10. Ans. E.
12 x 0.5 + 1 = 7
100 * 6/4 = 150
7x1+1=8
150 * 5/4 = 187.5
8 x 1.5 + 1 = 13
187.5 * 4/4 = 187.5
13 x 2 + 1 = 27
187.5 * ¾ = 140.625
27 x 2.5 + 1 = 68.5
140.625 * 2/4 = 70.3125
5. Ans. B.

14 = 5*3 – 1
41 = 14*3 – 1
122 = 41*3 – 1
? = 122*3 – 1, i.e. ? = 365
Hence option B is the right answer. 1094 = 365*3 – 1
6. Ans. D. 12. Ans. A.
Solution- 23+5=8+5=13
The pattern of the series is 33+5=27+5=32

3, 14, 39, 84, 155, 258, ? The pattern is as follows:

= n3 + n2 + n put n = 1, 2, 3, 4 …. 7 + (2^3-1) = 14
7th term = 343 + 49 + 7 = 399 14+(3^3-1) = 40
16. Ans. C. 40+(4^3-1) = 103
If we observe the question, we can draw 103+(5^3-1) = 227
a pattern 227+(6^3-1) = 442
24. Ans. B.
Solution-
The pattern of the series
12 × 0.5 + 2 = 8
8 × 1.5 + 4 = 16
16 × 2.5 + 8 = 48
48 × 3.5 + 16 = 184
184 × 4.5 + 32 = 860
Hence, C is the correct option. 25. Ans. B.
17. Ans. A. The pattern of the given series is
AS in this series the pattern is →-4,-9,- ⟹9999
16,-25, -36 ⟹9999 – 153 = 9999 – 3375 = 6624
So, in place of ? →246 must be come ⟹ 6624 – 133 = 6624 – 2197 = 4427
18. 1. Ans. A. ⟹ 4427 – 113 = 4427– 1331 = 3096
8×1+1=9 ⟹ 3096 – 93 = 3096 – 729 = 2367
9 × 1.5 + 1.5= 15 ⟹ 2367 – 73 = 2367 – 343 = 2024
15 × 2 + 2 = 32 ∴ ? = 2024
32 × 2.5 + 2.5 = 82.5 26. Ans. D.
82.5 × 3 + 3 = 250.5 This series
19. Ans. A. 2*4-1=7
Pattern difference is : 7*4-1=27
+23−1, +33−2, +43−3, +53−4, So, 1707 will come in place of 1708
+63−5………… 27. Ans. D.
So answer will be 216-(63−5)=427
20. Ans. D.
If we observe the question, we can draw
a pattern

Clearly, to follow a pattern difference

‘111’ should be replaced by 112
So, correct no. after 709 will be 709 +
112 = 821
28. Ans. D.
The series follows the pattern,
82-17=65
21. Ans. D. 65+19=84
The pattern is: 84-23=61
6*1 + 12 = 7 61+29=90
8*1 + 22 = 12 90-31=59
10*1 + 32 = 19 Thus, the incorrect number is 88
12*1 + 42 = 28 So option (d) is the correct answer.
14*1 + 52 = 39 29. Ans. A.
16*1 + 62 = 52

So the wrong term 60 is replace by = 30

+ 32 = 62
Hence, there should be 83 in place of 38. Ans. C.

32. Ans. A.
The series is
6250 – 152= 6025
6025- 132= 5856 42. Ans. C.
5856 – 112= 5735

34. Ans. D.
The series is
520 – (132 + 13) = 338
338 – (112 + 11) = 206 45. Ans. D.
206 – (92 + 9) = 116
116 – (72 + 7) = 60
35. Ans. A. 46. Ans. E.
The series is The Pattern is:-
64*2+ 2= 130
130*2 + 4= 264
264* 2 + 6= 534
534*2 + 8 = 1076
1076*2 + 10 = 2162

So the wrong term 28 is replace by = 33
- 1 = 26
37. Ans. B.
The pattern is = + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + Thus, the incorrect number is 160
128 So option (e) is the correct answer.
