Use the following series of elements (alpha-number-symbol) to answer these questions. Every two-digit number (given in brackets) is to be treated as single number.
2 ★ 8 5 6 B 9 $ Q 3 E 1 7 R D 4 £ (13) U ⬤ K (18) A (14) P
Four of the following five groups of elements are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one the does not belong to that group ?
Explanation :
Other groups consist of consecutive elements.
If each of the letters in the above series of elements is given a value equivalent to its serial number in the English alphabet, what will be the difference between the sum of the consonants and the sum of the vowels used in the series ?
Explanation :
The letters used in the series are B Q E R D U K A P.
Sum of the positions of consonants according to
alphabet = 2 + 17 +18 + 4 + 11 + 16 = 68. Similarly, sum
of the vowels’ positions = 5 + 21 + 1 = 27. Hence required
difference = 68 – 27 = 41
If each alphabet has a value of zero, each symbol (i.e.,★ , $ and ⬤ ) has a value equivalent to the square of the numeral that immediately precedes the symbol or the value of 1 if it is not immediately preceded by a numeral, what will be the sum of the values of the first 10 elements of the series starting from the left end ?
Explanation :
2 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 0 + 9 + 92 + 0 + 3 = 118
Where value of alphabet = 0; symbol = square of the
previous number; number = the value itself.
Which of the following groups of elements will come in the place of the question-mark in the series of elements given below? 6 8 2 $ B 5 E Q 9 ? £ D 7
Explanation :
First element of each group follows the order + 3, + 3, +3... and so on.
Middle element and last element also follow the same trend. Hence (?) should be replaced by R 13.
BQ in the above series is related in ER in a similar way as AP is related to
Explanation :
Number of elements between B and Q is the same as that between E and R. Similarly, number of elements between A and P is the same as that between K and A.
