5, 10, 13, 26, 29, 58, ?, 122

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

Q-2)   What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number serie?

3, 7, 13, ?, 31, 43

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The given number series is based on the following pattern:

7 + 6 = 13

13 + 8 = 21

21 + 10 = 31

31 + 12 = 43

Hence, the number 21 will replace the question mark.


Q-3)   What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?

64, 54, 69, 49, 74, 44, ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is as follows:

64 + 5 = 69;

69 + 5 = 74;

74 + 5 = 79

54 – 5 = 49;

49 – 5 = 44


Q-4)   A wrong number is given in the following number series. Find out that wrong number.

16, 19, 21, 30, 46, 71, 107

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is based on the following pattern :

16 + $1^2$ = 17; not 19

17 + $2^2$ = 21

21 + $3^2$ = 30

30 + $4^2$ = 46

46 + $5^2$ = 71

71 + $6^2$ = 107

Clearly, 19 should replaced by 17.


Q-5)   What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?

1, 8, 9, ?, 25, 216, 49

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

Can you see that the pattern is

$1^2$, $2^3$, $3^2$, $4^3$, $5^2$, $6^3$, $7^2$


Q-6)   A wrong number is given in the following number series. Find out that wrong number.

7, 9, 16, 25, 41, 68, 107, 173

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is based on the following pattern :

7 + 9 = 16

9 + 16 = 25

16 + 25 = 41

25 + 41 = 66; 68

41 + 66 = 107

66 + 107 = 173

Clearly, 68 should be replaced by 66


Q-7)   What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?

29, 23, ?, 17, 13, 11, 7

(a)

(b)

336, 210, 120, ?, 24, 6, 0

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

Note that

0 = $1^3$ – 1

6 = $2^3$ – 2

24 = $3^3$ – 3


Q-10)   Only one number is wrong in the following number series. Find out the wrong number.

19, 68, 102, 129, 145, 154

(a)
