- Question
Find the next two numbers in the sequence 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, ?, ?
Options- A. 36 & 90
- B. 90 & 41
- C. 45 & 36
- D. 41 & 36
- Correct Answer
- 36 & 90
Explanationthe next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series
First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ??
Second Series : 12,18,26, ??
So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :
- Pattern of Series 1 :
6 divide 4 : 1.5
Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2
Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5
So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on
So first series will look like
4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90
- Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??
Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12)
Series will be like 12,18,26,36.
For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Correct Answer: 256 & 3125
Explanation:
The above given sequence follows a pattern that,
Therefore, the next two numbers in the given sequence is 256 & 3125.
Correct Answer: 91.12
Explanation:
Given number series is 12 9 13.5 30.3 ? 341.7
Here the pattern followed by the series is
12
12 x 0.75 = 9
9 x 1.5 = 13.5
13.5 x 2.25 = 30.3
30.37 x 3 = 91.12
91.12 x 3.75 = 341.71
Hence, the missing number in the sequence is 91.12.
Correct Answer: 67
Explanation:
Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168
It follows a pattern that
3
3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14
14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36
36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69
69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113
113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168
Hence, the wrong number is 67.
Correct Answer: 29
Explanation:
The Given number series 3, 6.5, 14, 29, 64, 136 follows a pattern that
3
3 x 2 + 0.5 = 6.5
6.5 x 2 + 1 = 14
14 x 2 + 2 = 30 29
30 x 2 + 4 = 64
64 x 2 + 8 = 136
Thus the wrong number in the series is 29
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
Here in the given series, it follows a pattern that
77 + 2 = 79
79 - 3 = 76
76 + 5 = 81
81 - 7 = 74
74 + 11 = 85
Consecutive adding and subtracting of prime numbers.
So the wrong number in the given series is 75.
Correct Answer: 21, 15, 23
Explanation:
Given number series is 9 17 11 19 13
Here the pattern is
Correct Answer: 165
Explanation:
The given series follow the rule that :
Multiplying consecutive prime numbers
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19....
2x3 = 6
3x5 = 15
5x7 = 35
7x11 = 77
11x13 = 143
13x17 = 221
So, the wrong term is 165.
Correct Answer: 80
Explanation:
There should be 90 instead of 80
so we can have a series
5, 5x3, 15x2, 30x3, 90x2, 180x3, 540x2 and 1080x3 and so on...
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Given number series follows a pattern that,
2
2 x 1.5 + 1 = 4
4 x 1.5 + 1 = 7 (not equal to 8)
7 x 1.5 + 1 = 11.5
11.5 x 1.5 + 1 = 18.25
18.25 x 1.5 + 1 = 28.375
Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 8.
Correct Answer: 392
Explanation:
The given number series 11, 13, 30, 96, ? follows a pattern that,
11
11 x 1 + 2 = 13
13 x 2 + 4 = 30
30 x 3 + 6 = 96
96 x 4 + 8 = 392
Hence, the next number in the given series is 392.
