32 × 5 + 5 = 50
42 × 5 + 5 = 85
52 × 5 + 5 = 130
62 × 5 + 5 = 185

But 245 does not follow this pattern (i.e. 72 × 5 = 245).
Hence, 245 is the answer.

Since all other options are cutting processes except BRAZING which is a joining process,
Hence, BRAZING is the answer.

9. Find the odd one out from the given data.

ADG, HKN, JMP, RUX, PRT

a) HKN
b) JMP
c) PRT
d) RUX
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Here, the group of letters follow a pattern of (n + 3), where n is the position of alphabet.
i.e.

A + 3 = D, D + 3 = G ⇒ ADG
H + 3 = K, K + 3 = N ⇒ HKN
J + 3 = M, M + 3 = P ⇒ JMP
R + 3 = U, U + 3 = X ⇒ RUX

But PRT does not follow this pattern (i.e. P + 2 = R, R + 1 = T ⇒ PRT).
Hence, PRT is the answer.

10. Find the odd one out from the given data.

26, 39, 65, 84, 91

i.e.

26 ÷ 13 = 2
39 ÷ 13 = 3
65 ÷ 13 = 5
91 ÷ 13 = 7

But 84 in the given data is not divisible by 13 (i.e. not a multiple of 13).
Hence, 84 is the answer.
