(a) 3478
(b) 1418
(c) 5675
(d) 1077
Ans.(d)
Sol. The
pattern of number series is as follows:
pattern of number series is as follows:
9050
– 153 =
9050 – 3375 = 5675
– 153 =
9050 – 3375 = 5675
5675
– 133
= 5675 – 2197 = 3478
– 133
= 5675 – 2197 = 3478
3478
– 113
= 3478 – 1331 = 2147
– 113
= 3478 – 1331 = 2147
2147
– 93
= 2147 – 729 = 1418
– 93
= 2147 – 729 = 1418
1418 –
73 =
1418 – 343 = 1075 [1077]
73 =
1418 – 343 = 1075 [1077]
Q11. 8 , 12 , 24 , 46 , 72 , 108 , 216
(a) 12
(b) 24
(c) 46
(d) 72
Ans.(c)
Sol. The series is

(a) 7
(b) 12
(c) 40
(d) 1742
Ans.(d)
Sol. The pattern of number series is as follows:
7 × 2 – (0 + 2) = 12
12 × 4 – (2 + 6) = 48 – 8 = 40
40 × 6 – (4 + 10) = 240 – 14 = 226
226 × 8 – (6 + 14) = 1808 – 20= 1788 [1742]
1788× 10 – (8 + 18) = 17880 – 26 = 17854
