1981. How many rectangles are there in the given figure?

1982. Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 79 – 43 + (23 + 75) × 3 – (30 ÷ 15) × 4 = 175 (NOTE: Numbers must be interchanged and not the constituent digits e.g. if 2 and 3 are to be interchanged in the equation 43 × 3 + 4 ÷ 2, then interchanged equation is 43 × 2 + 4 ÷ 3)

1983. What should come in place of the question mark (?) to complete the following letter-cluster series? YBP, WDS, TGQ, OLT, ?

1984. Three statements are followed by conclusions numbered I, II. You have to consider these statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Decide which of the given conclusions logically follow/s from the given statement. Statements: All shoes are ties. Some ties are pants. All pants are buttons. Conclusion (I): Some buttons are shoes. Conclusion (II): No ties are buttons.

1985. The position of how many letters will remain unchanged if each of the letters in the word CHEMISTRY is arranged in alphabetical order?

1986. 21 is related to 59 by certain logic. Following the same logic, 32 is related to 81. To which of the following is 29 related, following the same logic? (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

1987. How many semi circles are there in the given figure?

1988. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (60, 15, 5) (96, 24, 8)

1989. Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the letter- cluster that is different. (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.)

1990. Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? (86 ÷ 43) + (66 ÷ 33) × 2 + 72 – 6 × 4 = 177 (NOTE: Numbers must be interchanged and not the constituent digits e.g. if 2 and 3 are to be interchanged in the equation 43 × 3 + 4 ÷ 2, then interchanged equation is 43 × 2 + 4 ÷ 3)

1981. How many rectangles are there in the given figure?

1983. What should come in place of the question mark (?) to complete the following letter-cluster series? YBP, WDS, TGQ, OLT, ?
