Chapter 9: Number Series, Coding and Decoding and Odd Man Out

 

Question 1.
In a certain code, RIPPLE is written as 613382 and LIFE is written as 8192. How is PILLER written in that code? [1 Mark, May 2018]
(a) 318826
(b) 318286
(c) 618826
(d) 338816
Solution:
(a)

Hence code of PILLER is 318826.

Question 2.
In a certain code ‘256’ mean ‘you are good’, ‘637’ means ‘we are bad’ and ‘358’ means ‘good and bad’. Which of the following represents ‘and’ in that code? [1 Mark, May 2018]
(a) 2

(a) 15
(b) 21
(c) 63
(d) 81
Solution:
(d) 15, 21, 63, 81, 69
In this series only 81 is a Perfect square.

Question 8.
Find odd man out of the following series 7, 9, 13, 17, 19 [1 Mark, Nov. 2018]
(a) 1
(b) 9
(c) 19
(d) 13
Solution:
(b) 7, 9, 13, 17, 19
Since only 9 is a perfect square. So, 9 is the odd man out.
Note :- If 11 is used at the place of 9, we get a perfect series.

Question 9.
7, 23, 47, 119, 167 [1 Mark, June 2019]
(a) 211
(b) 223
(c) 287
(d) 319
Solution:
(c)
7, 23, 47, 119, 167, 287
32 – 2 = 1
52 – 2 = 23
72 – 2 = 41
112 – 2 = 119
132 – 2 = 167
172 – 2 = 287

Question 10.

Which of the following is odd one 4, 12, 44, 176, 890? [1 Mark, June 2019]
(a) 4
(b) 12
(c) 44
(d) 176
Solution:

4, 12, 44, 176, 890,
4 × 2 + 4= 12
12 × 3 + 6 = 42
42 × 4 + 8 = 176
176 × 5 + 10 = 890
