ICET Analytical Ability 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a coding system, MANGO is coded as NBOHP. How is GRAPE coded?
- HSBQF (Correct answer)
- FQZOD
- HSAQF
- HRBQF
Correct answer: HSBQF
Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet (M→N, A→B, N→O, G→H, O→P), so GRAPE becomes HSBQF.
Question 2: A is the father of B. C is the sister of B. D is the husband of A's sister. How is D related to C?
- Uncle (Correct answer)
- Cousin
- Brother
- Father
Correct answer: Uncle
D is married to A's sister, making D the uncle of A's children; C is A's child, so D is C's uncle.
Question 3: Find the missing number: 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, ?
- 38 (Correct answer)
- 36
- 40
- 34
Correct answer: 38
The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (odd numbers increasing by 2), so 27 + 11 = 38.
Question 4: Data Sufficiency: Is integer N divisible by 6? Statement 1: N is divisible by 3. Statement 2: N is divisible by 2.
- Both statements together are sufficient (Correct answer)
- Statement 1 alone is sufficient
- Statement 2 alone is sufficient
- Neither statement is sufficient
Correct answer: Both statements together are sufficient
N divisible by both 3 and 2 means it is divisible by 6 since gcd(2,3)=1; neither statement alone suffices.
Question 5: Pointing to a photograph, Ravi says, 'She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son.' How is the girl in the photograph related to Ravi?
- Sister (Correct answer)
- Cousin
- Niece
- Daughter
Correct answer: Sister
Ravi's grandfather's only son is Ravi's father, so the girl is Ravi's father's daughter — his sister.
Question 6: In a row of students, Priya is 14th from the left and 9th from the right. How many students are in the row?
- 22 (Correct answer)
- 23
- 21
- 24
Correct answer: 22
Total = (position from left) + (position from right) − 1 = 14 + 9 − 1 = 22.
Question 7: A train travels 60 km in the first hour and 80 km in the second hour. What is the average speed?
- 70 km/h (Correct answer)
- 72 km/h
- 68 km/h
- 75 km/h
Correct answer: 70 km/h
Average speed = total distance / total time = (60 + 80) / 2 = 70 km/h.
