What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?

16,25,43,70,106 ?

  1. AOption (a)

    155

  2. BOption (b)

    153

    149

  4. DOption (d)

    151

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

151

Why this answer is correct

Logic: Diffrences are increasing by +9 each time: +9, +18, +27, +36,.....

25 - 16 = 9

43 - 25 = 18

70 - 43 = 27

106 - 70 = 36

Next: 36 + 9 = 45

106 + 45 = 151

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Question 432

IB MTS 2025• Test

In a certain code language,

A + B means 'A is the sister of B',

Question 433

IB MTS 2025• Test

Read the given statements 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 logically follow(s) from the statements.

No hills are mountains.

Some mountains are valleys.

All valleys are glaciers.

Conclusions:

(I) No hills are valleys.

(II) Some mountains are glaciers.

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Only conclusion (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

 

Conclusions:

(I) No hills are valleys. - False ( Their is no direct relation between hills and valleys may be possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

(II) Some mountains are glaciers.- True (Some mountains are valleys.All valleys are glaciers.Some mountains are glaciers is True)

Only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

  4. DOption (d)

    473

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

454

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

The pattern alternates between ×3 +1 and ×2 −1

4 × 3 + 1 = 13

13 × 2 − 1 = 25

25 × 3 + 1 = 76

76 × 2 − 1 = 151

Next should follow ×3 +1

151 × 3 + 1 = 454

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

(13,14,364)

Why this answer is correct

Logic : 2 x First Number x Second Number =  Third Number

For (11, 18, 396):

 2 × 11 × 18 =  396

 

For (19, 12, 456):

 2 × 19 × 12 = 456

Similarly,

(13,14,364)

2 ×  13 × 14 = 364

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"
