Q. Choose the correct option from the alternatives given below each question:
1. If NOIDA is written as OPJEB, then what will be the code for DELHI?
(a) EFMAK
(b) EFAMK
(c) EFMIJ
(d) EFMIK
Ans: (c)
Explanation: Each letter in the word NOIDA is moving one step forward and forms the code OPJEB. Similarly, if the letters of the word DELHI move one step forward, then D will be written as E, E as F, L as M, H as I, and I as J. So, the code for DELHI will be EFMIJ.
2. If AIRLINE is written as ENILRIA7, then RAILWAY will be written as –
(a) YAWLIAR7
(b) YAWLIAR8
(c) YAWILAR7
(d) YAWILAR8
Ans: (a)
Explanation: The letters of the word AIRLINE are written in reverse order, and the number on the right side of the coded word is the total number of characters in the original word. So, the AIRLINE will be coded as ENILRIA7. Similarly, the word RAILWAY will be coded as YAWLIAR7.
3. If CAT is coded as PATC, JOY is coded as POYJ; similarly, the word WING will be coded as –
(a) PIGNW
(b) PINGW
(c) PGNIW
(d) PIWGN
Ans: (b)
Explanation: The first letter in the word CAT is moved at the last position, and the alphabet P is placed at the initial position in order to form the code. So, the code for CAT is PATC, and the word JOY is coded as POYJ. Similarly, the word WING will be coded as PINGW.
4. Which number should come next in the series 1, 2, 3, 10, ___
(a) 79
(b) 99
(c) 89
(d) 98
Ans: (b)
Explanation: The logic for the given series is the square of the appearing number and addition of 1 at the first position and the subtraction of 1 at the second position. This simply means that –
12 + 1 = 2
22 – 1 = 3
32 + 1 = 10
Similarly, the number after 10 is –
102 – 1 = 99
5. Suppose a series is 6, 11, 21, 36, 56,? the number that comes at the place of the question mark in the given series is –
(a) 91
(b) 21
(c) 52
(d) 81
Ans: (d)
Explanation: In the given series there is an increment of the consecutive multiples of 5, i.e., +5, then +10, then +15, and so on. So,
6 + 5 = 11
11 + 10 = 21
21 + 15 = 36
36 + 20 = 56, and
56 + 25 = 81
So, the next number in the series will be 81.

6. Which number is wrong in the series 2, 6, 15, 31, 56, 93?
(a) 6
(b) 31
(c) 56
(d) 93
Ans: (d)
Explanation: In the given series, the difference between the numbers is the square of consecutive integers. That means the difference between 2 and 6 is 4 (22), 6 and 15 is 9 (32), 15 and 31 is 16 (42), 31 and 56 is 25 (52), so after 25 the difference should be 36 (62), but in the given series it is 37. So, after 56, the next number should be 92 to follow the sequence. But the number is 93 instead of 92. So, 93 is the wrong number.
7. The number comes next in the series 12, 36, 109, 329, … –
(a) 900
(b) 990
(c) 890
(d) None of above
Ans: (b)
Explanation: In the given series there is an increment of *3 + 0, then *3 + 1, *3 + 2, and so on. That means –
12 x 3 + 0 = 36
36 x 3 + 1 = 109
109 x 3 + 2 = 329
329 x 3 + 3 = 990
So, the next number in the series will be 990.
8. Suppose a series is 1, 9, 25, 49, ?, 121, the number comes at the place of the question mark in the given series is –
(a) 91
(b) 21
(c) 52
(d) 81
Ans: (d)
Explanation: In the given series there is a square of the consecutive odd integers i.e., 32, 52, 72, and so on.
12 = 1
32 = 9
52 = 25
72 = 49
92 = 81
112 = 121
So, the number that comes in place of the question mark is 81.
9. The number comes after the series 8, 28, 116, 584, …… –
(a) 3504
(b) 3507
(c) 3508
(d) 3509
Ans: (c)
Explanation: In the given series the logic is –
(8 x 3) + 4 = 28
(28 x 4) + 4 = 116
(116 x 5) + 4 = 584
(584 x 6) + 4 = 3508
So, the next number in the series is 3508.
10. What will be the next number in the series 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, …….?
(a) 31
(b) 33
(c) 35
(d) 37
Ans: (a)
Explanation: The given series consists of increasing order of consecutive prime numbers starting from 13.
So, the next number in the series is 31.

(a) 121
(b) 120
(c) 119
(d) 118
Ans: (a)
Explanation: The series consists of squares of consecutive natural numbers starting from 14 in decreasing order, i.e., the numbers 196, 169, 144, _, 100, 81 can be written as 142, 132, 122, 112, 102, 92. So, the missing number is 121.
12. Which number comes next in the series 1536, 384, 96, ___?
(a) 23
(b) 24
(c) 28
(d) 18
Ans: (b)
Explanation: The given series is a simple division series. In this series, each number is divided by 4 to arrive at the next number. Therefore, 24 (96/4) would be the next number.
13. If PINK is coded as 1691411, then RED will be coded as –
(a) 1963
(b) 1854
(c) 1853
(d) 1954
Ans: (b)
Explanation: The letters of the word are replaced by their positions in the English Alphabet. As in PINK, the position of P is 16th, I appears at 9th place, N at 14th, and K at 11. So, it is coded as 1691411.
Similarly, RED will be coded as 1854 as R is at the 18th position, E is at the 5th position, and D is at the 4th position in the English alphabet.
14. Which of the following is the odd one from the given alternatives?
(a) Driving
(b) Diving
(c) Swimming
(d) Sailing
Ans: (a)
Explanation: The word Driving is different from the other words. This is because the words Diving, Swimming, and Sailing are related to water, but Driving is different from the list.
15. Which of the following is the odd number from the given alternatives?
(a) 1090
(b) 962
(c) 626
(d) 841
Ans: (d)
Explanation: The number 841 is different from the list. This is because other numbers will be a perfect square if we subtract 1 from them. This means –
1090 – 1 = 1089 (332)
962 – 1 = 961 (312)
626 – 1 = 625 (252)
But,
841 -1 = 840, which is not a perfect square, so it is different from the other alternatives.
