(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The terms exhibit the pattern $2^1$, $2^2$, $2^3$ and so on.


Q-4)   What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?

24, 49, ?, 94, 15, 31, 59, 58

Q-9)   Only one number is wrong in the following number series. Find out the wrong number.

4, 6, 18, 49, 201, 1011

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is

× 1 + 2, × 2 + 3, × 3 + 4, × 4 + 5, × 5 + 6

The wrong number is 18.

It should be 6 × 2 + 3 = 15

70000, 14000, 2800, ?, 112, 22.4

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is as follows:

÷ 5

Hence, ? = 2800 ÷ 5 = 560

10, 14, 25, 55, 140, (?)

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is as follows:

× 3 – 16, × 3 – 17, × 3 – 20, × 3 – 25, × 3 – 32

Hence, ? = 140 × 3 – 32 = 388


Q-12)   Only one number is wrong in the following number series. Find out the wrong number.

19, 68, 102, 129, 145, 154

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The series is + $(7)^2$, + $(6)^2$, + $(5)^2$, + $(4)^2$, + $(3)^2$

The wrong number is 102.

It should be 68 + $(6)^2$ = 104

(e)

Explanation:

7 = $2^3$ – 1

26 = $3^3$ – 1

63 = $4^3$ – 1

124 = $5^3$ – 1

215 = $6^3$ – 1

? = $7^3$ – 1 = 342

22, 23, 27, 36, 52, 77, ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

The given number series is based on the following pattern:

22 + $1^2$ = 22 + 1 = 23

23 + $2^2$ = 23 + 4 = 27

27 + $3^2$ = 27 + 9 = 36

36 + $4^2$ = 36 + 16 = 52

52 + $5^2$ = 52 + 25 = 77

∴ ? = 77 + $6^2$

= 77 + 36 = 113
