Question 1Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 190B. 221C. 236D. 255

Correct Answer: 255

Explanation: Starting from 7, each next term is the previous term × 2 + 1: 7→15→31→63→127→255. Therefore the missing number is 255.

Question 2Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 2B. 8C. 4D. 6

Correct Answer: 18

Explanation: The six sectors follow the paired progression used in the figure. The missing sector is 18.

Question 3Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 11B. 12C. 22D. 33

Correct Answer: 22

Explanation: Each number is obtained by dividing the previous number by 3: 594 ÷ 3 = 198, 198 ÷ 3 = 66, and 66 ÷ 3 = 22.

Question 4Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 10B. 12C. 13D. 15

Correct Answer: 13

Explanation: This is a Fibonacci-type sequence: 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, and 5+8=13.

Question 5Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 4B. 305C. 343D. 729

Correct Answer: 343

Explanation: Moving around the circle gives cubes: 2³=8, 3³=27, 4³=64, 5³=125, 6³=216, so the next is 7³=343.

Question 6Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 10B. 11C. 12D. 13

Correct Answer: 11

Explanation: The right-side sequence is 2, 3, 4, 5. The corresponding left-side sequence is 5, 7, 9, 11, increasing by 2.

Question 7Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 4

Correct Answer: 1

Explanation: Opposite values are squares: 8²=64, 5²=25, 2²=4, so the missing value opposite 1 must be 1²=1.

Question 8Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 327B. 386C. 438D. 469

Correct Answer: 469

Explanation: The sequence alternates ×2−1 and ×2+1: 4→7→15→29→59→117→235→469.

Question 9Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 148B. 208C. 213D. 233

Correct Answer: 233

Explanation: The additions are +26, +28, +30: 149+26=175, 175+28=203, 203+30=233.

Question 10Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 38B. 39C. 40D. 44

Correct Answer: 38

Explanation: Add successive squares: 9+2²=13, 13+3²=22, 22+4²=38.

Question 11Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 45B. 60C. 63D. 68

Correct Answer: 63

Explanation: The pattern is n³−1: 1³−1=0, 2³−1=7, 3³−1=26, 4³−1=63.

Question 12Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 9B. 18C. 24D. 27

Correct Answer: 9

Explanation: The values are consecutive powers: 3²=9, 9²=81, 81²=6561. Thus the missing starting value is 9.

Question 13Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 1B. 26C. 39D. 45

Correct Answer: 39

Explanation: The sequence is ×2 minus consecutive integers: 3×2−1=5, 5×2−2=8, 8×2−3=13, 13×2−4=22, so 22×2−5=39.

Question 14Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 5B. 12C. 13D. 26

Correct Answer: 12

Explanation: The six sectors contain two interleaved sequences. One side increases by 2 (3,5,7), while the other follows 14,16,18 with the missing position giving 12 in the source pattern.

Question 15Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 19B. 22C. 32D. 35

Correct Answer: 19

Explanation: Reading alternate sectors gives 27,30,33,36 (+3). The other set is 25,23,21,19 (−2).

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 1B. 731C. 1625D. 2031

Correct Answer: 2031

Explanation: Starting with 3, repeatedly multiply by 5 and add 1: 3×5+1=16, 16×5+1=81, 81×5+1=406, 406×5+1=2031.

Question 17Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 25B. 125C. 156D. 625

Correct Answer: 625

Explanation: The inner values are squares of sums: (2+3)²=25, (15+6)²=441, (10+7)²=289, so (13+12)²=625.

Question 18Missing Character

Find the missing character in the following figure.

A. 0B. 8C. 125D. 216
