###ANSWERS###

1. Ans. B.
The Pattern is:-

Thus, the incorrect number is 336.

So option (c) is the correct answer.
6. Ans. C.
The pattern of series is as:

Thus, the incorrect number is 310. Hence 30 is the wrong term.

So option (b) is the correct answer. 7. Ans. D.
2. Ans. D. (17 + 1)*1 = 18
The series is based on the following (18 + 2)*2 = 40
pattern: (40 + 3)*3 = 129
1×2 + 3= 5 (129 + 4)*4 = 532
5 ×3 - 4= 11 (532 + 5)*5 = 2685
11×4 +5 = 49 8. Ans. D.
49×5 -6 =239 The series follows the pattern,
239×6 +7= 1441 82-17=65
1441×7 -8= 10079 65+19=84
240 is wrong and it should be replaced 84-23=61
by 49×5 -6 =239 61+29=90
3. Ans. E. 90-31=59
The Pattern is:- Thus, the incorrect number is 88
So option (d) is the correct answer.
9. Ans. B.
Series following the pattern,
3= 2*1+1
8 = 3*2+2
27 = 8*3+3
112 = 27*4+4
Thus, the incorrect number is 400. 565 = 112*5+5
So option (e) is the correct answer. 3396 = 565*6+6
4. Ans. C.
The Pattern is:- So 565 will come instead of 570.
Hence, option B.
10. Ans. A.

The series is 15 +

Thus, the incorrect number is 40.

So option (c) is the correct answer.
5. Ans. C. Hence, there should be 83 in place of 81.
The Pattern is:- 11. Ans. B.
4×1.5=6
6×1.5=9
9×1.5=13.5
13.5×1.5=20.25

7

20.25×1.5=30.375 19. Ans. D.

12. Ans. A. The Pattern is:-
32+13=45
45+15=60
60+17=77
77+19=96
13. Ans. D. Thus, the incorrect number is 20.
8, 5, 6, 10, 21, ? So option (d) is the correct answer.
5 = 8*0.5 + 1 20. Ans. D.
6 = 5*1 + 1 The Pattern is:-
10 = 6*1.5 + 1
21 = 10*2 + 1
? = 21*2.5 + 1 = 53.5
14. Ans. D.
113 -4=1327
103 -8=992
93 -16=713
83 – 32 =480
Thus, the incorrect number is 104.
73 -64 =279
So option (d) is the correct answer.
63 – 128 =88
21. Ans. D.
15. Ans. D.
14÷2+2=9
The series has the following pattern
9×2+2=20
5040*0.6,
20÷2+2=12
3024*0.6,
12×2+2=26
1814.4*0.6,
26÷2+2=15
1088.64*0.6,
22. Ans. B.
653.184*0.6
The series is
16. Ans. C.
3.2 *1.5= 4.8
4.8 ÷ 2= 2.4
2.4 *1.5= 3.6
3.6 ÷ 2= 1.8
23. Ans. A.

The series is
17. Ans. B.
The Pattern is:- adding prime numbers

Thus, option (A) is correct choice.

24. Ans. A.
The pattern followed is: 2, 4, 10, 32, ?,
652
Thus, the incorrect number is 60
4 = 2*1 + 2
So option (b) is the correct answer.
10 = 4*2 + 2
18. Ans. D.
32 = 10*3 + 2
pattern is ; × 0.5 + 0.5, × 1 + 1, × 1.5
? = 32*4 + 2, i.e. ? = 130
+ 1.5, × 2 + 2, × 2.5 + 2.5, × 3 + 3
652 = 130*5 + 2
So series is:
25. Ans. B.
7, 4, 5, 9, 20, (52.5), 160.5
51 is wrong number is the series.

32. Ans. B.
446-224=222 (is correct not 225)
222-112=110
Hence option B is the right answer. 110-56=54
26. Ans. B. 54-28=26
1470-80=1390 26-14=12
1390-70=1320 (divide the difference by 2 and subtract)

The pattern is: 328×5+5=1645
30*1 + 11 = 41 34. Ans. B.
29*1 - 12 = 17
28*1 + 13 = 41
27*1 - 14 = 13
26*1 + 15 = 41
25*1 - 16 = 9
28. Ans. C. 35. Ans. B.
The pattern of given series is:
→198,
→190 = 198 – 32 + 1,
→175 = 190 – 42 + 1,
→151 = 175 – 52 + 1, 36. Ans. B.
→116 = 151 – 62 + 1, The pattern of the series is:
→? = 116 – 72 + 1, 114 + 1 × 7 = 121
→? = 68 121 + 3 × 7 = 142
Thus, the missing number is 68 142 + 5 × 7 = 177
29. Ans. E. 177 + 7 × 7 = 226
28*1+1 = 29 226 + 9 × 7 = 289
29*2-2 = 56 37. Ans. A.
56*3+3 = 171 The pattern of the series is:
171*4-4 = 680
680*5+5 = 3405
30. Ans. B.
The pattern of given series is: 38. Ans. C.
→50, The pattern of the series is:
→31 = 50 - (19 × 1),
→88 = 31 + (19 × 3),
→? = 88 - (19 × 5), 39. Ans. C.
→? = - 7 The pattern of the series is:
→126 = -7 + (19 × 7),
→-45 = 126 - (19 × 9)
→164 = -45 + (19 × 11)

The pattern of the series is as follows 75-8 = 67
- 163, + 153, - 143, + 133, - 123 67+4 =71
Hence the no. is =8212−123=6484 71-8 = 63
45. Ans. B. 63+4=67
4 = 3 + 12 67-8= 59
8 = 4 + 22 59+4 = 63
17 = 8 + 32 A subtraction of -8 and then the addition
