2) Arnav is 2 times older than Suman, who is 6 years older than Preetha. If Preetha’s age is 10 years, then which of the following statements is true?
I. Arnav’s age is 32 years old.
II. The addition of the ages of Suman and Preetha is less than Arnav.
a) Only statement I is true
b) Only statement II is true
c) Both statements I and II are true
d) Neither statement I nor II is true
Answer: c
Given, Preetha’s age (P) = 10 years
Arnav (A) is 2 times older than Suman (S) ⇒ A = 2 × S
Suman (S) is 6 years older than Preetha (P) ⇒ S = P + 6
⇒ S = 10 + 6 = 16 years
⇒ A = 2 × 16 = 32 years
S + P = 16 + 10 = 26 < 32
Hence, both statement I and II are true.
3) A term is missing in the given series. Choose the correct option from the given alternatives that complete the given series.
EG12, HJ18, KM24, NP30, QS36,?
a) TV42

5) Find the missing number in the given pattern, from the given set of alternatives.
a) 46
b) 49
c) 51
d) 48
Answer: b
The logic followed in the given pattern is,
Third row: (2 + 3) + 3 = 8, (3 + 4) + 3 = 10, (4 + 5) + 3 = 12
Second row: (8 + 10) + 3 = 21, (10 + 12) + 3 = 25
First row: (21 + 25) + 3 = 49
Hence 49, is the missing number.
6) Find out the odd pair of letters from the given set of alternatives.
a) CG
b) KW
c) IV

I + V = 9 + 22 = 31 ⇒ odd number
B + F = 2 + 6 = 8 ⇒ even number
Hence, IV is the odd one out
