Solution

(D) To find the numbers that are immediately preceded by a letter and not immediately followed by a symbol,we look for the pattern: $\text{Letter} \rightarrow \text{Number} \rightarrow \text{Not a Symbol}$.
Let's analyze the sequence:
$1$. $T, 4, A$: $T$ is a letter,$4$ is a number,$A$ is a letter (not a symbol). This satisfies the condition.
$2$. $F, 1, U$: $F$ is a letter,$1$ is a number,$U$ is a letter (not a symbol). This satisfies the condition.
$3$. $P, 6, Q$: $P$ is a letter,$6$ is a number,$Q$ is a letter (not a symbol). This satisfies the condition.
There are $3$ such numbers: $4, 1, 6$.

MediumMCQ
In the arrangement $P, 2, 6, M, 9, K, S, 4, V, 7$,the positions of the $1^{st}$ and the $6^{th}$ elements are interchanged,those of the $2^{nd}$ and the $7^{th}$ are interchanged,and so on. Then,which of the following will be the $4^{th}$ element from the left end in the new arrangement?
A
$M$
B
$7$
C
$4$
D
None of these

Solution

(D) The original arrangement is: $P, 2, 6, M, 9, K, S, 4, V, 7$ (Total $10$ elements).
The rule for interchange is: $1^{st} leftrightarrow 6^{th}$,$2^{nd} leftrightarrow 7^{th}$,$3^{rd} leftrightarrow 8^{th}$,$4^{th} leftrightarrow 9^{th}$,$5^{th} leftrightarrow 10^{th}$.
Applying these interchanges:
$1^{st}$ $(P)$ and $6^{th}$ $(K)$ swap $ ightarrow K, 2, 6, M, 9, P, S, 4, V, 7$
$2^{nd}$ $(2)$ and $7^{th}$ $(S)$ swap $ ightarrow K, S, 6, M, 9, P, 2, 4, V, 7$
$3^{rd}$ $(6)$ and $8^{th}$ $(4)$ swap $ ightarrow K, S, 4, M, 9, P, 2, 6, V, 7$
$4^{th}$ $(M)$ and $9^{th}$ $(V)$ swap $ ightarrow K, S, 4, V, 9, P, 2, 6, M, 7$
$5^{th}$ $(9)$ and $10^{th}$ $(7)$ swap $ ightarrow K, S, 4, V, 7, P, 2, 6, M, 9$
The new arrangement is: $K, S, 4, V, 7, P, 2, 6, M, 9$.
The $4^{th}$ element from the left end is $V$.

The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below:
$972, 526, 487, 359, 251$
If the positions of the first and second digits are interchanged,which of the following will be third if they are arranged in ascending order?
A
$359$
B
$972$
C
$526$
D
$487$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Interchange the first and second digits of each number:
$972 \rightarrow 792$
$526 \rightarrow 256$
$487 \rightarrow 847$
$359 \rightarrow 539$
$251 \rightarrow 521$
Step $2$: Arrange these new numbers in ascending order:
$256, 521, 539, 792, 847$
Step $3$: Identify the third number in the sequence:
The sequence is $256, 521, 539, 792, 847$.
The third number is $539$,which corresponds to the original number $359$.

The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below:
$972, 526, 487, 359, 251$
If $2$ is added to the sum of the digits of each of the above numbers,how many will be multiples of $5$?
A
None
B
One
C
Two
D
Three

Solution

(D) First,calculate the sum of the digits for each number and add $2$ to each sum:
$1. 9+7+2 = 18; 18 + 2 = 20$ (Multiple of $5$)
$2. 5+2+6 = 13; 13 + 2 = 15$ (Multiple of $5$)
$3. 4+8+7 = 19; 19 + 2 = 21$ (Not a multiple of $5$)
$4. 3+5+9 = 17; 17 + 2 = 19$ (Not a multiple of $5$)
$5. 2+5+1 = 8; 8 + 2 = 10$ (Multiple of $5$)
Counting the results that are multiples of $5$,we have $20, 15,$ and $10$. Therefore,there are $3$ such numbers.

