Q181.When you reverse the digits of the number 13, the number increases by 18. How many other two-digit numbers increase by 18 when their digits are reversed?
Correct Answer: B
Let the number be 10x + y. Reversed = 10y + x. We have (10y+x) - (10x+y) = 18 => 9(y-x) = 18 => y-x = 2 => y = x+2. The possible pairs of (x,y) are (1,3), (2,4), (3,5), (4,6), (5,7), (6,8), (7,9). This is 7 total numbers (13, 24, 35, 46, 57, 68, 79). Since the question asks for OTHER numbers, we exclude 13, leaving 7 - 1 = 6 numbers.
Q182.Complete the series: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, ______?
Correct Answer: A
The differences are increasing natural numbers: +1, +2, +3, +4, +5. The next step is 16 + 6 = 22.
Q183.Complete the series: 0, 5, 15, 20, 30, 35, ______?
Correct Answer: B
The series alternates adding 5 and adding 10: 0+5=5, 5+10=15, 15+5=20, 20+10=30, 30+5=35. The next term is 35 + 10 = 45.
Q184.Select the correct figure which completes the pattern of the circle:
Correct Answer: B
The lines in Option B continue the geometric and symmetrical pattern of the circle, matching the internal structure of the top-left and top-right parts.
Q185.Select the correct figure which does not belong to the group (arrow barbs):
Correct Answer: D
Figures A, B, and C have simple, single barbs or lines on the arrow shaft, whereas Figure D has a more complex, branched/double barb structure that does not fit the simple pattern.
Q186.Which of the following does not belong to the group?
Correct Answer: A
Figures B, C, and D are all diagrams of electrical connectors or components. Figure A is a diagram of a face, which does not belong to the group.
Q187.A man walks 3km northwards and then turns left and goes 2 km. He again goes left and walks 3 km. He turns right and walks straight. In which direction he is walking?
Correct Answer: D
Starting North: turning left leads West. Turning left again leads South. Turning right from South leads West. He is currently facing West.
Q188.Determine the total number of triangles present in the given figure.
Correct Answer: D
The figure contains 8 small triangles, 4 medium triangles (composed of 2 or 3 small ones), 3 larger triangles inside the main shape, and 1 largest whole outline triangle, totaling 16 triangles.
Q189.Select the correct option to complete the split square pattern:
Correct Answer: C
When the left square is split down the middle, the missing right half must supply the mirror-image pieces so the two large triangles and small corner shapes join at the center. Option C correctly completes these triangles and the zig-zag.
Q190.What comes next in the following series 64, 48, 40, 36, 34, ______?
Correct Answer: B
The differences are halved in each step: 64-16=48, 48-8=40, 40-4=36, 36-2=34. The next difference is -1, so 34 - 1 = 33.
Q191.Complete the series: 3, 9, 14, 18, 21, ______?
Correct Answer: B
The differences are decreasing: +6, +5, +4, +3. Next difference is +2, so 21 + 2 = 23.
Q192.Complete the series: 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, ______?
Correct Answer: A
The series increases by a common difference of 1 each step. Next number = 3.5 + 1 = 4.5.
Q193.Select the correct figure which completes the symmetrical triangular pattern:
Correct Answer: D
Option 4 is correct because it completes the symmetrical triangular line pattern radiating from the center, mirroring the other three quadrants.
Q194.Which figure completes the blank space of pattern (X) (rotations and corner triangles)?
Correct Answer: B
The shapes in the three visible boxes rotate clockwise by 90 degrees each step, and the black triangles in the corners also rotate. Option 2 continues this rotation accurately.
Q195.Select a figure which completes the pattern of figure (X):
Correct Answer: B
Option 2 correctly continues the line crossings and shading to complete the pattern of figure (X).
Q196.Select a figure which would complete the symmetrical design of (X):
Correct Answer: C
Option C (3) aligns with the intersecting lines of the existing quadrants to maintain overall symmetry and continuity.
Q197.Select a figure which completes the rotation and shading pattern:
Correct Answer: C
Option 3 (C) aligns with the rotation and shading sequence of the three-segment design in the previous rows and columns.
Q198.Identify the figure that completes the vertical and horizontal line pattern:
Correct Answer: C
The vertical and horizontal lines increase systematically. Option 3 has three vertical and three horizontal lines, which matches the logical progression.
Q199.Complete series 6,9,13,16,20,23____
Correct Answer: C
The pattern alternates between adding 3 and adding 4: 6+3=9, 9+4=13, 13+3=16, 16+4=20, 20+3=23. Next terms are 23+4=27 and 27+3=30.
Q200.If you write down all numbers from 1 to 100, how many times would you write the digit 3?
Correct Answer: C
Digit 3 appears in units place 10 times (3, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93) and in tens place 10 times (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39). Total = 20 times.
