NTA Logical Reasoning 2

Question 1

In a certain code, 'MANGO' is written as 'OCPIQ'. What is the code for 'APPLE'?

Accepted Answer

CRRNG

Answer

Each letter is shifted 2 places forward in the alphabet (M→O, A→C, N→P, G→I, O→Q), so APPLE → CRRNG.

Question 2

A clock shows 3:15. What is the angle between the hour and minute hands?

Accepted Answer

7.5°

Answer

At 3:15, the minute hand is at 90° and the hour hand is at 97.5° (3×30 + 15×0.5), giving a difference of 7.5°.

Question 3

If in a race A finishes before B, C finishes after D, and B finishes before C, who finishes last?

Accepted Answer

Cannot be determined for D

Answer

The order is A > B > C, and D finishes before C; without knowing D's position relative to A and B, D or C could be last — but C is definitively last.

Question 4

What is the missing number in the pattern: 3, 7, 15, 31, ?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Each term is 2× the previous term plus 1: 3×2+1=7, 7×2+1=15, 15×2+1=31, 31×2+1=63.

Question 5

Five friends sit in a row. A is to the left of B, C is to the right of B, D is to the left of A, E is to the right of C. What is the order from left to right?
