Which of the following answer figure completes the series of the question figure?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic is as,
The image with two triangles, gets rotated first by 90 degrees and then it moves diagonally, in the square and the solid circle shifted from left to right.
The answer figure that will complete the series is shown below:
Hence, 'option 1' is the correct answer.
Select the option that is related to the third number on the same basis as the second number is related to the first number.
8 ∶ 64 ∶∶ 7 ∶ ?
49
94
54
38
Correct answer
49
Why this answer is correct
The logic is:
8 : 64 → 8 : 82
Similarly,
7 : ? → 7 : 72
⇒ ? = 49
Hence, ‘49’ is the correct answer.
Out of the given options, three are similar in a certain manner. However, one option is NOT like the other three. Select the option which is different from the rest.
CDE
GHI
STU
FED
Correct answer
FED
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is:
According to the alphabetical positions of the letters,
CDE → C + 1 = D; D + 1 = E
GHI → G + 1 = H; H + 1 = I
STU → S + 1 = T; T + 1 = U
FED → F - 1 = E; E - 1 = D
Hence, ‘FED’ is the odd one out.
Which of the following answer figure completes the series of the question figure?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
The logic is:
The black colored portion in figure 3 is exactly at the opposite position with respect to its position in figure 1.
The black colored portion in the answer figure that will complete the series will be exactly at the opposite position with respect to its position in figure 2, as shown in option 4.
Hence, 'option 4' is the correct answer.
Find the missing term in the following letter series:
ABC, ___ , DEF, UVW
XYZ
LMN
HIJ
OPQ
Correct answer
XYZ
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is:
Pair of opposite letters are given in the series.
Similarly,
Hence, ‘XYZ’ is the correct answer.
Complete the following number series:
145, 122, 101, 82, ____
65
60
82
96
Correct answer
65
Why this answer is correct
The logic is:
122 + 1 = 144 + 1 = 145
112 + 1 = 121 + 1 = 122
102 + 1 = 100 + 1 = 101
92 + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82
82 + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
Hence, ‘65’ is the correct answer.
Complete the following number series:
32, 64, 96, 128, ___

25 m
24 m
12 m
21 m
Correct answer
24 m
Why this answer is correct
According to given conditions,
Clearly, the distance between I and F = 12 + 12 = 24 km.
Hence, ‘24 m’ is the correct answer.
