Correct Answer: 328
Explanation:
2.5 × 1 + 1 = 3.5
3.5 × 2 + 2 = 9
9 × 4 + 4 = 40
40 × 8 + 8 = 328
Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
The given number series is 8, 16, 20, 36, 68
8
8 x 2 - 4 = 12 (NOT 16)
12 x 2 - 4 = 20
20 x 2 - 4 = 36
36 x 2 - 4 = 68
Hence, the odd man in the given series is 16.
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
In the given series numbers are arranged following the rule,
Therefore, the missing number is 27.
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Terms at odd places are 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. and each term at even place is 16.
So, 9 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 165
Explanation:
From the beginning, the next term comes by adding prime numbers in a sequence of 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... to its previous term. But 165 will not be in the series as it must be replaced by 166 since 153+13 = 166.
Correct Answer: 69
Explanation:
The given number series is 152, 124, 96, 69, 40
152
152 - 28 = 124
124 - 28 = 96
96 - 28 = 68 (not 69)
68 - 28 = 40
Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 69.
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
In the given series 1 4 9 16 22 36
1 = 1 x 1
4 = 2 x 2
9 = 3 x 3
16 = 4 x 4
25 = 5 x 5 (Not 22)
36 = 6 x 6
Hence, the odd man in the series is 22.
Correct Answer: 554
Explanation:
The given number series follows a pattern that
5 x 5 ? 1 = 24
24 x 4 ? 2 = 94
94 x 3 ? 3 = 279
279 x 2 ? 4 = 554
Correct Answer: 121
Explanation:
343 = , 1331 = , 2197 = , 121 =
343, 1331, 2197 are perfect cubes, but not 121.
Correct Answer: 165
Explanation:
The terms of the series are products of two consecutive prime numbers i.e.
(2 x 3), (3 x 5), (5 x 7), (7 x 11),.....
So, 165 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 x 13) i.e. 143.
