Latest Arrangement and Pattern MCQ Objective Questions
Arrangement and Pattern Question 1:
Refer to the following number and symbol series and answer the question that follows. Counting to be done from left to right only.
(Left) 3 € $ 1 6 8 6 6 € $ # % # * 3 8 3 1 € 6 @ 3 (Right)
How many such symbols are there each of which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by a symbol?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given series:
3 € $ 1 6 8 6 6 € $ # % # * 3 8 3 1 € 6 @ 3
Condition to be checked:
A symbol that is immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a symbol.
Number → Symbol → Symbol
Let's scan the series:
3 € $ 1 6 8 6 6 € $ # % # * 3 8 3 1 € 6 @ 3
The patterns matching the condition are:
- 3 € $
- 6 € $
Thus, there are 2 such symbols each of which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by a symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 2:
This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.
(Left) 388 739 783 483 785 (Right)
(Example: 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7) (NOTE: All operations to be done from left to right.)
What will be the resultant if the first digit of the highest number is subtracted from the third digit of the lowest number?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given: (Left) 388 739 783 483 785 (Right)
The highest number is: 785
The first digit of the highest number is: 7 (785)
And,
The lowest number is: 388
The third digit of the lowest number is: 8 (388)
So, the resultant if the first digit of the highest number is subtracted from the third digit of the lowest number is:
→ 8 - 7 = 1.
The correct answer is "1".
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 3:
If 2 is added to each odd digit and 1 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 7481652, what will be the difference between the first digit from the left and the first digit from the right in the new number thus formed?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given number: 7481652
Applying the Rules:
| Original Digit | 7 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 6 | 5 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type (Odd/Even) | Odd | Even | Even | Odd | Even | Odd | Even |
| Rule Applied | Add 2 (7 + 2) | Subtract 1 (4 - 1) | Subtract 1 (8 - 1) | Add 2 (1 + 2) | Subtract 1 (6 - 1) | Add 2 (5 + 2) | Subtract 1 (2 - 1) |
| New Digit | 9 | 3 | 7 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 1 |
The new number formed after applying the rules is 9373571.
The first digit from the left in the new number is 9.
The first digit from the right in the new number is 1.
Now,
Difference = First digit from the left - First digit from the right
Difference = 9 - 1 = 8
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 4:
This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below
(Left) 611 733 279 265 370 (Right)
(Example: 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7)
NOTE: All operations to be done from left to right.)
What will be the resultant if the second digit of the highest number is added to the first digit of the lowest number?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given Numbers: 611, 733, 279, 265, 370
Let's identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given set:
- Highest number: Among 611, 733, 279, 265, 370, the highest number is 733.
- Lowest number: Among 611, 733, 279, 265, 370, the lowest number is 265.
Now, let's extract the required digits:
- The second digit of the highest number (733) is 3.
- The first digit of the lowest number (265) is 2.
Finally, we need to find the resultant if the second digit of the highest number is added to the first digit of the lowest number:
→ 3 + 2 = 5.
The resultant is 5.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
Arrangement and Pattern Question 5:
This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.
(Left) 210 878 407 692 140 (Right)
(Example: 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7)
(NOTE: All operations to be done from left to right.)
What will be the resultant if the third digit of the highest number is subtracted from the first digit of the lowest number?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 5 Detailed Solution
The given three-digit numbers are: 210, 878, 407, 692, 140.
Now,
The highest number is 878. Its third digit is 8.
The lowest number is 140. Its first digit is 1.
Perform the subtraction.
Subtract the third digit of the highest number 8 from the first digit of the lowest number 1.
1 - 8 = -7.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

How many such pairs of letters are there in the given word which have as many letters between them in the word (in both the forward and backward directions), as in the English alphabet?
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]

How many such pairs of letters are there in the word 'CLUSTERS' (in both the forward and backward directions) which have as many letters between them in the word as there are in the English alphabetical order?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 11 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’.
