Solutions

Solutions (1-5):
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series: W U 5 F 6 J K 9 A 3 C E 7 8 Q O 1 2 Z 4 P D A
Hence, there are two vowels (O, A) are to the right of 8.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given series: W U 5 F 6 J K 9 A 3 C E 7 8 Q O 1 2 Z 4 P D A
Highest number = 9, Lowest number = 1
So, required difference = 9 – 1 = 8

S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series – W U 5 F 6 J K 9 A 3 C E 7 8 Q O 1 2 Z 4 P D A
7th element from the left end = K. So, 10th to the right of K = 1
Hence, 1 is the correct answer.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series – W U 5 F 6 J K 9 A 3 C E 7 8 Q O 1 2 Z 4 P D A
5th number from the right end = 7, 4th number from the left end = 3
So, required sum = 7 + 3 = 10
