A
16
B
18
C
20
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The sequence is formed by adding the previous two terms: starting with 2 and 1, the next terms are 2+1=3, 1+3=4, 3+4=7, 4+7=11. Therefore, the next term is 7+11=18, which corresponds to option B.

What is the next number in the series: 5, 8, 14, 26, ?

A
30
B
48
C
50
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The pattern in the series is that the difference between consecutive terms doubles each time: 8 - 5 = 3, 14 - 8 = 6 (which is 2 × 3), 26 - 14 = 12 (which is 2 × 6). Following this pattern, the next difference should be 24 (2 × 12). Adding 24 to the last term 26 gives 50. Therefore, the next number in the series is 50, which corresponds to option C.

Analytical Reasoning

Six persons A, B, C, D, E, and F are standing in a row. C and D are standing close to each other alongside E, and B is standing beside A only. A is fourth from F. Who is standing at the extremes?

A
A and F
B
B and D
C
B and F
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Given the conditions, B stands beside A only, and A is fourth from F, placing A and F apart with B next to A. C and D stand close alongside E, so they occupy the middle positions. This arrangement places B and F at the extremes.
