The pattern is placing vowels at the start in the order they appear and consonants at the end in reversed order. “SARASWATI” → vowels: A, A, A, I → AASS, consonants: S, R, S, W, T → IRWAT Thus, it becomes AASSIRWAT.

Each letter in MONDAY is assigned numbers 1 to 6. The same letters in WEDNESDAY get the same numbers, and new letters are added in sequence. It’s a logical mapping of unique alphabets in a sequence. It tests memory mapping and reasoning.

Placing B as the central point, A is directly south, and C is directly east. From C's point, A lies to the southwest. This is a directional logic problem requiring diagrammatic visualization. Such questions are common in spatial reasoning.

It is a geometric progression: each number is multiplied by 2. 64×2 = 128. It tests pattern recognition under multiplication.

In a vertical mirror image, the order of letters reverses from left to right. So “LUCKNOW” becomes “WONKCUL”. It checks spatial reasoning and visualization.

This is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3. Each term is the previous term multiplied by 3. 81×3 = 243. These patterns are typical in sequence and series problems.

V(22)+A(1)+R(18)+A(1)+N(14)+A(1)+S(19)+I(9) = 104. Each alphabet is converted to its positional number and summed. It’s an arithmetic-based coding pattern.

“My father's wife” = mother (assuming only one wife). Her only daughter = sister of the man. Her son = nephew of the man. But he says “only daughter of my father's wife” → the man is speaking about his own daughter → that child is his son. The relation traced confirms the person is the man's son.

Each letter is replaced by its alphabetical position: U(21), T(20), T(20), A(1), R(18), P(16), R(18), A(1), D(4), E(5), S(19), H(8). Combining gives the correct numerical sequence. This type checks sequential transformation from characters to numbers.

The pattern is: multiply previous term by 2 then subtract 1. 7×2–1 = 13, 13×2–1 = 25, 25×2–1 = 49, 49×2–1 = 97, 97×2–1 = 193. Thus, the missing number before 193 is 97.

P is R’s mother, Q is P’s brother → Q is R’s maternal uncle. T is Q’s father, so T is also P’s father, which makes T the grandfather of R. By tracing relations, T → P → R confirms T is a generation above R. This type of question tests family tree reasoning.

The code pattern adds 3 to the ASCII value of each character of the word. For example, A(65)+3 = D(68), L(76)+3 = O(79). This same rule applies to LUCKNOW → OXEKQVT. This type of question requires pattern recognition based on ASCII shifts.

If Kanpur lies 300 km east of Lucknow, and Varanasi is 200 km further east, then total linear eastward distance from Lucknow to Varanasi is 300 + 200 = 500 km. No angular or alternate path is involved, so the shortest path is the sum. This is a straightforward directional distance-based problem.

Each letter in UTTAR is shifted forward with increasing step sizes: U(+1)=V, T(+2)=V, T(+3)=W, A(+4)=E, R(+5)=W. Then reversed → WEWVV. Same shift and reverse logic applied to PRADESH results in: VYBFJZN. The trick lies in incremental shifting and reversing the result.

The code is based on the position of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26). AGRA = A(1), G(7), R(18), A(1) → 1-7-18-1. It follows the same encoding principle as used in LUCKNOW. No alteration, reverse, or shift is applied, only direct alphabetical positions.

Bakhira is the largest natural floodplain wetland in eastern UP and hosts thousands of migratory birds. It has been declared a Ramsar site. It plays a vital role in groundwater recharge and biodiversity conservation.

Water ATMs were introduced in Noida to provide clean, affordable drinking water in urban areas. These machines purify and dispense water via smart cards. They help in reducing plastic bottle usage too.

UP is promoting solar energy through rooftop projects, solar parks, and grid connections. The state has high solar potential, especially in Bundelkhand and Purvanchal. Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) oversees these efforts.

UP receives an average of 1000 mm rainfall annually, mostly during the monsoon season (June–September). Eastern UP gets more rain than western parts. Irrigation systems are necessary due to uneven distribution.

This central act, implemented by the state, provides protection to wildlife, prohibits poaching, and sets up sanctuaries. Dudhwa, Hastinapur, and other sanctuaries operate under its provisions. It also regulates hunting and trade of species.

Banda district in Bundelkhand faces serious fluoride contamination leading to fluorosis and bone deformities. Lack of surface water and over-reliance on groundwater worsens the issue. Safe water projects are ongoing.

Bijnor became the first district to be declared ODF+ (Open Defecation Free plus), which includes sustained cleanliness and solid waste management. It signifies progress beyond just toilet access. Community participation played a big role.

Punjab and Haryana's stubble burning contributes to smog across western UP. The air becomes heavy with pollutants during winter. This leads to respiratory problems and poor AQI levels.

Noida has consistently improved its solid waste management, green cover, and sanitation under the Swachh Bharat Mission. The city adopted door-to-door waste collection and composting systems. It ranked among the top cleanest cities in India.

Black Zone areas suffer from high salt concentration in the soil, affecting fertility and crop productivity. Such areas are common in central UP. Soil reclamation and gypsum treatment are adopted solutions.

Sugarcane is a water-intensive crop, and its large-scale cultivation in western UP has led to significant groundwater depletion. Over-irrigation and subsidized electricity worsen the issue. Sustainable farming practices are being promoted.

Namami Gange is a central government program with focus areas in UP to clean the Ganga, especially in Varanasi, Kanpur, and Allahabad. It funds sewage treatment plants and riverfront beautification. It also emphasizes public awareness.

Firozabad, known for its glass bangles, discharges untreated industrial effluents into local water bodies. The Yamuna River is significantly impacted downstream. Efforts are being made to establish a common effluent treatment plant (CETP).
