Inserting the Missing Character Questions for Competitive Exams
Find the missing character from among the given alternatives.
Q.1.
(A) 860
(B) 1140
(C) 2880
(D) 3240
Ans . ┬а C
Clearly, moving clockwise, we observe the following pattern:
4 ├Ч 1 = 4; ┬а4 ├Ч 2 = 8; 8 ├Ч 3 = 24; 24 ├Ч 4 = 96; 96 ├Ч 5 = 480
So, required number = (480 ├Ч 6) = 2880.
Hence the answer is (C)
Q.2.
(A) M
(B) P
(C) Q
(D) S
Ans . ┬а B
Putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4,тАжтАжтАжтАжтАжтАжтАж..,X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26, we have :
F + P = 6 + 16 = 22; G + N = 7 + 14 = 21; J + E = 10 + 5 = 15.
Since K = 11, so value corresponding to missing letter = ( 27 тАУ 11 ) = 16.
So, the missing letter is the 16th letter of the English alphabet, which is P. Hence, the answer is (b).
Q.3.
(A) 22
(B) 30
(C) 32
(D) None of these
Ans . ┬а C
$$Clearly, \ we \ have\ : {5├Ч6├Ч4\over 10}= 12; \ {6├Ч7├Ч5\over21} = 21$$
┬а $$So, \ missing \ number = {4├Ч8├Ч10\over 10}=32$$
┬а $$Hence \ the \ answer \ is \ (C)$$
Q.4.
(A) 42
(B) 46
(C) 48
(D) 50
Ans . ┬а B
We have : (8┬а├Ч 6) тАУ (2 ├Ч 6) = 36, (7 ├Ч 8) тАУ (2 ├Ч 5) = 46.
Missing number = (7 ├Ч 10) тАУ (4 ├Ч 6) = 46.
Hence, the answer is (b).
Q.5.
(A) 12
(B) 25
(C) 48
(D) 52
Ans . ┬а B
We have : ( 56 +15) тАУ (22+8) = 41, (46+9) тАУ (10+6) = 39.
So, missing number = (34+11) тАУ (14+6) = 25.
Hence, the answer is (b).
Q.6.
(A) 7
(B) 25
(C) 49
(D) 129
Ans . ┬а B
We have : (16 тАУ 6)2 + (5 тАУ 2)2 = 102 +32 = 109; (22 тАУ 15)2+ (21 тАУ 19)2 = 72 + 22 = 53.
So, missing number = (17 тАУ 13)2 + (51 тАУ 48)2 = 42 + 32 =25.
Hence, the answer is (b)
Q.7.
(A) 49
(B) 50
(C) 51
(D) 52
Ans . ┬а C
In the first column, (4 ├Ч 7) тАУ 1 = 27.
In the second column, ( 5 ├Ч 8) тАУ 2 = 48.
So, missing number = ( 6 ├Ч 9) тАУ 3 = ( 54 тАУ 3) = 51.
Hence, the answer is (C)
Q.8.
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 4
(D) 5
Ans . ┬а B
In the first column, 12 ├Ч ( 18 ├╖ 3) = 72.
In the third column, 16 ├Ч ( 32 ├╖ 4) = 128
Let the missing number be x. Then, in the second column, we have :
14 ├Ч ( 24 ├╖ x) = 112┬атЯ║ 24 ├╖ x = 8 тЯ║ x = 3.
Hence, the answer is (b).
Q.9.┬а
(A) P
(B) R
(C) S
(D) V
Ans . ┬аB
Putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3,тАжтАжтАжтАжтАж.., M = 13тАжтАжтАжтАжтАжтАж., X = 24, Y = 25, Z = 26, we have :
In the first row, F + I = 6 + 9 = 15 = O.
In the second row, A + J = 1 + 10 = 11 = K.
So, in the third row, missing letter = E + M = 5 + 13 = 18 = R.
Hence, the answer is (b).
Q.10.┬а
(A) 8C
(B) 12B
(C) 16C
(D) 18C
Ans . ┬а A
In each row, out of the letters A, B and C, each of these must appear once. Also, in each column, the product of the first and third numbers is equal to the second number. So, the missing number will be (2├Ч4) i.e 8 and the missing number letter will be C. Thus the answer is 8C. Hence, the answer is (a).
