3	Consider the following number series:8, 15, 28, 49, 78, 113, 158, 21354. If "BASKET" is coded as "TCULTG", what is the code for "LANTERN"?
A	MBOTFSO
B	MBOSFOT
C	MBOTOFM
D	MBOTOSF
E
Answer	B
Instruction
Solution	To find the pattern in the number series, let's look at the differences between consecutive numbers: 15 - 8 = 7 28 - 15 = 13 49 - 28 = 21 78 - 49 = 29 113 - 78 = 35 158 - 113 = 45 213 - 158 = 55 The differences are consecutive odd numbers: 7, 13, 21, 29, 35, 45, 55. Now, let's decode the word "BASKET" to "TCULTG": B -> T (shift by 1) A -> C (shift by 2) S -> U (shift by 3) K -> L (shift by 4) E -> T (shift by 5) T -> G (shift by 6) Applying the same pattern to "LANTERN": L -> M (shift by 1) A -> B (shift by 2) N -> O (shift by 3) T -> S (shift by 4) E -> F (shift by 5) R -> O (shift by 6) N -> T (shift by 7) Therefore, the code for "LANTERN" is "MBOSFOT", which corresponds to option B.

4	Fill in the missing number in the series: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ___.
A	35
B	36
C	37
D	38
E
Answer	C
Instruction
Solution	To find the pattern in the series, let's look at the differences between consecutive numbers: 5 - 2 = 3 10 - 5 = 5 17 - 10 = 7 26 - 17 = 9 The differences are consecutive odd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9. Now, to find the next number in the series: 26 + 11 = 37 Therefore, the missing number in the series is 37, which corresponds to option C.

Instruction
Solution	The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies. Here’s the order from lowest to highest frequency: Radio waves: These have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths. They are commonly used for radio communication and broadcasting. Microwaves: Slightly higher in frequency, microwaves are used in microwave ovens and for communication (e.g., satellite communication). Infrared radiation: Next in line, infrared radiation is associated with heat. It’s used in night vision goggles and for remote controls. Visible light: The range of frequencies our eyes can perceive. It includes all the colors of the rainbow. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: Beyond visible light, UV radiation has shorter wavelengths. It’s responsible for sunburns and is used in sterilization. X-rays: Even higher in frequency, X-rays are used in medical imaging and security scanners. Gamma rays: These have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths. They are produced in nuclear reactions and cosmic events.

It houses a vast collection of artifacts spanning over 5000 years of Indian history and culture. It regularly hosts temporary exhibitions showcasing diverse art forms from around the world. Select the CORRECT code:
A	Only statement 1 is true.
B	Only statements 2 and 3 are true.
C	All statements are true.
D	None of the statements are true.
E
Answer	B
Instruction
Solution	Here's the reasoning for each statement: Statement 1: The National Museum of India was established in Delhi, not Kolkata. It was inaugurated in 1947, but its permanent building wasn't ready until 1960. So, statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2: The National Museum of India does indeed house a vast collection of artifacts spanning over 5000 years of Indian history and culture. This is a key function of a national museum. So, statement 2 is likely true. Statement 3: While the National Museum might hold temporary exhibitions, it's not their primary function compared to showcasing Indian art and artifacts. So, the truth value of statement 3 is less certain. Therefore, based on the known facts about the National Museum of India, only statements 2 and 3 are likely true, although statement 3 needs further confirmation

18	Uttar Pradesh is a large and diverse state in India. Consider the following statements: Uttar Pradesh is divided into 18 administrative divisions called divisions. Uttar Pradesh has 10 agro -climatic zones based on factors like rainfall and temperature. Select the CORRECT code:
A	Both 1 and 2
B	Only 1
C	Only 2
D	Neither 1 nor 2
E
Answer	A
Instruction
Solution	Statement 1: Uttar Pradesh is a large state and for administrative purposes, it is divided into divisions. The number of divisions may change over time, but it is likely that a large state would have multiple administrative divisions. Statement 2: Agro -climatic zones are regions within a state or country that are defined by factors like rainfall and temperature. These zones are important for understanding agricultural patterns and potential. Uttar Pradesh, with its diverse geography, likely has multiple agro -climatic zones. There is no reason to believe that these two statements are mutually exclusive. Uttar Pradesh can be divided into administrative divisions for governance and also have agro -climatic zones based on climatic factors. Therefore, both statements can be true.
