-2, 5, 24, 61, 122, 213, ?
240
340
341
313
Correct answer
340
Why this answer is correct
If we see the pattern carefully then we can observe that
13 – 3 = -2
23 – 3 = 5
33 – 3 = 24
43 – 3 = 61
53 – 3 = 122
63 – 3 = 213
Therefore, the next term is, 73 – 3 = 340
The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown in the figures. How would this look when unfolded?
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
When folded paper is opened, the cuts will appear as follows:
Hence, correct answer is in option 4.
From the given options, which answer figure / figures can be formed by folding the figure given in the question?
2
4
3
1
Correct answer
3
Why this answer is correct
When we fold a given figure then we get,
By solving the options:
→ It cannot be formed because opposite phase are adjacent to each other.
→ It cannot be formed because opposite phase are adjacent to each other.
→ It can be formed because there is no opposite phase adjacent to each other.
→ It cannot be formed because opposite phase are adjacent to each other.
Hence, (3) is the correct answer.
Eight children, A, G, K, M, N, R, S and T are sitting around a circular table facing the centre and at equal distance from each other (not necessarily in the same order). R is sitting to the immediate right of G and third to the left of T. S is sitting to the immediate left of T and fourth to the right of A. N is sitting to the immediate right of R and third to the left of K. Which of the following pair is sitting opposite to each other?
MN
RS
AG
KT
Correct answer
MN
Why this answer is correct
Eight children: A, G, K, M, N, R, S and T
R is sitting to the immediate right of G and third to the left of T
S is sitting to the immediate left of T and fourth to the right of A
N is sitting to the immediate right of R and third to the left of K
This implies that M will occupy the remaining position
Thus, the final arrangement is:
Hence, M and N are sitting opposite to each other
Remya's birthday is on Wednesday 10th March. On what day of the week will be Deepthi's birthday in the same year if Deepthi was born on 15th June?
Tuesday
Wednesday
Monday
Thursday
Correct answer
Tuesday
Why this answer is correct
Remya's birthday → Wednesday 10th March
Deepthi's birthday → 15th June
So, March has remaining → 21 Days
April → 30 Days
May → 31 Days
June → 15 Days
Total days → 97 Days
Dividing 97 days by 7 (as there are 7 days in a week).
We get the remainder 6.
Thus, 6 days ahead of Remya's birthday will be Tuesday which is Deppthi's birthday.
Hence, 'Tuesday' is the correct answer.
Four pairs of number have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose out the odd one.
39 - 12
60 - 25
12 - 22
59 - 8
Correct answer
59 - 8
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is:
The addition is two numbers is a multiple of 17.
Option 1 → 39 - 12 → 39 + 12 = 51 → 17 × 3 = 51
Option 2 → 60 - 25 → 60 + 25 = 85 → 17 × 5 = 85
Option 3 → 12 - 22 → 12 + 22 = 34 → 17 × 2 = 34
Option 4 → 59 - 8 → 59 + 8 = 67, Not divisible by 17.
All except, '59 - 8' follow the same pattern.
Hence, '59 - 8' is different from others.
Read the following codes carefully, then respond to the questions.
Using a specific code,
The lyrics of "Live Today Like Last" are written as "ra mu pe ka."
The song's lyrics "Live Like A King" are written as "su ka pe ke."
The lyrics to "Be Like Last King" are written as "pe na ke ra."
The spelling of "A Good Day Today" is "da ku mu su."
Which of the following may be the code for 'Day Was Good' in the given code language?
da me mu
su pe ma
ku pa da
su mu ku
Correct answer
ku pa da
Why this answer is correct
We can understand the logic by following figure:
By 1st, 2nd and last equations we come to know that:
Today is coded as "mu" & A is coded as "Su".
Now in the last equation we can conclude that 'good day' is commonly coded as "da ku".
Now checking all the options one by one for 'Day Was Good':
1) da me mu → Incorrect (ku is not present)
2) su pe ma → Incorrect (da ku both are not present)
3) ku pa da → Correct (Both ku & da are present)
4) su mu ku → Incorrect (da is not present)
Hence the correct answer is "ku pa da".
In the following figures, the hexagon represents the principal, the circle represents the teacher, the square represents the professor and the triangle represents the dean. Which set of letters represents the dean, who is a teacher?
WX
QR
TU
SR
Correct answer
QR
Why this answer is correct
The set of letters that represents dean, who is a teacher lies in the intersection of triangle and circle, as shown below:
Hence, QR is the correct answer.
Read the given statement and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions is true based on the given statement.
Statement: S > M ≥ P < K = U < T
Conclusions:
I. P < T
II. K > S
Only I is true
Only II is true
Neither I nor II is true
Both I and II are true
Correct answer
Only I is true
Why this answer is correct
The given statement is: S > M ≥ P < K = U < T
Conclusions:
I. P < T → True (as P < K = U < T given; so P < T is true).
II. K > S → False (as S > M ≥ P < K gives either S > K or S < K and no definite relation between K and S can be determined).
Hence, the correct answer is “Only I is true”.
Which of the following terms will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
VURS, POLM, JIFG, DCZA, ?
WXTU
WYUT
XWTU
XYTU
Correct answer
XWTU
Why this answer is correct
The positional value of alphabet series is;
Now the pattern follow in first pair is;
Hence, the correct answer is "XWTU".
