Which of the following letter-number clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete?
GDK 12 NKR 23 URY 34 BYF 45 ?
IFM 56
KGM 55
SBU 56
JEK 55
Correct answer
IFM 56

The logic follows here,
The next term is "IFM 56".
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1".
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that DOES NOT belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
NJK
VRT
TPR
PLN
Correct answer
NJK
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows,
NJK,
VRT,
TPR,
PLN,
Therefore, the letter cluster that is different from the others is NJK.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
In a certain code language, ‘DOLE’ is coded as ‘7348’ and ‘LEMO’ is coded as ‘2738’. What is the code for ‘M’ in the given code language?
2
8
3
7
Correct answer
2
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Therefore, the letter M corresponds to the digit 2.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
Tus ranked 56th from the bottom and 51st from the top in his class. How many students are there in his class?
108
106
107
105
Correct answer
106
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Position of Tus from the top = 51st
Position of Tus from the bottom = 56th
Total number of students in the class = (Position from the top + Position from the bottom) − 1
= (51 + 56) − 1
= 107 − 1
= 106
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
In the following triad, each group of letters is related to the subsequent one following a certain logic. Select, from the given options, the one which follows the same logic.
SAID - AISD - DIAS
MODE - ODME - EDOM
HOGS - OHGS - SOGH
UGLY - GLUY - GLYU
TONG - ONTG - GNOT
MIND - MNID - DNIM
Correct answer
TONG - ONTG - GNOT
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
For 'SAID - AISD - DIAS':
For 'MODE - ODME - EDOM':
Applying Same logic
'TONG - ONTG - GNOT':
Thus, TONG - ONTG - GNOT follows the correct logic.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
What should come in place of ‘?’ in the given series?
38 55 74 95 118 ?
152
143
161
155
Correct answer
143
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Pattern: +17, +19, +21, +23, +25 (consecutive odd numbers)
Thus, the missing term in the series is 143.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2';
Read the given statement(s) 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 statement(s).
Statements:
Some fans are cars.
No car is a bus.
Conclusions:
(I) Some fans are buses.
(II) Some cars are fans.
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
Only conclusion (I) follows
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Only conclusion (II) follows
Correct answer
Only conclusion (II) follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
(I) Some fans are buses - Does not Follow
There is no direct relation between fans and buses; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.
(II) Some cars are fans **- Follow (**Some fans are cars. Some cars are fans)
Therefore, only conclusion (II) follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"
What should come in place of '?' in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?
TGA WJD ZMG CPJ ?
ERL
FSM
GTC
DPN
Correct answer
FSM
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Combining the letters, we get the term FSM.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"
WT 16 is related to XW -1 in a certain way. In the same way, DE 9 is related to EH -8. To which of the following is NK 19 related, following the same logic?
ON 2
TY 5
UY 1
NJ 7
Correct answer
ON 2
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Applying same logic,
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group? (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.)
XU-SY
OL-JQ
UR-PW
RO-MT
Correct answer
XU-SY
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
XU-SY,
OL-JQ,
UR-PW,
RO-MT,
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is XU-SY.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1."
