95Correct
94
96
91

Each term is double the previous plus one: 5×2+1=11, 11×2+1=23, 23×2+1=47, and 47×2+1=95.

Analogy · solved example

Compass : Direction :: Anchor : ?

StabilityCorrect
Speed
Fuel

Solution

A compass helps determine direction; an anchor keeps a vessel stable and prevents drifting — the functional relationship is tool to purpose.

Direction sense · solved example

A boat travels 6 km east, then 8 km north. How far is it from the starting point?

10 kmCorrect
14 km
12 km
9 km

Solution

The path forms a right triangle with legs 6 km and 8 km. Distance from start = √(6²+8²) = √(36+64) = √100 = 10 km.

Coding-decoding · solved example

If 'BOAT' is coded as 'CPBU', how is 'CREW' coded using the same pattern?

DSFXCorrect
DSFW
CRFX
DRFX

Solution

Each letter moves one place forward: C→D, R→S, E→F, W→X. So CREW becomes DSFX.
