Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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.) (10, 6, 32) (20, 8, 56)
Option 1: (20, 16, 64)
Option 2: (12, 14, 54)
Option 3: (18, 12, 60)
Option 4: (14, 18, 60)
Correct Answer: (18, 12, 60)
Solution : Given: (10, 6, 32); (20, 8, 56)
Multiply the sum of the first two numbers by 2, to get the third number – (10, 6, 32)→(10 + 6) × 2 = 16 × 2 = 32 (20, 8, 56)→(20 + 8) × 2 = 28 × 2 = 56
Let’s check the options – First option: (20, 16, 64)→(20 + 16) × 2 = 36 × 2 = 72 ≠ 64 Second option: (12, 14, 54)→(12 + 14) × 2 = 26 × 2 = 52 ≠ 54 Third option: (18, 12, 60)→(18 + 12) × 2 = 30 × 2 = 60 Fourth option: (14, 18, 60)→(14 + 18) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64 ≠ 60
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as the given number pair. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
As the Sun inches closer to its peak activity in its solar cycle, an explosion has been picked up behind the northeastern limb of the star in our solar system. Solar observatories saw bits and pieces of the explosion, which remain obscured in view from Earth's orbit.
The explosion was spotted on 31 July at around 2309 UT and Earth-orbiting satellites registered a long-lasting C9.3-class solar flare. "The intensity is probably an underestimate because it was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw hot debris flying away from the blast site," space weather, which tracks the solar activity, reported.
While the explosion was powerful, experts have predicted that Earth is not in the line of fire from the Sun. Scientists are expected to get a view of the active region later this week as it comes to sight. Earth is not in the line of fire. The explosion is significant because it may herald an active region set to emerge over the sun's northeastern limb later this week. A new sunspot group could bring an end to weeks of relative quiet," Space Weather said in its report.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word from the passage.
Spotted
Option 1: Witnessed
Option 2: Speckled
Option 3: Splotchy
Option 4: Placed
Correct Answer: Witnessed
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
