Army Clerk Test Intelligence Test flashcards — 50 questions with answers

  1. What is an analogy in intelligence/reasoning tests?

    A relationship between a pair of items where the same logical relationship must be applied to find the missing term of a second pair (A is to B as C is to D).

  2. In the analogy 'Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?', what is the answer and what relationship is used?

    School. The relationship is 'worker : workplace' (a person and where they work).

  3. Identify the relationship type in 'Hot : Cold :: Up : Down'.

    It is an 'antonym' (opposite) relationship.

  4. In the analogy 'CAT : DOG :: Meow : ?', what is the relationship and answer?

    Bark. The relationship is 'animal : sound it makes'.

  5. What is the analogy relationship in 'Kilometre : Distance :: Litre : ?'

    Volume. The relationship is 'unit : the quantity it measures'.

  6. What does 'Classification' (Odd One Out) test require you to do?

    Identify the one item in a group that does not share the common property/category of the others.

  7. Find the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Marigold, Mango.

    Mango — it is a fruit, while the others are flowers.

  8. Find the odd one out: Square, Triangle, Circle, Cube.

    Cube — it is a 3D solid, while the others are 2D plane figures.

  9. Find the odd one out: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

    9 — it is the only non-prime number; the rest are prime numbers.

  10. In Classification questions, what should you look for to spot the odd item?

    A common feature shared by all but one item — such as category, shape, prime/composite, odd/even, or function.

  11. What is Coding and Decoding in reasoning tests?

    A process where words/letters/numbers are written in a coded (disguised) pattern, and you must work out the rule to encode or decode given information.

  12. If in a code CAT is written as DBU, what is the coding rule?

    Each letter is shifted +1 (next letter in the alphabet): C→D, A→B, T→U.

  13. Using the +1 letter-shift rule, decode the code 'EPH'.

    DOG (each letter shifted back by 1: E→D, P→O, H→G).

  14. In letter-position coding, what number represents the letter 'E' and the letter 'Z'?

    E = 5 and Z = 26 (their positions in the English alphabet).

  15. What is the reverse alphabetical position (opposite) of the letter A, and how is it calculated?

    Z. Use the formula: opposite letter position = 27 − (letter's position). For A (1): 27 − 1 = 26 = Z.

  16. What is a Blood Relations problem in reasoning?

    A puzzle that tests the ability to determine family relationships (mother, father, son, uncle, etc.) from given statements.

  17. In blood relations, who is your 'father's brother' and your 'mother's brother'?

    Father's brother = paternal uncle; Mother's brother = maternal uncle.

  18. In blood relations, who is your 'father's sister' and your 'mother's sister'?

    Father's sister = paternal aunt; Mother's sister = maternal aunt.

  19. If A is the son of B, and B is the daughter of C, how is C related to A?

    C is A's grandfather or grandmother (maternal grandparent).

  20. In blood relations, the son of your father's son is your what?

    Your nephew (or, if it refers to your own son, your son) — generally the son of a brother is your nephew.

  1. What does the phrase 'only son of my mother' refer to?

    It refers to the speaker himself (the man himself), since he is his mother's only son.

  2. What are the four main (cardinal) directions used in Direction Sense problems?

    North, South, East, and West.

  3. What are the four ordinal (intercardinal) directions?

    North-East (NE), North-West (NW), South-East (SE), and South-West (SW).

  4. In direction sense, if you face North and turn right, which direction do you face?

    East.

  5. In direction sense, if you face North and turn left, which direction do you face?

    West.

  6. What direction do you face after taking a 180-degree turn (about-turn) while facing East?

    West (the exact opposite direction).

  7. In direction problems, how do you find the shortest (straight-line) distance between start and end points of perpendicular paths?

    Use the Pythagoras theorem: distance = square root of (a² + b²), where a and b are the two perpendicular path lengths.

  8. At sunrise, your shadow falls in which direction, and why?

    Towards the West, because the sun rises in the East and the shadow forms opposite to the sun.

  9. What is a Figure Series (non-verbal series) problem?

    A sequence of figures that change according to a hidden rule; you must identify the next figure that continues the pattern.

  10. What kinds of changes commonly form the rule in a Figure Series?

    Rotation, increase/decrease in number of elements, change in shading/shape, movement of elements, and addition/removal of lines.

  11. What is a Figure Analogy problem?

    A non-verbal analogy where the first figure relates to the second by some rule, and you must apply the same rule to a third figure to find the fourth.

  12. In Figure Analogy, if the first figure rotates 90 degrees clockwise to become the second, what must you do to the third figure?

    Rotate the third figure 90 degrees clockwise in the same way to get the answer.

  13. What is a Mirror Image?

    The image of an object as seen in a mirror, where the left and right sides are reversed (laterally inverted) while top and bottom stay the same.

  14. In a mirror image, which sides get interchanged?

    The left and right sides are interchanged (lateral inversion); top and bottom remain unchanged.

  15. What is a Water Image (reflection)?

    The image of an object as seen reflected in water, where the top and bottom are inverted (vertical inversion) while left and right stay the same.

  16. What is the key difference between a mirror image and a water image?

    Mirror image reverses left-right (lateral); water image reverses top-bottom (vertical).

  17. Which capital letters look the SAME as their mirror image?

    Letters symmetric about a vertical axis: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y.

  18. Which capital letters look the SAME as their water image?

    Letters symmetric about a horizontal axis: B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X.

  19. In a mirror image, what does the digit/word order do?

    The order of letters/digits reverses left-to-right; the last character appears first in the mirror.

  20. What is a Pattern Completion problem?

    A figure has a missing piece, and you must choose the option that correctly completes the overall pattern or design.

  21. What is the key to solving Pattern Completion questions?

    Observe the symmetry, continuity of lines, and repeating design of the figure so the chosen piece matches the surrounding pattern.

  22. What is an Embedded Figure problem?

    A simple figure is hidden inside a larger complex figure, and you must find the option in which the given simple figure is completely contained without rotation or distortion.

  23. In Embedded Figures, may the hidden figure be rotated or resized?

    No — the simple figure must appear in the same shape, size, and orientation embedded within the complex figure.

  24. What is a Number Series problem?

    A sequence of numbers arranged by a rule; you must find the missing or next number by identifying the pattern.

  25. Find the next number: 2, 4, 6, 8, ?

    10 — the series increases by adding 2 each time (consecutive even numbers).

  26. Find the next number: 1, 4, 9, 16, ?

    25 — these are perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²).

  27. Find the next number: 2, 6, 18, 54, ?

    162 — each term is multiplied by 3 (geometric series, ratio 3).

  28. Find the next number: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ?

    13 — Fibonacci series; each term is the sum of the two previous terms (5 + 8 = 13).

  29. What is a Letter Series problem?

    A sequence of letters following an alphabetical pattern; you must identify the next letter(s) based on the gap/rule between letters.

  30. Find the next letter: A, C, E, G, ?

    I — the series skips one letter each time (gap of +2 in the alphabet).
