Question 1 Reasoning
A man said, "My father's wife's only son is the brother of your mother." How is the man related to you?
- A. Uncle
- B. Father
- C. Grandfather
- D. Brother
Correct answer: A. Uncle
Let us break down the statement carefully to establish the relationship. The man speaks about "My father's wife's only son." A man's father's wife is his mother. The only son of his mother must be the man himself. Therefore, the statement simplifies to: "I am the brother of your mother." Since the man is the brother of the listener's mother, he is the listener's maternal uncle. Thus, option A is clearly the right answer.
Question 2 Reasoning
In the following question, the second word is related to the first word by a specific pattern of letter transformation. Identify the same pattern and apply it to the third word to find the correct option that completes the analogy.\n\nCOLD: FRPE :: WARM:?
- A. ZDUN
- B. ZDVP
- C. ZDVN
- D. YDUP
Correct answer: C. ZDVN
Let us trace the alphabetic shift pattern between COLD and FRPE letter by letter. For the first letter, C shifts to F (+3 positions). For the second letter, O shifts to R (+3 positions). For the third letter, L shifts to P (+4 positions). For the fourth letter, D shifts to E (+1 position). Following this exact pattern (+3, +3, +4, +1) for WARM: W + 3 becomes Z, A + 3 becomes D, R + 4 becomes V, and M + 1 becomes N. This matches ZDVN precisely.
Question 3 Reasoning
Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.\n\nXZYX, XYXX, XXWX, XWVX, ?
- A. XVUX
- B. XTVX
- C. XUVX
- D. XUTX
Correct answer: A. XVUX
Let us inspect the shifting rules across the series: XZYX, XYXX, XXWX, XWVX. Notice that the first letter 'X' and the fourth letter 'X' remain constant throughout the entire sequence. The middle letters change as a pair following a backward alphabetical shift sequence. Specifically, the middle letter pairs are ZY, YX, XW, WV. Moving one step backwards from WV gives VU. Therefore, placing VU back between the fixed outer letters gives XVUX, which perfectly aligns with Option A.
Question 4 Reasoning
A woman says, "She is my brother's wife's sister." How is the woman related to the speaker?
- A. Sister
- B. Sister-in-law
- C. Cousin
- D. Niece
Correct answer: B. Sister-in-law
Let us break down the familial relationship described by the speaker step-by-step. The speaker's brother's wife is the speaker's sister-in-law. The sister of one's sister-in-law is broadly classified within relation terminology as a sister-in-law as well, representing an extended sibling relation via marriage. Looking through the given choices, "Sister-in-law" is the most appropriate, correct option while sister, cousin, and niece denote altogether different specific familial nodes.
Question 5 Reasoning
Which of the following addresses are identical to each other:\n1. Rohit Sharma, Flat 203, Green Park, Delhi, 110016\n2. Rohit Sharma, Flat-203, Green Park, Delhi, 110016\n3. Rohit S., Flat 203, Green Park, Delhi, 110016\n4. Rohit Sharma, Flat 203, Green Park, Delhi, 110015
- A. 1 & 2
- B. 1 & 3
- C. 2 & 4
- D. 3 & 4
Correct answer: A. 1 & 2
This clerical checking question requires careful verification of names, punctuation, strings, and numeric codes. Let us check the variations: Address 1 features "Flat 203" and PIN "110016". Address 2 uses a hyphen in "Flat-203" but contains identical alphanumeric characters. Address 3 shortens the name to "Rohit S.". Address 4 alters the terminal digit of the PIN to "110015". Based on standard matching criteria where minimal structural representation is scrutinized, 1 and 2 present the closest text match.
