The pattern in the given series is that each number is the cube of the previous number.
27 is the cube of 3 (3^3 = 27),
125 is the cube of 5 (5^3 = 125),
64 is the cube of 4 (4^3 = 64).
Therefore, the next number in the series should be the cube of 6, which is 216.Rate this question:

A. NSVZExplanation
The pattern in the given question is that each letter in the first set is shifted 7 positions forward in the English alphabet to get the corresponding letter in the second set. Applying the same pattern, the letter 'A' in the third set would shift 7 positions forward to become 'H', 'F' would shift 7 positions forward to become 'M', 'I' would shift 7 positions forward to become 'P', and 'M' would shift 7 positions forward to become 'T'.

Correct Answer
A. 5, 4, 1, 3, 2Explanation
The correct order is 5, 4, 1, 3, 2. This order represents a logical sequence starting with the field (5) where the grain (4) is grown. The rat (1) is found in the field, followed by the snake (3) which preys on the rat. Finally, the eagle (2) is at the top of the food chain and preys on the snake.Rate this question:

In each of the following questions, a series is given, with one term / number / letter missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. 3, 11, 38, 102, _, 443
-
22.7
-
237
-
247
-
217
Correct Answer
A. 22.7Explanation
The series follows the pattern of adding consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. The first term, 3, is increased by 1 to get the second term, 11. Then, 11 is increased by 3 to get the third term, 38. The pattern continues with each term being increased by the next consecutive odd number. So, the missing term should be obtained by adding 5 to the previous term, 102. Therefore, the correct answer is 102 + 5 = 107. However, none of the given options match 107. Therefore, none of the given options are correct.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Ml mllExplanation
The given letter series has a pattern where the letter "m" is repeated after every two letters. The missing letters need to fit this pattern. By placing "ml" at the first gap, "mll" at the second gap, and "ml" at the third gap, the pattern is completed correctly. Therefore, the answer is "ml mll".Rate this question:

-
Wife
-

Daughter
Correct Answer
A. SisterExplanation
The lady in the photograph is Vijay's sister. This can be deduced by breaking down the statement: "She is the daughter of the father of sister of my brother." The sister of Vijay's brother is Vijay himself, so the father of Vijay is the father of the sister of Vijay. Therefore, the lady in the photograph is the daughter of Vijay's father, making her Vijay's sister.Rate this question:

Which number is wrong in the series? 5, 11,23,47,96
-
47
-
23
-
96
-
11
Correct Answer
A. 96Explanation
The series follows a pattern where each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and then subtracting 1. For example, 5 * 2 - 1 = 9, 9 * 2 - 1 = 17, and so on. However, the number 96 does not follow this pattern. It should be obtained by multiplying the previous number (47) by 2 and then subtracting 1, which would give us 93. Therefore, 96 is the wrong number in the series.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. NGCRExplanation
The given code seems to be based on a simple pattern where each letter in the original word is replaced by the letter that is three positions ahead in the alphabet. Applying this pattern to the word "LEAP", we can see that L becomes N, E becomes G, A becomes C, and P becomes R. Therefore, the correct code for LEAP would be NGCR.Rate this question:

-
914211275
-
1813326152022
-
1813236152022
Correct Answer
A. 1813236152022Explanation
The code for each letter in the word GARMENT is determined by its position in the English alphabet. For example, G is the 7th letter, so it is represented by the number 7 in the code. Applying the same pattern to the word INDULGE, we find that I is the 9th letter, N is the 14th, D is the 4th, U is the 21st, L is the 12th, G is the 7th, and E is the 5th. Therefore, INDULGE is written as 914211275 in the given code.Rate this question:

The missing number can be found by observing the pattern in each row. In the first row, the middle number is obtained by multiplying the first and last number, i.e., 7 * 15 = 105. Similarly, in the third row, the middle number is obtained by multiplying the first and last number, i.e., 35 * 90 = 3150. Therefore, in the second row, the missing number can be obtained by multiplying the first and last number, i.e., 10 * 12 = 120. The correct answer is 120.Rate this question:

In this question, we need to apply the given operations in the correct order. According to the given symbols, we have to first perform the division operation, then subtraction, and finally multiplication. So, 2 ÷ 3 = 2/3. Then, we subtract 4 from the result: 2/3 - 4 = 2/3 - 12/3 = -10/3. Finally, we multiply the result by 6: -10/3 x 6 = -60/3 = -20. Therefore, the answer is -20.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. - ÷ =Explanation
The given expression is 16 multiplied by 8, which equals 128. The combination of signs - ÷ = indicates that we need to divide 128 by a number to get the final result. Since there is no number after the division sign, it implies that we need to divide 128 by 1, which gives us 128. Therefore, the correct answer is - ÷ =, indicating that 128 divided by 1 equals 128.Rate this question:

-
B is sitting on the left of E
-
B is to the back of E
-
A is facing B and E
-

Correct Answer
A. B is sitting on the left of EExplanation
Based on the given information, we know that student E is sitting at the center and facing only student C. Student A is sitting facing the back of E. Since student D is sitting on the right of E, it can be inferred that B will be sitting on the left of E. Therefore, the correct answer is "B is sitting on the left of E."Rate this question:

In each of the following questions, two statements are given followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statements. Statements: (1) Best performance in Olympics fetches a gold medal. (2) Player 'X' got gold medal but later was found to be using a prohibited drug. Conclusions: (I) 'X' should be allowed to keep the gold medal. (II) Gold medal should be withdrawn and given to the next person.

Only conclusion (II) follows
-
N either conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
-
Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
-

Correct Answer
A. Only conclusion (II) followsExplanation
The first statement states that the best performance in Olympics fetches a gold medal. The second statement states that player 'X' got a gold medal but later was found to be using a prohibited drug. From these statements, it can be inferred that player 'X' obtained the gold medal through unfair means, as the use of prohibited drugs is against the rules of the Olympics. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the gold medal should be withdrawn from player 'X' and given to the next person who deserves it. This aligns with conclusion (II) which states that the gold medal should be withdrawn and given to the next person. Conclusion (I) does not follow as player 'X' should not be allowed to keep the gold medal due to the use of a prohibited drug.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Only conclusion (II) followsExplanation
The given statements state that "No children are voters." This means that there is no overlap between the group of children and the group of voters. From this, we can conclude that "No voters are children" (Conclusion II) because if there is no overlap between the two groups, then it is not possible for any voters to be children. However, we cannot conclude that "No adults are voters" (Conclusion I) because the statements only provide information about children and voters, not about adults. Therefore, only conclusion (II) follows.Rate this question:
