ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

1. (2) The series is 12 1; 22 1; 32 1; 42 1; 52 1, hencethe new series would be, 62 1 (given number);72 1; 82 1; 92 1; 102 1 ...

2. (4) It is a series of prime numbers, 61; 67; 71; 73; 79 ...3. (1) Each number is double 2 of the preceding number.

Hence the series would be, 3; (3 2) 2; (4 2) 2;(6 2) 2; (10 2) 2 ...

4. (5) The arrangement is 2 1; 2 2; 4 3; 12 4; 48 5;

...5. (4) Go on adding 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 ... to numbers

respectively.6. (3) The series would be (3 1) 1 = 2; (2 2) 2 = 2;

(2 3) 3 = 3; (3 4) 4 = 8; (8 5) 5 = 35.7. (3) Ought to be 10. Go on adding 3, 5, 7, 9 ... to numbers.8. (5) Should be 36. The arrangement is 42; 43; 52; 53; 62; 63 ...9. (1) Ought to be 47 as it is a series of prime numbers.

10. (4) Ought to be 20. It is 1 2 = 2; 2 3 = 6; 3 4 = 12;4 5 = 20 ...

11. (4) 12 + 52 = 26.

12. (2) (16 7)2 = 92 = 81.13. (3) 43 29 = 14.14. (1) 102 and 72 are there. The number is 10 + 7 = 17.15. (3) 16. (5) 17. (2) 18. (3)19. (2) First letters are A, C, E, G ... the second Z, Y, X, W ...

and the third B, D, F, H, J ...20. (4) Count the number of letters skipped for first, second

and third letter.21. (3) The word has only one L.22. (2) In all the others, the order of letters picked up for

forming the word has not been changed.

Qs. 72-73. These questions are based on the figuregiven below:

72. Count the number of triangles in the figure.(1) 9 (2) 11 (3) 12 (4) 14 (5) None of these73. How many parallelograms are there?(1) 6 (2) 8 (3) 9 (4) 10 (5) 1174. In which of the answer figure is the question figure

embedded:

23. (4) ON, OR, OT, OU, RT, RU, GA, EN, EO and GL.24. (4)25. (2) GNOC,UTAR,ETAL

For answering the next type of questions, you must studyeach figure given in the question independently as well as inrelationship with other figures. The following points might help indiscovering the pattern of the series.

(i) The figures may rotate, tilt, may turn upside down,grow bigger or smaller or may just remain as theyare.

(ii) The figures may move vertically, horizontally,corner to corner, clockwise or anti-clockwise.

(iii) The pace of movement may not be the same. Somefigures in the same question may have a regularmovement, some may cover an extra step or somemay have one step, two step movement.

(iv) Something may be added or dropped, the droppedfigures may reappear again.

(v) Some figures may interchange places.