The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below:
$972, 526, 487, 359, 251$
If $1$ is subtracted from the last digit of each of the above numbers,the sum of the digits of how many of them are prime numbers?
A
None
B
Two
C
One
D
Three

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Subtract $1$ from the last digit of each number.
$972 \rightarrow 97(2-1) = 971$
$526 \rightarrow 52(6-1) = 525$
$487 \rightarrow 48(7-1) = 486$
$359 \rightarrow 35(9-1) = 358$
$251 \rightarrow 25(1-1) = 250$
Step $2$: Calculate the sum of the digits for each resulting number.
Sum of digits of $971 = 9 + 7 + 1 = 17$
Sum of digits of $525 = 5 + 2 + 5 = 12$
Sum of digits of $486 = 4 + 8 + 6 = 18$
Sum of digits of $358 = 3 + 5 + 8 = 16$
Sum of digits of $250 = 2 + 5 + 0 = 7$
Step $3$: Identify which sums are prime numbers.
The sums are $17, 12, 18, 16, 7$.
Among these,$17$ and $7$ are prime numbers.
Therefore,there are $2$ such numbers.

MediumMCQ
The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below:
$972, 526, 487, 359, 251$
If the digits in each of the above numbers are written in reverse order,which will be the second highest number?
A
$251$
B
$359$
C
$487$
D
$526$

Solution

(C) First,reverse the digits of each number:
$972 \rightarrow 279$
$526 \rightarrow 625$
$487 \rightarrow 784$
$359 \rightarrow 953$
$251 \rightarrow 152$
Now,arrange these new numbers in descending order:
$953 > 784 > 625 > 279 > 152$
The highest number is $953$ (derived from $359$) and the second highest number is $784$ (derived from $487$).
Therefore,the correct option is $487$.
421
MediumMCQ
The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below:
$972, 526, 487, 359, 251$
If the positions of the digits of each of the numbers are interchanged such that the first digit becomes the second,the second digit becomes the third,and the third digit becomes the first,which of the following will be the highest?
A
$972$
B
$526$
C
$487$
D
$359$

Solution

(D) The rule for interchanging digits is: the first digit moves to the second position,the second to the third,and the third to the first. This is a cyclic shift (e.g.,$abc \rightarrow cab$).
Applying this to each number:
$972 \rightarrow 297$
$526 \rightarrow 652$
$487 \rightarrow 748$
$359 \rightarrow 935$
$251 \rightarrow 125$
Comparing the new numbers: $297, 652, 748, 935, 125$.
The highest number is $935$,which corresponds to the original number $359$.

These questions are based on the following arrangement. Study it carefully and answer the questions.
$8, H, \%, 3, 7, T, A, 4, \#, 6, B, I, @, R, 1, Q, \star, L, E, 2, K, \$,U,5,9$
Which element is sixth to the right of fifteenth from the right end?
A
$Q$
B
$\star$
C
$L$
D
$1$

Solution

(B) To find the element that is $6th$ to the right of the $15th$ element from the right end,we subtract the positions because both are from the same direction (right).
Position $= 15 - 6 = 9th$ element from the right end.
Counting from the right end ($9, 5, U, \$,K,2,E,L,\star$):
The $9th$ element is $\star$.

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way on the basis of their positions in the above arrangement and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to the group?
A
$1\#$
B
$EQ$
C
$2\star$
D
$U2$

Solution

(A) Let us analyze the pattern of the given options based on their positions in the sequence:
$1) 1\#$: $1$ is at the $15^{th}$ position,and $\#$ is at the $9^{th}$ position. The gap is $-6$ positions.
$2) EQ$: $E$ is at the $19^{th}$ position,and $Q$ is at the $16^{th}$ position. The gap is $-3$ positions.
$3) 2\star$: $2$ is at the $20^{th}$ position,and $\star$ is at the $17^{th}$ position. The gap is $-3$ positions.
$4) U2$: $U$ is at the $23^{rd}$ position,and $2$ is at the $20^{th}$ position. The gap is $-3$ positions.
In options $B, C,$ and $D$,the second element is $3$ positions to the left of the first element. However,in option $A$ $(1\#)$,the second element is $6$ positions to the left of the first element. Therefore,$1\#$ does not belong to the group.
