Puzzle Quiz – Set 3 (Advanced Level)
Bank Exam Reasoning & Aptitude Practice
Instructions:
Try to solve all questions within 10 minutes. Avoid guessing—identify the pattern or rule.
Q1. 2, 3, 5, 9, 17, ?
✔️ Answer: 33
Explanation: +1, +2, +4, +8, +16 → next +16 = 33
Q2. Find the missing number: 4, 6, 9, 13, 18, ?
✔️ Answer: 24
Explanation: Differences +2, +3, +4, +5, +6
Q3. If 15 + 51 = 66, then 27 + 72 = ?
✔️ Answer: 99
Explanation: Add numbers directly
Q4. A train 120 m long crosses a man walking at 6 km/hr in opposite direction in 6 sec. Speed of train?
✔️ Answer: 66 km/hr
Explanation: Relative speed = 120/6 = 20 m/s → 72 km/hr; subtract 6 km/hr → 66 km/hr
Q5. Coding: If CAT = 24, BAT = 23, then RAT = ?
✔️ Answer: 40
Explanation: Sum of letter positions (R=18, A=1, T=20 → 39) +1 = 40
Q6. 1, 4, 10, 22, 46, ?
✔️ Answer: 94
Explanation: ×2 +2 pattern → 1→4→10→22→46→94
Q7. A man walks 5 m south, 12 m east. Distance from start?
✔️ Answer: 13 m

Q10. How many rectangles in a 2×3 grid?
✔️ Answer: 18
Explanation: Total rectangles = (2×3×3×4)/4 = 18
Advanced Tips:
• Check second-level patterns (differences/ratios)
• Use relative speed in train problems
• Convert coding to letter positions quickly
• Apply Pythagoras for direction
Conclusion:
These questions reflect exam-level difficulty. Consistent practice will improve speed and accuracy.
