Explanation
1) Answer: A
The pattern is,
32*8 – 7=249,
249*7 - 6=1737,
1737*6 – 5=10471,
10471*5 – 4=52081
The answer is, 52081
2) Answer: C
The pattern of the series is
15*1.5=22.5,
22.5*3=67.5,
67.5*4.5=303.75,
303.75*6=1822.5,
1822.5*7.5=13668.75
3) Answer: D
The pattern of the series is
611+16=627,
627+26=653,
653+36=689,
689+46=735,
735+56=791,
791+66=857
4) Answer: C
24 * 2+ 1 =49
49 * 3 +2 =149
149 * 4 +3 = 599
599 * 5 + 4= 2999
2999 * 6 + 5 = 17999
5) Answer: E
1*6=6
6*7=42
42*8=336
336*9=3024
3024*10=30240
30240*11=332640
6) Answer: D
815-243=572,
572-81=491,
491-27=464,
464-9=455,
455-3=452
7) Answer: C
The pattern is,
1152+(3*4)=1164,
1164+(4*5)=1184,
1184+(5*6)=1214,
1214+(6*7)=1256,
1256+(7*8)=1312
8) Answer: A
The following pattern is
11*1=11,
11*1.5=16.5,
16.5*2=33,
33*2.5=82.5,
82.5*3=247.5,
247.5*3.5=866.25.
9) Answer: A
The following series is
100*0.5+1=51,
51*1+1=52,
52*1.5+1=79,
79*2+1=159,
159*2.5+1=398.5
398.5*3+1=1196.5
10) Answer: B
19÷2=9.5,
9.5÷2=4.75,
4.75÷2=2.375,
2.375÷2=1.1875,
1.1875÷2=0.59375.
11) Answer: D
The pattern is as follows:
30 * 3 -32=81
81 * 4 - 42 = 308
308*5-52=1515
1515* 6- 62= 9054
9054 * 7 - 72 = 63329
12) Answer: A
The pattern is as follows:
8 * 1 + 1.5 = 9.5
9.5 * 2 + 2 = 21
21 * 3 + 2.5 = 65.5
65.5 * 4 + 3 = 265
265* 5 + 3.5 = 1328.5
13) Answer: A
4896 – 100 = 4796
4796 – 121 = 4675
4675 – 144 = 4531
4531 – 169 = 4362
4362 – 196 = 4166
14) Answer: D
Series is
15² – 2 = 223
17² - 2 = 287
19² – 2 = 359
21² – 2 = 439
23² - 2 = 527
25² – 2 = 623
∴ Wrong term = 529
15) Answer: B
51975/5.5=9450
9450/4.5=2100
2100/3.5=600
600/2.5=240
240/1.5=160
16) Answer: B
6*6+4=40
40*6+4=244
244*6+4=1468
1468*6+4=8812
8812*6+4=52876
17) Answer: E
The series is
88*1=88,
88*2=176
176*3=528
528*4=2112
2112*5=10560
18) Answer: C
The series is
7+14=8,
8+24=24,
24+34=105
105+44=361
361+54=986
986+64=2282
19) Answer: E
The pattern is as follows:
38 + 14 * 1 = 52
52 + 14 * 3 = 94
94 + 14 * 5 = 164
164 + 14 * 7 = 262
262 + 14 * 9 = 388
20) Answer: E
151 + 33+ 4 = 182
182 + 43+ 5 = 251
251 +53+ 6 = 382
382 +63+ 7 = 605
605 + 73+ 8 = 956
