The sentence is talking about events which have already happened in the past and simple future tense ‘Will earn’ is used to predict its outcome. But, ‘enough’ is used after an adjective, thus, ‘to’ must follow it. Therefore, an infinitive ’it’ must replace ‘it will’ to make it grammatically correct. Hence, the sentence should read as, ‘The Book Fair was successful enough to earn at least 10 lakhs’. 2. The phrasal verb ‘to keep up’ means ‘to remain abreast of something who is advancing’ 1|Page e.g. A cyclist cannot keep up with a bike rider.But, its use in the given sentence is grammatically and contextually incorrect. Thus, we need to use the phrasal verb ‘to keep off’ which means ‘to avoid consuming’ in this context. Hence, the correct answer is 2. 3. The word ‘despite’ inculcates the sense of ‘even though’. It does not need to be followed by ‘of’. ‘Of’ is used when a similar meaning word ‘in spite’ is used. ‘Despite’ already brings about the opposite/negative effect. Hence, the correct sentence will be ‘She made her way into the dark castle despite my warnings.’ Hence, the error is in part 3. 4. ‘Than’ is used for comparisons in cases where the sentence uses a word in its comparative degree. But some words like ‘prefer, senior, junior, superior, inferior etc.’ are always followed by the infinitive ‘to’ during comparisons Thus option 3 is the correct answer. 5. While changing the indirect speech into direct speech, if reporting verb is ‘exclaimed’ then we use the connector comma (,) instead of ‘that’ and we use inverted commas (“ “ ) in direct speech ending with an exclamation mark ( ! ). Thus, 3 is ruled out.The pronoun ‘she’ changes to ‘I’ . The tense of the sentence inside inverted commas is changed from simple past tense (was) to simple present tense (am) as per the new subject ( I ). An exclamatory sentence generally starts with ‘how’ or ‘what’ followed by an adjective and then the subject (How clever I am !). Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. 6. In the given statement, what the teacher tells is a universal truth. Thus, the tense of the statement need not be changed when it is converted into the indirect speech. Option 1 and 3 use the reporting verb ‘told’, rather than ‘said’, thus, it is better to prefer a sentence which uses ‘said’ as the reporting verb as there is no specific object present after the reporting verb. Moreover, sentence 1 misses the conjunction ‘that’ which is used after reporting verb in the case of statements. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. 2|Page 7. Note that the given sentence uses the term ‘whether’ that indicates that the spoken sentence is interrogative. To convert an indirect speech to a direct speech, the ‘whether’ has to be removed. Moreover, the statement which has to be reported should be put within quotation marks. The simple past tense (‘was’) should also be changed to (‘are’). ‘Latter’ which refers to ‘Meena’ should accordingly change into the pronoun ‘you’ and ‘her’ should change to ‘your’. The expression ‘senses’ cannot be changed into ‘senseless’ when the speech of a sentence is changed. Thus option 1 can be eliminated. Option 2 unnecessarily uses past tense. Option 3 does not change the sentence at all. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. 