3. (a)
4. (e)

First 15 element are written in reverse order, then 10 + 8 = 18th from the right end

5. (d)

D.6-10)

6. (c)

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

7. (d)

8 + 5 = 13th from the right end

All the symbols are dropped

8. (a)

No number   Vowels         Consonant

K                 E                 D

9. (b)
10. (d)

Symbol  Number

Number  Letter

Converted letter = number given in the above arrangement => 6

D.11-15)

11. (e)

When all the symbols are dropper, the arrangement will become

C 2 Q 5 G I 8 U N S T 9 O P K 7 Y L 4 J N E 0 B 1

Then answer is 7

12. (d)

E 0 &  this is the only pair which comes under the given condition

13. (c)

Vowels should be coded as its next alphabet letter, consonants should be coded as its previous alphabet letter now the arrangement will become

B 2 P 5 F J % 8 $ V ◊ V R * S 9 P O @ J 7 X ^ K 4 I M F 0 & A 1

14. (e)

(a) Q – G – %

(b) U – W – *

(c) T – O – @

(d) N – 0 – B

(e) 7 – ^ L

In all the options (a, b, c, d) same logic is followed there is only one element between the three letters. But in option e, this logic did not follow.

15. (c)

D.16-20)

16. (e)

There is No such pair

17. (b)

If first fifteen elements are reversed, then the arrangement will be

& C O P * A E 7 ^ 5 K % V 2 Q 9 M Z @ X U 1 I W F 3 # G S ◊ 4

18. (e)

Sum of        consonants  = 187

Sum of        vowels         = 36

Difference   = 151

19. (b)
20. (a)
21. (a)

13 – 8 = 5th

5th element – T

22. (d)

B 3 > E 5 $ T S % 9 X * O # M  4 ^ F ? C @ 2 ! U Z P & 1 + J 7 0 <
