(d) 1052

(e) None of these 

Solution: (b)

By identifying the number series question pattern, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 1.5\times 2+{{1}^{2}}=4\)

\(\displaystyle 4\times 4+{{2}^{2}}=20\)

\(\displaystyle 20\times 6+{{3}^{2}}=126\)

\(\displaystyle 126\times 8+{{4}^{2}}=1048\)

\(\displaystyle 1048\times 10+{{5}^{2}}=10505\)


89250 17850 7140 1428 571.2 ?

(a) 228.48

(b) 126.12

(c) 114.24

(d) 246.48

(e) None of these

Answer: (c)

By identifying the number series MCQ pattern, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 89250\div 5=17850\)

\(\displaystyle 17850\div 2.5=7140\)

\(\displaystyle 7140\div 5=1428\)

\(\displaystyle 1428\div 2.5=571.2\)

\(\displaystyle 571.2\div 5=114.24\)


104 153 189 214 ?

(a) 239

(b) 225

(c) 264

(d) 235

(e) None of these

Answer: (e)

By identifying the number series MCQ pattern, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 104+{{7}^{2}}=153\)

\(\displaystyle 153+{{6}^{2}}=189\)

\(\displaystyle 189+{{5}^{2}}=214\)

\(\displaystyle 214+{{6}^{2}}=230\)


3 1731 ? 3243 3459 3523

(a) 2371

(b) 2731

(c) 3731

(d) 3127

(e) None of these  

Answer: (b)

By identifying the MCQ on number series, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 3523-3459=64={{4}^{3}}\)

\(\displaystyle 3459-3243=216={{6}^{3}}\)

\(\displaystyle ?=3243-{{8}^{3}}=3243-512=2731\)

\(\displaystyle 2731-1731=1000={{10}^{3}}\)

\(\displaystyle 1731-3=1728={{12}^{3}}\)


10 18 34 ? 130 258

(a) 32

(b) 60

(c) 66

(d) 68

(e) None of these  

Answer: (c)

By identifying the MCQ on number series, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 10\times 2-2=20-2=18\)

\(\displaystyle 18\times 2-2=36-2=34\)

\(\displaystyle 34\times 2-2=68-2=66\)

\(\displaystyle 66\times 2-2=132-2=130\)


4 10 33 136 ? 4116

(a) 822

(b) 534

(c) 685

(d) 745

(e) 548

Answer: (c)

By identifying the MCQ on number series, we see that,

\(\displaystyle 4\times 2+2=10\)

\(\displaystyle 10\times 3+3=33\)

\(\displaystyle 33\times 4+4=136\)

\(\displaystyle 136\times 5+5=680+5=685\)     


0.5, 0.55, 0.65, 0.8, ?

(a) 0.9

(b) 0.82

(c) 1
