10, 18, 28, 40, 54, 70,?

Each term in the series, except the first two terms, is 2 more than the sum of the preceding two terms.

So, missing term = (42 + 70) + 2 = 114.

The pattern followed is : nth term + (n + l)th term + (n + 1) = (n + 2)th term.

Thus, 1st term + 2nd term + 2 = 3rd term; 2nd term + 3rd term + 3 = 4th term and so on.

So, missing term = 6th term = 4th term + 5th term + 5 = 24 + 41 + 5 = 70.

The given sequence is a combination of two series:

I. 45, 47, 49, 51, 53 and II. 54, ?, 56, 57

Clearly, II consists of consecutive natural numbers, starting from 54.

So, missing term = 55.

The pattern is ÷ 6, ÷ 5, ÷ 4, ÷ 3, ÷ 2.

So, missing term = 960 - 5 = 192.

The pattern is + 3, + 5, + 7, + 9, .....

So, missing term = 28 + 11 = 39.

The pattern is x 3 + 4, x 4 + 4, x 5 + 4,.....

So, missing term = 584 x 6 + 4 = 3508.

Each term in the series is obtained by adding 22 to the preceding term.

So, 186 is wrong and must be replaced by (165 + 22) i.e. 187.

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.

The correct pattern is + 5, + 8, + 11, + 14,.....

So, 47 is wrong and must be replaced by (32 + 14) i.e. 46.

Each term of the series is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by 2.

So, 96 is wrong and must be replaced by (64 x 2) i.e. 128.
