If 5 August, 2005 was a Saturday, what day of the week was it on 3 August, 2004?
- A.
Saturday
- B.
Friday
- C.
Thursday
- D.
Wednesday
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
Let us count odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 5th August, 2005.
Number of odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 3rd August, 2005 is 1.
Then we have 2 more days from 3rd August, 2005 till 5th August, 2005.
∴ There are total 3 odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 5th August, 2005
So, the day on 3rd August, 2004 + 3 days = Saturday
⇒ the day on 3rd August, 2004 = Saturday - 3 days = Wednesday.
Hence, option (d).

If 924 is 942, then what is 752?
- A.
752
- B.
572
- C.
725
- D.
275
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
924 = 942
Here, the middle digit '2' is the power of the remaining number '94'
Hence, in 752, middle digit '5' will be the power of remaining number '72'.
∴ 752 = 725
Hence, option (c).

Find the next term of the series: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, ___
- A.
28
- B.
27
- C.
26
- D.
29
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
Add consecutive naturals numbers starting from 1 in each of the given terms to obtain the next term.
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 5 = 16
16 + 6 = 22
⇒ 22 + 7 = 29
Hence, option (d).

Find the next term of the sequence: V2U2W, V2U2W2, V2U2W3, ___
- A.
V2U2W3
- B.
V2U2W4
- C.
V2U2W5
- D.
None of these
- E.

Find the wrong term of the series and which number should replace it to make the sequence correct: 24, 34, 36, 51, 48, 68, 60, 85, 70, 102.
- A.
70, 72
- B.
60, 58
- C.
68, 70
- D.
48, 60
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
Alternate terms form 2 different series.
34, 51, 68, 85, 102 is an AP with common difference of 17
24, 36, 48, 60, 70 is an AP with common difference of 12.
In this series instead of 70, 72 should have been there.
Hence, option (a).

If 1st April is 1st Wednesday, then find on which date will be the 11th Wednesday?
- A.
11th June
- B.
12th June
- C.
10th June
- D.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
2nd Wednesday will be after 7 days.
3rd Wednesday will be after 14 days.
4th Wednesday will be after 21 days.
...
11th Wednesday will be after 10 × 7 = 70 days.
We need to count 77th day after 1st April.
April has 29 days remaining,
May has 31 days
Total 60 days. We have 70 - 60 = 10 more days.
∴ 10th April will be 11th Wednesday.
Hence, option (c).

Find the next term of the series: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 31, ___
- A.
41
- B.
43
- C.
45
- D.
None of these
- E.
Add consecutive even naturals numbers starting from 2 in each of the given terms to obtain the next term.
1 + 2 = 3
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 6 = 13
13 + 8 = 21
21 + 10 = 31⇒ 31 + 12 = 43
Hence, option (b).

If BOSS and ZEBRAS are spelled as 8055 and 238945 respectively, then how is LEETS spelled as?
- A.
93365
- B.
18875
- C.
79965
- D.
13375
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
BOSS = 8055
ZEBRAS = 238945
∴ B = 8
O = 0
S = 5
Z = 2
E = 3
R = 9
A = 4
⇒ LEETS will be coded as _ 3 3 _ 5
∴ Only options (a) and (d) are possible.
If you notice the shape of the letter and the digit representing the letter, they are very similar.
Code of L can be 1 and for T can be 7.
Hence, of (a) and (d), (d) is the best possible answer.
Hence, option (a).

- A.
1
- B.
2/1
