In partnership with
Welcome to the very first edition of Brain Teasers With Ease — a newsletter designed to sharpen your logical thinking while keeping the experience fun and engaging.
This newsletter is split into:
4 Exam-Focused Sections → NMAT, SNAP & CMAT style Logical Reasoning
4 Fun Brain Sections → Riddles, lateral thinking, visual logic & everyday IQ challenges
Let’s begin 🚀
SECTION 1 — 🔍 Statement & Assumption (NMAT/SNAP)
Question 1
Statement:
“The company has made cybersecurity training mandatory for all employees.”
Conclusions:
Cyber threats are increasing.
Every employee previously ignored cybersecurity rules.
A) Only 1 follows
B) Only 2 follows
C) Both follow
D) Neither follows
Question 2
Statement:
“Many companies are allowing employees to work four days a week.”
Conclusions:
Companies want better employee productivity.
Employees will stop taking leaves.
A) Only 1
B) Only 2
C) Both
D) Neither
✅ Answers & Explanations
1️⃣ A) Only 1 follows
Mandatory cybersecurity training suggests concern about cyber threats. It does not imply employees ignored rules earlier.
2️⃣ D) Neither follows
The statement only says companies allow a four-day work week. Productivity improvement is possible but not definite, and employees stopping leaves is unsupported.
SECTION 2 — 🔢 Number & Pattern Logic
Q1 Find the missing term in the series
AZ,CX,FU,?
A) JQ
B) KP
C) IR
D) JP
Q2 Find the odd man out in the series
5,10,17,26,38,50
A) 17
B) 38
C) 50
D) 26
Q3 What should come in place of question mark (?)
81, 27, 9, 3, ?
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 4
Q4 Select the odd one out.
A) Triangle
B) Square
C) Circle
D) Cube
✅ Answers
1️⃣ First letters:
A → C → F → J
+2, +3, +4
Second letters:
Z → X → U → Q
-2, -3, -4
So, the missing term is JQ.
2️⃣ Series: 5, 10, 17, 26, 38, 50
Expected pattern:
5 + 5 = 10
10 + 7 = 17
17 + 9 = 26
26 + 11 = 37
37 + 13 = 50
So, 38 should be 37.
✅ Odd man out = 38
3️⃣ B) 1
Pattern: ÷3
81 → 27 → 9 → 3 → 1
4️⃣ D) Cube
The others are 2D shapes, while cube is a 3D shape.

SECTION 3 — 🧩 Arrangement Puzzle
Seven friends A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are sitting in a straight line facing North.
C sits third to the right of G.
G sits at one of the extreme ends of the line.
A is an immediate neighbor of C.
B sits second to the left of A.
Only two people sit between B and F.
E is not an immediate neighbor of G.
Who sits at the extreme right end of the line?
A) D
B) C
C) E
D) A
✅ Solution
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
G | D | B | C | A | F | E
Final arrangement:
G | D | B | C | A | F | E
✅ Extreme right end = E
SECTION 4 — 🧠 Coding-Decoding
1️⃣ In a code language, if "go to school" is coded as "la ta ma" and "study in school" is coded as "pa sa ma", what is the code for "school"?
A) la
B) ta
C) ma
D) pa
2️⃣ If TRAIN is coded as UQBJO, then PLANE will be coded as:
A) QMBOF
B) QMBOD
C) OKZMD
D) QKBOF
✅ Solution
1️⃣Common word in both statements: school
Common code in both codes: ma
✅ Answer: C) ma
2️⃣ Each letter is moved one step forward:
T → U
R → S?
But TRAIN → UQBJO does not follow +1 fully, because R → Q and A → B.
So check pattern:
T +1 = U
R -1 = Q
A +1 = B
I +1 = J
N +1 = O
Using same logic for PLANE:
P +1 = Q
L -1 = K
A +1 = B
N +1 = O
E +1 = F
✅ Code = QKBOF
✅ Answer: D) QKBOF
