The alphabet series follows a reverse pattern of subtracting 3 positions: R(18) – 3 = O(15), O – 3 = L(12), L – 3 = I(9), I – 3 = F(6). Finally, F(6) – 3 = C(3).
67. Find out the missing term :AC, FH, KM, PR, ?
(a) UX
(b) TV
(c) UW
(d) VW
Answer:
(c) UW
Explanation:
Each pair skips one letter internally (A-C, F-H, K-M, P-R). The gap between the first letter of each pair is +5 (A+5 = F, F+5 = K, K+5 = P). Following this, P+5 = U. The pair is U-W.
68. Complete the series :6, 11, 21, 36, 56, ?
(a) 42
(b) 81
(c) 51
(d) 91
Answer:
(b) 81
Explanation:
The difference between the numbers increases by multiples of 5: +5 (11), +10 (21), +15 (36), +20 (56). The next difference must be +25, so 56 + 25 = 81.
69. Which of the following words will come last in a dictionary?
(a) Predominate
(b) Preferential
(c) Predictor
(d) Predispose
Answer:
(b) Preferential
Explanation:
Alphabetizing the words: Predictor (P-r-e-d-i-c), Predispose (P-r-e-d-i-s), Predominate (P-r-e-d-o). Preferential (P-r-e-f) comes last because ‘f’ comes after ‘d’.
70. Arrange the following in a meaningful sequence: 1. Never, 2. Sometimes, 3. Generally, 4. Seldom, 5. Always
(a) 5, 2, 1, 3, 4
(b) 5, 2, 4, 3, 1
(c) 5, 3, 2, 1, 4
(d) 5, 3, 2, 4, 1
Answer:
(d) 5, 3, 2, 4, 1
Explanation:
The logical sequence ranks frequency from highest to lowest probability: Always (100%), Generally (~80%), Sometimes (~50%), Seldom (~20%), Never (0%). Thus, the order is 5, 3, 2, 4, 1.
