• Inserting the Missing Character - General questions

Some equations are solved on the basis of certain rule. Following the same rule find out the missing number

1 [3] 4 = 10, 3 [4] 6 = 26, 4 [5] 7 =?

Answer:

Explanation:

We have : 1 x 4 +3 x 2= 10, 3 x 6+ 4 x2=26.

.'. Missing number = 4 x 7 +5 x 2 = (28 + 10)= 38

 If the same functions are applied to teach the results in each of the three sets of numbers given below, then which number will replace the question mark in the third set of numbers?

Answer:

Explanation:

 In the first set, we have $(21-17)\times\frac{5+7}{2}=24$

In the second set, we have $(28-25)\times\frac{13+7}{2}=30$

.'.   In the third set, missing number $(16-10)\times\frac{2+8}{2}=30$

 In this question, which character when placed at the sign of interrogation shall complete the matrix?

Answer:

Explanation:

 In the first row, A moves 3 steps forward into,D, which again moves 3 steps forward into G. In the second row, D moves 5 steps forward into I, which again moves 5 steps forward into N. In the third row, I moves 7 steps forward into P. So, the missing letter will be 7 steps ahead of P, which is W.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x represent a number in the second row. Then, the corresponding number in the first row is represented by x² and that in the third row by 2x.So, missing number in the first row = 4² = 16

And, missing number in the third row = 2 x 4 = 8.

ln the question a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row - wise or column - wise.

Find out the trend and choose the missing character from the given alternatives.

Answer:

Explanation:

 In the first column; (1 + 4 + 2)² = 49

In the second column ; (4+2+2)² = 64

Let the missing number be x. Then, in-the third column, we have : (5+3+x)² = 169 = 13²

x + 5+3 = 13; .'. x = 13 - 8 = 5
