d)11 22 + 24 - 1 = 37
e)12 37 + 25 + 1 = 70
SOL. 70 + 26 - 1 = 133
The logic in the series is as follows: 133 + 27 + 1 = 262
4*2 - 5 = 3 262 + 28 - 1 = 517
3*3 - 6 = 3 So, 517 is the 10th term
3*4 - 7 = 5 n = 10
5*5 - 8 = 17 35 A number series is given below, with some extra information.
17*6 - 9 = 93 Answer the questions based on number series accordingly.

Sol. 5111
The logic in the first series is as follows: 1178
(5 - 1)*5 = 20 Sol.
(20 - 2)*4 = 72 x2 + 34x – 111 = 0
(72 - 3)*3 = 207 x2 + 37x – 3x – 111 = 0
(207 - 4)*2 = 406 x = – 37 and 3
(406 - 5)*1 = 401 Hence the series will be,
The second series will be as follows: 3, 6, 12 ..... 10 terms (as 254 = 2 × 127 / 508 = 254 × 2)
(3 - 1)*5 = 10 This is a G.P with a = 3 and r = 2
(10 - 2)*4 = 32 S10 = a (r10 – 1)/(r – 1)
(32 - 3)*3 = 87 S10 = 3 (210 – 1)/1 = 3 × 1023 = 3069
(87 - 4)*2 = 166 36. 1, 3, 9, 31, 129

e)12 1
Sol. 1×1+2=3
The logic in the series is as follows: 3×2+3=9
7 + 20 - 1 = 7 9 × 3 + 4 = 31
7 + 21 + 1 = 10 31 × 4 + 5 = 129

Similarly, (a) 195

7 × 2 + 3 = 17 (d) 229
17 × 3 + 4 = 55 (e) 373
55 × 4 + 5 = 255
So, the missing number is 225

4× = 2 (c) 86
2×1 = 2 (d) 78
2× = 3 (e) 76
3×2 = 6 38(a);
6 × = 15 The series is 25+38= 63,
