Solution : Given: JK_MJ_LM_KL_
To fill in the blanks, divide the series into clusters of 4 letters – JK_M / J_LM / _KL_ Let's check each option – First option: JKLL; JKJM / JKLM / LKLL (No repeated pattern found.) Second
Question : Directions: Which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it? S_NX_MNX_MN_SM_X
Option 1: MSSXN
Option 2: NXYMS
Option 3: NMXXN

Solution : Given: S_NX_MNX_MN_SM_X To fill the series we have to divide the series→S_NX/_MNX/_MN_/SM_X Let's check each option – First option: MSSXN; SMNX/SMNX/SMNX/SMNX (SMNX is repeated in the series.) Second option: NXYMS; SNNX/XMNX/
Question : Directions: In the following number pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 –operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (11, 122) (32, 1025)
Option 1: (25, 152)
Option 2: (21, 441)
Option 3: (13, 170)
Option 4: (17, 292)
Correct Answer: (13, 170)
Solution : Given: (11, 122); (32, 1025)
Find the square of the first number and then add 1 to obtain the second number in the given set of numbers – ⇒ (11, 122)→112 + 1 = 121 + 1 = 122 ⇒ (32, 1025)→322
Question : Directions: In the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it? a _ ba _ b _ b _ a _ b
Option 1: abaab
Option 2: aabba
Option 3: bbabb
Option 4: abbab
Correct Answer: bbabb
Solution : Given: a _ ba _ b _ b _ a _ b
To fill the series we have to divide the series→a _ b / a _ b / _ b _ / a _ b Let's check each option – First option: abaab;
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (3, 16, 6) (4, 22, 6)
Option 1: (12, 50, 5)
Option 2: (9, 70, 8)
Option 3: (7, 43, 6)
Option 4: (9, 10, 11)
Correct Answer: (9, 70, 8)
Solution : Given: (3, 16, 6); (4, 22, 6)
Here the pattern followed is as follows – ⇒ (3, 16, 6)→3 × 6 = 18 and 18 – 2 = 16 ⇒ (4, 22, 6)→4 × 6 = 24 and 24 – 2 = 22

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.) (3, 14, 1) (4, 36, 2)
Option 1: (8, 12, 2)
Option 2: (5, 81, 4)
Option 3: (7, 40, 3)
Option 4: (8, 260, 2)
Correct Answer: (8, 260, 2)
Solution : Given: (3, 14, 1); (4, 36, 2)
⇒ (3, 14, 1)→{(3)3 + (1)3} ÷ 2 = {27 + 1} ÷ 2 = 28 ÷ 2 = 14 ⇒ (4, 36, 2)→{(4)3 + (2)3} ÷ 2 = {64
