Verbal
The idiom "add fuel to the fire" means:
It means: make a situation worse.
Reasoning
If A is brother of B, B is sister of C, C is brother of D, how is D related to A?
A, B, C, D share the same generation → siblings (gender of D unknown but sibling).
Quantitative
Simple interest on ₹5,000 at 8% p.a. for 3 years is:
SI = PRT/100 = 5000×8×3/100 = ₹1,200.
Quantitative
Successive discounts 20% and 15%. Effective discount:
100 → 80 → 68 → 32% off.
Verbal
Antonym of "Complex":
Complex ↔ simple.
Reasoning
Find the next number: 8, 6, 9, 7, 10, ?
−2,+3 alternating → 10-2=8 → 8.
Verbal
Choose the correct form: "If I _____ rich, I would travel the world."
Second conditional uses "were" for all subjects (subjunctive mood).
Quantitative
Reading Comprehension (2024 - Real Question)
According to the passage, a major consequence was a significant increase in urban populations due to migration for work opportunities.
Quantitative
Find the compound interest on ₹8000 for 3 years at 5% per annum, compounded annually.
Correct answer: ₹1261
Reasoning
If BOOK is coded as 43 (sum of letter positions), PEN is coded as:
P+E+N = 16+5+14 = 35.
Reasoning
Two trains of lengths 100m and 150m are running in the same direction at speeds of 50 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by faster train to overtake the slower train.
Relative speed = 50 - 40 = 10 km/hr = 10 × 5/18 = 25/9 m/s Distance to cover = 100 + 150 = 250m Time = 250 / (25/9) = 250 × 9/25 = 90 seconds
Quantitative
A number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%. The net percentage change is:
100 → 120 → 96. Net change = 4% decrease.
Verbal
Choose the correct preposition: The meeting will be held _____ 3 PM.
Correct answer: at
Quantitative
Price rises by 25%. By what % should consumption fall to keep expenditure the same?
Reduction = 25/(100+25)×100 = 20%.
Reasoning
If in a certain code, FLOOR is written as EKNQQ, how is TABLE written?
Each letter −1: T→S, A→Z, B→A, L→K, E→D → SZAKD.
