LOGICAL REASONING
1. B
Rupas list have the length of the cars in order from the least to the greatest,
therefore,
7.88 cm < 7.89 cm < 7.98 cm < 8.79 cm < 8.98 cm
2. C
Each number is four times the previous number. 17 X 4 = 68
68 X 4 = 272
272 X 4 = 1088
1088 X 4 = 4352
17, 68, 272, 1088, 4352
3. D
Numbers divisible by 5 will have the units digit as 0 or 5.
Hence, the numbers which when divided by 5 will give remainder 3 if they have 3 or
8 as their units digit.
Thus, the numbers between 70 and 90 which when divided by 5 gives remainder 3
are 73, 78, 83 and 88.
Now, only the number 83 from the above four numbers, when divided by 4 gives
remainder 3.
Hence, the number is 83.
4. A
The man says to the woman that the persons mother is the only daughter of her

Coffee is served in cup and soup is served in bowl.
9. D
The number of jumping jacks which Arun will do in the fifth set can be calculated by
multiplying the number in set 4 by 2.
For the first set: 8
For the second set: 8 2 = 16
For third set: 16 2 = 32
For the fourth set: 32 2 = 64
For the fifth set: 64 2 = 128
10. A
U is the father of X and grandfather of W.
So, X is the father of W.
Thus, U and X are the two fathers.
Z is the sister of W. So, Z is the daughter of X.
Since there is only one mother, it is evident that V is the wife of X and hence the
mother of Z and W.
So, Y is the brother of X. There are three brothers.
So, W is the brother of Z.
Hence, X is V's husband

Nylon is a synthetic fibre while wool, silk and jute are natural fibres.
16. C
Fractional distillation can be used to separate the different components of
petroleum.
Fractional distillation is used to separate two or more miscible liquids.
Petrol is a mixture of miscible liquids. The liquids are separated by ascending order
of their boiling points.

The pin used to for drilling, rotates at the same time it will dig straight into door.
Hence, it exhibits both rectilinear and rotator motion.
30. D
Evaporation is an endothermic process. During evaporation, heat from the
surroundings is absorbed to convert water into water vapour. Hence, this process
cools the atmosphere.
