Correct Answer: 324
Explanation:
The Sum of the digits in each number, Except 324 is 10.
Correct Answer: 634
Explanation:
Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms. So, 634 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 383
Explanation:
In each number except 383, the product of first and third digits is the middle one.
Correct Answer: 91
Explanation:
1, 1 + 12 = 2, 2 + 22 = 6, 6 + 32 = 15, 15 + 42 = 31, 31 + 52 = 56, 56 + 62 = 92
Last number of given series must be 92 not 91.
Correct Answer: 72
Explanation:
The pattern is 1 x 2, 2 x 3, 3 x 4, 4 x 5, 5 x 6, 6 x 7, 7 x 8.
So, the next number is 8 x 9 = 72.
Correct Answer: 34
Explanation:
Subtract 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 from successive numbers.
So, 34 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 228
Explanation:
Let the given numbers be A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Then, A, A x 1 + 1, B x 2 + 2, C x 3 + 3, D x 4 + 4, E x 5 + 5, F x 6 + 6 are the required numbers.
Clearly, 228 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
The differences between two successive terms from the beginning are 7, 5, 7, 5, 7, 5.
So, 40 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 2Y4
Explanation:
The digits on either side of the letter in each of the groups 1P6, 2T0, and 1R8 indicate the place value of the letter in the alphabet.
This pattern is not followed by 2Y4.
Correct Answer: 523
Explanation:
Each number is twice the preceding one with 1 added or subtracted alternatively.
So, the next number is (2 x 261 + 1) = 523.
