Verbal Reasoning - MCQ Practice Questions

Pattern: 2n(n+1) for n=1,2,3... gives 2, 8, 18, 32, 50, 72, 98

Pattern: 5×1, 5×3, 5×6, 5×10, 5×15, 5×21. Multipliers follow triangular numbers: 105

Differences: +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +9. So 37 + 9 = 46

Each term follows 2ⁿ - 1: (2¹-1), (2³-1), (2⁴-1), (2⁵-1), (2⁶-1), (2⁷-1) = 127

Factorial series: 1!, 2!, 3!, 4!, 5!, 6! = 720

Each term is (previous × 2) + 1: (5×2)+1=11, (11×2)+1=23, (23×2)+1=47, (47×2)+1=95, (95×2)+1=191

Pattern: Squares of prime numbers. 2²=4, 3²=9, 5²=25, 7²=49, 11²=121, 13²=169, 17²=289. The series consists of squares of consecutive prime numbers.

JANUARY→TRCFYPC: Reverse first, then shift. JANUARY reversed=YRAUNAJ. Then Y→T(-5), R→R(0), A→C(+2), U→F(+5), N→Y(+11), A→P(+15), J→C(+5). For FEBRUARY: Reversed=YRAURBEF. Apply same operations considering position mapping.

TIGER→QDFHS: T(-1)=S (no), actually T→Q(-3), I→D(-5), G→F(-1), E→H(+3), R→S(+1). Pattern is complex. For ZEBRA: Z(-1)=Y, E(-1)=D (no). Checking TIGER again: positions 1-5 map to code letters. T(20)→Q(17)(-3), I(9)→D(4)(-5), G(7)→F(6)(-1), E(5)→H(8)(+3), R(18)→S(19)(+1). ZEBRA: Z(26)→X(24)(-2), E(5)→Z(26) (no). Re-examining: reverse the word. REGIT→QDFHS? No. TIGER: T→Q, I→D, G→F, E→H, R→S. For ZEBRA: Z→X(-2), E→Z(+24 wraps), B→A(-1), R→Q(-1), A→Y(+24 wraps) ≈ XZAQY or XZAPY. Answer: XZAOY suggests different pattern.

GARDEN→HBSERD: Reverse and shift. GARDEN reversed = NEDRAG. Then N→H(-6), E→B(-3), D→S(+15 or -11), R→E(-13), A→R(+17), G→D(-3). Applying to LISTEN: Reversed = NETLSI. N→M(-1), E→J(+5), T→Q(-3), L→U(+9), S→D(-15 or wraps), I→M(+4) = MJQUDM or similar.

BETWEEN→CGUYGYK: B(+1)=C, E(+1)=F (no, G is option), E(+1)=F, T(+1)=U, W(+1)=X (no, Y is option), E(+1)=F (no, G), E(+1)=F (no, Y), N(+1)=O (no, K). Pattern may be alternating or positional. Checking THROUGH with option A UIUSPVJ: T→U(+1), H→I(+1), R→U(-3 or wraps), O→S(+4), U→P(-5), G→V(+15), H→J(+2). Inconsistent shifts suggest different pattern.

PLANET→TSYXPD: Reverse the word first. PLANET reversed = TENALP. T→T(0), E→S(-6 or wraps), N→Y(+11), A→X(+23 or -3), L→P(+4), P→D(-12). For MOBILE reversed = ELIBOM. E→Q(+12), L→Z(+14), I→O(+6), B→X(+22), O→J(-5), M→C(-10) = QZOXJC (approximately, with wrapping)

FRIEND→GSKFNC: F(+1)=G, R(+1)=S, I(+1)=J (no, K=11), E(+1)=F, N(+1)=O (no, N=14), D(+1)=C (no, E=5). Different pattern: reverse then modify. FRIEND reversed = DNEIVF. D→G(+3), N→S(+5), E→K(+6), I→F(-3), R→N(-4), F→C(-3). For DANGER reversed = REGNAD. R→E(-13 or +13), E→B(-3), G→O(+8), N→H(-6), A→Q(+16), D→S(+15) = EBOHQS (approximately with wrapping logic)

C(consonant)→C(+0? or rule differs), R(consonant)→U(+3), I(vowel)→I(no shift), C→D(+1), K→M(+2), E(vowel)→G(+2 not +3), T→U(+1). Pattern shows vowels handled differently.

D→H(+4), E→E, F→F, R→R, O→O, S→T(+1), T→Z(+6). Pattern unclear - verify against options.

DRAGON reversed is NOGARD. Then shift each by +1: N→O, O→P, G→H, A→B, R→S, D→E gives OPHBSE. Check: N→O, O→P, G→H, A→B, R→S, D→E. Close to option A structure.

P→D, L→Q, A→Z, T→U, F→Q, O→W, R→J, M→N shows varying shifts: P(+/−), L(+5), A(+25), etc., indicating polyalphabetic (varying) substitution rather than fixed Caesar shift.

1st & last letters remain same, middle letters: A→Z, P→U, T→U for LAPTOP. For TABLET: T stays, A→Z, B→V, L→W, E→U, T→U = TZVWWU (checking: option shows A as TZVMWU - requires verification of exact rule).

MONEY reversed: YENOM. Each shifts back -1: Y→X, E→D, N→M, O→N, M→L = XDMNL (re-verify: Y→X(no, shift back), E→D, N→M, C→L gives LDMCW).

Positions: T=20, R=18, I=9, A=1, N=14, G=7, L=12, E=5. Sum = 20+18+9+1+14+7+12+5 = 86 (verify: may be different rule).
