Explanation:
Subtract 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 from successive numbers. So 0 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Each number is a composite number except 11.
Correct Answer: 70
Explanation:
The pattern is 1 x 3, 2 x 5, 3 x 7, 4 x 9, 5 x 11, 6 x 13, 7 x 15 etc.
So 70 is not correct.
Correct Answer: 132
Explanation:
Alternetly, we add 4 and double the next. So, 132 is wrong. It must be (68 x 2) i.e., 136.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
The number are cubes of primes i.e., 23, 33, 53, 73, 113. Clearly, none is wrong.
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
Number are alternately multiplied by 3 and divided by 2. So, next number = 54 / 2 = 27.
Correct Answer: 511
Explanation:
Each number is double the preceding one plus 1. So, the next number is (255 x 2) + 1 = 511.
Correct Answer: -1
Explanation:
There are two series, beginning respectively with 3 and 7. In one 3 is added and in another 2 is subtracted. The next number is 1 - 2 = - 1.
Correct Answer: 523
Explanation:
Each number is twice the preceding one with 1 added or subtracted alternately.
So, the next number is (2 x 261 + 1) = 523.
Correct Answer: 46
Explanation:
Go on subtracting 3 and dividing the result by 2 to obtain the next number. Clearly, 46 is wrong.
