In this unit we will discuss all the questions based on number series. In these type of questions student
have to follow a definite pattern throughout the series. The task for the student is to follow the pattern
and to complete the given series with the best alternative or to find the wrong term in the series.

DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF NUMBER SERIES

Pattern 1: When the difference between the consecutive numbers is same/constant or the number series
is in arithmetic progression.

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, ........, a + (n – 1)d. Where a is first term, d is the common difference

Ex 1: 24, 21, 18, ?, 12, 9

Pattern 2: Any constant number is added to the difference of the consecutive numbers and form a series.

Ex 2: 2, 4, 8, 14, 22, ?

Ex 3: 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 18, ?

Pattern 3: Multiplication or division Pattern. When a series is multiplied or divide by certain constant.

Ex 4: 6174, 882, 126, ?

Ex 5: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, ?, 54
____ (a) 18 (b) 27 (c) 36 (d) 81 (e) none of these

𝑛×(𝑛+1)
term of the series be .
2

Ex 10: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ...... find the 15th term of the series?

Pattern 7: Product of the digits and summation with any constant, gives next number of the series.
