At a conference, 12 members shook hands with each other before & after the meeting. How many total number of hand shakes occurred?
The first person shook hands with 11 remaining people, the second person also shook hands with 11 people, but we count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been counted. Then add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one & proceeding in this fashion we get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66. Hence 66 hand shakes took place before & 66 after the meeting, for a total of 132.

In alphabet series, some alphabets are missing which are given in that order as one of the alternatives below it. Choose the correct alternative.
G4T, J10R, M20P, P43N, S90L
The first letter of each term is moved three steps forward and the last letter is moved two steps backward to obatin the corresponding letters of the next term.
The numbers follow the sequence x 2 + 1, x 2 + 2, x 2 + 3, x 2 + 4.
So, 10 is wrong and must be replaced by (4 x 2 + 1) i.e. 9.
In alphabet series, some alphabets are missing which are given in that order as one of the alternatives below it. Choose the correct alternative.
adb _ ac _ da _ cddcb _ dbc _ cbda
The series is adbc acbd abcd dcba dbca cbda.
Thus, the letters equidistant from the beginning and the end of series are the same
In following questions, three sequence of alphabets/numerals are provided which correspond to each other in some way. Find out alphabets/numerals that come in the blank places.Choose the correct option
Clearly, b corresponds to A.
1 corresponds to C and a corresponds to 1.
So, a corresponds to C.
2 corresponds to B and d corresponds to 2.
So, d corresponds to B.
So, the remaining lettter i.e., c corresponds to D.
Thus, BDCC corresponds to d, c, a, a.
