LYG, JWE, HUC, FSA, ?
A. DQY B. BOX C. EPZ D. CPX
Soln
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
Soln
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
Soln
24685 → 42867
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
Soln
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
Soln
35796 → 44887
Pattern: (+1, −1, +1, −1, +1),
Now apply to 46823: (4+1=5 / 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 fun’ Which 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: 24 → Blue colour, 436 → Colour is fun
Common word Colour → common number 4, So, 4 = Colour
3. Find the common word again: 526 → Sky is blue, 436 → Colour 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 day→ Numbers: 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.
