225 + 4x = 325 688xy is divisible by 231
4x = 325 – 225 688xy = 231 × 298
100 68838 = 231 × 298
x = 25
4 x = 3 and y = 8
Hence, the average of 5th and 7th numbers Hence, 5x + 3y = 5 × 3 + 3 × 8

NUMBER ANALOGY
In number analogy also, the relationship between the given numbers is detected and then applied to the second part to
find the missing numbers. This relationship between the numbers can be based on any of the following patterns : (i) numbers
can be odd/even/prime numbers; (ii) numbers can be multiples of one number; (iii) numbers can be squares/cubes of
different numbers; (iv) some numbers can be added to/subtracted from/multiplied to/divided into the first number to get
the second number; (v) the second number can be the sum/product/difference of the digits of first number; and (vi)
combinations of any mathematical calculations given above can apply to the relationship between the two given numbers.

and Classification
TYPE - I
Coding is a secretive language which is used to change the representation of the actual term/word/value. This coded
language can be framed by (i) moving the letters one or more steps forward or backward; (ii) substituting numbers for letters
and vice–versa; (iii) writing the letters of the given word in reverse order in part or in whole; and (iv) replacing the letters
in their natural series by the same positioned letters in their reverse series.
Alphabet in natural series are :
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1st 5th 10th 15th 20th 25th
Alphabet in reverse series are :
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A
1st 5th 10th 15th 20th 25th
Note : On reaching Z, the series restarts from A and on reaching A, it restarts from Z.
