One term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term.
5, 10, 40, 80, 320, 550, 2560
- (A) 80
- (B) 320
- (C) 550
- (D) 2560
Solution:
The correct pattern is x 2, x 4, x 2, x 4, ..... So, 550 is wrong and must be replaced by (320 x 2) i.e. 640.
62.
1, 9, 25, 49, 81, ?
- (A) 100
- (B) 112
- (C) 121
- (D) 144
Solution:
The series consists of squares of consecutive odd numbers i.e. 12, 32, 52, 72, 92,..... So, missing term = 112 = 121.
63.
1, 9, 25, 49, ?, 121
- (A) 64
- (B) 81
- (C) 91
- (D) 100
Solution:
The given series consists of squares of consecutive odd numbers i.e. 12, 32, 52, 72,..... So, missing term = 92 = 81.
64.
Choose the missing terms out of the given alternatives : A, D, H, M, ?, Z
Solution:
A + 3 = D + 4 = H + 5 = M + 6 = S + 7 = Z
65.
One term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 96
- (A) 4
- (B) 32
- (C) 64
- (D) 96
Solution:
Each term of the series is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by 2. So, 96 is wrong and must be replaced by (64 x 2) i.e. 128.
66.
Choose the missing terms out of the given alternatives : WFB , TGD , QHG , ?
- (A) NIJ
- (B) NIK
- (C) NJK
- (D) OIK
Solution:
1st letter : W - 3 = T - 3 = Q - 3 = N 2nd letter : F + 1 = G + 1 = H + 1 = I 3rd letter : B + 2 = D + 3 = G + 4 = K
67.
Which of the following will not be a number of the series 1, 8, 27, 64, 125,.....?
- (A) 256
- (B) 512
- (C) 729
- (D) 1000
Solution:
The given series consists of cubes of natural numbers only. 256 is not the cube of any natural number.
68.
Choose the missing terms out of the given alternatives :S-4, F-6, H-8, J-10, ?, ?
- (A) K-12, M-13
- (B) L-12, M-14
- (C) L-12, N-14
- (D) K-12, M-14
Solution:
The letters in the series are alternative and the numbers indicate their position in the English alphabet from the beginning.
69.
Choose the correct order of the given alternative : bc, cde, de, efg, fg, ?
- (A) ghi
- (B) fgh
- (C) hij
- (D) ijk
Solution:
In the series, last letter of the term is started to a new term and next two letter is included in the term.So, option (A) is the answer.
70.
5, 2, 7, 9, 16, 25, ?
- (A) 41
- (B) 45
- (C) 48
- (D) 52
Solution:
Each term in the series, except the first two terms, is the sum of the preceding two terms. So, missing term = 16 + 25 = 41.
