The relation between the numbers is as follows,

2 + 3 = 5

5 + (3 × 2) = 5 + 6 = 11

11 + (6 × 2) = 11 + 12 = 23

Hence, the next number is 23 + (12 × 2) = 23 + 24 = 47

The relation between the numbers is as follows,

2 + 1² = 3

3 + 2² = 3 + 4 = 7

7 + 3² = 7 + 9 = 16

16 + 4² = 16 + 16 = 32

Hence, the next number is 32 + 5² = 32 + 25 = 57

The relation between the numbers is as follows,

8 + 3 = 11

11 + 3 = 14

14 + 3 = 17

17 + 3 = 20

Hence, the next number is 20 + 3 = 23.

The relation between the numbers is as follows,

18 - 4 = 14

14 - 4 = 10

10 - 4 = 6

Hence, the next number is 6 - 4 = 2.

The pattern is as follows,

Hence, the next term is PSRQ.

Out of the given options, 13 - 168 is odd one because in all other options 2^nd term is one more than the square of 1^st term i.e.

7 - 50 → 7² + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50

11 - 122 → 11² + 1 = 121 + 1 = 122

15 - 226 → 15² + 1 = 225 + 1 = 226

But in 13 - 168 → 13² + 1 = 169 + 1 = 170 which is not equal to 168.

Thus, 13 - 168 is odd one.

Out of the given options, 8 - 96 is odd one because in all other options 2^nd term is multiple of 1^st term and one more than the 1^st term i.e.

7 - 56 → 7 × (7 + 1) = 7 × 8 = 56

10 - 110 → 10 × (10 + 1) = 10 × 11 = 110

9 - 90 → 9 × (9 + 1) = 9 × 10 = 90

But in 8 - 96 → 8 × (8 + 1) = 8 × 9 = 72 which is not equal to 96.

Thus, 8 - 96 is odd one.

Here, it follows the pattern given below:

Hence, EH is the odd one.

Here, it follows a pattern of -1 between two consecutive characters as shown below:

Hence, ECB is the odd one.

Sword, Spear and Dagger are ancient weapons which were used to fight with the enemies while Gun is a modern weapon which is used now a days by the army. It also hits the target from a distance while Sword, Spear and Dagger can hit an enemy in close combat.

Thus, Gun is the odd one.

In all the pairs, the 2^nd word is a category while the 1^st word is the example of that category i.e.

Brown - Colour → Brown is an example of Colour.

Rice - Grain → Rice is an example of Grain.

Iron - Metal → Iron is an example of Metal.

But in, Fan - Air → Fan is not an example of Air.

Thus, Fan - Air is the odd pair.

In all the pairs, the 1^st word is an Antonym of 2^nd word i.e.

Up - Down → Up is an antonym of Down.

Increase - Decrease → Increase is an antonym of Decrease.

Cry - Laugh → Cry is an antonym of Laugh.

But in, Walking - Running → Walking is not an antonym of Running.

Thus, Walking - Running is the odd pair.

Here pattern is such that 2^nd number is the square of the 1^st number i.e.

11 : 121 → 11² = 121.

Similarly, 12² = 144.

Thus, 144 is the correct alternative.

Here pattern is such that 2^nd number is the square of one more than the 1^st number i.e.

15 : 256 → (15 + 1)² = 16² = 256.

Similarly, 14 : ? → (14 + 1)² = 15² = 225.

Thus, 225 is the correct alternative.

Here pattern is such that 2^nd number is the square of the 1^st number i.e.

108 : 11664 → 108² = 11664

Similarly, 107² = 11449.

Thus, 11449 is the correct alternative.

The pattern here is as follows,

Therefore, DDMKVKBQ is the correct answer.

The pattern here is as follows,

Therefore, LNQD is the correct answer.

Hence the required conversion is,

Therefore, NFHRXZO is the correct answer.

Here, the 1^st word is produced by the 2^nd word i.e.

Rain : Clouds → Rain is produced by Clouds.

Similarly, Heat is produced by Sun.

Thus, Sun is the correct alternative.

Here, the 1^st word contains the 2^nd word i.e.

Garden : Plants → Garden contains Plants.

Similarly, Book contains Pages.

Thus, Pages is the correct alternative.

Here, the 1^st word is a profession which deals with the 2^nd word i.e.

Doctor : Patient → Doctor treats the Patient.

Similarly, Teacher teaches the Student.

Thus, Student is the correct alternative.

The explanation is as follows,

Here sign “ד denotes division and “-“denotes addition i.e.

85 × 5 - 3 → 85 ÷ 5 + 3 = 17 + 3 = 20.

18 × 2 - 1 → 18 ÷ 2 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10.

Similarly, 100 × 20 - 5 → 100 ÷ 20 + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10.

