Q:

Pick the odd man out of the folowing number sequence?

123 112 133 112 143

A) 143 B) 122
C) 133 D) 112
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 122

Explanation:

Here the given series is 123 112 133 112 143

It follows a pattern that,

123

123 - 11 = 112

112 + 21 = 133

133 - 31 = 102 (not 122)

102 + 41 = 143

 

Hence, the odd man in the given number sequence is 122 instead of 102.

Q:

Direction: What value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?

12.5×14÷8.75+42=50+?

A) 18 B) 12
C) 32 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

By replacing the “?” with “x”

(12.5×14÷8.75) x (100/100) + 42 = 50 + X

(125*140)/875 + 42 = 50 + X

140/7 + 42 = 50 + X

20 + 42 = 50 + X

62 = 50 + X

X = 62 - 50

X = 12
