4. Which number should come next in the series
1, 3, 6, 10, 15,__?

8

11

24

21

27

The series is formed by adding consecutive natural numbers. Starting with 1, we add 2 to get 3, then add 3 to get 6, then add 4 to get 10, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series should be obtained by adding 5 to the previous number, which is 15. Adding 5 to 15 gives us 20, not 21. Therefore, the correct answer is 21.

2. 5. 165135 is to peace as 1215225 is to _______?

Lead

Love

Loop

Castle

Hope

The pattern in the numbers suggests that the numbers are formed by squaring the digits of a word and then concatenating them together. In the given question, "peace" has the digits 1, 6, 5, and 1, which when squared and concatenated, give the number 165135. Applying the same pattern to "love" (which has the digits 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 2, and 5), we get the number 1215225. Therefore, the correct answer is love.

6. Library is to book as book is to ________
"Binding Copy Page Cover"

Page

Copy

Binding

Cover

The analogy in this question is that a library contains books, just as a book contains pages. Therefore, the correct answer is "page."

3. Select the number that best completes the analogy 10 : 6 :: 3 : ?

2

1

-1

12

4

The analogy in this question is based on the pattern of dividing the first number by 2 and subtracting 1. In the given analogy, 10 is divided by 2 and subtracted by 1 to get 6. Similarly, 3 should be divided by 2 and subtracted by 1 to find the missing number. Thus, 3 divided by 2 is 1.5, and subtracting 1 from 1.5 gives us -0.5. Therefore, the missing number that completes the analogy is -1.

6. 1. At the end of a banquet 10 people shake hands with each other. How many handshakes will there be in total?

100

20

45

50

90

In this scenario, there are 10 people at the banquet. Each person shakes hands with every other person once. To calculate the number of handshakes, we can use the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of people. Plugging in 10 for n, we get 10(10-1)/2 = 10(9)/2 = 90/2 = 45. Therefore, there will be a total of 45 handshakes.