Hence, 10 is the correct option.

The given equation is: 25 + 18 ÷ 2 - 4 = 20

Let’s check each option,

• and ÷ → 25 ÷ 18 + 2 - 4 = - 0.611 ≠ 20.

÷ and - → 25 + 18 - 2 ÷ 4 = 42.5 ≠ 20.

• and - → 25 - 18 ÷ 2 + 4 = 20 = 20.

Hence, by interchanging + and - the equation will be correct.

Let’s check each option,

1. SUNDAY → cannot be formed as there is no ‘S’ in FUNDAMENTALY.

2. MEANT → can be formed as FUNDAMENTALY.

3. FUNNY → can be formed as FUNDAMENTALY.

4. TUNED → can be formed as FUNDAMENTALY.

Hence, SUNDAY can’t be formed from word FUNDAMENTALY

Let’s check each option,

1. BUTTON → can be formed as DISTRIBUTION.

2. DISTURB → can be formed as DISTRIBUTION.

3. BRITAIN → cannot be formed as there is no ‘A’ in DISTRIBUTION.         

4. BURNT → can be formed as DISTRIBUTION.

Hence, BRITAIN can’t be formed from word DISTRIBUTION.

The code for two words i.e. “TOMB” and “TACKLE” is given using these two codes we can find the code for the given word i.e. “TABLET”

Hence, MFEPRM is the correct alternative.

The pattern used here is the number inside the triangle is obtained by adding the numbers on its vertices and the sum is multiplied by 2 i.e.

(4 + 9 + 6) × 2 = 19 × 2 = 38.

(8 + 9 + 11) × 2 = 28 × 2 = 56.

Similarly,

(12 + 13 + 11) × 2 = 36 × 2 = 72.

Hence, 72 is the correct answer.

Here the pattern followed is:

Hence, Z comes in place of question mark (?).

Here the pattern followed in each row is:

(1^st number + 2^nd number + 3^rd number) × 2 = 4^th number

In row 1 → (5 + 7 + 6) × 2 = 18 × 2 = 36

In row 3 → (9 + 11 + 8) × 2 = 28 × 2 = 56

Similarly,

In row 2 → (10 + ? + 17) × 2 = 64 → ? = 32 - 27 = 5

? = 5

Hence, 5 is the correct answer.

Here the pattern followed is:

Let the elements of table be A₁₁, A₁₂, A₂₁, and A₂₂ as shown

A₂₂ = A₁₁ + A₁₂

A₂₁ = A₁₁ × A₁₂

In table 1 → 5 + 6 = 11 and 5 × 6 = 30

In table 2 → 8 + 9 = 17 and 8 × 9 = 72

Similarly,

In table 3 → 11 + ? = 23 → ? = 23 - 11 = 12 and thus 11 × 12 = 132

Hence, 12 is the correct answer.

The diagram below depicts the meaning of the symbols used in figure.

According to the text in the diagram, there can be two possible cases as shown below

Hence, the lady can be daughter or niece of Rohit.

Given data,

Ratio of present ages of A and B is 3 : 5.

Let the present age of A be 3x.

Let the present age of B be 5x.

The age of B after 7 years will be (5x + 7) which is equal to twice age of C.

Present age of C = 10 + 4 = 14.

The age of C after 7 years = 14 + 7 = 21.

Thus,

5x + 7 = 2 × 21 → 5x = 42 - 7 = 35.

x = 7.

Present age of A is 3x, 3 × 7 = 21.

Thus, 21 years is the correct answer.

1. E is sitting to the immediate right of D.

2. A don't have B and E as his neighbours.

3. The only place left for C is between A and B

Thus, when seen in clockwise direction BEDAC is the correct option.

Total students in class = 40

Raman’s rank among the student who have passed is 13^th from top and 17^th from bottom which is shown in the diagram below:

Total number of students who have passed = 16 + 12 + 1 = 29

Failed Students = 40 - 29 = 11.

Hence, 11 students have failed.

Hence, option 3 completes the pattern in question figure.

The question figure is hidden in the following figure:

Hence, Option 3 is the correct figure.

The mirror image of the question will be:

Hence, we can say that option 3 is the correct mirror image of the given question.

It is clear that the common face is N. Hence, we should move in clockwise direction from the common face. Faces which appears in both the cubes when we move clockwise from the common face are opposite to each other. Now again we move clockwise direction to get the next two opposite faces.

Hence, the face opposite to X is Z.

Let’s check all the options,

1. 14, 31, 32, 02, 56 → TFAKE

2. 65, 67, 86, 97, 98 → ZFETY

3. 97, 34, 12, 13, 01 → TRACE

4. 14, 88, 89, 68, 23 → TRNCI

Thus, the correct option is 97, 34, 12, 13, 01.

The correct answer is Cohesive force between molecules.

