    Option C
   Solution:
   10 is P. So 3 letters between 10 and 22. P + 3 = T, but T is already written . We cannot repeat any letter. So P – 3 = L
   So against 22 is L
   Now 18 is N. 22 is L. So between them is only 1 letter in English alphabetical series i.e. M

Directions (7-9): The first step has been obtained by multiplying the digits in input. The next steps are not obtained the same way. They are obtained by applying a certain logic. Numbers of step II have been obtained by using at least 1 digit of each number in step I. Each step is a resultant of previous step. (3 questions)

Input:

7. Each of numbers in step II are halved, then find the sum of the numbers obtained.
   A) 17.5
   B) 18
   C) 24.5

   E) 20
   
   View Answer

    Option D
   Solution:
   From Input to 1st step:
   3*3 = 9, 4*2 = 8, so 9 | 8
   4*2 = 8, 1*7 = 7, so 8 | 7 and so the next number
   Numbers of step II have been obtained by using at least 1 digit of each number in step I.
   Step II:
   So from step I, add the first digits – (9+8+6) = 23
   Also from step I, add the first digits – (8+7+9) = 24
   Now for step III:
   3/2 = 1.5, 4/2 = 2
   Step IV:
   2 – 1.5 = 0.5
   So for given Input:
   Step I: 58………….88………….97
   Step II: ……22……..….23
   Step III: ……1……..….1.5
   Step IV: ……….0.5So required answer here = 22/2 + 23/2 = 11 + 11.5 = 22.5
   
8. Find the multiplication of the two numbers obtained in step III.
   A) 2.5
   B) 1.5
   C) 1
   D) 0.5
   E) 2
   
   View Answer

   B) 170
   C) 189
   D) 172
   E) 195
