- 1. In the following question, a matrix of certain characters is given.These characters follow a certain trend, row-wise or column wise.Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly. 72 24 6 96 16 12 108 ? 18
Options- A. 12
- B. 16
- C. 18
- D. 20 Discuss
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
In the first row, 72 ÷ (24/2) = 72 ÷ 12 = 6.
In the second row, 96 ÷ (16/2) = 96 ÷ 8 = 12.
Let the missing number in the third row be y.
Then, 108 ÷ (y/2) = 18 or y/2 = 108/18 = 6 or y = 12.
- 2. In the following question, a matrix of certain characters is given.These characters follow a certain trend, row-wise or column wise.Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly. B G N D J R G N ?
Options- A. U
- B. V
- C. W
- D. X Discuss
