Question 15: Which of the following will come next in the following series ?
0 9 0 1 9 0 1 2 9 0 1 2 3 9 0 1 2 3 4 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 9 0 1 2 3 4 5

a) 0

b) 6

c) 9

d) 7

e) 4

Arrangement : 9 1 9 8 2 9 8 7 3 9 8 7 6 4 9 8 7 6 5 5 9 8 7 6 5 4 6 9 8 7 6 5 4

The pattern followed is that in alternate groups of numbers, one digit starting from ‘1’ in increasing order are written and in the other group digits in decreasing order are written with one digit appended after each new group.

9 , 1 , 9 8 , 2 , 9 8 7 , 3 , 9 8 7 6 , 4 , 9 8 7 6 5 , 5 , 9 8 7 6 5 4 , 6 , 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

Thus, next number = 3

=> Ans – (C)

Arrangement : 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

If all the even digits are deleted, then

= 1 5 1 5 3 5 7 9 5 1 1 5 7

10th from right end = 5

=> Ans – (A)

Arrangement : 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

4’s which are immediately preceded by a digit which has a numerical value more than four = (>4) (4)

= 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

Thus, there are two such 4’s.

=> Ans – (C)

Series : ZA BY XC DW ?

The pattern followed is that alphabets starting from end are written in alternate order to those of starting from top

= (Z)A , B(Y) , (X)C , D(W)

Thus, next term = VE

=> Ans – (E)

Based on the English alphabet, the above arrangement follows the following pattern :

The first alphabet in each word is

C –(+6)–> I –(+6)–> O –(+6)–> U

The second alphabet is

C –(+2)–> E

$\therefore$ U –(+2) –> W

And the third alphabet is

C –(-2)–> A

$\therefore$ U –(-2) –> S

Thus, UWS wil be the next letter in the series.

Arrangement : 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

21st from left end = 6

9th to the left of 6 = 6

=> Ans – (C)

Arrangement : 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

5’s which are immediately preceded by an odd digit and immediately followed by an even digit

= (odd) (5) (even)

1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

Thus, there are 3 such 5’s.

=> Ans – (D)

The above series is the combination of two series i.e. :

PQRST & ABCDE

After that, last alphabet of the first series is removed => PQRS & ABCDE

Then ,the last alphabet of the second series is removed => PQRS & ABCD

After that, S should be removed => PQR & ABCD

Clearly, the next letter is R.

If all letters at odd positions are written in serial order from left to right, then this series will be :

A C E G I K M O Q S U W Y

After this even positioned letters are written in reverse, the series becomes :

A C E G I K M O Q S U W Y , Z X V T R P N L J H F D B

Now, 17th letter from left end = T

6th letter to the left of T = U

Thus, Ans – (D)

Arrangement : 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

1’s which are immediately followed by a perfect square

= (1) (perfect square)

= 1 5 8 4 2 1 5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 1 4 1 5 6 8 7 4

Thus, there is only one such 1.

=> Ans – (B)

This series is made from a combination of two series from the first 15 alphabets of the English alphabet.

First series is : The letters at odd positions => A C E G I K M O

Second series is : The letters at even positions => B D F H J L N

Then, the last letter from each series is removed. Thus making it : A C E G I K M B D F H J L

Again, after removing the last letter(i.e. M & L) => A C E G I K B D F H J

Clearly, the next letter after A is ‘C’.

If all the alphabets of the word DETRIMENT are rearranged in alphabetical order, then

DETRIMENT $\Leftrightarrow$ DEEIMNRTT

Clearly, the position of only 3 alphabets have remain same, i.e. D, E(first), T(second).

let the two numbers be a and b , where b is the smaller number

$(a)^2$ + $(b)^2$ = 11570

$(a)^2$ + 5329 = 11570

$(a)^2$ = 6241 = 79 x 79

a = 79

Hence option D is correct

Number – ‘79246358’

If the digits are arranged in descending order from left to right, new number = 98765432

Difference between the digits which are third from the right and second from the left = $8-4=4$

=> Ans – (D)
