It’s always been good to learn from history since history repeats itself, similarly, it goes with the exam pattern we always try to find previous year questions to mentally prepare ourselves for upcoming hurdles in the exam and to check whether the level of our preparation is or is not up to the mark. Previous year questions give guidance to us and provide a base for the preparation of any competitive exam. It is always good to have an experience of how the level of exam varies from year to year. For every subject like in Reasoning Ability, we come to know the pattern of questions must be followed to prepare the examination.
Direction (1-5): In every question two rows are given and to find out the resultant of a particular row you need to follow the following steps: -
Step 1: If an even number is followed by an odd (prime) number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 2: If an odd number is followed by a perfect square then the resultant will be the subtraction of the square number from the odd number.
Step 3: If an odd number is followed by another odd number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 4: If an even number is followed by an odd (non-prime) number then the resultant will be the subtraction of the odd number from the even number.
Step 5: If an odd number is followed by an even number then the resultant comes by multiplying the numbers.
