Analogy · solved example
Doctor is to Patient as Lawyer is to:
Solution
A doctor serves a patient just as a lawyer serves a client. The relationship is between the professional and the person they are engaged to help.
Number series · solved example
Find the missing term: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?
Solution
The differences are the odd numbers 3, 5, 7, 9, so the next difference is 11 and the term is 26 + 11 = 37.
Coding-decoding · solved example
If CAT is coded as 24 by adding the alphabet positions of its letters (3 + 1 + 20), then DOG is coded as:
Solution
Add the alphabet positions: D = 4, O = 15, G = 7, so 4 + 15 + 7 = 26.
Odd one out · solved example
Find the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Mango, Lily, Jasmine.
