Solution : Given: 339, 284, 229, 174, ?
Subtract 55 from the previous term to obtain the next term. 339 – 55 = 284; 284 – 55 = 229; 229 – 55 = 174; 174 – 55 = 119

Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.
The structure of the active voice sentence is: "Subject + is + verb (ing) + object"
Therefore, the correct answer is: "The bank manager is informing all the clients through SMS about the change in bank timings."

Option 2: UXQ
Option 3: ORK
Option 4: OSQ
Correct Answer: ORK
Solution : Given: MAD : JXA :: RUN : ?
Subtract 3 from the place value of the letters of MAD, to get the second term – M – 3 = J, A – 3 = X, D – 3 = A. Thus MAD is codded JXA. Similarly, follow the same pattern for RUN : ?→ R – 3 = O, U – 3 = R, N – 3 = K
Thus, RUN is coded as ORK. Hence, the third option is correct.

So, –7 is the required missing number. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
