Explanation: Uttar Pradesh sends the largest number of members to the Rajya Sabha—31—due to its population and Assembly size. These members are elected by the MLAs through a proportional representation system using the single transferable vote. This shows UP’s influence in national politics.

Explanation: Under the Tenth Schedule (Anti-Defection Law), the Speaker of the Assembly is empowered to decide on disqualification of a member. The Speaker’s decision can later be challenged in court. This provision ensures party discipline within the legislature.

Difference between terms: +3, +5, +7, +9 → next is +11. So, 18 + 9 = 27.

T→W (+3), O→S (+4), D→G (+3), A→D (+3), Y→B (+3). Apply same logic: N→P, I→J, G→I, H→F, T→V → Code is PJIFV.

Each letter is skipping one in the alphabet: C (+2) E (+2) G (+2) I (+2) → next is K.

Each number is multiplied by 2: 9×2 = 18, 18×2 = 36, 36×2 = 72, 72×2 = 144. So the missing number is 72.

Explanation: The correct meaningful word formed from RTAF is RAFT, which is a small flat boat. All other options are meaningless or not actual English words.

Answer: D. 35 Explanation: This is a series of n² - 1: 1² - 1 = 0 2² - 1 = 3 3² - 1 = 8 4² - 1 = 15 5² - 1 = 24 6² - 1 = 35 → Answer is 35

Numbers increase by 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 → next is 10. Letters: A, C, E, G → skip 1 each time (A + 2 = C, +2 = E...) → next is I.

From the statements, we cannot deduce that some pens are chairs or that all books are pens. Both conclusions go beyond the given statements.

26 Explanation: Pattern is: n² + 1 → 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 3² + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10 4² + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17 So, 5² + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26.

All numbers except 90 are perfect squares: 6² = 36, 7² = 49, 8² = 64, 9² = 81. 90 is not a perfect square, hence the odd one.

The first Five-Year Plan began in 1951.

EXIM Bank promotes Indian exports through financial support.

(5 + 3) = 8 → 8×3 = 24 (6+4) = 10 × 4 = 40 (7+5) = 12 × 5 = 60 → Answer is 60 Correction: Answer: A. 60

These numbers are squares of consecutive integers: 2²=4, 3²=9, 4²=16, 5²=25, so the missing number is 6² = 36, followed by 7² = 49.

Apple, banana, and mango are fruits, while carrot is a root vegetable. It is the only item not belonging to the fruit category, making it the odd one out

Each letter is incremented by 1: R → S, A → B, M → N. Similarly, K → L, I → J, T → U, E → F. Thus, KITE becomes LJUF.

Using the provided codes: N=9, E=1, P=3, A=5, L=7. Arranging for PANEL → P(3), A(5), N(9), E(1), L(7) gives 91357 as the correct code.

Raj's father's only sister is his aunt. The girl is the daughter of his aunt, making her Raj’s cousin. Hence, the correct relation is cousin.

Rearranging the word TRUST to USRTT involves placing vowels in front alphabetically and consonants after them alphabetically. For FAITH, vowels (A, I) come first alphabetically, then consonants (F, H, T) follow alphabetically → AIFHT.

In this series, the first letters are moving alphabetically forward: A, B, C, D. The second letters are moving backward from Z: Z, Y, X, W. So, the correct pair following CX is DW.

U(21) + P(16) = 37. This is a simple summation of alphabetical positions of letters in the word “UP”. The key is identifying positional value of letters

The pattern is placing vowels at the start in the order they appear and consonants at the end in reversed order. “SARASWATI” → vowels: A, A, A, I → AASS, consonants: S, R, S, W, T → IRWAT Thus, it becomes AASSIRWAT.

It is a geometric progression: each number is multiplied by 2. 64×2 = 128. It tests pattern recognition under multiplication.
