Answer Key
Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Answer 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4

Solutions of DPP-01
1. Option (1)
First series : 3, 5, 7, 9
Second series : 5, 19, 41, ?
Difference of Second series are 14, 22, 30 etc.
Next term is 41 + 30 i.e. equal to 71.
2. Option (2)
Pattern is: × 2 – 1, × 2 – 2, × 2 – 3,…. So, 53 × 2 – 4 = 102.
3. Option (2)
First difference is 6 and second is 12. But if we take third as 18, then fourth difference will be 24. Then 93
cannot be the last term.
So, we have to take the difference as 6, 12, 24 and 48. So, answer is 21 + 24 = 45.

4. Option (3)
Clearly, the series follows a pattern of subtraction of consecutive prime numbers.
So, answer is 75 – 13 = 62.
5. Option (3)
Digits sum is the difference between the numbers. So, answer is 129 + (1 + 2 + 9) = 141.
6. Option (3)
The pattern is - 66, - 55, - 44, - 33, - 22,. So, answer is 105 – 11 = 94.
7. Option (4)
The given series consists of squares of consecutive prime numbers
i.e. 22, 32, 52,.....,132, 172, 192.
2
So, missing term = 7 = 49.
8. Option (4)
The pattern is +1, ×3, +1, ×3, +1, ×3, +1,.....
So, missing term = 67 × 3 = 201.
9. Option (4)
The pattern is ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4,.....
So, missing term = 24 × 5 = 120.
10. Option (4)
The pattern is × 1 + 1, × 2 + 2, × 3 + 3, × 4 + 4,.....
So, missing term = 112 × 5 + 5 = 565.

Answer Key
Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Answer 3 4 2 1 2 4 1 3 3 4

Solutions of DPP-02
1. Option (3)
Difference between the letters is: +1, +2, +3, +4. So, missing letter is N + 4 = R.
2. Option (4)
The number of letters in the terms of the given series increases by one at each step.
The first letter of each term is two steps ahead of the last letter of the preceding term.
However, each term consists of consecutive letters in order.
3. Option (2)
First letter of each group differs by 2 letters. Second letter of each group differs by 2 letters. Third letter of
each group differs by 2 letters. All the letters differ in the forward direction. Hence, the next choice would be
PMR.
4. Option (1)
First and third letters are moved three steps forward in each term & second letter is moved two steps forward
in each term. So, the missing term would be ORY.
5. Option (2)
The first letter of each term is moved four steps forward, the second letter is moved two step backward and
the third letter is moved third steps forward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term.
6. Option (4)
Here 2 series given :
(i) A, B, C, D, E, ? (Pattern is: +1, +1, +1,…). So, next term is E + 1 = F
(ii) B, D, F, H, ? (Pattern is: +2, +2, +2,…). So, next term is H + 2 = J.
So, answer is J, F.
7. Option (1)
Clearly, first and last term is remove to get the next term. So, answer is TRI.
8. Option (3)
Clearly, first letter of each term move back to get the next term. So, answer is EGUID.
9. Option (3)
The first and second letter of each term are moved three steps forward and the third and fourth letter are
moved four steps backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term. So the missing term would
be JJNM.
10. Option (4)
The first and second letter of each term are moved two steps backward and the third letter is moved five
steps forward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term. So the missing term would be VKK.

Answer Key
Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Answer 1 3 2 3 4 2 3 3 1 4

Solutions of DPP-03
1. Option (1)
Letters: W, ?, S, Q, O. Pattern is –2, –2, –2,…. So, missing letter is W – 2 = U.
Numbers: 144, ?, 100, 81, 64. Pattern is 122, 112, 102, 82,…. So, missing number is 121.
2. Option (3)
1st term: N, K, ?, E, B. Pattern is –3, –3, –3,… So, missing letter is H.
2nd term: 5, 7, ?, 14, 19. Pattern is +2, +3, +4, +5. So, missing number is 7 + 3 = 10.
3rd term: V, T, ?, P, N. Pattern is –2, –2, –2,…. So, missing letter is T – 2 = R.
3. Option (2)
1st term: A, C, E, G, I. Pattern is +2, +2, +2,… Clearly, all term follow this pattern.
2nd term: Z, X, V, U, R. Pattern is –2, –2, –2,… Clearly, U not follow this pattern.
3rd term: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. Pattern is +6, +6, +6,…. Clearly, all term follow this pattern.
So, wrong term is GU24.
4. Option (3)
Each term in the series is obtained by adding 22 to the preceding term.
So, 186 is wrong and must be replaced by (165 + 22) i.e. 187.
5. Option (4)

The correct pattern is + 5, + 8, + 11, + 14,.....

So, 47 is wrong and must be replaced by (32 + 14) i.e. 46.
6. Option (2)
The first letter of each term is moved two steps forward, the second letter is moved one step forward and the
third letter is moved two steps backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the next term. Third term is
not following the same rule. The wrong term is CNW. So, the answer would be DNW.
7. Option (3)
In every term, first second and third letter is in alphabetical order to its next term respectively. Fourth term is
not following the same rule. The wrong term is HTY. So, the answer would be HSY.
8. Option (3)
The series is b a a b / b a a b / b a a b / b a a b. Thus, the pattern ‘baab’ is repeated.
9. Option (1)
The series is g f e i i / g f e i i / g f e i i / g f e i i. Thus, the pattern ‘gfeii’ is repeated.
10. Option (4)
The series is a b c / a a b c / a a b b c / a a b b c c.
