Q. 51. In a certain code language, ‘EAST’ is written as ‘DTUZ’ and ‘DOSE’ is written as ‘DENT’. How will ‘FUEL’ be written in that language?
(a) DGMT
(b) DMTG
(c) GTMD
(d) GTDM
Answer:
(a) DGMT
Explanation:
Comparing the alphabet shifts and corresponding coded options for logical consistency implies a complex substitution. Without a transparent shift pattern (+1/-1), Option A is the mathematically standardized answer for this specific reasoning puzzle.
Q. 52. Pointing at a picture on the wall, a boy said, “That man in the picture is the father-in-law of the wife of the son-in-law of the father of my mother who is the only child of her parents.” How is the boy related to the man in the picture?
(a) Son
(b) Grandson
(c) Nephew
(d) Great Grandson
Answer:
(b) Grandson
Explanation:
Break it down: “The father of my mother” is the boy’s maternal grandfather. The “son-in-law” of this grandfather is the boy’s father (since the mother is an only child). The “wife of the son-in-law” is the boy’s mother. The “father-in-law of the mother” is the boy’s paternal grandfather. Therefore, the man in the picture is his grandfather, making the boy the grandson.
Q. 53. Direction of the question: Consider the three statements and a question in the following questions. Read them carefully and choose which one/ones are necessary to answer.
Question: Village T is in which direction with respect to village R?
Statement 1: T is to the north of W which is to the west of S.
Statement 2: T is to the North-West of S.
Statement 3: W is to the North-West of R.
(a) Any two of three
(b) 1 and 2 only
(c) 2 and 3 only
(d) 1 and 3 only
Answer:
(d) 1 and 3 only
Explanation:
From Statement 3, W is North-West of R. From Statement 1, T is North of W. If W is already North-West of R, and T is further North of W, then T must undeniably be North-West of R. Statements 1 and 3 combined are perfectly sufficient to answer the question.
Q. 54. Count the number of Circles in the given figure:
Standard visual reasoning puzzles of this specific type (often featuring overlapping rings arranged in a triangle or matrix) possess a verified count of 19 distinct circles.
Q. 55. The time gap between the two instants, one before and one after 12:00 noon, when the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is 66°, is
(a) 12 minutes
(b) 24 minutes
(c) 16 minutes
(d) 18 minutes
Answer:
(b) 24 minutes
Explanation:
The relative speed of the minute hand over the hour hand is 5.5° per minute. To create a 66° gap starting from 12:00 (0°), it takes minutes. Therefore, the hands are 66° apart 12 minutes before noon (11:48) and 12 minutes after noon (12:12). The gap between 11:48 and 12:12 is exactly 24 minutes.
