Character Puzzles
In this type of questions, a figure or a matrix is given in which some numbers are filled according to a rule. A place is left blank. You have to find out a character (a number or a letter) from the given possible answers which may be filled in the blank space.Some examples are given below. Example 1:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: 6 + 4 + 8 = 1818 + 2 = 20From fig. b: 7 + 9 + 8 = 2424 + 2 = 26From fig. c: 6 + 5 + 12 = 2323 + 2 = 25Hence the number 25 will replace the question mark.
Example 2:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: (3)2 + (2)2 = 13From fig. b: (4)2 + (8)2 = 80From fig. c: ? = (1)2 + (5)2? = 1 + 25? = 26Hence the number 26 will replace the question mark.
Example 3:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: 7 x 6 + 3 = 45From fig. b: 5 x 4 + 6 = 26From fig. c: 7 x 3 + 8 = 29Hence the number 29 will replace the question mark.
Example 4:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: 92 + 82 + 72 + 62 = 81 + 64 + 49 + 36 = 230From fig. b: 62 + 72 + 32 + 42 = 36 + 49 + 9 + 16 = 110From fig. c: 92 + 62 + 52 + 42 = 81 + 36 + 25 + 16 = 158Hence the number 158 will replace the question mark.
Example 5:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :(4 + 3)2 = (7)2 = 49(8 + 5)2 = (13)2 = 169(11 + 12)2 = (23)2 = 529(10 + 9)2 = (19)2 = 361Hence the number 361 will replace the question mark.
Example 6:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From column I: (9 x 5) % 5 = 9From column II: (17 x 4) % 4 = 17From column III: (16 x ?) % 8 = 816? = 64? = 4Hence the number 4 will replace the question mark.
Example 7:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: (8 x 5) - (4 x 3) = 28From fig. b: (12 x 7) - (8 x 9) = 12From fig. c: (5 x 3) - (6 x ?) = 2115 - 6? = 216? = -6? = -1Hence the number -1 will replace the question mark.
Example 8:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :In each row there are 'A', 'B' and 'C'In second row 'A' and 'C' are already thereHence in place of ?, there will be 'B'.From first row : 4A x 6C = 24BFrom third row : 9B x 4C = 36AFrom second row : 5A x ? = 45C? = (45C/5A)? = 9BHence the number 9B will replace the question mark.
Example 9:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :(5)2 = 25(6)2 = 36(4)2 = 16(7)2 = 49Hence the number 49 will replace the question mark.
Solution :From fig. a: 6 + 4 + 8 = 1818 + 2 = 20From fig. b: 7 + 9 + 8 = 2424 + 2 = 26From fig. c: 6 + 5 + 12 = 2323 + 2 = 25Hence the number 25 will replace the question mark.Example 2:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: (3)2 + (2)2 = 13From fig. b: (4)2 + (8)2 = 80From fig. c: ? = (1)2 + (5)2? = 1 + 25? = 26Hence the number 26 will replace the question mark.Example 3:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: 7 x 6 + 3 = 45From fig. b: 5 x 4 + 6 = 26From fig. c: 7 x 3 + 8 = 29Hence the number 29 will replace the question mark.Example 4:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: 92 + 82 + 72 + 62 = 81 + 64 + 49 + 36 = 230From fig. b: 62 + 72 + 32 + 42 = 36 + 49 + 9 + 16 = 110From fig. c: 92 + 62 + 52 + 42 = 81 + 36 + 25 + 16 = 158Hence the number 158 will replace the question mark.Example 5:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :(4 + 3)2 = (7)2 = 49(8 + 5)2 = (13)2 = 169(11 + 12)2 = (23)2 = 529(10 + 9)2 = (19)2 = 361Hence the number 361 will replace the question mark.Example 6:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From column I: (9 x 5) % 5 = 9From column II: (17 x 4) % 4 = 17From column III: (16 x ?) % 8 = 816? = 64? = 4Hence the number 4 will replace the question mark.Example 7:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :From fig. a: (8 x 5) - (4 x 3) = 28From fig. b: (12 x 7) - (8 x 9) = 12From fig. c: (5 x 3) - (6 x ?) = 2115 - 6? = 216? = -6? = -1Hence the number -1 will replace the question mark.Example 8:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :In each row there are 'A', 'B' and 'C'In second row 'A' and 'C' are already thereHence in place of ?, there will be 'B'.From first row : 4A x 6C = 24BFrom third row : 9B x 4C = 36AFrom second row : 5A x ? = 45C? = (45C/5A)? = 9BHence the number 9B will replace the question mark.Example 9:Which number will replace the question mark ?
Solution :(5)2 = 25(6)2 = 36(4)2 = 16(7)2 = 49Hence the number 49 will replace the question mark.  |
