- 1)1 ,3 ,1 ,2.5 ,5 ,1 ,4 ,5 ,4 ,8 ,7, x
1 + 3 + 1 = 5 => 5/2 = 2.5
5 + 1 + 4 = 10 => 10/2 = 5
4 + 8 + 7 = 19 => 19/2 = 9.5
Ans : 9.5
3)11 ,8 ,17 ,14 ,23 ,24 ,31 ,32
Alternate prime nos - 5
11
13 - 5 = 8
17
19 - 5 = 14
23
29 - 5 = 24
31
37 - 5 = 32
41 [Next prime no. after 37 is 41]
Ans : 41
4) (5, 1, 2, 8), (8, 1, 0, 9), (9, 2, 3, x)
5 + 1 + 2 = 8
8 + 1 + 0 = 9
9 + 2 + 3 = 14
Ans : 14
5) 5, 1, 2, 8, 1, 0, 9, 2, 3, 14, 1, 3, x
5 + 1 + 2 = 8
8 + 1 + 0 = 9
9 + 2 + 3 = 14
14 + 1 + 3 = 18
Ans : 18
6) (6, 3, 3, 9), (12, 5, 7, 35), (8, 6, 2, x)
6 - 3 = 3
3 * 3 = 9
12 - 5 = 7
7 * 5 = 35
8 - 6 = 2
2 * 6 = 12
Ans : 12
7) (4, 2, 5), (9, 5, 11), (13, 7, 16), (17, 9, x)
Here difference between 1st nd 3rd no. increases by 1
5 - 4 = 1
11 - 9 = 2
16 - 13 = 3
x - 17 = 4
x = 21
Ans : 21
8) 0, 8, 12, 26, 23, x
Addition of alternate nos is 35..
0 + 12 + 23 = 35
Similarly 8 + 26 + x = 35
x = 1
Ans : 1
9) Wrong series.It should be (18, 24, 5), (21, 27, 8), (17, 23, 4),(24, 30, x)
18 + 6 = 24
24 - 19 = 5
21 + 6 = 27
27 - 19 = 8
17 + 6 = 23
23 - 19 = 4
24 + 6 = 30
30 - 19 = 11

--------------------------------------
6)12
In groups of four
=> (6,3,3,9),(12,5,7,35),(8,6,2,12)
In each braces,
first term=sum of middle two.
Last term =product of middle two.
-------------------------------------
4) 14
Grouping in fours
=> (5,1,2,8),(8,1,0,9),(9,2,3,14)
Last term of each group = 1st term in next group
Last term = sum of first three
So next term = (9+2+3)=14

- excuse me everyone.. please see my logic for 7th question and tel what is wrong in my view.
Divide the given series into 3 blocks:
(4,2,5,9), (5,11,13,7), (16,17,9,?)
now (4,2,5,9)= 5+4-2=9;
(5,11,13,7)13+5-11=7
similarly : (16,17,9,?) 16+9-17= 8

- 2) series no 2 is incomplete...
it should be 41.45,41.50,42,18.23,18.2,18,73.09
so ans is .... 41.45 round off 41.5
41.5 round off 42
18.23 round off 18.2
18.2 round off 18
73.09 round off 73.1
so ans is 73.1 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
