71. If CIGARETTE is coded as GICERAETT, then DIRECTION will coded as:
(a) RIDTCENOI
(b) NORTECDII
(c) NOIETCRID
(d) IRDCTIONE
Answer:
(a) RIDTCENOI
Explanation:
The word is divided into blocks of three letters, and each block is reversed. CIG -> GIC, ARE -> ERA, TTE -> ETT. Applying this to DIRECTION: DIR -> RID, ECT -> TCE, ION -> NOI. Combined: RIDTCENOI.
72. MKLJ is to JHIG as NLMK is to:
(a) KJIH
(b) KJLM
(c) KIJH
(d) KLJI
Answer:
(c) KIJH
Explanation:
The code shifts each letter backward by 3 positions in the alphabet. M(-3)=J, K(-3)=H, L(-3)=I, J(-3)=G. Applying this to NLMK: N(-3)=K, L(-3)=I, M(-3)=J, K(-3)=H. The result is KIJH.
73. Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting at a dining table, three on each of the opposite sides. A is facing C and diagonally opposite to F. A and D are at the extreme ends of a side. Who is facing E ? To answer this question which of the following further information is required?
(a) D is facing F.
(b) C is diagonally opposite to D.
(c) E is neighbour to F.
(d) No further information is required.
Answer:
(d) No further information is required.
Explanation:
Let Side 1 have 3 seats and Side 2 have 3 seats. A and D are at extreme ends of one side (e.g., A-Middle-D). Since A faces C, C is opposite A. Since A is diagonally opposite F, F must be opposite D. This leaves the two middle seats facing each other for B and E. Thus, E must be facing B. We can logically deduce this without needing any extra information.
74. I started facing North and took certain turns in sequence. Which sequence would have left me facing South?
(a) right, left, left, right, right, left
(b) left right, right, left, left, left
(c) right, left, right, left, right, left
(d) left, left, right, right, left, right
Answer:
(b) left right, right, left, left, left
Explanation:
A right turn cancels a left turn. In option (b), you have 4 lefts and 2 rights. The two rights cancel out two lefts, leaving two left turns (90° + 90° = 180°). Turning 180° from North points you directly South.
75. In a certain code, if DEMOCRACY is written as YCARCOMED, then how will the word PRESIDENT be coded?
(a) EIETPRSDN
(b) NOSRPTEIE
(c) TNEDISERP
(d) RSDNPEIET
Answer:
(c) TNEDISERP
Explanation:
The cipher simply reverses the entire spelling of the original word. PRESIDENT spelled backwards is TNEDISERP.
