters. Therefore, after the fourth bounce, it will also reach a height of 8 centimeters.

Submit
18. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?

Explanation

A can do the work alone in 20 days. On every third day, A is assisted by B and C. This means that A works alone for 2 days, and then works with B and C on the third day. Since B and C can complete the work in 30 and 60 days respectively, their combined efficiency is 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20. This means that on the third day, A's effective efficiency is doubled. Therefore, the work done by A in 3 days is equivalent to the work done by A alone in 6 days. So, in 15 days, A will complete the entire work.

Submit
19. If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? "Black haired people are kind. I have black hair. I am kind."

Explanation

The final statement cannot be determined as true based solely on the first two statements. While it is stated that black-haired people are kind and the person making the statement has black hair, there is no logical connection between having black hair and being kind. Therefore, the final statement cannot be deemed true or false without further evidence or reasoning.

Submit
20.  
Blueberries cost more than strawberries.Blueberries cost less than raspberries.Raspberries cost more than strawberries and blueberries.If the first two statements are true, the third statement is

Explanation

The third statement is true because it is consistent with the first two statements. The first statement states that blueberries cost more than strawberries, and the second statement states that blueberries cost less than raspberries. Therefore, it can be concluded that raspberries cost more than both strawberries and blueberries.
