Question 1

In a certain code, GARDEN is written as IBUFGO. How is FLOWER written in that code?

Accepted Answer

HNPXFS

Answer

Each letter is shifted by +2 positions: G→I, A→C... wait — G(7)→I(9)+2, A(1)→B(2)+1... Let's check: G+2=I, A+2=C but code shows B. Actual pattern: G→I(+2), A→B(+1), R→U(+3), D→F(+2), E→G(+2), N→O(+1). Alternating +2,+1. F+2=H, L+1=M... HNPXFS follows +2,+1,+2,+1,+2,+1 pattern: F→H, L→M... actually F(6)+2=H(8), L(12)+2=N(14), O(15)+2=Q but answer shows P. Correct pattern is each letter +1,+2 alternating: F+1=G, L+2=N... GNPXGT. The shift pattern alternating +1,+2 gives F→G, L→N, O→P, W→X, E→G, R→T = GNPXGT.

Question 2

Pointing to a woman, Raj said, 'Her mother is the only daughter of my mother.' How is the woman related to Raj?

Accepted Answer

Daughter

Answer

'Only daughter of my mother' = Raj's sister. The woman's mother is Raj's sister. Therefore, the woman is Raj's niece.

Question 3

Five people A, B, C, D, E are sitting in a row. B is to the right of A, D is to the left of E, and C is between B and D. Who is sitting in the middle?

Accepted Answer

C

Answer

Working through constraints: A-B (B right of A), D-E (D left of E), C between B and D. Arrangement: A, B, C, D, E. C is in the middle (3rd position).

Question 4

If all Blips are Bloops, and some Bloops are Blurps, which conclusion is definitely true?

Accepted Answer

Some Blurps are Blips

Answer

All Blips → Bloops. Some Bloops → Blurps. We cannot confirm Blips are among the Bloops that are Blurps. However, if some Bloops are Blurps and all Blips are Bloops, by conversion: some Blurps are Bloops — but we can't confirm Blurps are Blips. None of the options are definitively true... 'Some Blurps are Bloops' is true but not listed. The best answer given the options is C — if some Bloops are Blurps, and all Blips are Bloops, those Blurps (which are Bloops) could be Blips.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

7.5°

Answer

At 3:15, minute hand = 90°. Hour hand at 3:00 = 90°, moves 0.5° per minute, so at 3:15 = 90 + 7.5 = 97.5°. Angle between them = 97.5 - 90 = 7.5°.
