The pattern is x 2, x 3/2, x 2, x 3/2, x 2,.....So, missing term = 18 x 3/2 = 27.
- 5. 1, 1, 4, 8, 9, 27, 16,?
Options- A. 32
- B. 64
- C. 81
- D. 256 Discuss
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
The series consists of squares and cubes of consecutive natural numbers i.e. 12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33, 42, .....So, missing term = 43 = 64.
- 6. 198, 194, 185, 169,?
Options- A. 92
- B. 112
- C. 136
- D. 144 Discuss
Correct Answer: 144
Explanation:
The pattern is - 4, - 9, - 16,.....i.e. - 22, - 32, - 42,.....So, missing pattern = 169 - 52 = 169 - 25 = 144.
- 7. 2, 3, 5,7,11,?, 17
Options- A. 12
- B. 13

- B. 38
- C. 40

Correct Answer: 33
Explanation:
The pattern is + 6, + 9, + 12, + 15, .....So, missing term = 21 + 12 = 33.
- 9. Which term of the series 5, 10, 20, 40, ..... is 1280?
Options- A. 10th
- B. 9th
- C. 8th
- D. None of these Discuss
Correct Answer: 9th
Explanation:
Clearly, 5 x 2 = 10, 10 x 2 = 20, 20 x 2 = 40,.....So, the series is a G.P. in which a = 5 and r = 2.
Let 1280 be the rath term of the series.
Then, 5x2n-1 = 1280 ⟺ 2n-1 = 256 = 28 ⟺ n - 1 = 8 ⟺ n = 9.
- 10. 2, 5, 9,?, 20, 27
