    1. AZBYCX
    2. MTNSOR
    3. HRIQJP

  4. Mehak sorts energy sources into renewable sources. Which source must be taken out?

    1. Geothermal energy
    2. Natural gas
    3. Wind energy
    4. Tidal energy
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Natural gas

    Explanation: Natural gas is a finite fossil fuel. Tidal, geothermal and wind energy are classed as renewable sources.

  5. A common square-based rule transforms the first number into the second in three pairs. Which pair violates it?

    1. 10 : 199
    2. 8 : 127
    3. 12 : 289
    4. 5 : 49
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) 12 : 289

    Explanation: The rule is 2x² − 1: 2 × 100 − 1 = 199, 2 × 64 − 1 = 127 and 2 × 25 − 1 = 49. For x = 12, 2 × 144 − 1 = 287, not 289.

  6. Which label should be moved from a natural-satellite display to a planet display?

    1. Europa
    2. Titan
    3. Ganymede
    4. Venus

    2. BCK
    3. CMQ

  8. Match each field of study with its subject. Which pairing would require correction?

    1. Numismatics : Coins

    3. Mycology : Fungi
    4. Seismology : Earthquakes
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Ornithology : Insects

    Explanation: Ornithology studies birds, not insects; entomology studies insects. The other subject links are correct.

  9. Subtract the digit-reversed number from each listed number. Three differences equal 396. Which number gives another result?

    1. 824
    2. 853
    3. 713
    4. 935
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) 853

    Explanation: For abc − cba, use 99(a − c). 853 has 8 − 3 = 5, giving 495; the other outer-digit differences are 4, giving 396.

  10. Find the heat-transfer example in which conduction, rather than convection, is the main mechanism.

    1. Warm air rising above a heater
    2. Water circulating during boiling
    3. A sea breeze forming
    4. A metal spoon warming in hot tea
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) A metal spoon warming in hot tea

    Explanation: Heat travels through the metal spoon by conduction. The other examples involve bulk movement of a fluid, which is convection.

    1. STUVT
    2. PQRPS
    3. KLMNL
    4. ABCDA
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) ABCDA

    Explanation: The two copies of A in ABCDA have three letters, BCD, between them. In PQRPS, KLMNL and STUVT, the repeated letters have two letters between them.

    1. 37 : 63
    2. 86 : 14
    3. 145 : 45
    4. 72 : 28
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) 145 : 45

    Explanation: 145 − 45 = 100, but their sum is 190. Each other pair has a sum of 100.

  13. Classify these animals by the presence of a vertebral column. Which belongs on the vertebrate side?

    1. Eel
    2. Octopus
    3. Earthworm
    4. Snail
    Show answer

    Answer: (A) Eel

  14. Each number is claimed to be the square of a two-digit integer ending in 5. Which claim is false?

    1. 3025
    2. 1225
    3. 4825
    4. 5625
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) 4825

    Explanation: 35² = 1225, 55² = 3025 and 75² = 5625. A square ending in 25 has the form 100a(a + 1) + 25; 48 is not a product of consecutive integers, so 4825 fails.

  15. In each group the middle position should equal the absolute difference of the outer positions. Identify the invalid group.

    1. QFK
    2. TGV
    3. LCO
    4. WER
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) TGV

    Explanation: TGV has outer difference 22 − 20 = 2, but G = 7. The others give 17 − 11 = 6 = F, 15 − 12 = 3 = C and 23 − 18 = 5 = E.

  16. For a first-class lever, the fulcrum lies between effort and load. Which device does not have this arrangement?

    1. Pliers
    2. Seesaw
    3. Scissors
    4. Wheelbarrow

    2. Cone
    3. Triangular prism
    4. Cube
    Show answer

  18. Use the relation change of state : final state. Which pair names the wrong final state?

    1. Melting : Liquid
    2. Deposition : Liquid
    3. Condensation : Liquid
    4. Sublimation : Gas
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Deposition : Liquid

    Explanation: Deposition changes gas directly into solid, not liquid. The other final states are correct.

  19. A valid number is divisible by the product of its non-zero digits. Which candidate fails this test?

    1. 144
    2. 216
    3. 136
    4. 128
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) 136

    Explanation: For 136, the digit product is 1 × 3 × 6 = 18, which does not divide 136. The other divisions are 128/16 = 8, 144/16 = 9 and 216/12 = 18.

  20. The letters of PLANET must be used exactly once each. Which group violates this requirement?

    1. PANTER
    2. PLANTE
    3. PENTAL
    4. TALPEN

    Show answer

    Answer: (C) ROCTOD

    Explanation: ROCTOD forms DOCTOR. The others form TAILOR, BAKER and ARCHITECT, occupations involving making or designing things.

  22. Check the claimed positive-factor count written after each number. Which claim is incorrect?

    1. 45 : 6
    2. 81 : 5
    3. 56 : 8
    4. 72 : 10
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) 72 : 10

    Explanation: 72 = 2³ × 3² has (3 + 1)(2 + 1) = 12 factors, not 10. The other counts are 6, 8 and 5.

  23. A printer lists the subtractive primary colours used for colour mixing. Which colour should be removed from that list?

    1. Magenta
    2. Cyan
    3. Green
    4. Yellow
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) Green

    Explanation: The subtractive primary colours are cyan, magenta and yellow. Green is formed by combining cyan and yellow.

  24. Delete all vowels from each code without rearranging the remaining letters. Which code does not then read the same forwards and backwards?

    1. BACTEC
    2. LEKAKOL
    3. RASTASR
    4. MIOPUM
    Show answer

    Answer: (A) BACTEC

    Explanation: Deleting vowels gives BCTC, which reverses to CTCB. The other results are RSTSR, MPM and LKKL, all unchanged on reversal.

  25. When written as fractions of 1000, three numbers represent terminating decimal fractions equal to an integer divided by 8. Which number does not?

    1. 650
    2. 375
    3. 125
    4. 875
    Show answer

    Answer: (A) 650

    Explanation: An integer divided by 8 becomes a multiple of 125 over 1000. 650 is not a multiple of 125, whereas 125, 375 and 875 are.
