Seven friends Ram, Raju, Raj, Sonu, Chotu, Dev and Sona are sitting in a straight line facing to north direction. Two persons are sitting between Ram and Raju. Sonu is sitting just right of Raju but just left of Dev, who is sitting at one of the extreme ends. Raj is on the immediate left of Chotu and Sona is not sitting at the extreme right end. Who is sitting third from the right end?
Sona

Find the wrong term in the following series.
X3, U9, R27, O81, L343
U9
R27
O81
L343
Correct answer
L343
Why this answer is correct
Given series: X3, U9, R27, O81, L343
The logic followed for the alphabet is:
The logic followed for the number is:
31 = 3
32 = 9
33 = 27
34 = 81
35 = 243
But, the number with L in the Alphabetical series is 343.
Hence, L343 is the wrong term in the series.

In the following question assuming the given statements to be True, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.
Statement: P ≥ S = M > T ≤ J < N
Conclusions:
I. T < N
II. M > T
III. M > S
IV. S = T
Only conclusion III is true
Both conclusions I and II are true
Either conclusion I or II and III are true
All are true
Correct answer
Both conclusions I and II are true
Why this answer is correct
Given statements: P ≥ S = M > T ≤ J < N
I. T < N → True (as T ≤ S < N)
II. M > T → True (as M > T)
III. M > S → False (as S = M)
IV. S = T → False (as S = M > T)
Hence, both conclusions I and II are true.
Select the number that will come next in the given series.
702, 350, 174, 86, 42, ?
15
12
17
20
Correct answer
20
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed is,
Hence, “20” is the correct answer.
