(1) 986 (2) 617 (3) 486 (4) 1657 (5) None of these
1. Ans.(d)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
11 = 2 × 3 + 5
38 = 11 × 4 – 6
197 = 38 × 5 + 7
1172 ≠ 197 × 6 – 8
1172 is wrong and it should be replaced by 197 × 6 – 8 = 1174
2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
107 – 71 = 36
71 – 46 = 25
46 – 30 = 16
30 – 21 = 9
21 – 19 = 2≠4
19 should be replaced by 17 for which 21 – 17 = 4
3. Ans.(d)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
16 = 9 + 7
25 = 16 + 9
41 = 25 + 16
68 ≠ 41 + 25
68 should be replaced by 66.
4. Ans.(c)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern: ×0.5,×1.5,×2.5,×3.5,×4.5
Obviously, 3.5 Is the wrong number which should be replaced by 3.
5. Ans.(b)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern: ×0.25,×0.5,×0.75,×1,×1.25
Obviously, 1.75 is the wrong number which should be replaced by 1.5.
6. pattern of the number series is : 13 + 3 = 16 16 + (3 + 3) = 22 22 + (6 = 5) = 33 33 + (11 + 7) = 51 51 + (18 + 9) = 78
7. (3) The pattern of the number series is : 39 + (13 × 1) = 52 52 + (13 × 2) = 78 78 + (13 × 3) = 117 117 + (13 × 4) = 169 169 + (13 × 5) = 234
8. (1) The pattern of the number series is : 656 – 224 = 432 432 – (224 ÷ 2) = 320 320 – (112 ÷ 2) = 264 264 – (56 ÷ 2) = 234 236 – (28 ÷ 2) = 222
9. (2) The pattern of the number series is : 62 + (25 × 1) = 87 87 + (25 × 22) = 187 187 + (25 × 32) = 412 412 + (25 × 42) 812 812 + (25 × 52) = 1437
10. (1) The pattern of the number series is : 7 + (1)2 = 8 8 + (1 + 3)2 = 24 24 + (4 + 5)2 = 105 105 + (9 + 7)2 = 361 361 + (16 + 9)2 = 986
