Solution:

From fig. a: 6 + 4 + 8 = 18

18 + 2 = 20

From fig. b: 7 + 9 + 8 = 24

24 + 2 = 26

From fig. c: 6 + 5 + 12 = 23

23 + 2 = 25

Hence the number 25 will replace the question mark.

From column III: (16 x ?) % 8 = 8

16? = 64

? = 4

Character Puzzles Introduction: Verbal Reasoning | IBPS PO Prelims & Mains Preparation - Bank Exams
Solution:

From fig. a: (8 x 5) - (4 x 3) = 28

From fig. b: (12 x 7) - (8 x 9) = 12

From fig. c: (5 x 3) - (6 x ?) = 21

15 - 6? = 21

6? = -6

? = -1

Hence the number -1 will replace the question mark.

Character Puzzles Introduction: Verbal Reasoning | IBPS PO Prelims & Mains Preparation - Bank Exams
Solution:

In each row there are 'A', 'B' and 'C'

In second row 'A' and 'C' are already there

Hence in place of ?, there will be 'B'.

From first row : 4A x 6C = 24B

From third row : 9B x 4C = 36A

From second row : 5A x ? = 45C

? = (45C/5A)

? = 9B

Hence the number 9B will replace the question mark.
