    ∴ Missing number =(17×9)-(9×7)=90.
  3. 1.18
    2.20
    3.23
    4.25
    Answer Key: 2
    Explanation: The pattern is: (65+25) – (33+25) =32, (32+9)-(15+6)=20.

  4. 1.27
    2.15
    3.30
    4.63
    Answer Key: 4
    Explanation: Going  anticlockwise starting from 0, the terms are : 12 - 1, 22 - 1, 32 - 1. So, missing number = 42 - 1 = 15. So answer is option 2
  5. 1.64
    2.18
    3.24
    4.27
    Answer Key: 1
    Explanation: Going anticlockwise starting from 1, numbers are 13,23,33, 43. So missing number is 64
    So answer is option 1
  1. 1.41
    2.43
    3.31
    4.40
    Answer Key: 1
    Explanation: In the each row middle term is average of extreme terms 17+15/2 = 16, 52+26/2 = 39. So, missing number =37+45/2 = 41.Hence, the answer is option 1
  2. 1.F
    2.G
    3.H
    4.K
    Answer Key: 1
    Explanation: Positions of alphabets (A to Z) is (1-26)    we have:
    In the first column, P-A=16-1=15=O.
    In the second column, J-D=10-4=6=F.
    So, in the third column, missing letter =O-I=15-9=6 =F
    So the answer is option 1
  3. Find the missing term in each of the following
    1.445
    2.446
    3.472

    2.206
    3.106
    4.100
    Answer Key: 2
    Explanation: The pattern is middle number is sum of extreme terms. So, missing number = 52+48+49+57=206 So the answer is option 2
  6. 1.216
    2.343
    3.215
    4.342
    Answer Key: 3
    Explanation: Pattern is that each number are of the form N3 - 1.
    N= 3 which gives 33 - 1= 26
    N= 4 which gives 43 - 1= 63
    N= 5 which gives 53 - 1= 124
    Hence answer would be N= 6 which gives 63 - 1= 215
    So answer is option 3
  7. 1.832
    2.777
    3.245
    4.779
