92. A watch shows 7:30. its minute hand points towards East, in which direction will the hour hand point?
(a) West
(b) North West
(c) South East
(d) South West
Answer:
(c) South East
Explanation:
On a standard clock showing 7:30, the minute hand points exactly at the 6 (which is normally South), and the hour hand is exactly halfway between the 7 and 8 (normally South-West). If the clock is rotated so that the minute hand at 6 points East, then the 9 position becomes South. Since the hour hand (between 7 and 8) lies between the 6 and the 9, it will point between East and South, which is South-East.

(c) L-N
Explanation:
The word “IRRATIONAL” contains 10 letters. When arranged in alphabetical order, the sequence is: A, A, I, I, L, N, O, R, R, T. Since there are 10 letters, the middle pair consists of the 5th and 6th letters in the arranged sequence, which are L and N.
94. Find the missing number in the series 2, 7, 17, 32, 52, 77, ___

Answer:
(a) 107
