  3. H10R

  4. I10R

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

The series has three interwoven patterns. The first letters decrease by 3 (N→K→H→E→B). The numbers follow +2, +3, +4, +5 pattern (5→7→10→14→19). The last letters decrease by 2 (V→T→R→P→N). Only H10R satisfies all three patterns.

Multiple choice

  2. Y66B

  3. Y88B

  4. Z88B

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

The first letters increase by 2 (Q→S→U→W→Y). The last letters decrease by 1 (F→E→D→C→B). The numbers follow n×(n+1)+(n+1): 1, 2, 6, 21, 88. Only Y88B satisfies all three conditions.

Multiple choice
  1. BX17

  2. BY17

  3. CY17

  4. CZ17

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

The first letters decrease by 2 each time (K→I→G→E→C). The middle numbers increase by 3 (5→8→11→14→17). The last letters decrease by 2 (M→P→S→V→Y). Only CY17 fits all three patterns.

Multiple choice
  1. K25P

  2. L25P

  3. L25O

  4. L27P

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

The first letters increase by 3 (C→F→I→L). The middle numbers follow squares: 4, 9, 16, 25. The last letters decrease by 3 (X→U→R→O). L25O is the only option satisfying all patterns.

Multiple choice
  1. 27U24

  2. 45U15

  3. 47U15

  4. 47V14

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

The series follows three patterns: first numbers are 2, 7, 14, 23, 34, 47 (differences 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 - consecutive odd numbers). Letters decrease by 1 (Z→Y→X→W→V→U). Last numbers increase by 2 (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15). Only 47U15 satisfies all.

Multiple choice
  1. K-12, M-13

  2. L-12, M-14

  3. L-12, N-14

  4. K-12, M-14

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

In each step,both the numbers and letters are taking a forward step of 2. hence the next two letter after J will be L and N and the next two numbers after 10 are 12 and 14.

  2. 36J21

  3. 48J21

  4. 48J23

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

The first numbers follow n! pattern: 2, 4, 12, 48 (2!=2, 2!×2=4, 4!×3=12, 12×4=48). First letters increase by 2 (A→D→G→J). Last numbers increase by 2 (11→13→17→23). Only 48J23 satisfies all conditions.

B Correct answer
Explanation

According to the English alphabet, the code of the word BUT is the sum of backward positions of each letter. As, BUT = 25 + 6 + 7 => 38 Similarly, YET = 2 + 22 + 7 => 31 This is the correct answer.

C Correct answer
Explanation

According to the English alphabet, the code of CASK is the sum of one more than the positions of each letter. As, CASK = (3 + 1) + (1 + 1) + (19 + 1) + (11 + 1) => 38 Similarly, CAR = (3 + 1) + (1 + 1) + (18 + 1) => 25 This is the correct answer.
