Correct answer: PTRUT- A. OQMS
- B. UAWY
- C. NPLR
- D. BDZF
- E. FHDJ
Explanation: Most groups have alphabet-position changes of +2, -4, +6: OQMS gives 15, 17, 13, 19, and NPLR gives 14, 16, 12, 18.
Correct answer: UAWY- A. KMNL
- B. PRSQ

- E. TSV
Explanation: The first letter is followed by the previous letter and then the letter three positions after the first: GFI gives 7, 6, 9, and LKN gives…
Correct answer: QOR- A. PMS
- B. ROU
- C. GDJ
- D. KIM
- E. EBH
Explanation: In PMS, ROU, GDJ and EBH, the second letter is three positions before the first and the third is six positions after it.
Correct answer: KIM- A. A
- B. R
- C. E
- D. I
- E. O
Explanation: A, E, I and O are vowels, whereas R is a consonant. Therefore R is the only letter that does not belong.
Correct answer: R- A. 104
- B. 110
- C. 108
- D. 112
- E. 116Preparing For College Admissions Tests
Explanation: The numbers 104, 108, 112 and 116 are all divisible by 4: 104 ÷ 4 = 26, 108 ÷ 4 = 27, 112 ÷ 4 = 28 and 116 ÷ 4 = 29.

Correct answer: 416- A. 525
- B. 39
- C. 24
- D. 426
- E. 636
Explanation: Each valid number places a digit beside its square: 5² = 25 gives 525, 3² = 9 gives 39, 2² = 4 gives 24, and 6² = 36 gives 636.
Correct answer: 426- A. 358
- B. 246
- C. 134
- D. 862
Explanation: In 358, 3 + 5 = 8; in 246, 2 + 4 = 6; and in 134, 1 + 3 = 4. In 862, 8 + 6 = 14, not 2, so it breaks the digit-sum pattern.
Correct answer: 862- A. 508
- B. 328
- C. 608
- D. 148
Explanation: The digit sums are 5 + 0 + 8 = 13, 3 + 2 + 8 = 13, 6 + 0 + 8 = 14, and 1 + 4 + 8 = 13.
Correct answer: 608- A. 30
- B. 630
- C. 10
- D. 520
Explanation: 630 is the only option divisible by 9 because its digit sum is 6 + 3 + 0 = 9, whereas the digit sums of 30, 10, and 520 are 3, 1, and 7.
Correct answer: 630- A. 20
- B. 42
- C. 58
- D. 72
Explanation: Three numbers are products of consecutive even numbers: 20 = 4 x 5, 42 = 6 x 7, and 72 = 8 x 9.
Correct answer: 58- A. 4422
- B. 2442
- C. 4242
- D. 2244
Explanation: 4422, 2442, and 2244 each contain a pair of identical adjacent digits, namely 44 or 22.
Correct answer: 4242- A. 30
- B. 27
- C. 36
- D. 45
Explanation: 27, 36, and 45 are all multiples of 9: 27 = 9 x 3, 36 = 9 x 4, and 45 = 9 x 5.
Correct answer: 30- A. 35
- B. 48
- C. 75
- D. 84
Explanation: 48, 75, and 84 are divisible by 3 because their digit sums are 12, 12, and 12 respectively.
Correct answer: 35- A. 343
- B. 121
- C. 1331
- D. 2197Downloading Digital Educational Resources
Explanation: 343 = 7 x 7 x 7, 1331 = 11 x 11 x 11, and 2197 = 13 x 13 x 13, so these are perfect cubes.
Correct answer: 121- A. 41
- B. 43
- C. 53
- D. 57
Explanation: 41, 43, and 53 are prime numbers because each has no divisor other than 1 and itself. 57 is composite because 57 = 3 x 19.
Correct answer: 57
