Question 21.


If ABCD = ZYXW, then CAB =______?


  1.      XZY
  2.      XYZ
  3.     YXZ
  4.      ZXY
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->  XZY
:
A

In the given pattern A = Z ; B = Y ; C = X ; D = W


 CAB = XZY


Question 22.


Find the next term of the geometric sequence:


3, 15, 75, 375…


  1.     1575
  2.     1825
  3.     1525
  4.     1875
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1875
:
D

The given sequence is 3, 15, 75, 375…


Let us divide each term in the above sequence by the term preceding it:


15÷3=5


75÷15=5


375÷75=5


We observe that each term in the sequece is 5 times the term preceding it.


So, the next term in the geometric sequence = 375×5=1875


Question 23.


State True or False:


10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 …is  a geometric sequence.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     YXZ
  4.      ZXY
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

The given sequence is 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 …


Here in the above sequence, we observe that each term is 10 times the previous term. 


So the sequence is a geometric sequence.


Question 24.


What will be the 8th term of the sequence: 6, 10, 14, 18…


  1.     30
  2.     34
  3.     36
  4.     32
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 34
:
B

The given sequence is 6, 10, 14, 18…


Let us calculate the difference between two consecutive terms:


10 - 6 = 4


14 - 10 = 4


18 - 14 = 4


We observe that the difference between two consecutive terms is 4 and each term is 4 more than the term preceding it.


So, the 8th term of the sequence = 6 + (8 - 1)×4 = 6 + 7×4 = 6 + 28 = 34


Question 25.


It is very rare to find patterns in our surroundings. 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.    
  4.    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Patterns are there all around us and is a very important form in nature.


Question 26.


Find the next two shapes in the given pattern:
Find The Next Two Shapes In The Given Pattern:


  1.    
  2.    
  3.    
  4.    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. ->
:
B

In the pattern above, a symbol of a heart is followed by two "greater than" symbols.


So, the next two shapes in the above pattern will be a heart followed by a "greater than" symbol.


 


Find The Next Two Shapes In The Given Pattern:


Question 27.


Find the next two figures in the given pattern:


Find The Next Two Figures In The Given Pattern:


  1.    
  2.    
  3.    
  4.    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
A

In the above pattern, a horizontal rectangle(purple in colour) is followed by a vertical rectangle(purple in colour), followed by a vertical rectangle(yellow in colour).


So, the next two figures in the above pattern will be a horizontal rectangle(purple in colour) followed by a vertical rectangle(purple in colour).


Question 28.


Find the next term of this pattern: ACT, BDT, CET, DFT


  1.     EAT
  2.     EFT
  3.     EGT
  4.     EHT
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> EGT
:
C

The given pattern is ACT,BDT,CET,DFT…..


We can split the sequence into three:


The sequence of the first alphabets: A, B, C, D, ... 


The next term in the above sequence is E.


 


The sequence of the second alphabets: C, D, E, F, ..


The next term in the above sequence is G.


 


The sequence of the third alphabets: T, T, T, T, ..


The third letter in all the terms is T. So, the next term in the above sequence is T.


 


On combining the terms from the three sequences, the next term of the pattern is EGT.


So, the pattern is ACT, BDT, CET, DFT, EGT.


Question 29.


What kind of a number pattern is this: 9, 12, 15, 18…


  1.     Odd number pattern
  2.     Even number pattern
  3.     Prime number pattern
  4.     Composite number pattern
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Composite number pattern
:
D

The given sequence is 9,12,15,18….


Now,


3×3=9


3×4=12


3×5=15


3×6=18


We observe that each term in the sequence is a multiple of 3. 


The above sequence has both odd and even numbers so it is neither an odd number pattern nor an even number pattern.


Also, none of the terms is a prime number, so it is not a prime number sequence.


Hence, the given sequence of numbers is a composite number pattern.


Question 30.


Find the next number in the sequence: 6, 11, 16, 21


  1.     30
  2.     25
  3.     26
  4.     31
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 26
:
C
The sequence follows: 6, 11, 16, 21
Starting from the left
6 = ( 5 × 1 ) + 1
11 = ( 5 × 2 ) + 1
16 = ( 5 × 3 ) + 1
21 = ( 5 × 4 ) + 1
Each term is one more than the the corresponding multiple of 5.
So, the next term will be 
( 5 × 5 ) + 1 = 26
