    DIRECTIONS for questions 6 to 8: Complete the pattern
  6. p _ r _ q _ p _ r
    1. p p r q
    2. q p r q
    3. r p q q
    4. q r q p

    Answer:  Option B
    The best approach is to substitute option and check the pattern
    Substituting option A p p r pq r p q r which does not make any proper pattern.
    By option B the series follows as, p q r/ p q r/ p q r. which is a pattern of pqr.
    Hence answer is option B
  7. 4, 16, 36, 64, 100, ?
    1. 121
    2. 142
    3. 144
    4. 120

    Answer:  Option C
    Here the series follows as 2^2, 4^2, 6^2, and so on. So the term will be 12^2 = 144
  8. D F I M ?
    1. P
    2. Q
