CRITICAL THINKING
Option ‘C’ 23 + 33 + 43 + 53 + 63 + 73 = 440 + 343
= 783 not a perfect square 46: (B) As highlighed in the below image, in the
Option ‘D’ 43 + 53 + 63 + 73 + 83 + 63 = 64 + 125 + first row, three cubes get cut. This is
216 + 343 + 512 + 36 = 1296 = 362 is a perfect because the cut plane passes through the
square edge/corner vertex of the cubes. For the
other two rows, 3 cubes will get cut in
REASONING each row.
36: (B) The series follows two rules. B
rule 1: The letters at odd places are
letters in English alphabets written from A
B, C, D, E and so on.
rule 2: The two letters at even places are
the letters which are after and before the
term at rule 1 (above) in the English C
alphabet. First row
37: (D) Either mirror CD or AB is not represent
the image 2 from image 1. 47: (C) In the below image, I’ve shown the parts
that can form into a square.
38: (C) Since a day of the week repeat after every
7 days, divide 59 by 7, remainder is 3 so
(D) (A)
number of odd days is 3, and 3 days after
Monday is Thursday. (B)

39: (A) All tigers are animals, and all herbivores

are animals Option (C) is not a part of the square.
40: (A) The first two have a relationship of Always 48: (B)
and Seldom. Hence, the third and the 4th Conditions i, iii, and iv ==> A and C are
words should have the same relationship under 30, and B is over 30.
which is shown in option A. Seldom means
rarely. Always means forever. Conditions ii, v and vi ==> B and E are
nurses, and A is a teacher.
41: (B) The pentagon when cut along the 2
dotted line would give identical shapes 3 Women under 30 2 Women over 30 3 Nurses 2 Teachers

identical parts.
So A is a teacher under 30.

common to all the three figures -- squares,
triangle and circle. Out of the four
alternatives, only Fig. (B) contains a region
