Reasoning for Corrections

6) Option (2) is also correct.The sum of the digits at unit's place and hundred's place is equal to the digit at the ten's place. 

So, in option (2) 891 is given. Here, 8 +1 =9.

8) opposite vertices are joined. With this logic option (1) is also correct.

44) When we take sum of the digits of all the numbers, the question becomes

16 : ? :: 20:18.

So, 20 is 2 more than 18. Similarly, option should have the sum of the digits as 14. 

Here, option (4) is also correct.

45) 13 : 19 : : 31 : ?

Here, clearly 13 +6 =19. Similarly, 31 +6 =37.

So, option (2) is also correct.

47) The options don't match. 

Corrections in the LCT Paper (English Paper)

For Q. 48, Q.49 & Q. 50

The directions for the three questions (q.48, q.49 & q. 50) were missing in the question paper, hence it was not clear on what basis the options were to be chosen, so these three questions should be given bonus.

Objections in the SAT Paper (English Medium)
Q.77.
It should be BONUS
there is a difference between Marathi Medium paper and English Medium paper
In the Marathi Medium paper option (1) is Creditor and Option (4) is Debtor
In the English Medium paper option (1) is Debtor and Option (4) is Creditor
Official answer key says Option (4) i.e. Debtor is correct
but in the English Medium Paper the same option i.e. Option (4) becomes Creditor
Hence this question should be termed as BONUS

Q.83.
