Vikramshila was established by King Dharmapala of the Pala dynasty and was one of the prominent centers of Buddhist education in India.

Bodh Gaya is the place where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, making it a significant religious site.

The Akali Movement (1920s) aimed to liberate Gurdwaras from corrupt mahants and established SGPC’s authority.

Wholesalers act as intermediaries between producers and retailers.

An entrepreneur starts and runs a business, often with innovation and risk.

It is the simplest and oldest form, owned and controlled by one person.

The dictionary order is: Agra, Allahabad, Amroha, Azamgarh. So, the second is Allahabad. It’s a straightforward but tricky alphabetical sequence test.

Each letter is replaced with its reverse alphabet value (A=Z, B=Y, C=X,...). R→I, A→Z, E→V, B→Y... etc. Using this transformation gives IZVYIZOVR. This is a complex letter-replacement reasoning type.

Lucknow, Kanpur, and Varanasi are cities in UP, while Yamuna is a river. It is the only non-urban entity among the options. Odd-one-out questions often use thematic categorization.

Vowels (A, E, U) → next alphabet = B, F, V. Consonants → previous alphabet (T→S, P→O, R→Q, etc.). After substitution, we get: VSSBQ QSBDEFT.

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.
