Question 1

Find the number that will replace the question mark (?) at the bottom of the third figure.

three branched figures with three numbers at the top and one at the bottom, the last bottom number shown as a question mark

three branched figures with three numbers at the top and one at the bottom, the last bottom number shown as a question mark

12✓✗

10✓✗

8✓✗

15✓✗

Explanation

(7 + 9 + 14)/5 = 6; (11 + 8 + 16)/5 = 7; similarly, (18 + 12 + 20)/5 = 10.

Question 2

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the triangle of the last row?

three rows of three numbers in boxes, each followed by a triangle holding a number, the last triangle showing a question mark

three rows of three numbers in boxes, each followed by a triangle holding a number, the last triangle showing a question mark

6✓✗

10✓✗

9✓✗

7✓✗

Explanation

(8 + 6 + 7)/3 = 7; (9 + 5 + 10)/3 = 8; similarly, (11 + 3 + 13)/3 = 9.

Question 3

Find the number that will replace the question mark (?) inside the middle triangle.

three triangles with numbers on the left, right and bottom sides and one in the centre, the middle triangle centre shown as a question mark

three triangles with numbers on the left, right and bottom sides and one in the centre, the middle triangle centre shown as a question mark

31✓✗

21✓✗

17✓✗

15✓✗

Explanation

(6 × 4) - 5 = 19 and (7 × 5) - 9 = 26. Therefore, (8 × 3) - 7 = 17.

Question 4

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the middle of the third figure?

three left-pointing branched figures with top, middle and bottom numbers, the last middle number shown as a question mark

three left-pointing branched figures with top, middle and bottom numbers, the last middle number shown as a question mark

34✓✗

37✓✗

40✓✗

42✓✗

Explanation

The middle number is the average of the top and bottom numbers: (4 + 22)/2 = 13, (7 + 43)/2 = 25. Similarly, (10 + 64)/2 = 37.

Question 5

Which one will replace the question mark (?) in the grid below?

3 by 3 grid of letters with subscript numbers and a missing last cell in the middle row

N₇✓✗

M₇✓✗

N₈✓✗

O₇✓✗

Explanation

Across each row the letters move 3 steps forward: B → E → H, N → Q → T, so H → K → N. Down each column the letters move 6 steps: B → H → N. The number in the third box is the sum of the first two: 1 + 3 = 4, 4 + 6 = 10, so 2 + 5 = 7. Therefore, the answer is N₇.
