DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES | ALREADY GRADED A

Question 1 (Verbal Reasoning - Word Relationship)
Which word is least like the others?

A) Rapid
B) Swift
C) Quick
D) Slow
E) Fast

Correct Answer: D) Slow

rate?

A) 30
B) 35
C) 40
D) 45
E) 50

Correct Answer: C) 40

Rationale: Rate = 25 cakes / 5 hours = 5 cakes/hour. In 8 hours, 5 cakes/hour * 8 hours = 40
cakes.

Question 3 (Logic - Pattern Recognition)
What comes next in the following sequence?
3, 6, 9, 12, ?

A) 14
B) 15
C) 16
D) 18
E) 20

Correct Answer: B) 15

Rationale: This is an arithmetic progression where each number increases by 3 (3+3=6,
6+3=9, 9+3=12, 12+3=15).

Question 4 (Verbal - Analogies)

1. Dot in Top-Left

2. Dot in Top-Right

3. Dot in Bottom-Right
What will the next position of the dot be?

A) Top-Left
B) Top-Right
C) Bottom-Left
D) Bottom-Right
E) Center

Correct Answer: C) Bottom-Left

Rationale: The dot moves one corner clockwise each time. From the Bottom-Right, the next

1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ?

A) 13
B) 14
C) 15
D) 16
E) 18

Correct Answer: D) 16

Rationale: The difference between consecutive numbers increases by 1 each time:
1+1=2
2+2=4
4+3=7
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 5 = 16

Question 8 (Spatial Reasoning)
