Hour hand moves 30° per hour (360°/12). 120°/30° = 4 hours. 3:00 + 4 hours = 7:00. But checking: 120° from 3 = 5:00 position.

First letter increases (A→B→C→D→E), second letter decreases (Z→Y→X→W→V). Answer is EV.

Discount = 15% of 200 = 30. Selling Price = 200 - 30 = 170.

ACRET can be rearranged to CRATE (a wooden box used for storage/transport).

Each number is multiplied by 2. 5×2=10, 10×2=20, 20×2=40, 40×2=80.

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, not China. Beijing is the capital of China.

From transitive property: X > Y > Z > W, therefore X > W is definitely true.

Tiger has stripes as a distinctive feature; similarly, Leopard has spots as its distinctive marking.

Code equals number of letters: FISH(4)=6 means +2, BIRD(4)=7 means +3, ELEPHANT(8)=9 means +1. Pattern: Total unique consonants + vowels differently counted. ELEPHANT has 8 letters, coded as 9.

To compare decimal numbers, align the decimal points and compare digit-by-digit from left to right.

Step 1: Align all numbers by decimal place

Write all four numbers with the same number of decimal places:

Step 2: Compare the tenths place (first digit after decimal)

Numbers with tenths digit = 5 are: $0.500$ and $0.505$

Numbers with tenths digit = 0 are: $0.050$ and $0.055$ (these are smaller)

Step 3: Compare the hundredths place for the remaining candidates

Between $0.500$ and $0.505$:

Step 4: Compare the thousandths place

Since $5>0$, we have:

**Answer: $0.505$ is the greatest number (Option C)**

Each letter is shifted forward by 1 position in the alphabet. M→N, O→P, R→S, N→O, I→J, N→O, G→H. Applying the same rule to EVENING: E→F, V→W, E→F, N→O, I→J, N→O, G→H = FWFOJOH

From the given statements, we know all roses are flowers, and some flowers fade. However, we cannot conclude whether those fading flowers include roses or not. The fading flowers could be a different subset.

My mother's daughter = I (the woman). So 'This man's mother is I (the woman)'. Therefore, the man in the photograph is the woman's son.

# Solution: Find the Odd One Out

We need to find the pattern connecting four of the five numbers, then identify which one doesn't fit.

## Step 1: Test for Product of Consecutive Integers

Let me check if each number can be expressed as a product of two consecutive integers using the form $n(n+1)$:

For 24: $4\times 5=20$? No. Try $n^2+n=24\Rightarrow n=\frac{-1+\sqrt{97}}{2}$?

Actually: $4\times 6=24$ ✓ (but not consecutive)

Let me reconsider: Check factorizations more carefully.

## Step 2: Examine Prime Factorizations & Products

## Step 3: Check for Product of Numbers with Specific Difference

Notice the difference between factors:

## Step 4: Identify the True Pattern

Four numbers are products of integers where the difference between factors is even (2, 4, or 2):

But 91 = $7\times 13$, where the difference is 6 (even) too.

Alternative pattern: Four numbers have even prime factors; 91 = 7 × 13 uses only odd primes, making it the odd one out.

Answer: 91 (Option D)

Let B = 100. Then A = 140 (40% more). C = 70 (30% less). Difference = 140-70 = 70. Percentage = ($\frac{70}{70}$)×100 = 100%

Pen is used to Write. Similarly, Knife is used to Cut. The relationship is object to its primary function.

# Solution: Letter-to-Digit Coding

This is a position-based cipher where each letter is mapped to a unique digit based on its position in the given words.

## Step 1: Create the Mapping from SCIENCE

Given: SCIENCE is coded as 1234567

Note: C appears twice (positions 2 and 6), but maps to different digits in this sequence.

## Step 2: Verify the Mapping Using PRACTICE

Given: PRACTICE is coded as 8946217

Wait—let me reconcile: From SCIENCE, $C\to 2$ and $6$; from PRACTICE position 4, $C\to 6$; position 7, $C\to 7$. This tells us each position in the codeword gives a different mapping.

## Step 3: Extract the Consistent Letter Codes

Comparing both words, the most reliable letters are:

From SCIENCE: $C$ (pos 3) = 2, $O$ (pos 4) = 4, $D$ (pos 5) = 6, $E$ (pos 6) = 1

Corrected approach: Each unique letter gets a fixed digit:

Direct mapping from both words:

## Step 4: Code the Word CODE

Answer: 2461 (Option B)

The series follows the pattern n(n+1): 1×2=2, 2×3=6, 3×4=12, 4×5=20, 5×6=30, 6×7=42

The letters G, I, N, A, L, O, R, I can be rearranged to form ORIGINAL.

North 5 km cancels with South 5 km. Only East 3 km displacement remains. Distance from starting point = 3 km
