Latest Arrangement and Pattern MCQ Objective Questions
Arrangement and Pattern Question 1:
How many pairs of letters are there in the word ABRAHAM that have as many letters as there are in the word (both forward and backward) in English alphabetical order?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 1 Detailed Solution
The logic follows here is :-
The alphabets are positioned as in the following order :
Given word : ABRAHAM
The given can be represented as follows :
There is one pair in the forward direction : AB
There is no pair in the backward direction.
Total number of pairs in both forward and backward direction is 'one'.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
Arrangement and Pattern Question 2:
If the first four and last four letters of MENTORSHIP are reversed, which letter will be sixth from the right in the new word?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given word: 'MENTORSHIP'
First four letters: M E N T
Last four letters: S H I P
Middle letters (not reversed): O R
Reversing the first four letters: T N E M
Reversing the last four letters: P I H S
New word after reversal:
T | N | E | M | O | R | P | I | H | S |
6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Now, counting from the right:
The sixth letter from the right is O.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 3:
Refer to the following series of letters and symbols and answer the question.
(Left) M@R X Z $ I Q & D E A + C E # H O & T Y % E F S P G K(Right)
How many vowels are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a consonant and immediately followed by a vowel?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given series:
M@R X Z $ I Q & D E A + C E # H O & T Y % E F S P G K
Condition to be checked:
Vowels immediately preceded by a consonant and immediately followed by a vowel.
Consonant → Vowel → Vowel
Let's analyze the series for this pattern:
M@R X Z $ I Q & D E A + C E # H O & T Y % E F S P G K
- D E A + (Yes, 'E' is a vowel, preceded by consonant 'D' and followed by vowel 'A')
Thus, there is 1 vowel that is immediately preceded by a consonant and immediately followed by a vowel.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 4:
A set of letters are given in each column, you have to first arrange each alphabet according to alphabetical series from left to right in each row and then club the letters of each column and check in which column alphabets are alphabetically arranged?
I |
II |
III |
IV |
V |

V |
F |
L |
M |
P |
T |
D |
H |
O |
Q |
X |

W |
Hence, only column III and IV are alphabetically arranged.
Arrangement and Pattern Question 5:
In the given words, all the consonants are changed to its next letter and all the vowels are changed to its previous letter as per the alphabetical series then all the repeated letters and those come after P are eliminated separately. How many letters remain after this?
EXCURSION
MANIFEST
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 5 Detailed Solution
According to the given direction, EXCURSION changes to DYDTSTHNO and MANIFEST changes to NZOHGDTU.
Now eliminate the repeated letters and those letters which comes after P then the letters which are remained as H, N, O, G, D, H, N, O.
Hence, more than four letters remained.

CORPORATION
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe logic follows here is:
Given word:
CORPORATION
The given word can be represented as shown below:
In the forward direction → "PR", "RT" and "PT"
In the backward direction → "NO" and "OP".
Thus there are 5 pairs of a letter in the word 'CORPORATION' each of which has as many letters between them in word as they have between them in the English alphabetical series.
Hence, the correct answer is "5".
How many such pairs of letters (in both forward and backward direction) are there in the word 'STARTEW' which have as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabets?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven word: 'STARTEW'
So, there are two such pairs i.e. ST and RT.
Hence, the correct answer is "Two".
Mistake Points
Here, in both forward and backward directions, means that in the given word we can make pairs in both forward and backward directions.
Thus, only S → T in the forward direction and R → T in the backward direction are possible cases.
Alphabet series ranges from A to Z, and there it stops. So, we can't apply the rule on W and A, as after Z, the series ends.
[Consider the example of LINEAR ARRANGEMENT of A to Z in a line and NOT CIRCULAR ARRANGEMENT]

S 4 5 4 S S 4 5 4 S 7 S W 7 5 7 5 W 4 4 4 W C C 5 5 7 C C 7
Numbers are 454, 454, 757, 575, 444
Hence, five is the correct answer.If it is possible to make a meaningful English word with the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 8th letters of the word AMENDMENT, which of the following will be the third letter of that word?

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe alphabets are positioned as in the following order:
Given word → CLUSTERS
The given word can be represented as follows,
So, In the forward direction → "ST" and "RS".
In the backward direction → "RT".
∴ Here, three pairs are there in word 'CLUSTERS', each of which has many letters between them in the word (both forward and backward direction) as they have between them in the English Alphabet.
Hence, the correct answer is "3".
If in the given number 86352876, every even digit is replaced with the digit immediately preceding it and every odd digit is replaced with the digit immediately following it in natural number series, then what will be the product of 2nd digit from the left end and 5th digit from the right end?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven number – 86352876
8 | 6 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 7 | 6 |
Even | Even | Odd | Odd | Even | Even | Odd | Even |
-1 | -1 | +1 | +1 | -1 | -1 | +1 | -1 |
7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 7 | 8 | 5 |
By replacing the digits as mentioned in the question, we get 75461785
2nd digit from the left end is 5
5th digit from the right end is 6
5 × 6 = 30
Hence, the correct answer is ‘30’.
