ei

5th term=53+53=178
m

6th term=178+62=214

From Statement I, we have

M+N=6+53=59 which is a prime number

Thus, I is correct

From Statement II, we have

M+Y=6+44=50

Prime factorization of 50 gives 50=21*52

Mains Topic wise Missing Number Series Set -4 (Mains)

So, number of factors of 50=(1+1)*(2+1)=6

Thus, II is correct

From statement III, we have

2X+5N+6=2*43+53*5+6=357

Prime factorisation of 357 gives 357=31*71*171

Largest prime factor is 17

Thus, III is not correct

For statement I, we have

2X-Y+k is a perfect squareand k<30, k>0

2X-Y+k=598

Nearest square to 598 is 625

=> k=625-598=27<30

Mains Topic wise Missing Number Series Set -4 (Mains)

Thus, I is correct

For statement II, we have

M2-1008=2532-1008=64009-1008=63001

√(63001)=251.57

So, 63001 isn’t a perfect square

Thus, II is not correct

For statement III, we have

N+3=911+3=914

om
Factors of 914 are 1, 2, 457 and 914. So there are only two prime factors

From statement II, we have

N=366=3*2*61

Thus, highest prime factor is 61

Thus, II is correct

From statement III, we have

Y=186.

When three-digit number 14p is added to it, we get (1+1)(8+4)(6+p)

Answer: A

For Series I,
in

4 is the average of consecutive prime numbers 3 and 5

ts
ra

6 is the average of consecutive prime numbers 5 and 7

12 is the average of consecutive prime numbers 11 and 13

sa

The series is based on an average of 2 consecutive odd numbers which are also prime numbers
am

Similarly, 42 is the average of consecutive prime numbers 41 and 43

sn

Thus, X must be an average of 59 and 61 i.e., 60 and Y must be an average of 71 and 73 i.e.,72.
ei

=> X=60 and Y=72

For Series II,

3rd term=14=13+23+33=1+8+27=36

Similarly, 5th term=98=15+25+35=1+32+243=276

Statement I:

X+2Y-10=60+144-10=194

Thus, 2316/194=1158/97 => 194 isn’t a factor of N or 2316.

=> I is wrong

Statement II:

M+X+Y=794+60+72=926>900

Thus, II is correct

Statement III:

om
For M/p to be a prime number, p must be the highest divisible factor of M

l.c
M=794=397*2, both the factors are prime number

So, p must be 397 which is a prime number
