response to ?.

Never mind, I got the answers. I have seen these types of questions on several applications which have no bearing on the actual jobs. Go figure. Thanks for any assistance given. Have a super day. Firebirdlady02
 
Hello, Firebirdlady02!

This are tests in Imagination and Pattern Recognition.
They have very little to with "real" math.


2 is to 55 as 6 is to _:
. . Choices: 44, 9, 33, or 99

\(\displaystyle 2 \to 55\)
It looks like: Add 3, multiply by 11.

Then: .\(\displaystyle 6 \to (6+3)\cdot11 \:=\:99\)



7 is to 34 as 5 is to _:
. . Choices: 11, 43, 41, or 13

The only guess I have is: .\(\displaystyle a \to b\)
. . where \(\displaystyle a\) is the sum of digits of \(\displaystyle b.\)

Then: .\(\displaystyle 5 \to 41\)


Select the next letter in the sequence: AFZUGLT
. . Choices: O, C, X, or N

I noted the spacing of the letters.

. . \(\displaystyle \begin{array}{c|ccc|ccc|ccc|ccc|} & A & \to & F & Z & \to & U & G &\to & L & T & \to & {\bf O} \\ \text{position} & 1 && 6 & 26 && 21 & 7 && 12 & 20 && {\bf15} \\ \text{shift}&& +5 &&& -5 &&& +5 &&& -5 \end{array}\)
