number series questions for competitive exams
Solve the number series questions given below:
2 13 35 68 112 ?
(a) 173
(b) 178
(c) 163
(d) 167
(e) None of these
Solution: (c)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 2+1\times 11=2+11=13\)
\(\displaystyle 13+2\times 11=13+22=35\)
\(\displaystyle 35+3\times 11=35+33=68\)
\(\displaystyle 68+4\times 11=68+44=112\)
\(\displaystyle 112+5\times 11=112+55=167\)
650 601 565 540 524 ?
(a) 512
(b) 514
(c) 511
(d) 515
(e) None of these
Solution: (d)
The pattern of the number series question is :
\(\displaystyle 650-{{7}^{2}}=650-49=601\)
\(\displaystyle 601-{{6}^{2}}=601-36=565\)
\(\displaystyle 565-{{5}^{2}}=565-25=540\)
\(\displaystyle 540-{{4}^{2}}=540-16=524\)
\(\displaystyle 524-{{3}^{2}}=524-9=515\)
5 15 35 75 155 (?)
(a) 295
(b) 315
(c) 275
(d) 305
(e) None of these
Solution: (b)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
15 – 5 = 10; 35 – 15 = 20
75 – 35 = 40; 155 – 75 = 80
Now ? = 155 + 160 = 315
688 472 347 283 256 (?)
(a) 236
(b) 229
(c) 255
d) 248
(e) None of these
Solution: (d)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 688-472=216={{6}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 472-347=125={{5}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 347-283=64={{4}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle 283-256=27={{3}^{3}}\)
\(\displaystyle ?=256-{{2}^{3}}=256-8=248\)
1 1 2 6 (?) 120
(a) 24
(b) 60
(c) 100
(d) 30
(e) None of these
Solution: (a)
The given number series question is based on the following pattern:
\(\displaystyle 1\times 1=1\)
\(\displaystyle 1\times 2=2\)
\(\displaystyle 2\times 3=6\)
\(\displaystyle 6\times 4=24\)
\(\displaystyle 24\times 5=120\)
