If PEN is coded as 80 and NET is coded as 65, how is TEN coded?
Answer: A
P=16, E=5, N=14: 16+5+14=35×2=70? Rechecking: If each letter = position value, PEN=16+5+14=35. If coded as 80, factor is 3580≈2.29. Using A=1...Z=26: P(16)+E(5)+N(14)=35. NET=N(14)+E(5)+T(20)=39. If NET=65, then 3965≈1.67. TEN=T(20)+E(5)+N(14)=39. Using ratio from NET: 39×(3965)=65? Or TEN=60 by different pattern.

In a puzzle box, 5 items (Watch, Pen, Ring, Chain, Locket) are placed in 5 boxes. Watch is not in box 1 or 5. Ring is in box 3. Pen is immediately to the left of Chain. Locket is not adjacent to Ring. How many valid arrangements exist?
Answer: B
With Ring at box 3, Pen-Chain in consecutive positions (boxes 1-2 or 4-5), Watch not at 1 or 5, and Locket not at 2 or 4, only 2 arrangements satisfy all constraints.
Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, V are ranked. T ranks higher than R. U ranks higher than Q but lower than S. P ranks lowest. How many students rank lower than Q?

The conclusion doesn't necessarily follow. 'Some intelligent' doesn't confirm 'some scholars' are ambitious, as the overlap between scholars and ambitious people is not established.
Q.98Medium
Find the odd one out: 144, 169, 196, 225, 289, 324
Answer: C
All are perfect squares of consecutive numbers (12², 13², 14², 15², ?, 18²). 289 = 17² breaks the pattern slightly, but actually all fit. Review: 324 = 18², so sequence has gaps. 289 = 17² is the odd one as it breaks the consecutive pattern.
Q.99Easy
