Paper & answer key PDFFind the odd word/letters/number pair from the given alternatives.
For all other pairs, the second number is a multiple of the first number (3×4 = 12, 2×3 = 6, 6×7 = 42). But 5×7 = 35 is inconsistent in the pattern (jump from ×3 to ×4 to ×7). So, it's the odd one out.

Paper & answer key PDFFind the wrong number in the series. 225, 206, 188, 176, 165, 158, 153
The differences are: -19, -18, -12, -11, -7, -5. The pattern is not consistent with 225 as the starting number. If we start from 206 and apply this pattern backward, 225 doesn’t fit. Hence, it's the incorrect number.
Paper & answer key PDFThe sum of the ages of father and a son presently is 70 years. After 10 years, the son’s age is exactly half that of the father. What are their ages now?
Let the father's age be F and son's age be S. F + S = 70 In 10 years: F + 10 = 2 × (S + 10) Substitute S = 70 - F into second equation: F + 10 = 2 × (70 - F + 10) F + 10 = 2 × (80 - F) F + 10 = 160 - 2F 3F = 150 → F = 50, S = 20

Paper & answer key PDFIf \(x + \dfrac{1}{x} \neq 0\) and \(x^{3} + \dfrac{1}{x^{3}} = 0\), then the value of \(\left(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\right)^{4}\) is:
Step 1 – Factor the cubic identity: \(x^{3} + \dfrac{1}{x^{3}} = \left(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\right)\left(x^{2} - 1 + \dfrac{1}{x^{2}}\right) = 0\) Since \(x + \dfrac{1}{x} \neq 0\), we get \(x^{2} + \dfrac{1}{x^{2}} = 1\). Step 2 – Use the square identity: \(\left(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\right)^{2} = x^{2} + \dfrac{1}{x^{2}} + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3\) Step 3 – Raise to the 4th power: \(\left(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\right)^{4} = 3^{2} = 9\) Hence the answer is 9 (Option 1).
