JIPMAT Logical Sequence — PYPs

Step 1: Calculate the gaps
$$5824 - 5242 = 582$$
$$4247 - 3823 = 424$$

Step 2: Dox the hidden pattern
The difference between consecutive terms is literally the first three digits of the leading number.
For $5824$, the first three digits are $582$. Subtracting gives $5824 - 582 = 5242$.

Step 3: Secure the missing term
Apply this rule to $5242$. The first three digits are $524$.
$$5242 - 524 = 4718$$
*(Vibe check: $4718 - 471 = 4247$. The math bridges perfectly).*

Final Answer: 4718

Series A: the four outer numbers multiply, then divide by 10.
First figure: $\frac{3\times5\times4\times2}{10}=\frac{120}{10}=12$.
Second figure: $\frac{6\times5\times2\times3}{10}=\frac{180}{10}=18$.
Applying it to the third: $\frac{2\times5\times2\times9}{10}=\frac{180}{10}=18$.
Missing number: 18.

Series B: $(\text{top}\times\text{bottom})+(\text{left}\times\text{right})$.
First figure: $(2\times5)+(1\times3)=10+3=13$.
Third figure: $(3\times4)+(1\times5)=12+5=17$.
Applying it to the second: $(4\times6)+(1\times5)=24+5=29$.
Missing number: 29.

Series C: $(\text{left}-\text{right})\times(\text{top}-\text{bottom})$.
First figure: $(15-8)\times(10-8)=7\times2=14$.
Second figure: $(9-5)\times(8-6)=4\times2=8$.
Applying it to the third: $(11-8)\times(6-4)=3\times2=6$.
Missing number: 6.

Series D: $(\text{left}\times\text{right})-(\text{top}\times\text{bottom})$.
First figure: $(7\times4)-(5\times3)=28-15=13$.
Second figure: $(8\times4)-(9\times3)=32-27=5$.
Applying it to the third: $(9\times4)-(8\times3)=36-24=12$.
Missing number: 12.

Matching: A $\to$ 18 $\to$ IV, B $\to$ 29 $\to$ III, C $\to$ 6 $\to$ I, D $\to$ 12 $\to$ II.
Hence the correct option is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.

* Series A (GJ, KM, NQ, RT, ?): First letters +4, +3, +4, +3 $\rightarrow$ U. Second letters +3, +4, +3, +4 $\rightarrow$ X. Match = III.
* Series B (AI, BJ, CK, ?): First letters A, B, C $\rightarrow$ D. Second letters I, J, K $\rightarrow$ L. Match = IV.
* Series C (AZ, CX, FU, ?): First letters +2, +3, +4 $\rightarrow$ J. Second letters -2, -3, -4 $\rightarrow$ Q. Match = II.
* Series D (AZ, GT, MN, ?): First letters +6, +6, +6 $\rightarrow$ S. Second letters -6, -6, -6 $\rightarrow$ H. Match = I.

Stacking the matches gives: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.

Final Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

The logical sequence naturally traces the lifecycle of a book from its rawest natural origin state to the final manufactured commercial product.
1. Jungle (D): The starting point/source.
2. Timber (C): The raw wood harvested directly from the jungle.
3. Pulp (B): The broken-down material created by processing the timber.
4. Paper (E): The physical sheets manufactured from the pulp.
5. Book (A): The final consumer product printed on the paper.

The correct and flawless sequence is D, C, B, E, A.

Final Answer: D, C, B, E, A

Each figure holds five arrows - three down the left side, two down the right. Compare the figures in order and only one arrow flips at a time, working through them in reading order: first the left column from top to bottom, then the right column.

Figure 1 has every arrow pointing right. Figure 2 flips the top-left, figure 3 the middle-left, figure 4 the bottom-left, and figure 5 the upper-right. That leaves exactly one arrow still pointing right - the bottom-right one.

So the next figure in the sequence flips that last arrow, leaving all five pointing left. That is Option 2.
