LYG, JWE, HUC, FSA, ?


A. DQY  B. BOX  C. EPZ  D. CPX



LYG → JWE → HUC → FSA → ?


Observe each letter separately:


L → J → H → F → D (−2) [1st Alphabet of each]
Y → W → U → S → Q (−2) [2nd Alphabet of each]
G → E → C → A → Y (−2) [3rd Alphabet of each]


So next term = DQY


Ans: A. DQY


Q. 91 : 64 :: ? : 36


Option: (A) 48   (B) 98  (C) 61   (D) 82



91 : 64 (Pattern 9 - 1 = 82 = 64)


 Now apply to: 36 (Pattern: 62 = 36)


82 : 36 (Pattern 8 - 2 = 62 =36)


Ans: (D) 82


Q. If 24685 = 42867, then 35791= ?


Option: (A) 37954   (B) 53973  (C) 45627   (D) 69352




Pattern: 2nd, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 5th + 2 


Now apply to: 35791  


Pattern: 5, 3, 9, 7, 1+2 = 3 = 53973


Ans: (B) 53973


Q. 30 : 130 :: ? : 222


Option: (A) 180  (B) 122   (C) 82  (D) 42




Observe the pattern: 30 + 100 = 130


Similarly, 122 + 100 = 222


Ans: (B) 122






Q. If 35796 = 44887, then 46823 = ?


Option: (A) 57914   (B) 55914   (C) 55714   (D) 55934




Pattern: (+1, −1, +1, −1, +1),


Now apply to 46823: ( 6-1=5 / 8+1=9 / 2−1=1 / 3+1=4) = 55914


Ans: (B) 55914


1. In a certain code language: ‘678’ means ‘How are you  ‘347 means How is life’ ‘569’ means You were wonderful’ Which number is used for ‘You’?


Options: (1) 6  (2) 3  (3) 4   (4) 7   (5) None of these


Soln


      Compare ‘678’ - How are you and ‘347’ - How is life - Common word = How, Common number = 7, 7 = How


      Now in ‘678’, remaining numbers 6, 8 represent are / you


      Compare ‘678’ (How are you) and ‘569’ (You were wonderful)


 Common word = You, Common number = 6, You = 6, Ans: 6


TRICK: Common Word – Common Number Rule. Find the common word in the given meanings > Find the common number in the given codes > Common word = Common number


2. In a certain code language: ‘526’ means Sky is blue’ 24 means Blue colour’ 436 means Colour is funWhich number is used for fun?


Options: (1) 3   (2) 6   (3) 5   (4) 4


Soln


Find common word & common number: 526 → Sky is blue, 24 → Blue colour


Common word Blue → common number 2, So, 2 = Blue


2. Fix the next common pair: 24Blue colour, 436 → Colour is fun


Common word Colour → common number 4, So, 4 = Colour


3. Find the common word again: 526Sky is blue, 436Colour is fun


Common word is → common number 6, So, 6 = is


Remaining number = fun: In 436, numbers are 4, 3, 6, 4 = Colour, 6 = is


Remaining 3 = fun, Ans: 3


3. In a certain code language: ‘123’ means ‘Hot filtered coffee‘356’ means ‘Very hot day’ ‘589’ means ‘Day and night’


   Which number is used for ‘very’?


Options: (1) 5  (2) 6  (3) 8  (4) 9  (5) 2


Soln


Compare ‘123’ (Hot filtered coffee) and ‘356’ (Very hot day) Common word = Hot, Common number = 3, 3 = Hot


  Compare ‘356’ (Very hot day) and ‘589’ (Day and night)Common word = Day, Common number = 5, 5 = Day


  Now look at ‘356’ = Very hot dayNumbers: 3, 5, 6, 3 = Hot, 5 = Day, Remaining number 6 = Very


Ans: 6


Exam Trick: Find common words → match common numbers → the leftover number gives the answer.

Q) FL: BH :: RY : NU :: GM : ?


