Answer
1-The digits of the number inside the circle are the difference between the corresponding numbers above and below the circle. 
In the first figure, 1 = (2 - 1), 3 = (6 - 3), 1 = (5 - 4)
In the second figure, 2 = (4 - 2), 4 = (6 - 2), 8 = (8 - 0)
Thus, the digits of the missing number are (7 - 5), (9 - 3) and (3 - 1) i.e. 2, 6, 2. 
So, missing number = 262.

2- In 1st row:
7 × 3 = 21, 9 × 3 = 27. 
In 2nd row:
4 × 9 = 36, 2 × 9 = 18 
Similarly, In 3rd row:
9 × 6 = 54. 
∴ Missing number = 4 × 6 = 24.  
3-
Except 91, all are prime numbers.
4-
The top left hand number is obtained by adding the bottom two numbers. The top right hand number is the result of dividing the bottom two numbers. 
Thus, 12 + 3 = 15, 12 ÷ 3 = 4; 
22 + 11 = 33, 22 + 11 = 2; 
18 + 9 = 27, 18 ÷ 9 = 2. 
So, 32 + X = 36 and 32 ÷ X = 8 or X = 4.  

5-
.(b)
Sol. Clearly, number of boys in the line = (11 + 1 + 3) = 15. 
∴ Number of boys to be added = (28 - 15) = 13.   

6-
Divya ranks 26th and Bharati is 8 ranks ahead of Divya. So, Bharati ranks 18th. Number of students behind Bharati in rank = (42 - 18) = 24. 
So, Bharati ranks 25th from the last.  
7-
Number of boys in front of Richard = 14. 
Number of boys behind Richard = (14 × 3) = 42. 
∴ Total number of boys in the column = (14 + 1 + 42) = 57. 
In a column of 57 boys, the seventh boy from the end is clearly 51st from the start. 
Number of boys between Richard(15th) and boy(51st)= 35

8-.(d)

Sol. MUSCLE
9-(b) Sol. PISTOL

10-(b)
Sol. Clearly, U is followed by P; P by T; T by W. 
Now U does not immediately follow S and R reaches last. 
So, the order of reaching office is: S, Q, U, P, T, W, R. 
S is the first to reach office.  

11- (d)
Sol. Clearly, U is followed by P; P by T; T by W. 
Now U does not immediately follow S and R reaches last. 
So, the order of reaching office is: S, Q, U, P, T, W, R. 
P is fourth in the sequence.
