. Given a Series 1, 30 5, 26, 9, 22, 13, 18, ?

Find what number would come in place of the question mark(?).
a) 17
b) 22
c) 28
d) 19
Answer : (a) 17
Explanation:-
Observing the pattern carefully, you will observe that, this series consist
of 2 different series.
Let me point out them for ease of understanding —
1+4=5
5+4=9
9 + 4 = 13
13+4= 17.
Similarly,
30 – 4 = 26
26 – 4 = 22
22 – 4 =18

Find the number which will come in the place of the question mark in the
given series 14, 25, 47, 91, 179, ?.
a) 255
b) 321
c) 355
d) 211
Answer : (c) 355
Explanation:-
observing the pattern we get that the difference between consecutive
terms is being doubled every time.
25 – 14 = 11
47 – 25 = 22
91 – 47 = 44
179 – 91 = 88
So, if 88 is doubled, we get 176.
Hence, 179 + 176 = 355
Hence the missing term is 355

Find the number which would come in place of question mark 1, 8, 9,

64, ?.
a) 27
b) 49
c) 25
d) 64
Answer : (c) 25
Explanation:-
Observing carefully one can come to know that this series is nothing but
squares and cubes of numbers starting from 1
12 = 1
23 = 8
32 = 9
43 = 64
52 = 25
Hence, 25 will be the answer

View answer
Correct Answer C

Each number of given series is 15 multiplied by a prime number.

15*11, 15*13, 15*17, 15*19, 15*23. . . . So, Missing number is
15*29 = 435.

Complete the series 6, 13, 28, 59, ?, 249.

A

B
122
C
235
D
56
View answer
 Correct Answer B

First term → 6
Second term → (6*2+1) = 13
Third term → (13*2+2) = 28
Fourth term → (28*2+3) = 59
Fifth term → (59*2+4) = 122
Sixth term → (122*2+5) = 249
So, the required term = 122.

Complete the series 9, 17, 33, 65, ?

A
22
B
67
C
129
D
99
View answer
Correct Answer C

First term → 9

Second term → (9 *2 -1) = 17

Third term → (17 *2 -1) = 33

Fourth term → (33 *2 -1) = 65

Fifth term → (65 *2 -1) = 129

Find the wrong number in the following series 132,168,120,183,102,202

Ans 135

132+36=168-49=119+64=183-81=102+100+202
Complete the series 1, 2, 10, 37, 101, __.

Solution:

Given series: 1, 2, 10, 37, 101, ___.

1 + 13 = 1 + 1 = 2

2 + 23 = 2 + 8 = 10

10 + 33 = 10 + 27 = 37

37 + 43 = 37 + 64 = 101

101 + 53 = 101+ 125 = 226

Thus, the given series follows a pattern of the sum of cubes of the
consecutive natural numbers.

So, the complete series 1, 2, 10, 37, 101, 226.

v 10. Find out the missing term in the given series: 11, 17, 39, 85, ?.

Solution:

Given series: 11, 17, 39, 85, ?.

11 + (32 – 3) = 11 + 6 = 17

17 + (52 – 3) = 17 + 22 = 39

39 + (72 – 3) = 39 + 46 = 85

85 + (92 – 3) = 85 + 78 = 163

Therefore, the missing number in the given series is 163.

I.e., 11, 17, 39, 85, 163.

Find the number of digits that will be on the right side of the
decimal point for the product of 0.5567 and 82.56.

A. 6 B. 5 C. 7 D. 3

Find the missing number 25: 37:: 49:?

Solution:

Here, 52 = 25 and (5+1)2 + 1 = 37

Similarly, 72 = 49 and (7+1)2 + 1 = 65.

Hence, the missing number is 65.

2 5 23 119 ? 4079 A. 611 B. 659 C. 451 D. 320 E. 560

Series Pattern Given Series 2 2 2 ×2+13 5 5 ×3+23 23 23 ×4+33 119 119 ×5+43 659 ✓ 320 ×6+53 4079
Hence, option B is correct

256 128 192 480 ? 7560 A. 1824 B. 1680 C. 1856 D. 1632 E. 1864

Series Pattern Given Series 256 256 256 × 0.5 128 128 × 1.5 192 192 × 2.5 480 480 × 3.5 1680 ✓ 1680
