Question 3

ȵकसी ȵवȷशȐ कूटभाषा मƺ 'MONTHLY' को 'DGMOSJR’ के Ƣप मƺ ȷलखा जाता है। तो उसी भाषा मƺ
‘HEADING’ को कैसे ȷलखा जाएगा?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves adding +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7 to the alphabetical position of each letter in 'MONTHLY' to get 'DGMOSJR'. Applying the same pattern to 'HEADING' (H+1, E+2, A+3, D+4, I+5, N+6, G+7) results in 'LINYFZM'.

Question 4

वह ȵवकÒप चुनƺ जो चौथी सं¸या से उसी Ēकार संबंȶधत है, ȹजस Ēकार Ƥसरी सं¸या से पहली सं¸या संबंȶधत है।
21 : 693 :: ? : 792

Accepted Answer

The relationship between the first and second number is 21 * (21 + 12) = 21 * 33 = 693. Applying the same logic, we need a number 'x' such that x * (x + 12) = 792. By checking the options, 24 * (24 + 12) = 24 * 36 = 864, which is incorrect. Let's re-evaluate the pattern. It is 21 * 33 = 693. So the multiplier is 33. For the second pair, 792 / x = multiplier. Let's try 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24. The relationship is 21 * (21 + 12) = 693, and 24 * (24 + 12) = 24 * 36 = 864. This is not the correct pattern. The pattern is 21 * (21 + 12) = 693. So, the multiplier is 33. For the second pair, 792 / x = multiplier. Let's try 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24. The relationship is 21 * 33 = 693. For the second pair, we need to find 'x' such that x * (some number) = 792. Let's assume the multiplier is constant. 792 / 33 = 24. So the missing number is 24.

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the
right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
