Solutions:
1. A) The pattern of given series is :
5 × 1 + 12 = 6
6 × 2 + 22 = 16
16 × 3 + 32 = 57
57 × 4 + 42 = 244
244 × 5 + 52 = 1245
2. C) The pattern of given series is :
3 × 3 – 5 = 4
4 × 3 + 5 = 17
17 × 3 – 5 = 46
46 × 3 + 5 = 143
143 × 3 – 5 = 424
3. B) The pattern of given series is :
50
31 = 50 – (19 × 1)
88 = 31 + (19 × 3)
? = 88 – (19 × 5)
? = –7
126 = – 7 + (19 × 7)
–45 = 126 – (19 × 9)
164 = – 45 + (19 × 11)
4. C) The pattern of given series is :
– 18252
3042 = –18252 ÷ (–6)
–468 = 3042 ÷ (–6.5)
? = –468 ÷ (–6)
? = 78
–12 = 78 ÷ (–6.5)
2 = – 12 ÷ (–6)
–0.30 = 2 ÷ (–6.5)
5. D) The pattern of given series is :
20 = (2)4 + 4
87 = (3)4 + 6
633 = (5)4 + 8
2411 = (7)4 + 10
? = (11)4 + 12
? = 14653
28575 = (13)4 + 14
6. C) The given number series is based on the following pattern :
13 × 1 + 1 = 14
14 × 2 + 2 = 30
30 × 3 + 3 = 93
93 × 4 + 4 = 376
376 × 5 + 5 = 1885
=> ? = 1885 × 6 + 6 = 11316
Hence, number 11316 will replace the question mark.
7. B) The given number series is based on the following pattern :
4 × 1.5 = 6
6 × 1.5 = 9
9 × 1.5 = 13
13 × 1.5 = 20.25
20.25 × 1.5 = 30.375
30.375 × 1.5 = 45.5625
8. D) The given number series is based on the following pattern :
400 × 0.6 = 240
240 × 0.6 = 144
144 × 0.6 = 86.4
86.4 × 0.6 = 51.84
51.84 × 0.6 = 31.04
31.104 × 0.6 = 18.06624
9. A) The given number series is based on the following pattern :
9 × 0.5 = 4.5
4.5 × 1 = 4.5
4.5 × 1.5 = 6.75
6.75 × 2 = 13.5
13.5 × 2.5 = 33.75
33.75 × 3 = 101.25
10. E) 705 + 1 × 23 = 728
728 + 2 × 23 = 774
774 + 3 × 23 = 843
843 + 4 × 23 = 935
935 + 5 × 23 = 1050
Therefore, ? = 1050 + 6 × 23 = 1050 + 138 = 1188
