Converting letters to their numerical alphabet positions: D(4), I(9), L(12), Q(17), T(20), Y(25), B(2), G(7). The differences between consecutive terms are: +5, +3, +5, +3, +5, +3, +5. The next operation is +3. G(7) + 3 = 10, which corresponds to the letter J.
42. Complete the analogy :
Race: Fatigue :: Fast:
(a) Hunger
(b) Sleep
(c) Energy
(d) Disease
Answer:
(a) Hunger
Explanation:
This is a cause-and-effect analogy. Participating in a race results in physical fatigue, just as going on a fast (abstaining from food) results in hunger.
43. Which one does not belong to the group ?
(a) M
(b) S
(c) Q
(d) D
Answer:
(d) D
Explanation:
Taking the alphabetical positions: M is 13, S is 19, Q is 17, and D is 4. M, S, and Q hold odd/prime number positions, while D is the only even number position.
44. A is shorter than B, but much taller than E. C is the tallest and D is little shorter than A. Who is the shortest ?.
(a) A
(b) C
(c) E
(d) D
Answer:
(c) E
Explanation:
Ordering from tallest to shortest: C is tallest. B is taller than A. A is taller than D. A is much taller than E (and since D is only a little shorter than A, E is shorter than D). The sequence is C > B > A > D > E. Therefore, E is the shortest.
45. Which one does not belong to the group ?
(a) FH
(b) KM
(c) PR
(d) JM
Answer:
(d) JM
Explanation:
Let’s look at the alphabetical gap between the letters in each pair. F to H (+2), K to M (+2), P to R (+2). However, J(10) to M(13) has a difference of +3. Therefore, JM is the odd one out.
