Given Series:

(Left) 3 1 2 6 9 8 1 3 4 1 6 9 5 1 1 5 9 9 4 2 7 7 8 3 9 8 8 (Right)

Required Pattern:

Odd → Odd → Even

Checking the series:

​(Left) 3 1 2 6 9 8 1 3 4 1 6 9 5 1 1 5 9 9 4 2 7 7 8 3 9 8 8 (Right)

Odd numbers satisfying the condition:

→ 1 in (3 1 2)

→ 3 in (1 3 4)

→ 9 in (9 9 4)

→ 7 in (7 7 8)

→ 9 in (3 9 8)

Therefore, there are 5 such odd numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For the Letter Clusters:

Each corresponding letter in the next cluster is obtained by adding 7 to the positional value of the previous letter.

For the Numbers:

The numbers follow a pattern of decreasing by 9 in each step.

The next cluster in the series is MLP 36.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"..

Logic followed here is:

The third number is obtained by multiplying the sum of the first and second numbers by 4.

Logic: (First number + Second number) × 4 = Third number

For (25, 12, 148) →

Sum of numbers = 25 + 12 = 37

Result = 37 × 4 = 148

 

For (32, 11, 172) →

Sum of numbers = 32 + 11 = 43

Result = 43 × 4 = 172

 

The pattern observed is: (First Number + Second Number) × 4 = Third Number.

Similarly, let's check the options:

For (38, 15, 212) →

Sum of numbers = 38 + 15 = 53

Result = 53 × 4 = 212

 

Therefore, the set (38, 15, 212) follows the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Six friends G, H, I, Q, R and S are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

1. Only two people sit between Q and I when counted from the left of I.

2. H sits second to the left of S.

3. R sits to the immediate right of S.

4. R sits to the immediate left of Q.

Arrangement:

Finding third to the right of G:

From G, moving towards the right:

1^st right → Q

2^nd right → R

3^rd right → S

Therefore, S sits third to the right of G.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Information:

A sits third to the left of E.

E sits second to the left of F.

D sits to the immediate right of E.

B sits to the immediate left of C.

Find the number of people between C and F:

C and F have E and D between them.

So, there are 2 people between C and F.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

The series is formed by an alternating pattern of adding and subtracting consecutive multiples of 3 (3, 6, 9, 12, 15...).

 

Therefore, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 5.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Mapping:

 

Given Equation:

16 B 4 D 8 A 3 C 28 A 2

Replace the letters with symbols:

16 ÷ 4 − 8 × 3 + 28 × 2

Apply BODMAS rule:

⇒ (16 ÷ 4) − (8 × 3) + (28 × 2) = ?

⇒ 4 - 24 + 56 = ?

⇒ 60 - 24 = ?

⇒ 36 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

In each pair, the second set of letters is obtained by adding 3 to the positional value of each letter in the first set.

For GIK is related to JLN →

CEG is related to FHJ →

The pattern observed is: (Each letter's positional value) + 3 = Next set's positional value.

Similarly, for the option XZB-ACE:

Therefore, the pair which follows the same pattern is XZB−ACE.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Codes:

‘LEMA’ → ‘2564’

‘HELM’ → ‘3246’

Therefore, the code for H is 3.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: The series is formed by subtracting consecutive values that decrease by 5 at each step.

For the given series progression →

 

Therefore, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 0.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Statements:

All ships are eggs.

Some eggs are pencils.

All coins are ships.

Conclusion (I): Some ships are pencils: Does not follows (because, We only know that some eggs are pencils.It is not necessary that those eggs are ships.)

Checking Conclusion (II): Some eggs are coins: Follows (because,All coins are ships and all ships are eggs.So, all coins are eggs.Hence, some eggs can definitely be coins.)

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

(Left) $ # @ * & € # 8 * 9 8 2 $ & $ 6 1 2 1 7 5 @ (Right)

Required Condition:

Number → Symbol → Symbol

Checking the series:

(Left) $ # @ * & € # 8 * 9 8 **2 $ &** $ 6 1 2 1 7 5 @ (Right)

Valid symbol:

→ $ in (2 $ &)

Therefore, there is only 1 such symbol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

Each letter in the first group of letters is shifted by a specific sequence of positions (+6, -5, +4, -3) to determine the corresponding letter in the second group.

BQVH is related to HLZE →

HSJQ is related to NNNN →

The pattern observed is: The letters follow a positional shift of +6, -5, +4, and -3.

Similarly, let's find the related word for JOWF:

Therefore, the code for 'JOWF' is PJAC.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

P + Q → P is the mother of Q

P # Q → P is the husband of Q

P & Q → P is the sister of Q

P % Q → P is the father of Q

Expression:

J # S + R & T % Z

Family chain:

T is the father of Z.

R is the sister of T, so R is Z's aunt.

S is the mother of R and T.

J is the husband of S.

Therefore, J is the father of T.

Since T is the father of Z, J becomes Z's grandfather.

Hence, J is Father's father of Z.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Triads:

GATE → ETGA → GTAE

PRAY → YAPR → PARY

Observe the pattern:

GATE → ETGA

From the first word:Last two letters come first in reverse.First two letters move to the end

ETGA → GTAE

3^rd and 1^st letters comes first.4^th and 2^nd letters comes then

Check the options:

Option 2: USER - REUS - UESR

(RE) + (US) = REUS 

Now,

REUS → UESR 

So, this follows the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

Z is 56^th from the top and 12^th from the bottom.

Formula:

Total students = Rank from top + Rank from bottom − 1

Calculation:

= 56 + 12 − 1

= 68 − 1

= 67

Hence, the total number of students in the class is 67.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Series:

(Left) 9 5 2 4 6 5 9 9 5 3 5 5 1 7 6 3 8 5 1 4 4 5 5 9 8 8 9 (Right)

Required Pattern:

Odd → Even → Odd

Checking the series:

(Left) 9 5 2 4 6 5 9 9 5 3 5 5 1 7 6 3 8 5 1 4 4 5 5 9 8 8 9 (Right)

Even numbers satisfying the condition:

→ 6 in (7 6 3)

→ 8 in (3 8 5)

Therefore, there are 2 such even numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

Each letter in the cluster is increased by 4 in its respective position to obtain the next cluster in the series.

 

The pattern observed for each letter is: (Previous letter's positional value) + 4.

Therefore, the letter-cluster that will replace the question mark is UPS.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Number:

6318547

Rule:

Add 1 to each odd digit.

Subtract 2 from each even digit.

Applying the rule:

6 → 4

3 → 4

1 → 2

8 → 6

5 → 6

4 → 2

7 → 8

New number formed: 4426628

Highest and Lowest Digits:

Highest digit = 8

Lowest digit = 2

Difference:

8 − 2 = 6

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

The series follows an alternating pattern where 1 is added to a term, followed by adding the square of a consecutive natural number (starting from 2) to the next term.

For the given series progression:

Code = 16 + 1 = 17

Therefore, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 17.

Hence , the correct answer is "Option 1".
