115. Ans: (c) 116. Ans: (1) 117. Ans: (4)

118. Ans: (d) 119. Ans: (1) 120. Ans: (4)

121. Ans: (1)

Sol: 6 × 7 = 42
42 × 7 = 294
294 × 7 = 2058
2058 × 7 = 14406
14406 × 7 = 100842

122. Ans: (4)

Sol: Let the given numbers be A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Then, A, A × 1 + 1, B × 2 + 2, C × 3 + 3, D × 4 + 4, E × 5 + 5, F × 6 + 6 are the required numbers.
Clearly, 228 is wrong.

123. Ans: (1)

Sol: Logic is + 4.
Each letter of the word moved four steps forward to obtain the code.

124. Ans: (3)

Sol: The number of people who drink only coffee is represented by the portion of the circle which is not
overlapped by any other geometrical figure representing the other sets. Hence, there are a total of
25 + 20 = 45 people who drink only coffee.
Similarly, the number of people who drink only wine is represented by the portion of the rectangle
which is not overlapped by other geometrical figures.
Hence, there are a total of 20 + 40 = 60 people who drink only wine.
Thus, the number of people who drink only coffee or only wine is 45 + 60 = 105.

125. Ans: (4)

Sol:

The above diagrams represent the possible relationship between the three sets ants, tables and
chairs. It is evident from the figures that we cannot conclude that all ants are tables. We can neither
conclude that some chairs are not ants.

 4 TSPSC AE

126. Ans: (1)

Sol: The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from April 2004 to April 2005.
Thus, it has 1 odd day only.
The day on 8th April, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 8th April, 2004.
Given that, 8th March, 2005 is Monday.
8th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 8th March, 2005).

127. Ans: (3)

Sol: 90 ÷ 18 × 6 + 30 – 4 = 5 × 6 + 26 = 56

128. Ans: (4)

Sol: Total 28 elements.
14th to the right of 6th to the left of 19th from the left (Since, 19 – 6 = 13)
= 14th to the right of 13th from the left (Since, 13 + 14 = 27)
= 27th from the left = 28 – 27 + 1 = 2nd from the right = 5

129. Ans: (1)

Sol: Students getting 40 and above marks = 70 + 40 + 35 = 145
Students getting 80 and above marks = 4 : 3 : 7 = 14
Students getting 40 and above marks but less than 80 marks = 145 – 14 = 131

130. Ans: (4)

From figure (I), (II) and (IV) we get that 1, 2, 4 and 6 are adjacent to 3 dots.
Hence, 5 dots on the face opposite the face with 3 dots.

135. Ans: (3)

Sol: From the option 3rd, we get:
 10 + 10 ÷ 10 – 10 × 10 = 10
 10 × 10 ÷ 10 – 10 + 10 = 10
 10 – 10 + 10 = 10
Hence, the option (3) is correct.
