Question 1: If TRAIN is coded as USBJM, how is RAIL coded?
- SBJM (Correct answer)
- TBKM
- SBLM
- RBKM
Correct answer: SBJM
Each letter is shifted one position forward: R→S, A→B, I→J, L→M = SBJM.
Question 2: Find the odd one out: 8, 27, 64, 100, 125
- 8
- 27
- 100 (Correct answer)
- 125
Correct answer: 100
100 is the odd one out because 8=2³, 27=3³, 64=4³, 125=5³ are perfect cubes, but 100 is not.
Question 3: If the day before yesterday was Thursday, what day will be the day after tomorrow?
- Sunday

If day before yesterday = Thursday, today = Saturday, day after tomorrow = Monday.

The only daughter of the woman's mother is the woman herself, so she is the man's mother.
