In this analogy, the pattern is based on the typical sound made by each animal. A donkey "brays," and the equivalent sound made by a monkey is "chatters." Therefore, the correct relation is: Donkey : Brays :: Monkey : Chatters Hence, the correct answer is Chatters (Option 1).

Let’s analyze the letter mapping in the first analogy: ABDE → FGIJ A → F (+5) B → G (+5) D → I (+5) E → J (+5) The transformation pattern is irregular, but seems to be shifting letters forward by a fixed number for each position. Now check ILM : ? I → N (+5) J → O (+5) L → Q (+5) M → R (+5) This transformation leads us to NOQR. To match the pattern of 4 letters (like in other options), we add R, possibly as a filler or completing consistent structure. So the correct answer is NOQR (Option 1).

The relation is \(n:n^3\): \(1=1^3,\ 8=2^3\). Since \(64=4^3\) pairs with 4, the missing pair for 64 in the form \(n^3:(n+1)^3\) reading the analogy as cubes of consecutive integers gives \(3^3:4^3=27:64\). Hence 27.

Let’s analyze the nature of the activities: Swimming, Sailing, and Diving — all are water-related activities. Driving — is land-based and involves vehicles. Hence, Driving is the odd one out. Correct Answer: Driving (Option 4).

Let’s analyze the patterns in each option: RGTF: R(+1) → G(+13) → T(+13) → F: No obvious letter sequence. MLOK: Reverse alphabetical order (M, L, O, K) — has a near symmetric pattern. CTES: Has a mix of nearby alphabet pairs. VDZC: This stands out because V → D → Z → C shows random jumps, and doesn’t follow an apparent or common pattern. Hence, VDZC is the odd one out due to lack of pattern.

Let’s inspect the numbers for oddness, evenness, or patterns: 443 → All digits are odd 633 → Mixed digits, but also divisible by 3 821 → Prime number 245 → Composite number, sum of digits = 11 Among these, 633 is the only number which is divisible by 3 and not fitting the prime or unique digit pattern seen in others. Hence, 633 is the odd one out.

To arrange words in dictionary order, compare them letter by letter: Dwell Dwindle Dye Dyke The correct sequence is: Dwell (3) → Dwindle (2) → Dye (4) → Dyke (1) So, the correct order is 3,2,4,1 (Option 1).

Let’s look at the pattern in the letter positions of the series DHL, PTX, BFJ: D (4), H (8), L (12) P (16), T (20), X (24) B (2), F (6), J (10) It follows the pattern of increasing each by 4 in each group: 4,8,12 → +4 16,20,24 → +4 2,6,10 → +4 Next should be: 6, 10, 14 → F, J, N? But options don’t fit this exactly. Let's test Option 2: NRV N (14), R (18), V (22) → All +4 sequence again So, the correct answer is NRV (Option 2).

The given series is: 28, 33, 31, 36, 34, 29 To identify the wrong number, let's check the differences between consecutive numbers: 33 - 28 = 5 31 - 33 = -2 36 - 31 = 5 34 - 36 = -2 29 - 34 = -5 We can see that the pattern alternates between adding 5 and subtracting 2, except for the last difference (34 to 29). The correct number should have been 35, making 29 the wrong number.

The age of Rakhi is 12 times the age of Anubha. If Anubha's current age is 3 years, then Rakhi's current age is: Rakhi's age = 12 × 3 = 36 years Two years ago, Rakhi's age was: 36 - 2 = 34 years

If Meena's birthday is on Wednesday, and the gap between June 25 and August 15 is 51 days, we calculate the weekday for Sathya's birthday: 51 days from Wednesday brings us to Friday. Thus, Sathya's birthday is on a Friday.

We can observe that in the given pattern, the numbers on the left are cubes: 27 = 3³ 216 = 6³ 729 = 9³ Now, the numbers on the right are perfect squares: 8 = 2² 64 = 8² 343 = 7² Thus, the missing number should be the cube of 8 and the square of 4: 8³ = 512 The missing number is 512.

We can apply the Pythagorean theorem here. The man has walked 9 km east and 12 km south. These form two sides of a right triangle, with the hypotenuse being the straight-line distance from the starting point. The formula for the hypotenuse is: Hypotenuse = √(9² + 12²) = √(81 + 144) = √225 = 15 km The man is 15 km away from the starting point.

The given statement connects poverty to social disorder but does not indicate that poverty is a type of social order or that it is directly related to social order. Therefore, neither assumption I nor assumption II is correct.

Cost price for 500 books = ₹ 20,000. For 50 free books, the total number of books to be sold = 500 + 50 = 550 books. Now, the selling price of 550 books should cover the cost of ₹ 20,000 and give a profit of 10%. Let the selling price be S. We have, S = 20,000 × 1.10 = ₹ 22,000. The price of each book = ₹ 22,000 / 550 = ₹ 40. Thus, the profit percentage is 10%.

Let the man's total salary be x. According to the given data: 20% of x = Rent = 0.20x 60% of x = Living expenses = 0.60x 10% of x = Savings = 0.10x The remaining amount spent on children's education is ₹ 30. Thus, x - (0.20x + 0.60x + 0.10x) = ₹ 30 0.10x = ₹ 30 x = ₹ 300. Hence, the salary of the man is ₹ 300.
