Comment below your score, considering each question has 1 mark only. If you scored 8 to 10, congratulations! You are one step closer to selection. If you have scored 5 to 8 marks, then you are doing well, keep it up. If you have scored less than 5 marks then you need to work a little harder on this subject. But don't worry, we are here to help you master the subject.

Let's check the answers and solutions and try to find out what went wrong.

<h2 id="content-id-1697175910193-2">Answers and Solutions</h2>

Q:1 The correct answer is Option 5 i.e. 1377.

The series follows the following pattern

32 × 1 + 22 = 36

36 × 2 + 33 = 99

99 × 3 + 42 = 313

313 × 4 + 53 = 1377

1377 × 5 + 62 = 6921

 

Q:2 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 7.

The series follows the given pattern

2 × 3 + 1 = 7

3 × 5 + 2 = 17

5 × 7 + 3 = 38

7 × 11 + 4 = 81

11 × 13 + 5 = 148

13 × 17 + 6 = 227

 

Q:3 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 7782.

2, 4, 12, 68, 630, ? 

The series follows the given pattern

10 + 1 = 2

21 + 2 = 4

32 + 3 = 12

43 + 4 = 68

54 + 5 = 630

65 + 6 = 7782

So, ? = 7782

 

Q:4 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 1035.

The series follows the given pattern

[(112 × 5) - 5] = 560 - 5 = 555

[{(112 + 1) × 6} - 6] = 678 - 6 = 672

[{(112 + 2) × 7} - 7] = 798 - 7 = 791

[{(112 + 3) × 8} - 8] = 920 - 8 = 912

[{(112 + 4) × 9} - 9] = 1044 - 9 = 1035

[{(112 + 5) × 10} - 10] = 1170 - 10 = 1160

Thus, the missing term in the series is 1035.

 

Q:5 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 31.

The series pattern is as follows:

2 - 1 = 1 = 12

6 - 2 = 4 = 22

15 - 6 = 9 = 32

So, next difference will be 16 = 42

Missing number will be 15 + 16 = 31

 

Q:6 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 124.

We have to find missing terms with the help of a series of pattern

So, The series pattern is as follows

13 - 1 = 0

23 - 1 = 7

33 - 1 = 26

43 - 1 = 63

53 - 1 = 124

63 - 1 = 215

73 - 1 = 342

Hence, ? = 124

 

Q:7 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 6.

We have to find missing terms with the help of a series pattern.

So,the series pattern is as follows

6 × 2 + 22 = 16

16 × 3 + 32 = 57

57 × 4 + 42 = 244

244 × 5 + 52 = 1245

1245 × 6 + 62 = 7506

Hence, ? = 6

 

Q:8 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 10.0352.

We have to find missing terms with the help of a series pattern.

So, The series pattern is as follows

980 ÷ 2.5 = 392

392 ÷ 2.5 = 156.8

156.8 ÷ 2.5 = 62.72

62.72 ÷ 2.5 25.088 

25.088 ÷ 2.5 = 10.0352 

Hence, ? = 10.0352

 

Q:9 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 81.

We have to find missing terms with the help of a series pattern.

So, The series pattern is as follows

6 × 3/2 = 9

9 × 2 = 18

18 × 3/2 = 27

27 × 2 = 54

54 × 3/2 = 81

81 × 2 = 16

Hence, ? = 81

 

Q:10 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 1485.

 The given number series is based on the following pattern-

\(a - 5^3= b\)

\(b - 6^3= c \)

\(c - 7^3= d\)

\(d - 8^3= e\)

and so on ......

\(3410 - 5^3= 3285\)\(3285 - 6^3= 3069\)\(3069 - 7^3= 2726\)\(2726 - 8^3= 2214\)

\(2214 - 9^3= 1485\)

Thus, the missing term in the series is 1485.
