Question : 16

A wrong number is given in the following number series. Find out that wrong number.

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

a) 16

b) 68

c) 107

d) 41

e) 25

Answer: (b)

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

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

a) 3.2375

b) 3.575

c) 4.375

d) 4.6275

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

The series is as follows

×2.5, ×2, ×1.5, ×1, ×0.5, ×0

Hence, ? = 37.5 × 0 = 0

Question : 19

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

12, 12, 18, 45, 180, 1170, ?

a) 14675

b) 16756

c) 13485

d) 15890

e) 12285

Answer: (e)

The pattern of series is as follows :

12 × 1 = 12,

12 × 1.5 = 18, [0.5 + 1 = 1.5]

18 × 2.5 = 45, [1+ 1.5 = 2.5]

45× 4 = 180, [1.5 + 2.5 = 4]

180 × 6.5 = 1170, [2.5 + 4 = 6.5]

∴ ? = 1170 × 10.5 = 12285

Hence, 12285 will replace the question mark.

Question : 20

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

588, 587, 583, 574, 558, ?, 497

c) 545

d) 551

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

The series is as follows:

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

Hence, ? = 558 – $5^2$ = 533
