There is a difference of three between each pair.
11 – 8 = 3, 4 – 1 = 3, 10 – 7 = 3.
However, 5 – 3 = 2, and therefore this is the odd one out

Words in dictionary order are listed such that they are in alphabetical order on the basis of the first letter they differ in. Therefore, the order will be :
Latent (4), Latitude (5), Lattice (3), Laugh (2), Launch (1).

The relation between the letters is as follows,
X – 3 = U, U – 3 = R, R – 3 = O, O – 3 = L
F + 1 = G, G + 2 = I, I + 3 = L, L + 4 = P
B + 2 = D, D + 3 = G, G + 4 = K, K + 5 = P
Hence the next term is LPP.

The difference between each increases by one.
2 – 1 = 1
4 – 2 = 2
7 – 4 = 3
Therefore, the required number will be 7 + 4 = 11, or 16 – 5 = 11.

1) A is shorter than B but taller than C.
⇒ C < A < B
2) D is shorter than A but taller than C.
⇒ C < D < A < B
3) E is shorter than B but taller than A.
⇒ C < D < A < E < B
Therefore, C is the shortest.

Let us consider each option.
1) DISSERTATION → SISTER
2) DISSERTATION → STATION
3) DISSERTATION → DIRECTION
4) DISSERTATION → RATION.
There is no ‘C’ in dissertation, and therefore, direction cannot be formed.

Each letter is denoted by its corresponding numeric place in the alphabet.

Therefore, H = 8, E = 5, A = 1 and R = 18.
On adding these, we get 8 + 5 + 1 + 18 = 32.

By putting in the required operators into the system, we get :
18 × 36 / 12 – 6 + 7
On applying BODMAS, we get
18 x (36/12) – 6 + 7
= (18 x 3) – 6 + 7
= 54 + 1
= 55

Here the logic is as follows,
9 × 8 = 72, 3 × 9 = 27, 2 × 7 = 14
⇒ 72 – 27 – 14 = 31
8 × 7 = 56, 3 × 8 = 24, 3 × 4 = 12
⇒ 56 – 24 – 12 = 20
Similarly,
7 × 9 = 63, 2 × 5 = 10, 1 × 2 = 2
⇒ 63 – 10 – 2 = 51
Hence the required number is 51.