Key Points

• Surface tension: Surface tension is a measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules present at the surface.​

• Molecules at the surface of a liquid are partly exposed to the surrounding. The molecules at the liquid-air interface experience fewer interactions and have more energy to escape to the surrounding.

• Therefore, energy is required to bring molecules from the bulk of the liquid to the surface. The stronger the intermolecular interaction, the greater is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid.

• This energy is called the surface energy and is related to surface tension as

• ​Surface tension =$\frac{ surface :energy}{area}$

The correct answer is 1

Key Points

• According to the rule, the auxiliary verb 'do/does/did' is always followed by the main verb, and the main verb should be in V₁ form.
• Let's see an example:
• He doesn't spend time with me. (does is an auxiliary verb and spend (V₁) is the main verb.)
• ​Have is an irregular verb. Its three forms are 'have, had, had'.
• The base form of the verb is 'have'. The present participle is 'having'. The past tense and past participle form is 'had'.
• Thus, 'have' will be used in place of 'has'.

Hence the correct sentence is: Hema doesn't have to give the dissertation to me.

Hinglish

• नियम के अनुसार, सहायक क्रिया 'do / do / did' हमेशा मुख्य क्रिया के बाद

आती हे, और मुख्य क्रिया V 1 रूप में होनी चाहिए।

• आइए एक उदाहरण देखें:
• He doesn't spend time with me.*( "*does" सहायक क्रिया है और spend (V 1 ) मुख्य क्रिया है)
• Have एक अनियमित क्रिया है। इसके तीन रूप हैं 'have, had, had'।
• क्रिया का मूल रूप 'have' है। वर्तमान कृदंत 'having' है। भूतकाल और भूतकाल कृदंत रूप 'had' है।
• इस प्रकार, 'has' के स्थान पर 'have' का प्रयोग किया जाएगा।

​

इसलिए सही वाक्य है: Hema doesn't have to give the dissertation to me.

The correct answer is: 3.

Key Points

• The word ‘hair’ is generally an uncountable noun.
• An uncountable noun is generally not followed by 's' at the end.
• For instance: I dyed my hair black. (a mass of hair is being dyed)
• Hence, the error is in the third part of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is: My mother has grey hair.

In the given sentence Part 2 has an error in it.

Key Points

• The word, ‘relief’ which refers to a feeling of reassurance following release from anxiety or distress, seems incorrect in the given context.
• Here, the person should be asking for ‘pity/concern’ on/for his nerves and not ‘relief’.
• 'Have pity on' is a phrase which means 'To act compassionately or with sympathy toward one'.
• Examples: 
• Please, have pity on me, I don't want to die!
• The three spirits taught Scrooge how to have pity on his fellow man.

Correct sentence: Oh dear, do have some pity on my nerves.

The error is in part 2 of the sentence.

The incorrect form of the verb ‘get’ is used. To correct the sentence, ‘ing’ should be added to ‘get’. Also, we can see that the word, ‘getting’ won’t be acting as a verb, but as a noun, i.e. it is a gerund.

Here, the speaker is talking about how getting a job would be easier after graduation; where ‘getting’ acts as a noun, while ‘would’ is the verb.

The given sentence has no error.

In the first part of the sentence, the verb agrees with the subject, and there’s no grammatical error in the rest of the sentence, hence, 4 is the solution.

The error is in part 2 of the sentence.

The incorrect form of the verb, ‘climb’ is used in combination with ‘to’. The bare infinitive form of the verb, (i.e., ‘climb’), should be used; here, ‘to climb’ is the correct usage and not ‘to climbed’.

The error lies in part 3 of the sentence.

Here, an incorrect preposition, ’with’ is used.

The correct preposition should ‘identify the affected thing (i.e., mind)’. This function can be fulfilled by ‘to’, but, not by ‘with’.

Nutrition is provided to the mind, not, with the mind.

The error is in part 1 of the sentence.

There is an unnecessary preposition in part 1. The word, ‘despite’, which has the meaning ‘in spite of’, doesn’t need the support of any preposition, so, ‘of’, should be eliminated.

The correct phrase would be: ‘Despite minimal use of technology’.

The error is in part 2 of the sentence.

An incorrect preposition, ‘into’ is used. The word, ‘in’ which ‘expresses the situation of something that is surrounded/ enclosed by something else’ would be more appropriate.

Sri Lanka is in the Indian Ocean.

The sentence is clearly incorrect because part 2 of the sentence is not error-free.

‘I am found simple joy in seeing a smile on the customer’s face’ is wrong, because of the incorrect tense form. ‘I have found simple joy...’ would be more appropriate.

The missing word should be a preposition, which has the meaning ‘charged as (a price)’. The word, ‘for’ has the required meaning, and is the solution.
