Which number will come next in the following series?
5, 12, 31, 68, 129, ______
220
218
131
190
Correct answer
220
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed is
13 + 4 = 5
23 + 4 = 12
33 + 4 = 31
43 + 4 = 68
53 + 4 = 129
63 + 4 = 220
Hence, “220” is the correct answer.

Why this answer is correct
Given: Mohit is the father-in-law of Rani's mother.
Here, Mohit is the paternal grandfather or father's father of Rani.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different.
DKR
GAH
VCJ
MTA
Correct answer
GAH
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is :-
1) DKR
2) GAH
3) VCJ
4) MTA
∴ Here, "GAH" is different from other three alternatives.
Hence, the correct answer is "GAH".
In a certain code language, ‘HYPOCRISY’ is written as ‘YPHOCIRYS’, and ‘IMPORTANT’ is written as ‘MPIORATTN’. How will ‘INTEGRITY’ be written in that language?
NTIEGIRYT
NTIEGRIYT
NTIGEIRYT
NITEGIRYT
Correct answer
NTIEGIRYT
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is :
So,
And,
Similarly,
Hence, "NTIEGIRYT" is the correct answer.
Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
First row- 5, 6, 19
Second row- 7, 7, 35
Third row- 8, 9, ?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)
65
35
45
55
Correct answer
55
Why this answer is correct
The logic is followed here:
Sum of all numbers = Multiplication of first two numbers
First row: 5,6,19
⇒ 5 × 6 = 5 + 6 + 19
⇒ 30 = 30
Second row: 7,7,35
⇒ 7 × 7= 7 + 7 + 35
⇒ 49 = 49
Third row: 8,9,?
⇒ 8 × 9 = 8 + 9 + ?
⇒ 72 = 17 + ?
⇒ ? = 55
Here, the correct answer is 55.
Alternate Method The applied logic is:
In a given row the first two numbers are multiplied and subtracted with the third number which will give the obtained number thus as we go on to the next row the obtained value increases by three in each case, thus following the same logic,
First row: 5,6,19
5 × 6 - 19 = 11
30 - 19 = 11
Second row:7,7,35
7 × 7 - 35 = 14
49 - 35 = 14
That is (11+3=14, FROM FIRST ROW)
Third row:8,9,?
8 × 9 - ?= (14 + 3)
72 - ? = 17
55 = Answer
Hence the correct answer is option 4)
Rakesh ranks 15th from top in the class of 42 students and there are 8 students below Rajesh rank. How many students are there between Rakesh and Rajesh?
19
16
17
18
Correct answer
18
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Rakesh ranks 15th from top
Rajesh's rank from top = 42 - 8 = 34th.
The total number of students between Rakesh and Rajesh is 34 - 15 - 1 = 18
Drawing the diagram,
There are ‘18’ students are there between Rakesh and Rajesh.
Hence, “18” is the correct answer.
Mistake Points There are 8 students below Rajesh rank - it means the rank of Rajesh is 9th from the bottom.
Six girls named P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting in a straight line. All are facing the north direction. U sits third to the left of R. S sits third to the right of Q. U sits second to the left of Q. T is not the immediate neighbour of U. What is P's position in the line?
Third from the extreme right end
Second from the extreme left end
Third from the extreme left end
At the extreme left end
Correct answer
Second from the extreme left end
Why this answer is correct
According to the given information,
1) U sits third to the left of R.
2) U sits second to the left of Q.
3) S sits third to the right of Q.
4) T is not the immediate neighbour of U.
Here, we can see that P is sitting second from the extreme left end.
Hence, the correct answer is "Second from the extreme left end".
