100+ SSC Inserting the Missing Character Questions - 1
Question: 1
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) 25
(B) 48
(C) 59
(D) 73
Ans: D
Clearly, (1st row)3 + (2nd row)3 + (3rd row)3 = 4th row.
So, in the first column, 23 + 13 + 33 = 8 + 1 + 27 = 36.
In the third column, 03 + 43 + 33 = 0 + 64 + 27 = 91.
In the second column, missing number = 43 + 23 + 13 = 64 + 8 + 1 = 73.
Question: 2
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) 12
(B) 16
(C) 20
(D) 26
Ans: A
In the first column, 2 x 1 + 1 = 3.
In the second column, 14 x 7 + 7 = 105.
Let the missing number in the third column be x.
Then, x + 9 + 9 = 117 or 9x = 108 or x = 12.
Question: 3
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) 8
(B) 9
(C) 10
(D) 11
Ans: C
We have : 3 + 4 = number below 4 = 7;
3 + 4 + 5 = number below 5 = 12;
3 + 7 + 12 = number below 12 = 22.
Missing number = 3 + 7 = 10.
Question: 4
Find the missing character in each of the following questions.
(A) 10
(B) 11
(C) 12
(D) 13
Ans: B
The numbers in the right half form the series : 2, 3, 4, 5.
The numbers in the left half form the series : 5, 7, 9, 11.
Question: 5
Find the missing character in each of the following questions.
(A) 13
(B) 14
(C) 20
(D) 21
Ans: B
The given figure contains numbers 1 to 6 in three alternate segments, the smaller number being towards the outside and the numbers 14 to 19 in the remaining three alternate segments with the smaller number towards the inside.
Question: 1
Find the missing character in each of the following questions.
(A) 1
(B) 25
(C) 125
(D) 216
Ans: D
Clearly, (5 – 4)3 = 1; (7 - 3)3 = 64; (11 - 8)3 = 27.
So, missing number = (8 - 2)3 = 63 = 216.
Question: 2
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) 40
(B) 48
(C) 56
(D) 64
Ans: B
The sequence in first column is ×5. Thus, 1 x 5 = 5, 5 x 5 = 25, 25 x 5 = 125.
The sequence in third column is ×2. Thus, 7 x 2 = 14, 14 x 2 = 28, 28 x 2 = 56.
The sequence in second column is ×4.
Missing number = 12 x 4 = 48.
Question: 3
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) 15
(B) 16
(C) 17
(D) 18
Question: 4
Find the missing character in each of the following questions.
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
Ans: A
The two ends of each line segment contain a number and its square.
So, missing number = 12 = 1.
Question: 5
In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.
(A) P
(B) R
(C) S
(D) V
Ans: B
Putting A = 1, B = 2, Z = 26, we get the given matrix as
Clearly, 1st column + 2nd column = 3rd column.
Now, 5 + 13 = 18.
So, the missing letter is the 18th letter of the alphabet, which is R.
