  1. If CODE is written as DPEF, what does MPTU stand for in the same code?

    Answer: LOST

    Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet (L→M, O→P, S→T, U→V becomes M→L, P→O, T→S, V→U decoded), so MPTU decodes to LOST.

  2. A box contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. What is the probability of drawing 2 red balls in a row without replacement?

    Answer: 2/15

    P = (4/10) × (3/9) = 12/90 = 2/15.

  3. Which number continues the series: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ___?

    Answer: 37

    The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11—consecutive odd numbers—so 26 + 11 = 37.