8. It can be inferred from the sentence that it is talking about the beginnings of the Mongol Empire, and how it was formed after the unification of the nomadic tribes by Genghis Khan. Therefore, we need a word that would convey this idea. Let’s look at the meanings of certain words: Mortgage: to take a loan in exchange of some property. E. G. It was so thoughtless of Mary to have mortgaged her house to purchase a car. Encapsulate: enclose, contain. E.G. Ghai’s book encapsulates most of the modern philosophical ideas. Emerge: to appear or arise. E.G. Meet emerged victorious in the wrestling match. Clearly, options 1 and 2 do not fit in the context. Now, among the remaining two options, ‘born’ cannot fit grammatically in the sentence, since it needs a helping verb such as ‘was’ which is not present. Therefore, clearly, the correct answer is ‘emerged’. 9. The given sentence is talking about the expansion and growth of the empire during the reign of Genghis Khan. Therefore, we need a preposition to convey the idea of Genghis being the ruler at that time. Clearly, the correct preposition here would be ‘under’, which would indicate that the empire was controlled by Genghis. Hence, option 4 is the answer. 3|Page 10. If we go on to read the sentence further, it would indicate that the sentence is talking about the growth and dissemination of trade, commodities and ideology of the empire with the empires in east and west. It follows from logic that for this to happen, the Mongol empire needs to have relations with other empires in the east and the west. Hence, options 1 and 3 can clearly be eliminated since they convey the opposite meaning. Similarly, option 4 does not make any sense in the sentence. ‘Connected’ conveys the desired meaning in the context. Hence, it is the correct answer. 11. The sentence is talking about commodities, technology and ideology together. Therefore, we need a word that would fit in with all of these ideas. The sentence states that all of these were disseminated across the continent. Since the joining word used here is ‘and’, therefore, it can be inferred that the blank should contain a word that conveys a similar idea to that of ‘dissemination’. Now, based on these criteria, options 2 and 3 can be eliminated, since ideology cannot be brought or sold. Option 4 can be ignored since it does not blend in grammatically with the sentence. Now, clearly, option 1 fits in best in the given context. Hence, it is the correct answer. 12. The given sentence talks about the fact that the empire disintegrated due to the struggle to claim the throne between his grandsons. This is known as the struggle for ‘succession’. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. 13. The word ‘assuage’ means ‘to ease or make less severe’. The meanings of the other words are as follows: Mitigate: to soften or lessen. Inflame: to make more heated or violent. Inhibit: to hold back. Aver: to assert or state a case Clearly, ‘mitigate’ is the correct answer in this case. 4|Page 14. The word ‘inane’ means ‘foolish’ or ‘silly’. Let’s look at the meaning of the other words: Tawdry: gaudy or cheap. Keen: smart or insightful. Idiotic: Stupid or foolish. Pellucid: clear in meaning. Thus, ‘idiotic’ conveys the correct meaning of ‘inane’. 15. The word ‘altruism’ means ‘unselfish concern for the well being of others.’ The meanings of the other words given in the options are as follows: 1. ‘Malevolence’: ‘Wishing evil or harm to others’. 2. ‘Churlishness’: ‘Rudeness’. 3. ‘Largesse’: ‘Generosity’. 4. ‘Bombast’: ‘High-sounding language with little meaning, used to impress people’ or ‘pomposity’. Thus, the antonym of ‘altruism’ is ‘malevolence’. Options 2 and 4 are irrelevant here and ‘largesse’ carries a meaning close to ‘altruism’. 16. The word convoluted means ‘intricate or complex’. The meanings of the other words given in the options are as follows: 1. ‘Simple’: ‘Easy to understand or not elaborate.’ 2. ‘Utilitarian’: ‘Being useful or having a practical purpose.’ 3. ‘Serpentine’: ‘A thing in the shape of a winding curve or line’; ‘complex or intricate’. 4. ‘Laborious’: ‘A task, process, or journey requiring considerable effort and time.’ Thus, ‘simple’ is the most appropriate antonym of ‘convoluted’. Option 3 is the antonym of ‘convoluted’. The other two options are completely irrelevant. 5|Page 17. The term ‘dine in’ refers to the option of having your dinner at a restaurant as opposed to taking out the food to be consumed at home. Hence, option (1) is the correct word to fill the blank. 18. As the preposition ‘since’ is used with a time duration, the sentence should be in present perfect continuous tense. Present Perfect Continuous is used to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. Option 2 is in future continuous, option 3 is used as present continuous In this case and option 4 is in present continuous. Thus, 1 is the correct one. 19. The given sentence is in two parts and accordingly must be joined by a conjunction. ‘and’, ‘for’ ,’but’ are all conjunctions. But the second part of the sentence is in contrast to the first part and hence ‘but’ is the correct answer. Thus, option 3 is the correct one. 20. ‘Lackadaisical’ means ‘lacking enthusiasm.’ ‘Lukewarm’ means ‘moderately warm.’ ‘Warm’ means ‘affectionate.’ ‘Energetic’ means ‘full of energy.’ Hence option 1 is the correct answer. 21. Flux: describes something that constantly changes Exodus: a mass departure of people, especially emigrants. Antiquity: the ancient past Congeal: solidify or coagulate, especially by cooling Flux describes something that constantly changes; like your likes, dislikes, attitudes, dreams, and even friends. It specifically refers to the expression mentioned in the question. Thus, option 1 is the best-fit answer. 22. After the given beginning introduces the subject, the next phrase in the sequence would be the option P, which talks about the subject. After this, sentence S follows in the sequence mentioning what the person has contracted. Sentence R follows next indicating what would happen after a person has contracted a disease, and finally sentence Q provides the beginning to the given last phrase. 6|Page 23. S should follow first in the sequence as it tells what intensity of spank is being talked about. S should be followed by sentence R as it contains the verb ‘have’ which follows ‘can’ then the sentence Q follows as it contains the verb ‘ranging’ and finally the sentence P follows as it spells out the consequences of the same. 24. The correct spellings are as follows: 2. Mentored 3. Targeted 4. Foreign Thus, the correctly spelt word is ‘career’. 25. ‘Illegible’ which means ‘not clear enough to be read’ has been correctly spelt. The correct spelling of the other words are as follows: 1. Perseverance 3. Incorrigible 4. Magnificent Quantitative Analysis sin 𝜃 26. Solution: (√3 tan 𝜃 + 1) = (√3 cos 𝜃 + 1) = (√3 tan 𝜃 + 1) = (√3 𝑟 sin 𝜃 + 1) = √3 × 𝑟 cos 𝜃 1 √3 +1=1=2 27. Solution: Let the cost price of 1 mango be ‘c’. Cost price of 50 mangoes = 50c Selling price of 40 mangoes = 40 × SP of 1 mango Given, cost price of 50 mangoes is equal to the selling price of 40 mangoes. ⇒ 50c = 40 × SP of 1 mango 7|Page ⇒ SP of 1 mango = 1.25c Gain% = 𝑆𝑃−𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝑃 ⇒ Gain% = × 100% 1.25𝑐−𝑐 𝑐 × 100% ⇒ Gain% = 25 28. Solution: Let length, breadth and height of cuboidal chip be 4x, x and 3x respectively. Given that, volume = 2592 cm3 We know that, volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height 4x × x ×3x = 12x3 = 2592 x3 = 2592/12 x = ∛216 = 6 Thus, length, l = 24 cm Breadth, b = 6 cm Height, h = 18 cm Now, total surface area = 2 × (lb + bh + hl) = 2 × [(24 × 6) + (6 × 18) + (18 × 24)] = 2 × (144 + 108 + 432) = 2 × 684 = 1368 cm2 sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 29. Solution: 1+cos 𝐴 + 1−cos 𝐴 = sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 ⇒ 1+cos 𝐴 + 1−cos 𝐴 = sin 𝐴−sin 𝐴 cos 𝐴+sin 𝐴+sin 𝐴 cos 𝐴 (1+cos 𝐴)(1−cos 𝐴) 2 sin 𝐴 ⇒ 1+cos 𝐴 + 1−cos 𝐴 = 1−cos2 𝐴 8|Page sin 𝐴(1−cos 𝐴)+sin 𝐴(1+cos 𝐴) (1+cos 𝐴)(1−cos 𝐴) sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 ⇒ 1+cos 𝐴 + 1−cos 𝐴 = sin 𝐴 sin 𝐴 2 sin 𝐴 sin2 𝐴 2 ⇒ 1+cos 𝐴 + 1−cos 𝐴 = sin 𝐴 = 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝐴 30. Solution: We know that, for given two numbers, L.C.M. × H.C.F. = product of numbers According to the given information, L.C.M. = 1560, H.C.F. = 13, First number = 520 ∴Second number = 1560×13 520 = 39 Hence, the second number is 39. 31. Solution: Let’s call the point 275 m away from the foot of cliff as point S. According to the given information, 𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑓 tan 60° = 𝐻𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑆 We know that, Let’s assume the height of cliff to be ‘h’ ⇒ √3 = h/275 ∴ h = 275√3 m 32. Solution: Formula : SI = (P × r × t)/100 Where, P = principal, r = rate% per annum, t = time in years 9|Page Let the money lent at 5% be ‘a’. Given, total money lent = Rs. 1550 Money lent at 8% = 1550 – a SI at 5% for 3 years = (a × 5 × 3)/100 SI at 8% for 3 years = ((1550 – a) × 8 × 3)/100 Given, total interest received after 3 years is Rs. 309. 15𝑎 ⇒ 100 + 3700−24𝑎 100 = 309 ⇒ 37200 – 9a = 30900 ⇒ 6300 = 9a ⇒ a = Rs. 700 Sum of money lent at 8% = 1550 – 700 = Rs. 850 Ratio of money lent at 5% to that at 8% = 700/850 = 14 : 17 33. Solution: X’s contribution in business = Rs. 25000 Y’s contribution in business = Rs. 35000 After 4 months, Z joined Z’s contribution in business = Rs. 45000 X, Y contributed for 12 months while Z contributed for 8 months. Thus, the profit sharing ratio: ∴ 25000 × 12 : 35000 × 12 : 45000 × 8 ⇒ 25 × 12 : 35 × 12 : 45 × 8 ⇒5×3:7×3:9×2 10 | P a g e ⇒5:7:6 At the end of the year, Z gets Rs. 9000 as his profit share Let the total profit be x 6 6 ∴ Z’s share = 𝑥 × 5+7+6 = 𝑥 × 18 = 9000 ⇒ x = 27000 The difference between the profit shares of X and Y 7 = 27000 × ( 5+7+6 − 5 ) 5+7+6 = 27000 × (2/18) = Rs. 3000 Thus, the difference between the profit share of X and Y is Rs. 3000 34. Solution: According to the given information, Number of total workers in the farm = 420 Ratio of men and women = 13 :17 13 Number of men workers = total number of workers × 13+17 13 Number of men workers = 420 × 13+17 = 182 Number of female workers = 420 – 182 = 238 According to the given information, 4 female workers leave the work, the remaining number of female workers = 238 – 4 = 234 New ratio of male to female workers = 182 : 234 = 7 : 9 Hence new ratio is 7 : 9 11 | P a g e 35. Solution: Let the speed of stream be ‘a’ and speed of boat be ‘b’. In still water, speed of boat = b In upstream speed of boat relative to stream = b – a Given, boat goes 15 km an hour in still water, and takes thrice the time to cover the same distance upstream. Speed = distance/time b = 15/1 ⇒ b = 15 km/hr b – a = 15/3 ⇒b–a=5 ⇒ a = b – 5 = 10 km/hr 36. Solution: According to the given information, The diameter of the kite roll (d) = 14 mm We know that, circumference of a circle = πd, where d is the diameter Circumference (c) = πd = 22 7 × 14 = 44𝑚𝑚 ∵ in one revolution the kite-roll rolls 44 mm thread, and [1 m = 1000 mm], ∴ the number of revolutions taken to roll-in 2200 meters of thread = 2200×1000 44 = 50000 37. Solution: Average age of group = total age of group / total numbers of students 12 | P a g e Average age of group = [(3×18)+(4×19)+(3×20)] 3+4+3 Average age of group = [54 + 76 + 60]/10 = 190/10 = 19 ∴ Average age of students are 19 years. 