the Main Statement. 2. If x(Q)2y and y(R)z, then x(R)z.
Main Statement : Which of the statements given above
Pradeep becomes either a Director or a isare correct ?
Producer. (a) 1 only (b) 2 only
Statement P: Pradeep is a Director. (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Statement Q: Pradeep is a Producer. Sol. According to the Statement-1:
Statement R: Pradeep is not a Director. 2x t 3y …(1)
Statement S: Pradeep is not a Producer. 3x = 4z …(2)
Select the correct answer.
On multiplying equation (1) with 3 and
(a) SP only
equation (2) with 2, we get
(b) RQ only
6x t 9y = 8z
(c) Both SP and RQ
So, we cannot say 9y d 8z.
(d) Neither SP nor RQ
According to the Statement-2:
Sol. Option (c) is correct.
x < 2y …(1)
75. If a + b means a – b; a – b means a × b; ydz …(2)
a × b means a y b; a y b means a + b;
Multiplying equation (2) with 2, we get
then what is the value of 10 + 30 – 100 ×
50 y 25 ? (Operations are to be replaced x < 2y d 2z
simultaneously) So, we cannot say x d z.
(a) 15 (b) 0 Thus, neither statement-1 nor 2 is
(c) –15 (d) –25 correct.
Sol. The given expression can be rewritten Hence, option (d) is correct.
as, 77. If in a certain code, ‘ABCD’ is written
10 – 30 × 100 y 50 + 25 as 24 and ‘EFGH’ is written as 1680,
= 10 – 30 × 2 + 25 = 10 – 60 + 25 then how is ‘IJKL’ written in that code ?
= 35 – 60 = –25 (a) 11880
Hence, option (d) is correct. (b) 11240
(c) 7920
(d) 5940

Sol. Numbers corresponding to the 80. In some code, letters P, Q, R, S, T
alphabets are being multiplied here. represent numbers 4, 5, 10, 12, 15. It is
For example, ABCD = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24. not known which letter represents which
number. If Q – S = 2S and T = R + S + 3,
Similarly, EFGH = 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 = 1680.
then what is the value of P + R – T ?
So, IJKL = 9 × 10 × 11 × 12 = 11880.
(a) 1
Hence, option (a) is correct.
(b) 2
78. If in a certain code, ‘POT’ is written as (c) 3
ATOP and ‘TRAP’ is written as APART, (d) Cannot be determined due to
then how is ‘ARENA’ written in that
insufficient data
code ?
(a) AARENA (b) AANREA Sol. Q = 3S
(c) AANEAR (d) AANERA So, (Q, S) = (15, 5) or (12, 4).
Case I : If Q = 15, S = 5, then
Sol. POT = ATOP
T = R + 5 + 3 = R + 8.
TRAP = APART
So, T = 12 and R = 4 and finally P = 10.
ARENA = AANERA
Thus, P + R – T = 10 + 4 – 12 = 2.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Case II : If Q = 12, S = 4, then
79. What will come in place of * in the
T = R + 4 + 3 = R + 7.
sequence 3, 14, 39, 84, *, 258 ?
So, no number is satisfying as the
(a) 150 (b) 155
difference between any two of 5, 10, 15
(c) 160 (d) 176
is not 7.
Sol. The given sequence is Hence, option (b) is correct.
3 2 3 2 3 2
1 + 1 + 1, 2 + 2 + 2, 3 + 3 + 3,
43 + 42 + 4, 53 + 52 + 5, …
So, required factor = 53 + 52 + 5 = 155.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
