1. If all the vowels are skipped from the series then which of the following will be third to the left of the tenth element from right end?

A. @

B. P

C. F

D. 7

E. None of these

Answer: A. @

Explanation: After removing vowels (U, A, E), the 10th element from right is '3'. Third to the left of '3' is '@'.

2. How many numbers in the given series are immediately preceded by a consonant and immediately followed by a symbol?

A. 3

B. 4

C. 2

D. None

E. None of these

Answer: C. 2

Explanation: The numbers are 4 (preceded by U - vowel, not consonant), 6 (preceded by ) - symbol, not consonant), 2 (preceded by A - vowel, not consonant), 8 (preceded by $ - symbol, not consonant), 3 (preceded by | - symbol, not consonant), 7 (preceded by P - consonant, followed by ! - symbol), 9 (preceded by H - consonant, followed by : - symbol). So only 7 and 9 satisfy the condition.

A. 8

B. 12

C. 10

D. 16

E. None of these

Answer: B. 12

Explanation: Prime numbers: 2, 3, 7. Second prime from left is 3. Composite numbers: 4, 6, 8, 9. First composite from left is 4. 3 × 4 = 12.

5. Which of the following meaningful word cannot be formed using the letters that come between second even number from left end and forth odd number from right end?

A. Map

B. Palm

C. Glad

D. Flag

SET – 2

Directions: Following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below.

Three-Digit Numbers

785

243

634

397

572

6. After arranging all the digits in increasing order (within the number) what is the sum of third digit of the highest number and first digit of the lowest number so formed?

A. 12

B. 8

C. 10

D. 9

E. None of these

Answer: D. 9

Explanation: After arranging digits in increasing order: 578, 234, 346, 379, 257. Highest number: 579 (from 785), third digit: 9. Lowest number: 234 (from 243), first digit: 2. Sum = 9 + 2 = 11? Wait, let's recalculate: 785 → 578, 243 → 234, 634 → 346, 397 → 379, 572 → 257. Highest: 578 (third digit 8), Lowest: 234 (first digit 2). Sum = 8 + 2 = 10. The correct answer should be C. 10.

7. If 1 is added to each even digit and 1 is subtracted from each odd digit and then how many numbers so formed will be fully divisible by 2?

A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

D. 4

E. 5

Answer: B. 2

Explanation: After transformation: 785→694 (even), 243→132 (even), 634→745 (odd), 397→286 (even), 572→683 (odd). Numbers divisible by 2: 694, 132, 286. So 3 numbers, not 2. The correct answer should be C. 3.

8. Which of the following numbers will be placed exactly in the middle of the series when all the numbers are changed to product of their digits and then arranged in ascending order from left to right?

A. 785

B. 243

C. 634

D. 397

E. 572

Answer: D. 397

Explanation: Products: 785→280, 243→24, 634→72, 397→189, 572→70. In ascending order: 24, 70, 72, 189, 280. Middle number: 72 (from 634). The correct answer should be C. 634.

9. What will be the resultant when third digit of third highest number is subtracted from the first digit of second highest number?

A. 4

B. 1

C. 3

D. 6

E. 2

Answer: E. 2

Explanation: Numbers in descending order: 785, 634, 572, 397, 243. Third highest: 572 (third digit 2), Second highest: 634 (first digit 6). 6 - 2 = 4. The correct answer should be A. 4.

10. If all the prime digits are increased by 1 and all the composite digits are decreased by 1, then which of the following digits appear maximum times in the new sequence so formed?

A. 3

B. 4

C. 8

D. Both A and C

E. All of these

Answer: B. 4

Explanation: Prime digits: 2,3,5,7 → increased by 1 → 3,4,6,8. Composite digits: 4,6,8,9 → decreased by 1 → 3,5,7,8. New sequence: 785→8,9,6; 243→3,5,4; 634→5,4,5; 397→4,10,8; 572→6,8,3. Digit counts: 3 appears 2 times, 4 appears 3 times, 8 appears 3 times. So both 4 and 8 appear maximum times. The correct answer should be D. Both A and C (but A is 3, which appears only 2 times). Correction: The correct answer is D. Both A and C if we consider 4 and 8.

11. If in each number, all the composite digits are changed to their just previous prime number and all the prime digits are changed to their just next composite number then how many times '7' is repeated in the new sequence?

A. 6

B. 5

C. 4

D. 7

E. None of these

Answer: A. 6

Explanation: Composite digits: 4,6,8,9 → previous prime: 3,5,7,7. Prime digits: 2,3,5,7 → next composite: 4,4,6,8. New numbers: 2764→7,8,5,3; 7983→8,8,7,4; 9862→7,7,5,4; 5493→5,3,7,4; 6278→5,4,8,7. Count of 7: 6 times.

12. If first and third digits of each number are interchanged and then numbers are arranged in ascending order then which of the following will be the second number from right end?

A. 2764

B. 9862

C. 7983

D. 5493

E. 6278

Answer: C. 7983

Explanation: After interchange: 2764→6274, 7983→8973, 9862→6892, 5493→9453, 6278→2678. Ascending order: 2678, 6274, 6892, 8973, 9453. Second from right: 8973 (from 7983).

13. If all the digits are arranged in descending order within the number, then which of the following are the second greatest and the second lowest number respectively?

A. 9862 and 5487

B. 9862 and 7983

C. 9862 and 2764

D. 9862 and 6278

E. None of these

Answer: C. 9862 and 2764

Explanation: After descending order: 2764→7642, 7983→9873, 9862→9862, 5493→9543, 6278→8762. In descending order: 9873, 9862, 9543, 8762, 7642. Second greatest: 9862, Second lowest: 8762 (not 2764). The correct answer should be D. 9862 and 6278 (since 6278 becomes 8762 which is second lowest).

14. If all the digits are arranged in ascending order within each of the numbers, how many such numbers are there in the new arrangement in which the positions of all the digits get changed within the number?

A. 2

B. 4

C. 1

D. 3

E. None

Answer: D. 3

Explanation: After ascending order: 2764→2467, 7983→3789, 9862→2689, 5493→3459, 6278→2678. Numbers where all digits changed positions: 2764→2467 (all changed), 7983→3789 (all changed), 9862→2689 (all changed), 5493→3459 (all changed), 6278→2678 (all changed). So all 5 numbers have all digits changed positions. The correct answer should be E. None (since the question asks how many numbers have all positions changed, and all 5 do).

15. If all the digits are arranged in ascending order within each of the numbers and the product of first two digits of each new number is calculated, which of the following original number gives an odd number as resultant?

A. 6278

B. 5493

C. 2764

D. 7983

E. 8962

Answer: B. 5493

Explanation: After ascending order: 2764→2467 (2×4=8 even), 7983→3789 (3×7=21 odd), 9862→2689 (2×6=12 even), 5493→3459 (3×4=12 even), 6278→2678 (2×6=12 even). Only 7983 gives odd product. The correct answer should be D. 7983.
