38, 195, ?, 4905, 24530, 122655

A) 980 B) 885

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

 

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

 

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

 

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

 

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

Q:

Lethargic : Vital :: Trite : ?

A) Unique B) Slug
C) Lazy D) Skinny
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Unique

Explanation:

Lethargic means "sluggish", kind of inactive

Vital means full of energy, lively

So, they are antonyms.

So, for the 2nd part of the analogy, you are looking for a antonym to trite

Trite means lacking originality or freshness. Overused. Kind of like a cliche

So, an antonym could be original, unique, innovative.

A) 211 B) 101.5

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Wednesday

Explanation:

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.
