Question : Directions: Which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?
_ cb _ ca _ bacb _ ca _ bac_ d
Option 1: badddb
Option 2: bbbddd
Option 3: addddb
Option 4: addbbb
Correct Answer: addddb
Solution : Given:
_ cb _ ca _ bacb _ ca _ bac_ d
To fill the series we have to divide the series→_ cb _ / ca _ b / acb _ / ca _ b / ac_ d
Let's check each option –
First option: badddb; bcba / cadb / acbd / cadb / acbd (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Second option: bbbddd; bcbb / cabb / acbd / cadb / acdd (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Third option: addddb; acbd / cadb / acbd / cadb / acbd (acbd and cadb are repeated alternatively.)
Fourth option: addbbb; acbd / cadb / acbb / cabb / acbd (No repeated pattern has been found.)
So, the series becomes→acbdcadbacbdcadbacbd. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which one set of letters/numbers when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?
a _ ca _ c _ dc _ d _ ad _
Option 1: ddacdc
Option 2: daadca
Option 3: dadaac
Option 4: ddaacc
Correct Answer: ddaacc
Solution : Given:
a _ ca _ c _ dc _ d _ ad _
To fill the series we have to divide the series – a _ c / a _ c / _ dc / _ d _ / ad _
Let's check each option –
First option: ddacdc; adc / adc / adc / cdd / adc (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Second option: daadca; adc / aac / adc / ddc / ada (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Third option: dadaac; adc / aac / ddc / ada / adc (No repeated pattern has been found.)
Fourth option: ddaacc; adc / adc / adc / adc / adc (adc is repeated in the series.)
So, the series becomes→adcadcadcadcadc. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Direction: Which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?
a _ ca _ ca _ caa _
Option 1: caca
Option 2: cacc
Option 3: caac
Option 4: ccca
Correct Answer: cacc
Solution : Given:–
a _ ca _ ca _ caa _
Let's check the given options –
First option: caca
The series becomes accaacaccaaa
There is no pattern in the above series.
Second option: cacc
The series becomes accaacaccaac
The pattern in the series becomes accaac / accaac
Third option: caac
The series becomes accaacaacaac
There is no pattern in the above series.
Fourth option: ccca
The series becomes accaccaccaaa
There is no pattern in the above series.
Hence, second option is correct.
Question : Direction: In each of the following question, which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?
a _ b _ ca _ b _ c _ a _ cc
Option 1: a c b c a b
Option 2: a b a b c a
Option 3: a c a c a b
Option 4: a b a b a c
Correct Answer: a c a c a b
Solution : Given -
a _ b _ ca _ b _ c _ a _ cc
Let's check the options.
option first: a c b c a b
The series becomes aabccabbccaabcc
There is no pattern in the above series.
option second: a b a b c a
The series becomes aabbcaabbccaacc
There is no pattern in the above series.
option third: a c a c a b
The series becomes aabccaabccaabcc
The pattern in the series becomes aabcc/aabcc/aabcc.
option fourth: a b a b a c
The series becomes aabbcaabbcaaccc
There is no pattern in the above series.
Hence, third option is correct.
Question : Which of the following metal salts is responsible for permanent hardness in water?
Option 1: KCl
Option 2: Nacl
Option 3: Ca(HCO3)2
Option 4: CaCl2
Correct Answer: Ca(HCO3)2
Solution : The correct option is Ca(HCO3)2.
The presence of bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium causes water to become temporarily hard, but the presence of soluble chlorides and sulphates of calcium and magnesium causes permanent hardness. Calcium bicarbonate, also called calcium hydrogen carbonate, has the chemical formula Ca(HCO3)2.
Question : If a + b + c = 19, ab + bc + ca = 120, then what is the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc?
Option 1: 18
Option 2: 23
Option 3: 31
Option 4: 19
Correct Answer: 19
Solution : Given,
a + b + c = 19 and ab + bc + ca = 120
We know,
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c) [(a + b + c)2 – 3(ab + bc + ca)]
= 19[192 – 3 × 120]
= 19[361 – 360]
= 19 × 1
= 19
Hence, the correct answer is 19.
