Given,

A + B = 2C ----(i)

C + D = 2A----(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii) we get : A + B + C + D = 2C + 2A  

=>  B + D = A + C

Here the relation between a fossil and extinction is that a fossil remains after an extinction. That is fossils are evidence of an extinction.

Similarly, puddle remains after it is rained. That is puddles are evidence of rain.

Therefore, Fossil is to Extinction as Puddle is to Rain.

Here the given words follow a relation in such a way that, grapes are made into wine. Similarly, squid are made into calamari.

Hence, Grapes : Wine :: Squid : Calamari

Given series is A F Z U G L T _

Starts with A

A + 5 letters = F

go to end of alphabet= Z

Z - 5 letters = U

from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L

from U go one back to U, T - 5 letters = O

Second Method ::

Change the letters to their corresponding number.

A=1

B=2

C=3

...

Z=26

A F Z U G L T _

1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ?

Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26

the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21

the 5th and 7th numbers = 27,

so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27.

27 - 12 = 15,

so the letter is O.

The given number puzzle can be soved in two ways.

Logic 1 ::

Row 1  - 2 x 3 = 6 , 6 x 3 = 18

Row 2  - 4 x 5 = 20 , 20 x 5 = 100

Row 3  - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

Logic 2 ::

Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18

Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100

Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.

Given that the next word should start with the ending two letters of the previous word. From this,

The first word is

SHIVER

Now, the next word should start with ER and must contain OT in the middle.

EROTIC

Now, the next word should start with IC and must contain IC in the middle.

ICICLE

Now, the next word should start with LE and must contain NG in the middle.

LENGTH

Now, the next word should start with TH and must contain RA in the middle.

THRASH

Hence, the required five words are SHIVER, EROTIC, ICICLE, LENGTH, THRASH.

5 C in an OF denotes 5 Circles in an Olympic Flag.
