1.         (d) Numbers in the series can be obtained by adding ‘1’ to the square of the natural numbers starting from 3 onwards such as

           

            3² + 1, 4² + 1, 5² + 1, 6² + 1, 7² + 1, etc.

2.         (c) Numbers in the series are in the order of

            (1² x 2), (2² x 2), (3² x 2), (4² x 2), etc.

3.         (b) It’s a series of all odd numbers in ascending order.

4.         (b) Numbers in this series are all odd numbers is ascending order with a difference of 2,

            4, 6, 8, …… etc.

5.         (a) Add ‘1’ and ‘0’ to the alternate number to a series of odd-numbers in ascending order viz., 1+1, 3+0, 5+1, 7+0, 9+1, 11+0, 13+1, etc. to get, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, etc.

6.         (c) Subtract ‘1’ from the alternate number of the series of even number viz., 2-1, 4-0, 6-1, 8-0, 10-1, 12-0, etc to form 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, …….

7.         (b) This is the cube of the series, 1, 2, 3, 4, …… to form 1, 8, 27, 64, ……. Etc.

8.         (c) Add ‘1’ to the cube of each number of the series, 1, 2, 3, 4, …… etc. to from the series,  1³ + 1, 2³ + 1, 3³ + 1,  4³ + 1, etc.

9.         (d) In fact, this is the combination of two series viz., 1², 3², 5², 7², ………. And 2, 4, 6, …. The numbers of the two series are placed alternatively.

10.        (b) The difference of the two consecutive numbers increases in the order of 6, 12, 24, etc. i.e., 13-7 = 6, 25-13=12, 49-25=24 etc.

11.        (c) Multiply each by 2, and then ‘1’ to get the next consecutive number like,

(16 x 2 +1) =33, this (33 x 2 + 1) = 67.

12.        (c) Each number of the series is to be multiplied by ‘2’ and then ‘1’ is added to get the above series.

13.        (b) The difference between the two consecutive numbers are in the order 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, … etc. to get the following number.

14.        (a) Multiply each number by ‘2’ and then deduct 1, 2, 3, 4, ….to get the next consecutive number. Like (5 x 2 –1) = 9, (9 x 2 –2) = 16, (16 x 2 – 3) = 29 etc.

15.        (b) Multiply each by ‘2’ and then subtract ‘1’ to get the next consecutive number, such as, (18 x 2 – 1) = 35, (35 x 2 – 1) = 69 etc.

16.        (c) The letters are numbered in reverse order viz., 1 to 26 respectively from Z to A.

17.        (a) Since the letters have been numbered 1 to 26 respectively from A to Z..

18.        (b) Here again the letters from Z to A have been numbered respectively from 1 to 26.

19.        (c) The letters from Z to A have been numbered from respectively from 1 to 26.

20.        (d) The letters here again have been number in reverse order i.e., 1 to 26 respectively from Z to A.

21.        (c) Add the numbers assigned to each letter A to Z respectively from 1 to 26.

22.        (c) The numbers assigned to each letter have been added. Numbers 1 to 26 have been assigned from A to Z.

23.        (c) Concept --- Same as in 21 and 22.

24.        (c) The position or the number of each letter assigned to them are added.

25.        (d) The numbers assigned to form 1 to 26 respectively A to Z, have been added.

26.        (c) Only HIGHLY has been calculated as 69, by adding the numbers of each letter from 1 to 26 starting from A to Z. In the next sentence NOT HIGHLY has been calculated in the same manner.

27.        (a) Only the word STATION is replaced by SCHOOL. Hence only these two have been calculated by adding the numbers assigned to each letter A to Z respectively from 1 to 26.

28.        (b) The first sentence is equal to Zero. The only new word in the second sentence is ‘NOT’ which is calculated to be ‘49’ as in Q.No. 27.

29.        (d) It’s work relationship for which he is identified.

30.        (b) As sleep relieves from weariness, food relieves from hunger.

31.        (d) It’s tool relationship where it is applied.

32.        (c) Symbolic relationship.

33.        (d) As car cannot move without petrol, the bulb cannot glow without electricity.

34.        (d) Means decides the end.

35.        (d) Again means to end relationship.

36.        (a) Functional relationship for mechanical devices in an effective way.

37.        (d) Effects caused by human efforts.

38.        (d) Events of degrees.
