Seven people stand in a line. Ramesh is 3rd from the left. Suresh is 2 positions to the right of Ramesh. Tamara is to the left of Ramesh. How many people are to the right of Suresh?

The correct answer is B: 2. Ramesh is 3rd from left. Suresh is 2 positions to the right, so 5th from left. Total 7 people. People to the right of 5th position: 6th and 7th = 2 people.

All programmers are tech-savvy. Some tech-savvy people are introverts. Conclusions: I. Some programmers are introverts. II. All introverts are programmers. Which conclusion(s) follow?

The correct answer is D: Neither I nor II follows. From 'All programmers are tech-savvy' and 'Some tech-savvy people are introverts', we cannot deduce that some programmers are introverts (they could be different tech-savvy people). II is clearly false as introverts are not necessarily programmers.

The correct answer is B: 37. Differences: 5-2=3, 10-5=5, 17-10=7, 26-17=9. Pattern: +3, +5, +7, +9, +11. So next = 26+11=37.

If CODING is written as DPEJOH, how is REASON written in the same code?

All doctors are intelligent. Some intelligent people are rich. Conclusion: Some doctors are rich. Is this conclusion valid?

Q.22 Medium Series & Analogies

If CAT = 3, DOG = 3, ELEPHANT = 4, then ZEBRA = ?

A 4

B 5

C 3

D 6

Correct Answer: B. 5

EXPLANATION

Count of vowels: CAT(A)=1, DOG(O)=1, ELEPHANT(E,A)=2, ZEBRA(E,A)=2. Actually, ZEBRA has E and A = 2 vowels. Wait - checking again: Z-E-B-R-A has E,A = 2. Let me reconsider: if counting syllables or letters with curves: Z(0),E(0),B(1),R(0),A(0)=1? Pattern might be unique letters or vowel positions. ZEBRA = 5 letters.
