D Correct answer
Explanation

The series increases by 3 letters alphabetically: A (+3) = D, D (+3) = G, G (+3) = J. Following this pattern, J (+3) = M. However, looking at the options and the standard alphabet A(1)-D(4)-G(7)-J(10)-M(13), 'l' seems to be the intended answer based on the pattern continuing to the next logical step.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern follows two rules: first letters advance consecutively (S, T, U, V, W), while second and third letters skip one each time (second: C, E, G, I, K; third: D, F, H, J, L). So the missing term is V-I-J = VIJ.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern alternates between matching brackets/parentheses: >< (mismatched), <> (matched), << (both left), ][ (mismatched), , [[ (both left), )( (mismatched). The next two should be matched and both left: () and [[. Option A has )) which breaks the pattern. Option B has )( which is mismatched. Option C has (( which should come after ().

  4. AB

  5. BF

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Taking the positions of letters A = 1, B = 2 and so on. Multiplying the combination by 2, 12 * 2 = 24 = BD Similarly, AC = 13 Multiplying it by 2, we get 13 * 2 = 26 = BF.

Multiple choice
  1. POLM

  2. PONK

  3. NMLK

  4. PONM

  5. POLK

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Considering the positions of letters, we get A = 1 : Z = 26 Again in the next case, B = 2 : Y = 25, which again sums to 27. Similarly, K = 11, so we need 16, which is P. L = 12, so we need 15, which is O. M = 13, so we need 14, which is N. N = 14, so we need 13, which is M. So, the code should be PONM.

Multiple choice
  1. PEAT

  2. PAET

  3. PTAE

  4. PETA

  5. AETP

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

As from the question, the letters of the word CASE are shuffled as first two letters become the last two letters and last two letters become the first two letters. So, TAPE will be PETA.

  5. X

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Adding the place values of A, C and E, we get 1 + 3 + 5 = 9, the place value of I. So, it is represented by I. Similarly, G = 7, H = 8 and I = 9. 7 + 8 + 9 = 24, which is represented by X. It is the correct answer.
