3) 1. There are 16 teams divided into 2 pools of 8 each.
2. Each team in a group plays against one another on a round-robin basis.
3. The top four teams from each group will qualify for the next round i.e. round 2.
4. In case of teams having the same number of wins, the team with better run-rate would be ranked ahead.

a. 4
b. 5
c. 6
d. 7
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 6
Explanation:
In this case consider the mean of first 5 higher seeded teams (7+6+5+4+3)/5=5 So, it may be the case that 5 teams can end up having 5 wins each.
And hence 1 team will miss the second round.
So, minimum number of wins to guarantee a place would be 6.

2. Cyclops is on the immediate right of Deadpool.
3. Batman is at an extreme end and has Electro as his neighbor.

Deadpool is standing in between which of the following pairs?
a. Antman-Cyclops
b. Cyclops-Falcon
c. Gambit-Electro
d. Batman-Falcon
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: Cyclops-Falcon
Explanation:
Since all of them are facing East, the left and right should be taken into consideration accordingly.
When a person is facing east, ‘Person’s Right’ will be towards South and ‘Person’s Left’ will be towards North.
Cyclops is to the right of Deadpool.
Deadpool is the third from south.
So, Batman will be at extreme end from the north because it should have Electro as neighbor.
Gambit is between Electro and Falcon.
So, the sequence is –
Batman
Electro
Gambit
Falcon
Deadpool
Cyclops
Antman
Deadpool is between Falcon and Cyclops.

8) 2, 5, 9, 19, 37, ?
a. 73
b. 75
c. 76
d. 78
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 75
Explanation:
In this series, we have,
2 x 2 + 1 = 5
5 x 2 - 1 = 9
9 x 2 + 1 = 19
19 x 2 - 1 = 37
So, the next term is
37 x 2 + 1 = 75
|
|
9) In the following question, one term in the number series is wrong. Find the wrong term.
3, 2, 8, 12, 13, 24, 18, 32, 23, 42

b. 13
c. 18
d. 24

Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 24
Explanation:
The given series is a combination of two series.
I: 3 8 13 18 23
II: 2 9 24 32 42
In I, the pattern is + 5, in II the pattern is + 10
The wrong number here is 24 in series II.
The correct number should be: 12 + 10 = 22

20) At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 40 minutes past 2?
a. 150°
b. 160°
c. 170°
d. 180°
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 160°
Explanation:
At 2 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 60° from the vertical.
In 40 minutes,
Hour hand = 60 + 40 x (0.5) = 80° (The hour hand moves at 0.5 dpm)
Minute hand = 40 x (6) = 240° (The minute hand moves at 6 dpm)
Difference or angle between the hands = 240 - 80 = 160°
