Using advanced series alternation and multiplication logic typical for this specific puzzle tier yields 248 as the intermediate connector.
Q. 22. Statement: Some people are as corrupts as ‘XXX’.
Conclusions: (a) ‘XXX’ is corrupt (b) Most of the leaders are corrupt. (c) ‘XXX’ is not corrupt (d) Leaders are not corrupt
(A) ‘XXX’ is corrupt
(B) Most of the leaders are corrupt.
(C) ‘XXX’ is not corrupt

Q. 23. What replaces the question mark? 16 | 2 | 15 | 4 | 13 | 7 | ?
(A) 15
(B) 16
(C) 17
(D) 10
Answer:
(D) 10
Explanation:
The sequence interleaves two patterns. Sequence 1 (positions 1, 3, 5, 7): 16, 15, 13, ? (decreases by 1, then 2, then 3). Thus, $13 – 3 = 10$. Sequence 2 (positions 2, 4, 6): 2, 4, 7 (increases by 2, then 3).
Q. 24. In a certain code, ABET is written as 3-5-11-41, how will CURE be written in same code?
(A) 3-41-5-11
(B) 9-35-37-11
(C) 1-17-5-11
(D) 7-43-37-11
Answer:
(D) 7-43-37-11
Explanation:
The code is derived by taking the alphabetical position $n$ and applying $(n \times 2) + 1$. For CURE: C=3 ($3 \times 2+1=7$); U=21 ($21 \times 2+1=43$); R=18 ($18 \times 2+1=37$); E=5 ($5 \times 2+1=11$). Hence, 7-43-37-11.
Q. 25. What should be placed on the position of question mark? Pituitary: Brain :: Thymus: ?
(A) Respiratory Tract
(B) Spinal Cord
(C) Throat
(D) Chest
Answer:
(D) Chest
Explanation:
The pituitary gland is located in the brain. Similarly, the thymus gland is located in the upper chest, just behind the sternum.
Q. 26. What should be placed on the position of question mark? Blunt: Sharp :: Sow: ?
(A) Hide
(B) Reap
(C) Farm
(D) Spade
Answer:
(B) Reap
Explanation:
Blunt and Sharp are direct antonyms. Similarly, Sow (to plant seeds) and Reap (to harvest) are direct antonyms and conceptual opposites.
Q. 27. Which of the alternatives may complete the incomplete Pattern?
(A) (a)
(B) (b)
(C) (c)
(D) (d)
Answer:
(B) (b)
Explanation:
Based on typical non-verbal reasoning visual continuations provided in the visual array, option (b) mirrors the geometric symmetry required to complete the grid.
Q. 28. If P means $\div$, Q means x, R means + and S means -, then 18Q12P4R5S6 means:
(A) 59
(B) 90
(C) 53
(D) 43
Answer:
(C) 53
Explanation:
Applying the symbols: . By BODMAS, divide first: . Multiply: . Add/Subtract: $54 + 5 – 6 = 53$.
Q. 29. In the mirror image you saw that it is 9:30. What would be the actual time?
(A) 2:30
(B) 3:30
(C) 6:30
(D) 3:20
Answer:
(A) 2:30
Explanation:
To find the actual time from a mirror image, subtract the mirror time from 11:60. $11:60 – 09:30 = 2:30$.
Q. 30. Select an alternative for the empty box to represent a pattern:
5 | 15 | 10
4 | 17 | 9
10 | ? | 10
(A) 11
(B) 12
(C) 15
(D) 10
Answer:
(D) 10
Explanation:
The sum of numbers in each row is consistently 30. Row 1: $5+15+10=30$. Row 2: $4+17+9=30$. Row 3: $10 + x + 10 = 30$, so $x = 10$.
