2. 12 members were present at a board meeting. Each
member shook hands with all of the other members
before & after the meeting. How many handshakes were
there?
A: Think of it this way: the first person shakes hands with 11
people, the second person also shakes hands with 11
people, but you only count 10, because the hand shake with
the first person was already counted. Then add 9 for the
third person, 8 for the fourth, & so on. 66 handshakes took
place before & 66 after the meeting, for a total of 132.

A: From 2 and 3 we can say that Radha is the mother of Bawa
and Alka. Since from 4 we can say that Japesh is brother of
Bawa and Alka. Tushar is Alka’s son so the relation in
between Tushar and Radha is that Radha is the
grandmother of Tushar from the mother’s side .
4. Six students Richa , Manpreet , Sona , Pankaj , Anamika ,
Ankita are sitting in a examination hall . Richa is

sitting extreme left to and Ankita is sitting next to Sona .
Then who is adjacent to Manpreet?
A: The sitting arrangement is Anamika , Pankaj , Manpreet ,
Richa, Sona , Ankita .So Richa and Pankaj sit adjacent to
Manpreet.
5. Richa and Meera were walking on the road of a park.
Richa said, “I weigh 47 Kgs. How much do you weigh?”
Meera replied that she wouldn’t reveal her weight
directly as she is overweight. But she said, “I weigh 26
Kgs plus half of my weight.” How much does Meera
weigh?
A: It is given that Meera weighs 26 Kgs plus half of her own
weight. It means that 26 Kgs is the other half. So she
weighs 52 Kgs. Solving mathematically, let’s assume that
her weight is W Kgs. W = 26 + W/2 2xW = 52 + W W = 52
Kgs

lighter than diamond D. Diamond B is lighter than
diamond D but heavier than diamond E. Which diamond
is the heaviest among all of them at the time of
extraction?
• Q8. Which number in the series does not fit in the

6. The present age of Gurbir Singh is 3 years more than
three times the age of his son. Three years hence,
Gurbir’s age will be 10 years more than twice the age of
the son. Find the present age of Gurbir Singh.
A: Let the son’s present age be x years. Then, father’s present
age = (3x + 3) years. Therefore (3x + 3 + 3) = 2 (x + 3) + 10
3x + 6 = 2x + 16 ‹=› x = 10 Hence, father’s present age = (3x
+ 3) = (3 x 10 + 3) years = 33 years.
7. Five newly extracted diamonds were weighed by a
diamond mine worker. In his report card he pointed out
that diamond A is lighter than diamond B. Diamond C is
lighter than diamond D. Diamond B is lighter than
diamond D but heavier than diamond E. Which diamond is
the heaviest among all of them at the time of extraction?
A: Given information can be summarised as follows A < B C < D
E < B < D From these, D is heavier than B, C and thus heavier
than A and E also. Thus diamond D is the heaviest among all
of them at the time of extraction.
8. Which number in the series does not fit in the given
series: 1 4 3 16 6 36 7 64 9 100
