11. Ans. D.

2. Ans. A.

12. Ans. B.

3. Ans. C.
.
13. Ans. C.

4. Ans. B.

Hence option C is the right answer.

14. Ans. D.
(33+3) = 30
(43+4) = 68
Hence option B is the right answer. (53+5) = 130
5. Ans. D. (63+6) = 222
(73+7) = 350
15. Ans. C.

6. Ans. A.
The pattern is *1, *2, *3, *4
So the missing term is = 48 *5 = 240.
7. Ans. B. .
The series is 203 – 1, 213 – 1, 223-1, 233 – 1, 243 – 16. Ans. E.
1, 253 – 1, 263 – 1 28*1+1 = 29
8. Ans. B. 29*2-2 = 56
23 = 8 56*3+3 = 171
33 = 27 171*4-4 = 680
43 = 64 680*5+5 = 3405
53 = 125 17. Ans. C.
63 = 216 5, 5, 15, 75, 525, 4725, 51975
73 = 343 × 1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 9 × 11
9. Ans. D. Here, the given series is (× 1, × 3, × 5, × 7, × 9,
The pattern is + 6, + 12, + 18, +24 ……….. × 11)
So the missing term is = 68 +30 = 98 Hence, option (C) is correct.

18. Ans. B. 23. Ans. D.

Here, the series is (÷ 2, + 8).
Therefore,
4000, 2008, 1012, ?, 265, 140.5, 78.25
4000 ÷ 2 = 2000 + 8 = 2008
24. Ans. D.
2008 ÷ 2 = 1004 + 8 = 1012
1012 ÷ 2 = 506 + 8 = 514 The series is ×2+10, ×2-10, ×2+10, ×2–10………
514 ÷ 2 = 257 + 8 = 265 So required number is 334
265 ÷ 2 = 132.5 + 8 = 140.5 25. Ans. D.
140.5 ÷ 2 = 70.25 + 8 = 78.25 The pattern is :
Hence, option (B) is correct. 3×1+2=3+2=5
19. Ans. A. 5 × 2 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13
13 × 3 + 4 = 39 + 4 = 43
The pattern of given series is: 43 × 4 + 5 = 172 + 5 = 177
→5, 177 × 5 + 6 = 885 + 6 = 891
→21 = 5 + 22 + 12,
26. Ans. C.
→47 = 21 + 42 + 10,
→91 = 47 + 62 + 8, 26, 38, ?, 68, 86
→? = 91 + 82 + 6, 52 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
→? = 161 62 + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38
→265 = 161 + 102 + 4, 72 + 3 = 49 + 3 = 52
→411 = 265 + 122 + 2 82 + 4 = 64 + 4 = 68
Thus, the missing number is 161 92 + 5 = 81 + 5 = 86

28. Ans. A.
133 = 2197
143 = 2744
153 = 3375
163 = 4096
173 = 4913
183 = 5832
Thus, 4 , 9, 19, 39, 79 159, 319 29. Ans. D.
Hence, option B is correct. The pattern of the number series is :
21. Ans. D. 307 – 11 × 1 = 296
296 – 11 × 2 = 274
The pattern of given series is: 274 – 11 × 3 = 241
→62, 241 – 11 × 4 = 197
→22, 197 – 11 × 5 = 142
→? = (62 -2) ÷ 2, 142 – 11 × 6 = 76
→? = 30, Hence Option D is correct
→13= (22 ÷ 2) + 2,
30. Ans. E.
→14 = (30 -2) ÷ 2,
→8.5= (13 ÷ 2) + 2, 237, 246, 371, 420, 1149, (1270)
→6 = (14 -2) ÷ 2, +9 +125 +49 +729 +121
Thus, the missing number is 30 31. Ans. C.
22. Ans. D. 960 839 758 709 ? 675
960 – 839 = 121 = 112
The pattern is *1+1, *2+2, *3+3, *4+4, 839 – 758 = 81 = 92
So the missing term is = 88*5+5= 445 758 – 709 = 49 = 72

709 – ? = 25 = 52 38. Ans. C.

∴ ? = 709 – 25 = 684 The given series is – (11 × 1), – (11 × 2) – (11 ×
684 – 675 = 9 = 32 3), - (11 × 4), – (11 × 5), – (11 × 6)

33. Ans. A. 40 × 4 – 4 = 160 – 4 = 156
Pattern of the number series is 156 × 3 – 3 = 468 – 3 = 465
3x1+2=5 465 × 2 – 2 = 930 – 28 = 928
5x2+3=13 41. Ans. E.
13x3+4=43 The pattern of the number series is:
43x4+5=177 69- 43 = 26
177x5+6=891 58 - 69 = - 11
34. Ans. D. 84-58 = 26
The given series is 73 - 84 = -11
+ (5 × 1), ⇒ ? = 73 + 26 = 99
+ (5 × 2), 42. Ans. B.
+ (5 × 3),
The numbers are added by 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
