12. Identify the number that does NOT belong to the following series. [S.S.C MTS 21/07/2022 (Morning)]

1.5, 2, 3, 6, 18, 108, 1964

Correct Answer: (d) 1964
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

The two consecutive terms are multiplied to get the next term.

1.5 × 2 = 3
2 × 3 = 6
3 × 6 = 18
6 × 18 = 108
18 × 108 = 1944 ≠ 1964

Hence,"1964" does not belongs to the series.

13. YZ, BCD, FGHI, ?, QRSTUV [S.S.C MTS 20/07/2022 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (c) KLMNO
Solution:The logic followed here is:

BCD → skip E → FGHI → skip J → KLMNO → skip P → QRSTUV

So, "KLMNO" will complete the series.

Hence, "KLMNO" is the correct answer.

16. A _ DKPAB _ KPABF _ PAB _ KP [S.S.C CHSL 07/06/2022 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) BEKG
Solution:Given: A_DKPAB_KABF_PAB_KP
Let's check each option:
1) BPAG → A B D K P - A B P K P - A B F A P - A B G K P
2) BEKG → A B D K P - A B E K P - A B F K P - A B G K P
• Here, we can observe a pattern.
• 3rd letter is increasing by +1, rest letters are same.
• D + 1 = E; E + 1 = F; F + 1 = G
3) BCGD → A B D K P - A B C K P - A B F G P - A B D K P
4) BDGE → A B D K P - A B D K P - A B F G P - A B E K P

Hence, "BEKG" is the correct answer.
