c_bba_cab_ac_ab_ac

Option 1: babcc

Option 3: acbcb

Option 4: abcbc

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

To fill the series we have to divide the series – c_b/ba_/cab/_ac/_ab/_ac
Let's check each option:
First option: babcc; cbb/baa/cab/bac/cab/cac; (No pattern has been found.)
Second option: bcacb; cbb/bac/cab/aac/cab/bac; (No pattern has been found.)
Third option: acbcb; cab/bac/cab/bac/cab/bac; (cab, bac has been repeated.)
Fourth option: abcbc; cab/bab/cab/cac/bab/cac; (No pattern has been found.)

So, the series becomes→cabbaccabbaccabbac. Hence, the third option is correct.

The correct form should be people started instead of people start. The simple past tense is required here to maintain consistency with the past event mentioned in the first part of the sentence.

So, the correct sentence is: After the 'Pooja' in the temple got over, people started coming out to get their slippers.

Question : Directions: A series is given below with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
AN, ET, IZ, MF, ?

Option 1: AL

Option 2: QL

Option 3: AM

Option 4: QM

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Add 4 and 6 to the positional values of the first and second letters of each term to get the next term of the series –
First letter of the series→A + 4 = E; E + 4 = I; I + 4 = M; M + 4 = Q
Second letter of the series→N + 6 = T; T + 6 = Z; Z + 6 = F; F + 6 = L

So, QL is the missing term in the series. Hence the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given with one number missing. Select the missing number from the given alternatives.
4, 13, 41, 126, 382, ?

Option 1: 1149

Option 2: 1146

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1151


Solution : Given:
4, 13, 41, 126, 382, ?

Multiply the terms by 3 and add consecutive natural numbers to the resultant to get the following terms. 
(4 × 3) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13; (13 × 3) + 2 = 39 + 2 = 41; (41 × 3) + 3 = 123 + 3 = 126; (126 × 3) + 4 = 378 + 4 = 382; (382 × 3) + 5 = 1146 + 5 = 1151

So, the required missing number is 1151. Hence, the third option is correct.