38. Solution: Formulas: Sum of interior angle and exterior angle is 180° Exterior angle = 360°/n Where, n is number of sides of the regular polygon. Given, interior angle of a regular polygon is 5 times its exterior angle. Using the first formula ∴ Exterior angle + 5 × exterior angle = 180° ⇒ Exterior angle = 30° Using the second formula ∴ 30° = 360°/n ⇒ n = 12 39. Solution: We know the identity, (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + 2AB Thus, the given expression, 4x2 + 4xy + y2 can be written as: ⇒ 4x2 + 4xy + y2 = (2x)2 + (2 × 2x × y) + y2 = (2x + y)2 Given, x = 2.75 & y = 1.5 ∴ (2x + y)2 = (2 × 2.75 + 1.5)2 = (5.5 + 1.5)2 13 | P a g e = 49 40. Solution: Let the total work be denoted by W units. Given that one woman can do the complete work alone in 80 days, therefore ⇒ Amount of work done by one woman in 1 day=W/80 units Let the time taken by one man to complete work alone be X days. ⇒ Amount of work done by one man in 1 day = W/X units Since 12 women and 16 men can complete work in 4 days, thus Work done by 12 women in 4 days + Work done by 16 men in 4 days = Total work 𝑊 ⇒ 80 × 12 × 4 + 48 ⇒ 1 − 80 = 𝑊 𝑋 × 16 × 4 = 𝑊 64 𝑋 ⇒ X = 160 days ∴ A man can complete the work alone in 160 days. 41. 14 | P a g e Solution: We know that, If PAB is a secant which intersects the circle at A and B and PT is a tangent, then PA × PB = PT2 From the diagram, PAB intersects the circle with center ‘O’ at A and B PT is the tangent from the point P Given, Radius = AO = BO = 6 cm And OP = 10 cm ∴ PB = PO + OB = 10 cm + 6 cm = 16 cm And, PA = PO – OA = 10 cm – 6 cm = 4 cm ∴ PT2 = PA × PB = 16 × 4 = 64 ∴ PT = 8 cm 42. Solution: Given that, 1 𝑎+𝑏 =1 1 ⇒𝑎 = 1−𝑏 15 | P a g e 1 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑎 = 𝑏−1 And 1 𝑏+𝑐 =1 1 ⇒ 𝑐 = 1−𝑏 1 ⇒ 𝑐 = 1−𝑏 1 1 𝑏 ∴ 𝑐 + 𝑎 = 1−𝑏 + 𝑏−1 1 𝑏−1 ⇒ 𝑐 + 𝑎 = 𝑏−1 = 1 43. Solution: Given, Aman attempted 36 questions. Let the answers marked correctly be ‘a’. Thus answers marked wrong = 36 – a Now, he gets 5 marks for correct answer and loses 3 marks for wrong answer.

Solution: ∵ Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180° ∴ In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD ∠A + ∠C = 180° 16 | P a g e ⇒ 4x°+ 5y° = 180° ……(1) And, ∠B + ∠D = 180° ⇒ 7x°+ y° = 180° ……(2) From (1) and (2) 4x°+ 5y° = 7x°+ y° ⇒ 3x = 4y ⇒ x/y = 4/3 ⇒x:y=4:3 45. Solution: From the given bar graph it can be seen that: There is rise in production of flavor Q in years 2006, 2008 and 2010 from their previous years. Percentage rise in year 2006 from 2005 = 60−55 55 × 100 = 9.09% Similarly percentage rise in year 2008 from 2007 = 55−50 50 × 100 = 10% Percentage rise in year 2010 from 2009 = 55−50 50 × 100 = 10% 17 | P a g e Subsequently there is fall in production of flavor Q in year 2007 and 2009 from their previous years. Percentage fall in year 2007 = 50−60 60 × 100 = - 16.67% Similarly percentage fall in year 2009 = 50−55 55 × 100 = - 9.09% Hence it can be seen that there is maximum fall of production of flavor Q in year 2007 from its previous year 2006 by 16.67%. 46. Solution: From the given bar graph: Total production of flavor R in years 2007 and 2008 in lakh bottles = 60 + 60 = 120 lakh bottles Also, total production of flavor P in years 2004 and 2005 = 50 + 40 = 90 lakh bottles Thus, percentage of the total production of flavor R in 2007 and 2008 with respect to the production of flavor P in 2005 and 2006 = 120 90 × 100 = 133.33% 18 | P a g e 47. Solution: Average annual production of a flavor = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 Thus, Total production of flavor P over these years = 50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50 = 300 lakh bottles Average annual production of flavor P = 300/6 = 50 lakh bottles Total production of flavor Q over these years = 