Find the missing term in the given series ?26 50 196 ? 93521. 9952. 11703. 8824. 1051

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1170

The pattern followed here is:

26 × 2 – 2 = 50

50 × 4 – 4 = 196

196 × 6 – 6 = 1170

1170 × 8 – 8 = 9352

Hence, the missing term is 1170.

2.

Find out the wrong number in the series :196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 80, 641. 1692. 1443. 1214. 80

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 80

The logic is:

142= 196

132= 169

122= 144

112= 121

102= 100

92= 81≠ 80

82= 64

Instead of 80, it should be 81.

Hence, ‘80’ is the correct answer.

3.

A number is given with one term missing. Select the correct alternative from the given options which will complete the series.8, 3, 11, 22, 33, ?, 991. 132. 443. 664. 25

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 66

The pattern followed here is:

8 + 3 = 11

11 × 2 = 22

22 + 11 = 33

33 × 2 = 66

66 + 33 = 99

Hence, ‘66’ is the correct answer.

4.

Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.196, 98, 392, 196, 784, ?1. 962. 3923. 1484. 90

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 392

The pattern followed here is:

196 ÷ 2 = 98

98 × 4 = 392

392 ÷ 2 = 196

196 × 4 = 784

784 ÷ 2 = 392

Hence, ‘392’ is the correct answer.

5.

Select the option that represents the letters that, when placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series._ _ b b _ _ e a _ _ b c _ _ a a _ _ c d e1. cdaaabdebb2. dabdebbaac3. aacdabdebb4. abdaacdebb

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : aacdabdebb

Checking options one by one:

1) cdbb /are/ aabb / cde/aabb / cde→ doesn't follow any pattern

2) dabb /bde/ aebb / cba/ aaac/ cde→ doesn't follow any pattern

3) aabb /cde / aabb / cde/ aabb / cde→follows apattern

4)abbb /dae / aacb / cde/aabb/ cde→ doesn't follow any pattern

Hence, "aacdabdebb" is the correct answer.

6.

Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.5, 5, 15, 75, 525, ?1. 26252. 10503. 47254. 1575

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4725

The pattern followed here is:

5× 1 = 5;

5× 3 = 15;

15× 5 = 75;

75× 7 = 525;

525× 9 = 4725

Hence 4725 is the correct answer.

7.

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following number series?1713, 1311, 117, 75, ?1. 482. 593. 534. 39

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 53

The logic follows here is:

The given numbers are a pair of prime numbersandtheir preceding prime numbers.

1713 → 17 & 13 both are prime numbers.

1311→ 13 & 11 both are prime numbers.

117 → 11 & 7 both are prime numbers.

75 → 7 & 5 both are prime numbers.

And the series is decreasing in order.

So, the next number would be pair of 53.

53 → 5 & 3 both are the prime numbers.

Thus, the correct answer is "53".

8.

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?5, 12, 22, 46, 90, ?1. 1822. 1803. 1844. 178

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 182

the pattern follows here is;

5× 2 + 2 = 12

12× 2 - 2 = 22

22× 2 + 2 = 46

46× 2 - 2 = 90

90× 2 + 2 = 182

Hence, "182" is the correct answer.

9.

Select the correct option which satisfies the logic given below.4 (89) 5 7 (352) 3 5 (?) 71. 3682. 1743. 4684. 74

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 174

The logic followed here is,

Sum of the cube of first number and square of second number i.e.,

I → 43 + 52 = 64 + 25 = 89

II → 73 + 32 = 343 + 9 = 352

Similarly, III → 53 + 72 = 125 + 49 = 174

Therefore, 174 is the correct answer.

10.

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?7, 24, 75, 228, ?1. 6602. 6563. 6894. 687

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 687

The pattern followed here is:

7× 3 + 3 = 24,

24 × 3 + 3 = 75,

75 × 3 + 3 = 228,

228 × 3 + 3 = 687,

Hence, 687 is the correct answer.

11.

Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series?1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 24, 44, ?1. 812. 633. 1124. 73

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 81

Logic : To get the next term in the series add previous two terms.

The pattern followed here is :

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 1 + 1 = 4

4 + 2 + 1 = 7

7 + 4 + 2 = 13

13 + 7 + 4 = 24

24 + 13 + 7 = 44

44 + 24 + 13 = 81

Hence, '81' is the correct answer.

12.

Identify the number that does NOT belong to the given series of numbers.46, 31, 22, 17, 30, -32, -89, -1791. 302. 223. -324. -89

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 30

The logic followed here is:

Given series:46, 31, 22, 17, 30, -32, -89, -179

The series is in decreasing order but 30 is exceptionally greater than 17.

Thus 30 is the wrong term.

Hence, the correct answer is "30".

13.

Select the missing number from the given series.81, 41.5, 42.5, 64.75, 130.5, ?, 982.751. 327.502. 327.253. 326.254. 327.65

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 327.25

The logic is as:

81× 0.5 + 1 = 41.5

41.5× 1 + 1 = 42.5

42.5× 1.5 + 1 = 64.75

64.75× 2 + 1 = 130.50

130.50× 2.5 + 1 = 327.25

327.25× 3 + 1 = 982.75

Hence, the missing term is327.25.

14.

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?24, 25, 33, 60, ?, 2491. 1472. 1243. 1334. 121

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 124

The pattern followed here is:

24 + 13= 25

25 + 23= 33

33 + 33= 60

60 + 43=124

124 + 53= 249

Hence, the correct answer is 124.

15.

Select the number that will come next in the following series.141, 145, 154, 179, 228, 349, ?1. 6182. 6203. 5204. 518

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 518

The logic is as:

Square of prime numbers are added to the previous one to get the next number in the series.

141 + 22 = 145

145 + 32 = 154

154 + 52 = 179

179 + 72= 228

228 + 112 = 349

349 + 132 = 518

Hence, the missing number is518.

16.

Which numberwill replace the question mark (?) in the given figure series?21, 13, 33, 36, 67, 81, ?, 49, 1021. 962. 643. 244. 100

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 24

The pattern followed here is:

Reverse the number then add consecutive integers.

starting from 21

12 + 1 = 13 , reverse it,

31 + 2 = 33,

33 + 3 = 36,

63 + 4 = 67,

76 + 5 = 81,

18 + 6 = 24,

42 + 7 = 49,

94 + 8 =102,

Hence, 24will bethe correct answer.

17.

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following number series?5, 17, 53, ? , 4851. 1612. 1573. 1634. 159

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 161

The pattern followed here is:

First digit× 3 + 2 = Second digit, Second digit× 3 + 2 = Third digit, and so on.

So, 5× 3 + 2 = 17

17× 3 + 2 = 53

53× 3 + 2 = 161

161× 3 + 2 = 485

Hence, the correct answer is "161".

18.

Select the option that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.6, 11, 33, 65, 141, ?1. 2782. 2813. 3214. 192

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 281

The given series:6, 11, 33, 65, 141, ?
It is an alternate series as shown below:

6× 2 - 1 = 11
11× 2 + 11 = 33
33​× 2 - 1 = 65
65​× 2 + 11 = 141
141​× 2 - 1 = 281

Hence, 281 will be the next term in the series.
