CDG
CDF
Correct answer
CEG
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
The missing term in the series is CEG.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
What should come in place of ‘?’ in the given series?
71 68 ? 53 41 26
64
62
61
63
Correct answer
62
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is.
Logic: The pattern of differences observed is: −3, −6, −9, −12, −15.
Following this logic, the missing number in the series is 62.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"
What will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘-‘ are interchanged and ‘x’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
14 x 2 - 12 ÷ 4 + 8 = ?
22
47
18
16
Correct answer
47
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
The logic followed here is.
The signs are interchanged as follows:
**Given Equation:**14 × 2 − 12 ÷ 4 + 8 = ?
After interchanging the signs and following BODMAS rule
= 14 ÷ 2 + 12 × 4 − 8
= 7 + 12 × 4 − 8
= 7 + 48 − 8
= 55 − 8
= 47
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Select the pair that follows the same pattern as that followed by the two pairs given below. Both pairs follow the same pattern.
ROD : UKF
OLF : RHH
KFK : NBM
JQS : MMV
UIL : QFO
PUD : SRH
Correct answer
KFK : NBM
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
For ROD : UKF,
For OLF : RHH,
Applying to the same logic ,
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
What should come in place of ‘?’ in the given series?
372 321 277 240 210 187 ?
173
168
171
165
Correct answer
171
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is,
Observe the pattern in the differences:
Thus, the missing term in the series is 171.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3';
In a certain code language, ‘CANE’ is coded as ‘5731’ and ‘RACE’ is coded as ‘7435’. What is the code for ‘R’ in the given code language?
3
7
5
4
Correct answer
4
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here,
Therefore, the code for R is 4.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4"
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 pairs.)
YG-RO
OW – HF
AI-TQ
SA – LI
Correct answer
OW – HF
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
YG−RO,
OW − HF,
AI−TQ,
SA − LI,
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is OW − HF.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
Each of the digits in the number 7543168 is arranged in ascending order from left to right. What will be the sum of the digits which are second from the left and third from the right in the new number thus formed?
9
10
6
5
Correct answer
9
Why this answer is correct
Given number: 7 5 4 3 1 6 8
Ascending order: 1 3 4 5 6 7 8
| Given Number | 7 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ascending Order | 1 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
Left 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 Right
Addition of the second digit from the left and the third digit from the right is:3 + 6 = 9.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Seven boxes, G, H, I, L, M, N and O, are kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order.
No box is kept above M. Only two boxes are kept between L and H. Only three boxes are kept between M and H. N is kept immediately above H. Only four boxes are kept between L and I. G is kept at some place above O.
Which box is kept second above G?
M
H
O
L
Correct answer
M
Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven boxes, G, H, I, L, M, N and O, are kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order.
| Position | Box |
|---|---|
| 7 | M |
| 6 | |
| 5 | |
| 4 | N |
| 3 | H |
| 2 | |
| 1 |
Final Arrangement:
| 7 | M |
|---|---|
| 6 | L |
| 5 | G |
| 4 | N |
| 3 | H |
| 2 | O |
| 1 | I |
Thus, the box kept second above G is M.
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.)
HV - KT
YT - BR
OA - RY
SZ - VW
Correct answer
SZ - VW
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
HV - KT,
YT - BR,
OA - RY,
SZ - VW,
This pair does not follow the rule.
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is SZ - VW.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