Options: A) CI  B) CL  C) CP  D) DI


Soln / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ

Observe the pattern:



  • FL → BH : [F → B (−4), L → H (−4)]

  • RY → NU : [ R → N (−4), Y → U (−4)]


So, the rule is: Each letter is shifted 4 places backward in the alphabet.  (āĻĒā§ā§°āϤāĻŋāĻŸā§‹ āφāĻ–ā§° āĻŦā§°ā§āĻŖāĻŽāĻžāϞāĻžāϤ 4 āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻžāύ āĻĒāĻŋāĻ›āϞ⧈ āĻ¸ā§°ā§‹ā§ąāĻž āĻšā§ˆāϛ⧇āĨ¤)


Now apply the same rule to GM: [G → C (−4), M → I (−4)]


Therefore, GM → CI


Ans / āωāĻ¤ā§āϤ⧰: A) CI

Q) BNLP : YMOK :: KGDU : ?


Options: A) PTXG  B) PTWF  C) QUWF  D) QUXG


Soln / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ


Observe the first pair: BNLP → YMOK


Using opposite letters (A ↔ Z, B ↔ Y, C ↔ X, ...)


 Letter : Opposite: B ↔ Y, N ↔ M, L ↔ O, P ↔ K


So, BNLP → YMOK


Now apply the same rule to KGDU:


 Letter : Opposite: K ↔ P, G ↔ T, D ↔ W, U ↔ F


 Therefore, KGDU → PTWF

Ans: B) PTWF


Shortcut / āϚāĻŽā§ āĻ•ā§ŒāĻļāϞ

Use the Reverse Alphabet Rule: A ↔ Z, B ↔ Y, C ↔ X, D ↔ W, E ↔ V, F ↔ U, G ↔ T, H ↔ S, I ↔ R, J ↔ Q, K ↔ P, L ↔ O, M ↔ N


KGDU K→P, G→T, D→W, U→F PTWF


Q) SLIP = 208, DICE = 348 RICE = ? Option: A 192 B 292 C287 D 176


Soln : Let's use reverse alphabetical values: Reverse value = 27 − Alphabet Position



  • Normal: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z

  • Reverse: z, y, x, w, v, u, t, s, r, q, p, o, n, m, l, k, j, i, h, g, f, e, d, c, b, a


Check SLIP: S = 8, L = 15, I = 18, P = 11


Sum = 8 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 52


52 × 4 = 208


Check DICE: D = 23, I = 18, C = 24, E = 22


Sum = 23 + 18 + 24 + 22 = 87


87 × 4 = 348


Find RICE : R = 9, I = 18, C = 24, E = 22


Sum = 9 + 18 + 24 + 22 = 73


73 × 4 = 292


Ans: (B) 292


Q. FIGHT = 45 , VENT = 57 , TREND = ?


Option : A. 62 , B. 71 C. 56 , D. 43


Soln


FIGHT = 45


VENT = 57


TREND = ?


Ans :


FIGHT = 45


F - 6, I - 9, G -7, H - 8, T - 20


6+9+7+8+20 = 50


50-5 = 45 , Substract nos of alphabet in the word.


VENT = 57


V - 22, E - 5, N - 14, T - 20


22+5+14+20 = 61


61-4 = 57 , Substract nos of alphabet in the word.


TREND = ?


T- 20, R - 18, E - 5, N - 14, D - 4


20+18+5+14+4 = 61


61-5 = 56 , Substract nos of alphabet in the word.


Q. In a code language : CAR = 234 FAT = 256 to C = 468 then 'F' = ?  (A) 6 (B) 2 (C) 5 (4D) 4


Reason: In the code FAT = 256, the first digit corresponds to F,so F = 2.


Ans: 2

Q (i) CG → YA  (ii) DH → ZB  (iii) HL → DE  (iv) UY → QS, Option:  A. i,  B. ii,  C. iii,  D. iv


Trick: +4, +2Note: Apply +4 to the first letter and +2 to the second letter, using the alphabet cyclically (after Z, start again from A).

(i) CG → YA : C + 4 = G, Y + 2 = A


(ii) DH → ZB : D + 4 = H, Z + 2 = B

(iii) HL → DE : H + 4 = L, D + 2 = F, not E

(iv) UY → QS : U + 4 = Y,  Q + 2 = S

Ans: (iii) HL → DE is the incorrect pair / odd one out.


Trick: 1st letter → +4, 2nd letter → +2
