Number series · solved example
Find the next term: 5, 10, 20, 40, ?
Solution
Each term doubles the previous one: 5 × 2 = 10, 10 × 2 = 20, 20 × 2 = 40, so the next term is 40 × 2 = 80. This is a simple geometric progression with ratio 2.
Coding-decoding · solved example
If POLICE is coded as QPMJDF, how is GUARD coded?
Solution
Each letter is shifted one place forward: P→Q, O→P, L→M, I→J, C→D, E→F. Applying the same +1 shift to GUARD gives H, V, S, B, E — that is, HVSBE.
Direction sense · solved example
Ravi walks 4 km north, then turns right and walks 3 km. How far is he from the starting point?
Solution
Ravi's path forms a right triangle with legs 4 km (north) and 3 km (east). By Pythagoras, distance from start = √(4² + 3²) = √25 = 5 km.
Blood relations · solved example
A is the father of B. B is the mother of C. How is A related to C?
Solution
A is B's father and B is C's mother, so A is the father of C's parent — that makes A the grandfather (or grandparent) of C. Father and uncle would require a different chain.
