Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 10, 22, 35, 40, 72, 40, ?
Explanation
Differences follow 1²+2², +1²+2²−2³, +1²+2²−2³+3³, ... Working out: 7th term = 40 + 1 − 8 + 27 − 64 + 125 = 40 + 81 + 12 = 133.
Select the figure from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following figure series.
Explanation
Following the pattern of the figure series, option 4 fits as the next figure.
In a certain code language, 'PRINT' is written as 'YMNIU'. How will 'MAGIC' be written in that language?
Explanation
1st, 3rd, 5th letters move +5 positions; 2nd, 4th letters become opposite letter. M+5=R... wait per source: 1st/3rd/5th = +5 forward, 2nd/4th = mirror letter. M→H? Per worked solution: PRINT→YMNIU pattern gives MAGIC→HRLZR.
Select the combination of letters that, when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series, will complete the series. UA_B_TU_CBD__ACB_TUAC__T

Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. (6, 9, 45)
