number series reasoning questions for competitive exams
Solve the number series questions given below:
7 8 16 43 ? 232
(a) 204
(b) 107
(c) 119
(d) 89
(e) None of these
Solution: (b)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 8-7=1={{1}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 16-8=8={{2}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 43-16=27={{3}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle ?-43=64={{4}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 232-107=125={{5}^{3}}\)
41472 5184 576 72 8 ?
(a) 0
(b) 9
(c) 1
(d) 8
(e) None of these
Solution: (c)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 1\times 8=8\)
\(\displaystyle 8\times 9=72\)
\(\displaystyle 72\times 8=576\)
\(\displaystyle 576\times 9=5184\)
\(\displaystyle 5184\times 8=41472\)
One of the number in the series wrong, find it
5531 5506 5425 5304 5135 4910 4621
(a) 5531
(b) 5425
(c) 4621
(d) 5135
(e) 5506
Solution: (c)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 5555-{{7}^{2}}=5506\)
\(\displaystyle 5506-{{9}^{2}}=5425\)
\(\displaystyle 5425-{{11}^{2}}=5304\)
\(\displaystyle 5304-{{13}^{2}}=5135\)
\(\displaystyle 5135-{{15}^{2}}=4910\)
\(\displaystyle 4910-{{17}^{2}}=4621\)
Hence, the number 5531 is wrong and it should be replaced by 5555.
1 3 10 36 152 760 4632
(a) 3
(b) 36
(c) 4632
(d) 760
(e) 152
Solution: (d)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 1\times 1+2=3\)
\(\displaystyle 3\times 2+4=10\)
\(\displaystyle 10\times 3+6=36\)
\(\displaystyle 36\times 4+8=152\)
\(\displaystyle 152\times 5+10=770\)
\(\displaystyle 770\times 6+12=4532\)
Hence, the number 760 is wrong and it should be replaced by 770.
One of the number in the series is wrong, find it
6 7 9 13 26 37 69
(a) 7
(b) 26
(c) 69
(d) 37
(e) 9
Solution: (b)
The given number series is based on the following pattern :
\(\displaystyle 6\times 2-5=7\)
\(\displaystyle 7\times 2-5=9\)
\(\displaystyle 9\times 2-5=13\)
\(\displaystyle 13\times 2-5=21\)
\(\displaystyle 21\times 2-5=37\)
\(\displaystyle 37\times 2-5=69\)
Hence, the number 26 is wrong and it should replaced by 21.
