Therefore, ? = 531
Answer is: C)
175). Every third element is the sum of its previous two elements
3+4=7
4 + 7 + 11
7 + 11 = 18
11 + 18 = 29
18 + 29 = 47
Therefore, ? = 47
Answer is: D)

67
Therefore, ? = 82
Answer is: D)
177). Debuct the middle digit each time to obtain the next number
758 – 5 = 753
753 – 5 = 748
748 – 4 = 744
744 – 4 = 740
740 – 4 = 736
736 – 3 = 733
Therefore, ? = 733
Answer is: B)
First ? = 36 and second ? = 38

Required answer = 36, 38
Answer is: B)
179). When the digit of the numbers are reversed these are the perfect squares 09, 16, 25, 36, 49,
64, 81 consecutive
Therefore, ? = Reverse of 64 = 46
Answer is: B)
Therefore, ? = 36

311). 13 + 12 = 2, 23 + 22 = 12, 33 + 32 = 36 and so on 63 + 62 = 252

Answer: C)
312). The odd terms are squares of the numbers 1, 3, 5, ....while the even terms are cubes of the
numbers 2, 4, 6, ....
Answer: C)
313). The difference in consecutive nos. follows the sequence, 10, 40, 160.
So the next difference = 160 × 4 = 640
Therefore number = 213 + 640 = 853.
Answer: D)
314). The numbers in the series are square of 2,4,6 ...,10,12 .
Therefore, the missing number is square of 8 i.e. 82=64.
Answer: D)
315). 8 × 2 – 1 = 15, 15 × 2 – 2 = 28, 28 × 2 – 3 = 53, 53 × 2 – 4 =102

326) Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series in which 2 is subtracted twice, then 3 is
subtracted once, then 2 is subtracted twice, and so on.
327) Option B
Explanation: This is an alternating addition and subtraction series, in which the addition of 4 is

125
alternated with the subtraction of 3.
328) Option E
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series, which subtracts 5, then 2, then 5, and so
on.
329) Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 35, interpolated as
every third number. The pattern of addition is to add 2, add 5, add 2, and so on. The number 35
comes after each "add 2" step.
330) Option B
Explanation: Here, there are two alternating patterns, with every other number following a
different pattern. The first pattern begins with 13 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the
next; the alternating pattern begins with 29 and subtracts 3 each time.
331) Option B
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.
332)OptionA
Explanation: This is an alternating repetition series. The number 32 alternates with a series in
which each number decreases by 2.
333) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple subtraction series in which a random number, 93, is interpolated as
every third number. In the subtraction series, 10 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the
next.
334) Option D
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.
335) Option D

126
Explanation: This series alternates the addition of 4 with the subtraction of 3.
336) Option C
Explanation: The letters decrease by 1; the numbers are multiplied by 2.
337) Option D
Explanation: This is an alternating division and addition series: First, divide by 2, and then add 8.
338) Option A
Explanation: In this series, 5 is added to the previous number; the number 70 is inserted as every
third number.
339) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. The first series begins
with 8 and adds 3; the second begins with 43 and subtracts 2.

So, the next number is (255 × 2) + 1 = 511.
363) A
Sol. Numbers are alternately multiplied by 3 and divided by 2.
So, the next number = 54 ÷ 2 = 27.
364) B
365) B
Sol. Go on multiplying the given numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So, the correct next number is 1440.

SOLUTION:
431) 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.
432) Ans.(B) )
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern :×1.5,×1.5,……..
433) Ans.(D)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.6,×0.6……..
434) Ans.(A)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.5,×1,×1.5,×2,×2.5…….
435) 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
436) Explanation:
2916 ÷ 3 = 972
972 ÷ 3 = 324
324 ÷ 3 = 108
108 ÷ 3 = 36

160
36 ÷ 3 = 12
437) Explanation:
The pattern of the given series is:
⇒ Cube of prime numbers: ⇒
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27
5^3 = 125
7^3 = 343
11^3 = 1331
438)Here, two alternate series are going together with the pattern given below
7=3×2+1
45 = 22 × 2 + 1
15 = 7 × 2 + 1
31 = 15 × 2 + 1
∴The number in the place of question mark = 45 × 2 + 1 = 91
439)We have the terms of the given series formed as

15 = 5 × 3
? = 15 + 2 = 17
51 = 17 × 3
53 = 51 + 2
159 = 53 × 3
161 = 159 + 2
440)
Explanation:
5963 – 3^2 = 5954
5954 – 4^2 = 5938
5938 – 5^2 = 5913
5913 – 6^2 = 5877
5877 – 7^2 = 5828