55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55 = 325 lakh bottles Average annual production of flavor Q = 325/6 = 54.167 lakh bottles Total production of flavor R over these years = 45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40 = 300 lakh bottles Average annual production of flavor R = 300/6 = 50 lakh bottles ∴ average annual production of flavor Q was maximum for the given period of time. 19 | P a g e 48. Solution: From the given bar graph: Production of flavor R in year 2008 = 60 lakh bottles Production of flavor R in year 2010 = 40 lakh bottles Decline in production of flavor R in 2010 from 2008 = 60 – 40 = 20 lakh bottles Percentage decline 20 = 60 × 100 = 33.33% 49. Solution: From the given bar graph: Total production of flavor Q in year 2008, 2009 and 2010 = 55 + 50 + 55 = 160 Average production of flavor Q during these years = 160/3 = 53.33 lakh bottles Also, total production of flavor P in year 2005, 2006 and 2007 = 50 + 40 + 55 = 145 Average production of P over these years 20 | P a g e = 145/3 = 48.33 lakh bottles Hence, the difference between average production = 53.33 – 48.33 =5 50. Solution: The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 100 meter & EH = 80 meter. Width of the path is 10 meter. Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners = [2 × (100 × 10)] + [2 × (80 × 10)] {∵2 is multiplied because among the four parts of the path, two parts have dimension (100 × 10)& two parts have dimension (80 × 10)} = (2000 + 1600) square meter = 3600 square meter 21 | P a g e Now, the area of 4 square colored corners: 4 × (10×10) {∵side of each square = 10 meter} = 400 square meter Total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners ⇒ Total area of the path = 3600 + 400 =4000 square meter Reasoning Ability 51.

Solution: Matrix I 0 1 2 3 4 4 K L M N O 3 L M K O N 2 N O L M K 1 M N O K L 0 O K N L M Matrix II 5 6 7 8 9 9 P Q R S T 8 T S Q P R 7 R T S Q P 6 S P T R Q 5 Q R P T S A) 66 = P , 21 = O, 24 = K, 25 = invalid number 28 | P a g e B) 79 = P, 12 = O, 16 = invalid number, 36 = invalid number C) 95 = P, 00 = O, 22 = L, 44 = O⇒ POLO D) 88 = P, 33 = O, 26 = invalid number, 48 = invalid number Hence answer is 95, 00, 22, 44. 69. Solution: As seen in the given Venn diagram, the area common to all the three figures is numbered 3. As parallelogram represents women, triangle represents subinspectors of police and circle represents graduates. Area numbered 3 represents women graduate sub-inspectors of police. 70. Solution: Solution: Rhombus are a particular type of quadrilateral, which is in turn a particular type of polygons.Thus in the Venn diagram, the entire portion of rhombus will be within that of quadrilaterals and the entire portion of quadrilaterals will be within polygons. Hence answer is figure 3. 71. Solution: All the numbers are multiples of 3, except 32. 72. Solution: In AMBASSADOR, the letters are just written in reverse form. 29 | P a g e Based on similar pattern ‘PROFITABLE’ is written as ‘ELBATIFORP’. 73. Solution: Combining the 2 words and their depictions in sequence, we can infer the following representation of letters: B E N D 5 % 7 @ D R E A M @ 2 % 4 8 Hence from the above table, MADE can be represented as, M A D E 8 4 @ % Hence, MADE can be represented as 84@%. 74. Solution: Let’s check each option, 1) cbbac → cbacbacbacbacba → gives pattern as cba / cba / cba / cba / cba 2) abbac → abacbacbacbacba → gives no pattern. 3) cabbc → cbacaacbacbbcba → gives no pattern. 4) accbb → abaccaccacbbbba → gives no pattern. Hence answer is cbbac. 30 | P a g e 75. Solution: 27 → 3 × 3 × 3 81 → 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 1331 → 11 × 11 × 11 125 → 5 × 5 × 5 Thus, the wrong term is 81.
