Question : Directions: Three of the following four triads are alike in a certain way as they are formed by performing the same mathematical operations among themselves and thus form a group. Which triad does not belong to that group?
Option 1: 11 : 21 : 121
Option 2: 2 : 3 : 4
Option 3: 7 : 15 : 49
Option 4: 9 : 17 : 81
Correct Answer: 7 : 15 : 49
Solution : Let's check the given options –
First option: (11 : 21 : 121)→11 + (11 – 1) = 11 + 10 = 21; 112 = 121
Second option: (2 : 3 : 4)→2 + (2 – 1) = 2 + 1 = 3; 22 = 4
Third option: (7 : 15 : 49)→7 + (7 – 1) = 7 + 6 = 13 ≠ 15; 72 = 49
Fourth option: (9 : 17 : 81)→9 + (9 – 1) = 9 + 8 = 17; 92 = 81
Therefore, only the third option does not follow the pattern of the others. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Direction: X goes 15 metres North, then turns right and walks 20 metres. then again turns right and walks 10 metres, then again turns right and walks 20 metres. How many metres has he travelled from his original position?
Option 1: 5 m
Option 2: 10 m
Option 3: 15 m
Option 4: 20 m
Correct Answer: 5 m
Solution : As per the given information, the movement of X will look as follows –
According to the above figure, the distance that X has traveled from his original position = AE = 5 m.
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Three bottles of equal capacity contain mixtures of milk and water in ratios 2 : 5, 3 : 4, and 4 : 5. These three bottles are emptied into a large bottle. What will be the ratio of milk and water respectively in the large bottle?
Option 1: 73 : 106
Option 2: 73 : 116
Option 3: 73 : 113
Option 4: 73 : 189
Correct Answer: 73 : 116
Solution : Let the capacity of each bottle be $x$ units.
Bottle 1 has milk : water = 2 : 5
Bottle 2 has milk : water = 3 : 4
Bottle 3 has milk : water = 4 : 5
Bottle 1 contains milk = $\frac{2x}{7}$, water = $\frac{5x}{7}$
Bottle 2 contains milk = $\frac{3x}{7}$, water = $\frac{4x}{7}$
Bottle 3 contains milk = $\frac{4x}{9}$, water = $\frac{5x}{9}$
When mixed, the ratio of milk and water is:
$= (\frac{2x}{7}+\frac{3x}{7}+\frac{4x}{9}) : (\frac{5x}{7}+\frac{4x}{7}+\frac{5x}{9})$
$= (\frac{18x+27x+28x}{63}) : (\frac{45x+36x+35x}{63})$
$= 73: 116$
Hence, the correct answer is 73 : 116.

Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
5, 9, 13, 17, ?, 25
Option 1: 27
Option 2: 23
Option 3: 21
Option 4: 19
Correct Answer: 21
Solution : Given:
5, 9, 13, 17, ?, 25
In the given series, add 4 to the previous term to get the next term.
5 + 4 = 9; 9 + 4 = 13; 13 + 4 = 17; 17 + 4 = 21; 21 + 4 = 25
So, the missing number is 21. Hence, the third option is correct.
