Number Series

The document describes different types of series that are used to test logical reasoning abilities. It defines series as a sequence or pattern of numbers, letters, or alphabets. There are four main types of series discussed: (1) number series which identify missing or next terms in numeric patterns, (2) geometric series where each term is multiplied by a common ratio, (3) series involving squares and cubes, and (4) prime number series involving odd and even terms. Examples of series questions are provided for each type to illustrate the patterns being tested.
