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.

These are square numbers: 1², 2², 3², ... so next is 5² = 25.

All start with ‘S’, but 'a' comes before ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’.

Dinesh > Ramesh > Suresh. So, Suresh is shortest.

Rubber is not a major crop in UP; the rest are.

attern: ×2 -1: 3×2-1=5, 5×2-1=9... next is 17×2 -1 = 33

Letters decrease alternately in pattern: P→M, Q→N, etc.

Each letter is shifted +1 in the alphabet.

All others are perfect squares; 42 is not.

Each number is multiplied by 2.

Only ‘RASA’ can be formed using letters from ‘VARANASI’.

L(12)+U(21)+C(3)+K(11)+N(14)+O(15)+W(23) = 102

He ends up 5 km east of the start point.

All others are in UP; Manali is in Himachal Pradesh.

In a mirror, R becomes Я and A becomes Λ.

North → Left (West) → Right (North) → 180° → South. Correct answer: South.

It is a geometric series with ×3.

Work is inversely proportional to workforce; 10 will take half the time.

Bahraich < Banda < Bareilly < Basti as per alphabetical order.

Lucknow is on the Gomti River, Kanpur on the Yamuna.

All others are in Uttar Pradesh; Giridih is in Jharkhand.

Each letter is shifted +2: A→C, G→I, etc.
