There are at least 3 points, distance between
any 2 points is same. How many such points
(maximum) are possible if all the points are on
a plane (minimum is 3)?
• 3 ans.

 In the previous question, the
condition of plane is removed, now
how many points are possible?
• 4 ans.

 At the end of a tournament, every player
scored a prime number of goals and average of
11 players was also a prime number. No
player’s individual tally was the same as anyone
else’s or as the average. Nobody scored more
that 45 goals (its about football). Average?
• Prime numbers till 45 are:
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43
• We have to take any 11 values out of these, which
may give us a prime number as average. If we try
with middle values, we have 17 to 29 to try out.
• We get total of 187, 209, 253, 319 for values
from 17,19,23 and 29. 319 is not possible. We try
for 253 and other values. Total of
5,7,11,13,17,19,29,31,37,41,43is 253 and average
is 23, this is the answer.

 Find the odd one out:
naïve, sophisticated, ingenuous?
• Naïve and Ingenuous mean the same
- a person who is not articulative
• Sophisticated is antonym to these
words, so it is odd one out.

www.afterschoool.tk
 Find the odd one out:
Nadir, Zanith, Pinnacle, Acme?
• Nadir is the odd one out, it means
bottom but all other words mean top,
therefore they are antonyms to
Nadir.

What will come next in the
series: 1,4,8,11,15 __, 22.
• We are adding once 3 and once 4,
thus the missing value is 18.

www.afterschoool.tk
 What will come next in
the series: 25,16,9, 4..?
• The next item will be 1.
• All these are squares. 25 is square of
5, 16 is square of 4 and so on

www.afterschoool.tk
 What will come next:
1,7,26,63 .. ?
• After the first term, all the values
are one less than cubic values.
• 8-1 =7, 27-1 = 26 so on.
• Thus next value is 124 ans.

www.afterschoool.tk
 What will come next:
1,2,6,24 .. ?
• 120 answer.
• The numbers are multiplied in
sequence by 2,3,4,5
So next time we will multiply 24 by 5 to
get 120 ans.
