840
960
720
600
Correct answer
720
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Thus, the missing term in the series is 720.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Which number does not belong:
123
213
212
312
Correct answer
212
Why this answer is correct
Then logic followed here is:
123, 213, and 312 are composed of the digits 1, 2, and 3 only, just in different orders.
Whereas,
212 repeats the digit '2' and does not include the digit '3'.
So, 212 is the odd one from the given options.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
B is to E as D is to:
I
H
G
F
Correct answer
G
Why this answer is correct
The pattern is a shift of +3 in the alphabetical order.
Now, we apply the same logic to D to find the corresponding letter.
The letter that corresponds to the 7th position is G, matches
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
All metals are good conductors of electricity. Copper is a metal. Which conclusion can be drawn?
Copper is not a conductor
Copper is a metal only
Copper is a poor conductor
Copper is a good conductor
Correct answer
Copper is a good conductor
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Statement 1: All metals are good conductors of electricity.
Statement 2: Copper is a metal.
Since copper is a metal and all metals are good conductors, we can conclude that copper is a good conductor of electricity.
Thus, Copper is a good conductor.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"
5 In each of these questions, a number series is given. In each series, only one number is wrong number. Find out the wrong number. 2, 7, 25, 108, 531, 3193
3193
531
25
108
Correct answer
108
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
The number 108 does not follow this pattern; it should be 105 to continue the series correctly.
Thus, the wrong number in the series is 108.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
If + means - , ÷ means +, - means x, and x means ÷ then, what is 30 - 5 + 10 ÷ 5?
150
145
155
160
Correct answer
145
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
According to the question, the signs are interchanged as follows:
| Original Symbol | + | ÷ | − | × |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Symbol | − | + | × | ÷ |
Now, given the equation: 30 − 5 + 10 ÷ 5 = ?
After interchanging the specified signs, the new equation is:
30 × 5 − 10 + 5 = ?
Perform operations according to BODMAS:
⇒ 30 × 5 − 10 + 5
⇒ 150 − 10 + 5
⇒ 140 + 5
⇒ 145
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
In each of the following questions, a word is transformed into another word by applying a specific alphabetical pattern to each of its letters. Identify the logic used in the first pair and apply the same logic to the second word to determine the correct answer.
FROST : ITQSR :: CHALK: ?
KLPOR
GHOCK
FJCLI
HITME
Correct answer
FJCLI
Why this answer is correct
The pattern is: +3, +2, +2, +0, -2.
For 'FROST' related to 'ITQSR':
Applying the same logic to 'CHALK':
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Find the next term in the given letter series:
AAGHGHGH, GAAHGHGH, GHAAGHGH, GHGAAHGH, GHGHAAGH, GHGHGAAH, ______________.
GHGHGHAA
GAAHGHGH
AAGHGHGH
GHGHGAAH
Correct answer
GHGHGHAA
Why this answer is correct
The block "AA" shifts one position to the right in each successive term:
Term 1: "AA" occupies positions 1–2 → AAGHGHGH
Term 2: "AA" occupies positions 2–3 → GAAHGHGH
Term 3: "AA" occupies positions 3–4 → GHAAGHGH
Term 4: "AA" occupies positions 4–5 → GHGAAHGH
Term 5: "AA" occupies positions 5–6 → GHGHAAGH
Term 6: "AA" occupies positions 6–7 → GHGHGAAH
Term 7: "AA" occupies positions 7-8 → GHGHGHAA
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
In the following question, a pair of words is given in capital letters, followed by five answer options consisting of word pairs. Choose the option in which the relationship between the two words most closely matches the relationship between the given pair.
PROFLIGATE: FRUGALITY
Mendacious: Truth
Ubiquitous: Presence
Punctilious: Detail
Gregarious: Solitude
Insipid: Flavor
Ubiquitous: Presence
Insipid: Flavor
Punctilious: Detail
Mendacious: Truth
Correct answer
Mendacious: Truth
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
| Profligate | Opposite of Frugality |
|---|---|
| Mendacious | Opposite of Truth |
| Ubiquitous | Related to Presence |
| Punctilious | Related to Detail |
| Insipid | Lacking Flavor |
Profligate is the opposite of Frugality,
Whereas,
Mendacious is the opposite of Truth, matching the same antonym relationship.
Hence, the correct answer is Mendacious : Truth.
Statements:
No pens are pencils.
Some pencils are erasers.
Conclusions:
I. Some erasers are not pens.
II. No pens are erasers.
Only II follows
Both I and II follow
Only I follows
Neither I nor II follows
Correct answer
Only I follows
Why this answer is correct
Statements:
No pens are pencils.
Some pencils are erasers.
The least possible venn diagram is given:
Conclusions:
I. Some erasers are not pens -True(because Some erasers are pencils and no pencils are pen, it implies that the part of eraser is pencil can never be pen).
II. No pens are erasers - False(because there is no definite relation is given so it can be possible only).
Thus, Only I follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
