Reasoning & Maths

Each letter in TEACHER is advanced by two positions in the alphabet, giving V,G,C,E,J,G,T; applying the same +2 shift to STUDENT (S→U, T→V, U→W, D→F, E→G, N→P, T→V) yields UVWFGPV. Option UVWFFPV repeats an F for the fourth character, but the fourth letter D should become F, not another F, so that choice violates the uniform +2 rule.

Because B and C are siblings (B is C’s sister) they share the same parent D, making A, who is B’s brother, also a child of D; as A is male, his relation to D is son. Choosing 'brother' confuses the direction of the relationship – A is not D’s brother but D’s child, so that option misinterprets the generational link.

Each term equals n × (n + 1) where n starts at 1, giving 1·2=2, 2·3=6, 3·4=12, 4·5=20, 5·6=30; the next term uses n=6, so 6·7=42. A diagram for this topic isn't available yet — the worked example below walks the same reasoning step by step.

• !Read each option carefully — distractors on Reasoning & Maths are designed to look plausible.
• !Re-check the exact wording of the question stem before committing to an answer.
• !Watch the qualifiers ("always", "only", "except") that flip a correct-looking option.
