If ratio of area of two equilateral triangles is 36:25, then ratio of their perimeters will be -
1. A6:5
2. B12:5
3. C25:16
4. D36:25
Answer (A)
For similar figures, area ratio is the square of the side/perimeter ratio; so perimeter ratio = √(36/25) = 6:5.

Answer (A)
The rule is first number + (second number)²: 9+7²=58 and 3+11²=124, so 13+5²=13+25=38.

At simple interest, an amount becomes ₹1120 in 4 years and ₹1200 in 5 years. The principal amount is equal to -
1. A₹800
2. B₹850
3. C₹750
4. D₹900
Answer (A)
Yearly simple interest = ₹1200−₹1120 = ₹80; SI for 4 years = ₹320, so Principal = ₹1120−₹320 = ₹800.

An amount ₹3550 is divided into X, Y and Z such that three times of X's share is equal to 5 times of Y's share and 7 times of Z's share. X's share is equal to -
1. A₹ 1050
2. B₹750
3. C1750
4. D1250
Answer (C)
Let 3X=5Y=7Z=k, so X=k/3, Y=k/5, Z=k/7. Sum = k(1/3+1/5+1/7)=k·71/105=3550 → k=5250, hence X=5250/3=₹1750.

Answer (C)
Reading number-then-letter cells, the numbers are cubes (3,27,64=4³,...) and letters cycle in pattern; the missing cell is 8C — 8 fits the value sequence and C completes the letter pattern (so answer C: 8C).

Statement - A man must be wise to be a good wrangler. Good wranglers are talkative and boring. Conclusions - I. All the wise persons are boring. II. All the wise persons are good wranglers.
1. AOnly conclusion II follows
2. BOnly conclusion I follows
3. CNeither I nor II follow
4. DBoth I and II follows
Answer (C)
Being wise is a necessary (not sufficient) condition for being a good wrangler, and boringness is a trait of wranglers—not of all wise people—so neither conclusion logically follows.

In a certain code language, if the word 'GOD' is coded as 78 and the word 'GREAT' is coded as 255, then how is the word 'GIFT' coded in that language?
1. A212
2. B194

4. D168
Answer (D)
Code = (sum of letter positions) × (number of letters): GOD=(7+15+4)=26×3=78, GREAT=51×5=255, so GIFT=(7+9+6+20)=42×4=168.
