  2. JLNP

  3. YWUS

  4. YUQM

  5. IKMO


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The opposite letter of A is Z, C is X, E is V and G is T. Similarly, B = Y, D = W, F = U and H = S.

Consider the given pattern: 7 : 28 :: 32 : .....

What is the value of the missing number?

  1. 96

  2. 92

  3. 160

  4. 128

  5. 140


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The new number would be the product of 32 and 4, which results in 128 as the answer.

What is the value of x in the series: 25 : 37 :: 49 : x?

  1. 65

  2. 56

  3. 64

  4. 37

  5. 82


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

.

A series is shown below:

1, 4, 10, 19, 31, 46, ?

What is the next number in this series?

  1. 64

  2. 61

  3. 58

  4. 67

  5. 52


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

1 + 3 = 4. 4 + 6 = 10. 10 + 9 = 19. 19 + 12 = 31. 31 + 15 = 46. The next number would be: 46 + 18 = 64 Hence, option (1) is correct.  

___ is divisible by 2, 3 and 5.

  1. 12

  2. 15

  3. 10

  4. 14

  5. 30


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

A number divisible by 2, 3 and 5 is of the type 2 x 3 x 5 x a = 30 a. Out of the given options, only 30 is that type of a number. Hence, option (5) is correct.

A number series is shown below: 2, 5, 10, 17, 28, .......

What is the next number in the series?

  1. 33

  2. 31

  3. 37

  4. 41

  5. 58


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The difference between each pair is: 3, 5, 7 and 11, i.e. prime numbers. Hence, the next number would be with difference 13. So, 28 + 13 = 41

If BEER = 9775 and REAR = 5725, then how will you code BEAR?

  1. 9725

  2. 9275

  3. 7925

  4. 9775

  5. 5729


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

From BEER = 9775, the code for B = 9, E = 7 and R = 5.Similarly, REAR = 5725, the code for R = 5, A = 2. Hence, BEAR = 9725.

A set of numbers following a certain rule are shown. 1, 4, 27, 16, 125, ...

If the series continues, then what will be the value of 7th term?

  1. 343

  2. 36

  3. 49

  4. 64

  5. 216


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

All the even numbered terms are squared and the nodd numbered terms are cubed. Hence, 7th term = 7 3 = 343.

If 7 + 3 = 46 and 8 + 4 = 60, then what is the value of 4 + 3?

  1. 7

  2. 35

  3. 13

  4. 16

  5. 19


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

7 + 3 = 72 - 3 = 49 - 3 = 46 8 + 4 = 82 - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 Similarly, 4 + 3 = 42 - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13

Look at the shown series. 2, 6, 12, 20, ....

What is the sum of 5th and 6th terms of the above series?

  1. 42

  2. 50

  3. 72

  4. 64

  5. 62


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, ..., each number is written as the sum of its square and the number itself. 2 = 12 + 1 6 = 22 + 2 12 = 32 + 352 + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30 62 + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42 Hence, their sum would be 72.  

Look at this series. 7, 18, 11, 15, 15, 12, 19, ...

What numbers should come at 9th and 10th place, respectively?

  1. 6 and 23

  2. 23 and 6

  3. 23 and 4

  4. 22 and 6

  5. 9 and 23


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It consists of two series : First series : 7, 11, 15, 19 (4 is added) Second series : 18,15, 12 (3 is subtracted) The series continues as: 7, 18, 11, 15, 15, 12, 19, 9, 23, 6, 27 and so on. Hence, the 9th and 10th numbers are 23 and 6, respectively.

A series is shown with two missing numbers. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, a, 13, b.

What is the sum of a and b?

  1. 26

  2. 29

  3. 18

  4. 21

  5. 34


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

1 + 1 = 2. 1 + 2 = 3. 2 + 3 = 5. a = 3 + 5 = 8. 8 + 5 = 13. b = 13 + 8 = 21. Thus, a + b = 8 + 21 = 29.

If A%B = A2 + B2 - AB, then what is the value of 7%2?

  1. 53

  2. 67

  3. 34

  4. 39

  5. 23


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

7%2 = 72 + 22 - (7)(2) 7%2 = 49 + 4 - 14 7%2 = 53 - 14 7%2 = 39  

Look at the series shown below. 8, 17, 28, 41, ...

If the pattern continues in the same way, then what is its 7th term?

  1. 56

  2. 92

  3. 113

  4. 73

  5. 136


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

8 + 9 = 17. 17 + 11 = 28. 28 + 13 = 41. 41 + 15 = 56. 56 + 17 = 73. 73 + 19 = 92. Hence, 7th term is 92.
