- Q37. 2,6,5,14,11,26,17,??
prime number series : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19
in given series odd palce are prime number and even place are prime number multiplied by 2.
so 19*2= 38 ans - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 38) 6*3=18 18+3=21
8+3=11 11*3=33
2*3=6 6+3=9
5+3=8 8*3=24
7*3=21 21+3=24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 39) 9, 4, 16, 6, 36, 21, 221, ?
Ans : 9 - 4 = 5
16 - 6 = 10
36 - 21 = 15
441 - 421 = 20
Therefore next value in the given series : 421 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- 52) 4, 2, 36, 4, 5, 1, 36, 16, 6, 3, 81, ?
Ans : Divide the series into parts with each containing 4 terms :
i.e, 4, 2, 36, 4
5, 1, 36, 16
6, 3, 81, ?
Here, 3rd term = (1st term + 2nd term)^2 and 4th term = (1st term - 2nd term)^2
i.e,(4+2)^2 = 36 (4-2)^2 = 4
(5+1)^2 = 36 (5-1)^2 = 16
(6+3)^2 = 81, (6-3)^2 = 9
Therefore the required term = 9 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 57) 56, 89, 33, 21, 57, 88, 35, 19, 60, 85, 30, ?
Ans : Divide the series into parts with 4 terms each :
56, 89, 33, 21
57, 88, 35, 19
60, 85, 30, ?
Now See :
56 + 1 = 57, 89 -1 = 88, 33 + 2 = 35, 21 - 2 = 19
57 + 3 = 60, 88 - 3 = 85, 35 - 5 = 30 , 19 + 5 = 24
Therefore the next term in the series is 24 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 42)1.25 9 22.5 0.75 8.5 22 0.25 8 ?
Split as 3 series
(1.25,0.75,0.25)
(9,8.5,8)
(22.5,22,?)
1.25-(0.75)=0.75
0.75-(0.50)=0.25
Next series
9-(0.5)=8.5
8.5-(0.5)=8
Final series
22.5-(0.5)=22
22-(0.5)=21.5
So ans is 21.5 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 47) 2, 3, 10, 15, 26, ?
Ans : 1^2 + 1 = 2
2^2 - 1 = 3
3^2 + 1 = 10
4^2 - 1 = 15
5^2 + 1 = 26
6^2 - 1 = 35 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)

- Q64) Actual series is 1.25 3 7.1 1.50 1 8.1 1.75 -1 9.1 2.00,...?
here three sub series
1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 ...
3 1 -1 ........
7.1 8.1 9.1 .........
so, +0.25, -2, +1 form the sub series.. then ans is -3
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 44) 7/6, 3/2, 1, 5/6, 13/6, 5/2, ?
Ans : Divide the given series into two parts with each part having 4 terms :
i.e. 7/6, 3/2, 1, 5/6
13/6, 5/2, ?, ?
Here Difference between corresponding terms is 1.
i.e. 13/6 - 7/6 = 1
5/2 - 3/2 = 1
Thus the next term is 2 so that 2 -1 = 1 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 46) 0, 1, 2, 0.5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, ?
Ans : First divide the given series as parts each with 4 terms :
i.e. 0, 1, 2, 0.5
2, 2, 2, 2
4, 3, 2, ?
Here fourth term = (first term + second term)/third term
Therefore, next term in the given series = (4+3)/2 = 3.5 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 45. 48,24,35,7,16,8,75,15,80,40...series is given wrong

- 60)5,50,10,40,15,30,20,20,?
Break it into two parts :-
5,10,15,20
50,40,30,20
You can see numbers at odd place are multiple of 5 and those on even place are being decreased by 10.
The next term in the series will have an odd place and therefore it will be a multiple of 5 i.e 25. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 43) -12,-12/-2,-15,-15/3,28,28/-2,9,9/3,-18,-18/-2

- 67) the series should be 15,14,34,32,42,39,58,54,61,?
So,15-14=1
34-32=2
42-39=3
58-54=4
61-x=5
therefore, x=56. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)

- 41) 2, 7, -35, 7, 12, -60, 5, 10, ?
Ans :
2 + 5 = 7, 7 * -5 = -35
7 + 5 = 12, 12 * -5 = -60
5 + 5 = 10, 10 * -5 = -50
Therefore the next value in the series : -50 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 58) 1/2, 5/4, 2, 11/4, 7/2, ?
Ans : Write the given series in such a way that the denominator of each term is 4 as following :
2/4, 5/4, 8/4, 11/4, 14/4
Here difference between the numerators of any two successive term is 3.
thus the next term is : 17/4 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
