SOLUTION:
S1. 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
S2. 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 = 24
19 should be replaced by 17 for which 21 - 17 = 4
S3. 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.
S4. 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.
S5. 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.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : 6+1,5+8,4+27,3+64,2+125
Similarly, 56+1=31
315+8=163
Hence, 163 will come in place of (b).
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern
13 = 4 1 + 1 9
40 = 13 2 + 2 7
135 = 40 3 + 3 5
552 = 135 4 + 4 3
2765 = 552 5 + 5 1
Similarly,
(a) = 2 l + 1 9 = 11
(b) = 11 2 + 2 7 = 36
(c) = 36 3 + 3 5 = 123
Hence, 123 will come in place of (c).
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern: 2+2,2-2,2+2,2-2..
Hence, 4 will come in place of (d).
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : 2+7,2+11,2+13,2+17,2+19
(7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ..... are consecutive prime numbers)
Hence, 159 will come in place of (d).
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : 0.5,1.5,2.5.
Hence, 22.5 will come in place of (c).
S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given number series is based on the following pattern :
13 1 + 1 = 14
14 2 + 2 = 30
30 3 + 3 = 93
93 4 + 4 = 376
376 5 + 5 = 1885
? = 1885 6 + 6 = 11316
Hence, number 11316 will replace the question mark.
S12. Ans.(b))
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern :1.5,1.5,..
S13. Ans.(d)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : 0.6,0.6..
S14. Ans.(a)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : 0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5.
S15. Ans.(e)
Sol.
705 + 1 23 = 728
728 + 2 23 = 774
774 + 3 23 = 843
843 + 4 23 = 935
935 + 5 23 = 1050
? = 1050 + 6 23 = 1050 + 138 = 1188
