REASONING MISSING CHARACTER

  INSERTING THE MISSING CHARACTER

  In this type of question a figure , set of figures or matrix or anything is given ,each of which bears certain characters ,numbers, letter or combination is given and they have some logic or pattern . we have to find  these logic or pattern in the figures.

Question 1:Find the missing character from among the given alternatives ?.[ssc 2005]

           

           

a)     860  b)  1140   c)  2880   d)  3240

Solution :

                        Here we have to find value at blank position.  In this type of question we have to think start point so that logic or pattern can be make according the question.

So logic is

Starting point is 4 which is neighbor of  20160.now

4*1=1

4*2=8

8*3=24

24*4=96

96*5=480

480*6=2880

  Thus answer is c).

Question 2: Find the missing character from among the given alternatives ?.[pgdca 2005]

        

       

    a)10                     b) 15                   c)  20                       d) 25

Solution: here we have find the logic there is no shortcut ,have to practice to find logic can be apply to all.

             (13+19)/8=32/8=4

            (71+9)/10=80/10 =8

Therefore

            (128+32)/8=160/8=20

            Thus option c) is correct.

Question 3: which of the given options fits correctly in the blank space to exhibit the similar pattern in each of the three sets below ?.

      84                                                81                                 88

14         12                                     18      9                         ?         11

a)         8             b)  12            c)  16                d)  18

Solutions :   here the solution is

   84/12=7     

    Then 7*2=14 

Simarly     81/9=9

                  Then 9*2=18

 Now

         88/11=8*2=16

    Therefore c) is correct option.
