Question 1: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 29

b) 27

c) 30

d) 24

1) Answer (B)

Solution:

Along the rows, the second number is obtained by dividing the first number by 6 or dividing the third number by 4 as shown below

$\frac{150}{6}=25$   or    $\frac{100}{4}=25$

$\frac{132}{6}=22$   or    $\frac{88}{4}=22$

Similarly, the required number = $\frac{162}{6}=27$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Instructions

In the following questions, select the missing number from the given responses.

Question 2: 

a) 64

b) 69

c) 65

d) 68

2) Answer (D)

Solution:

13 $\times$ 2 + 4 = 30

15 $\times$ 4 + 5 = 65

12 $\times$ 5 + 8 = 68

Question 3: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 17

b) 1

c) 19

d) 7

3) Answer (A)

Solution:

From the table along the rows,

1 + 5 = 6

6 + 7 = 13

Third number is equal to first number and second number along the rows.

Similarly along the third row,

The missing number = 8 + 9 = 17

Hence, the correct answer is Option A

Question 4: Select the missing number from the given responses.

a) -6

b) 1

c) -1

d) 14

4) Answer (A)

Solution:

From the table along the rows,

7 – 4 = 3

1 – 5 = -4

Difference between the first number and second number along the rows is equal to the third number.

Let the missing number = a

Similarly along the second row,

4 – 10 = a

$\Rightarrow$  a = -6

$\therefore\ $The missing number = -6

Hence, the correct answer is Option A

Question 5: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 2

b) 10

c) 7

d) 11

5) Answer (B)

Solution:

From the table along the columns,

2 – 2 = 0

7 – 9 = -2

Difference of first number and second number is equal to third number along the columns.

Let the missing number = a

Similarly along the second column,

4 – a = -6

$\Rightarrow$  a = 10

$\therefore\ $The missing number = 10

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 6: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 10

b) 8

c) -6

d) 6

6) Answer (C)

Solution:

Along the second column and third column,

6 – 3 = 3

6 – 1 = 5

Difference of first two numbers in a column is equal to the third number in the column.

Let the missing number = a

Similarly from the first column,

2 – 8 = a

$\Rightarrow$  a = -6

$\therefore\ $The missing number = -6

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 7: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 21

b) 14

c) 6

d) 3

7) Answer (B)

Solution:

From the table along the columns,

10 + 2 = 12

7 + 2 = 9

Sum of first number and second number is equal to third number along the columns.

Let the missing number = a

Similarly along the third column,

4 + 10 = a

$\Rightarrow$  a = 14

$\therefore\ $The missing number = 14

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 8: Select the missing number from the given responses.

a) 1

b) 9

c) -1

d) -9

8) Answer (B)

Solution:

From the table along the columns,

8 + 9 = 17

2 + 8 = 10

Sum of the top two numbers is equal to the bottom number in a column.

Let the required number = a

Similarly, 10 + a = 19

$\Rightarrow$  a = 9

$\therefore\ $The required number = 9

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 9: Select the missing number from the given responses:

a) 1

b) -1

c) 15

d) 4

9) Answer (C)

Solution:

From the table along the columns,

8 + 4 = 12

8 + 5 = 13

Sum of first number and second number is equal to third number along the column.

From the second column, the required number = 7 + 8 = 15

Hence, the correct answer is Option C

Question 10: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 6

b) 14

c) 1

d) 17

10) Answer (B)

Solution:

From the table,

1 + 7 = 8

4 + 5 = 9

Along the rows, sum of first number and second number is equal to the third number.

Similarly, the required number = 4 + 10 = 14

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 11: Select the missing number from the given responses

a) 3

b) 9

c) -3

d) 11

11) Answer (D)

Solution:

Along the columns,

$1+2=3$

$2+10=12$

Sum of the first and second number is equal to the third number along the columns.

Similarly, the required number $=4+7=11$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Question 12: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it?

a) 14

b) 24

c) 30

d) 28

12) Answer (A)

Solution:

$\frac{299 + 100}{21} = \frac{399}{21}$ = 19
$\frac{296 + 100}{18} = \frac{396}{18}$ = 22
Similarly,
$\frac{348 + 100}{32} = \frac{448}{32}$ = 14
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option A.

Question 13: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 4

b) 3

c) 5

d) 6

13) Answer (C)

Solution:

$\frac{29 + 3}{8} = \frac{32}{8} = 4$
$\frac{71 + 6}{11} = \frac{77}{11} = 7$
$\frac{67 + 3}{14} = \frac{70}{14} = 5$
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option C.

Question 14: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 27

b) 28

c) 29

d) 25

14) Answer (B)

Solution:

The logic here is

$\left(10-3\right)\times2=14$

$\left(49-15\right)\times2=68$

Along the rows, twice the difference of first number and second number is equal to third number.

Similarly from the third row, the required number = $\left(33-19\right)\times2=28$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 15: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 217

b) 203

c) 199

d) 195

15) Answer (D)

Solution:

The logic here is

Along first row

11 + 2 = 13

13 + 4 = 17

Along second row

33 + 2 = 35

35 + 4 = 39

Along the rows, second number is the sum of first number and 2, third number is the sum of second number and 4.

Similarly,

Along the third row

189 + 2 = 191

191 + 4 = 195

$\therefore\ $The required number = 195

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

a) 71

b) 77

c) 63

d) 59

16) Answer (D)

Solution:

(7 $\times$ 3) – (7 + 3) = 21 – 10 = 11
(4 $\times$ 9) – (4 + 9) = 36 – 13 = 23
Similarly,
(11 $\times$ 7) – (11 + 7) = 77 – 18 = 59
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

Question 17: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 268

b) 166

c) 164

d) 162

17) Answer (D)

Solution:

(28$\times 36)\div 4 = 1008/4 = 252$
(30$\times 32)\div 4 = 960/4 = 240$
Similarly,
(36$\times 18)\div 4 = 648/4 = 162$
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

Question 18: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

a) 150

b) 145

c) 180

(50 $\times 56) \div 8 = 2800/8 = 350$
(48 $\times 32) \div 8 = 1536/8 = 192$
Similarly,
(30 $\times 40) \div 8 = 1200/8 = 150$
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option A.

a) 83

b) 71

c) 79

d) 81

19) Answer (D)

Solution:

14 $\times$ 4 – 7 = 49, 49 $\times$ 4 = 196 – 7 = 189
17 $\times$ 4 – 7 = 61, 61 $\times$ 4 = 244 – 7 = 237
Similarly,
22 $\times$ 4 – 7 = 81, 81 $\times$ 4 = 324 – 7 = 317
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

Solution:

(15 – 14) $\times 10  = 1 \times 10$ = 10
(8 – 6) $\times 7 = 2 \times 7$ = 14
(25 – 12) $\times 5 = 13 \times 5$ = 65
