ANALYTICAL ABILTIY    

Directions (Q. 1-5): Below the  letters and their numeric codes are given and  that of some conditions are 
to be followed while codifying the given letter groups in each question. Study  them and find out
the correct numeric coded form of the given letter group in each question. If none of the coded
forms is correct, your answer will be (d) i .e. ‘none of these’.

  (ii)  If the second letter is a vowel and the third is a consonant a single code is to be used and both
are to be coded jointly as %
  (iii) If the first letter is a conson ant and the last letter is a vowel both are to be code as?

Numerical Sequence / Series Test

In a numerical sequence or series test it is necessary to identify a pattern that is occurring in the sequence.The numbers in the sequence may be progressing, or they may be decreasing. In some cases they may be both progressing and decreasing within the sequence, and in some cases two separate  sequences may be interwoven. It is up to you to determine which of these is occurring and to continue the sequence by providing  the missing number(s) indicated by the question mark(s) in each  question.

The use of a calculator is not permitted in this test.

A time limit of 20 minutes is allowed in which to complete the 15 questions.
