 Solutions
1. => 1/8 * (512 * 1/4) + 120 = ? - 65 13. (29 + ?) ÷ 5 = 10
=> 1/8 * 128 + 120 = ? - 65 29 + ? = 50
=> 16 + 120 = ? - 65 ? = 21
=> ? = 201
14. √? + 144 − 70 = 90
2. 1440 ÷ 12 * 720 ÷ 9 = ? + 445 √? + 74 = 90
=> 120 * 40 = ? + 445 √? = 16
=> 4800 = ? + 445 ? = 256
=> ? = 4355
15. ? ÷ 100 + 1.5 = 1.75
3. => ? ÷ 4 + 20 * 3 = 105 ? = (1.75 − 1.5) × 100
=> ? ÷ 4 + 60 = 105 ? = 25
=> ? ÷ 4 = 45
=> ? = 180 16. ? = 800 + 1052 + 630
? = 2482
4. 450 ÷ 720 + 7/10 + 1/5 = ?
Hence, option b.
5/8 + 9/10 = ?
? = 61/40 17. √? - 9 + 55 ÷ 2.5 = 21
√? - 9 + 22 = 21
5. ? = (29 × 27 − 13) ÷ 35
= (783 − 13)/35 √? = 8
= 770/35 = 22 ? = 64
6. 600 ÷ 48 X ? = 100 18. = 325 - 1020 ÷ 15 = ? - 180
12.5 X ? = 100 = 325 - 68 = ? - 180
?=8 = ? = 257 + 180
Hence, option d = ? = 437
7. (900 − ?) ÷ (45 + 15) = 272 − 262 19. (124 + 216) ÷ 17 = ? ÷ 8.75
(900 − ?) ÷ 60 = 10 ? = 20 × 8.75
900 − ? = 600 ? = 175
? = 300 Hence, option b.
Hence, option (a). 20. 841 + 144 - ? = 565
8. (25 + 144 − √?) = 105 985 - ? = 565
√? = 64 ? = 985 - 565
? = 4096 ? = 420
9. 136 + (14 × 2) − 14 = ? × 5 Hence, option d.
136 + 28 − 14 = ? × 5 21. 108 + 20 = 128
136 + 14 = ? × 5 128 + 23 = 151
150 = ? × 5 151 + 26 = 177
? = 30 177 + 29 = 206
10. 375 × (24/25) = 12 × ? 206 + 32 = 238
15 × 24 = 12 × ? Hence, option (c).
360 = 12 × ?
22. The given series follows the following pattern:
? = 30
227 - (7 X 3) = 206
11. = 30 + 30 − 42 206 - (7 X 4) = 178
= 18 178 - (7 X 5) = 143
12. (4400 + ?) ÷ 60 = 75 143 - (7 X 6) = 101
4400 + ? = 4500 101 - (7 X 7) = 52
? = 100 Hence, option e.

23. 368 ÷ 2 = 184 735 − 124 = 611
184 ÷ 2 = 92 611 − 124 = 487
92 ÷ 2 = 46 487 − 124 = 363
46 ÷ 2 = 23 Hence, the missing term = 735, option (a).
23 ÷ 2 = 11.5
31. From equation I.
Hence, option (e).
=> X = -17/2, -9
24. 41 + (4 + 1) = 46 From equation II.
46 + (4 + 6) = 56 => Y = -13/2, 11
56 + (5 + 6) = 67 Hence, X < Y
67 + (6 + 7) = 80
80 + (8 + 0) = 88 32. Equation I:
So missing term = 46 x² − 2x − 63 = 0
Hence, option (d). x² + 7x − 9x − 63 = 0
(x − 9)(x + 7) = 0
25. 71 + 10 = 81
81 − 20 = 61 x = 9 or −7
61 + 40 = 101 Equation II:
101 − 80 = 21 y² + 11y − 152 = 0
21 + 160 = 181 y² + 19y − 8y − 152 = 0
Hence, option (b) (y − 8)(y + 19) = 0
26. 2×3 = 6 y = 8 or −19
4×5 = 20 x = y or relationship cannot be established,
6×7 = 42 option (a).
8×9 = 72 33. Equation I:
10×11 = 110 13x² − 18x + 5 = 0
12×13 = 156 13x² − 13x − 5x + 5 = 0
Hence, option (a). (13x − 5)(x − 1) = 0
27. 32 × 0.5 = 16 x = 5/13, 1
16 × 1 = 16 Equation II:
16 × 2 = 32 y = 6, 3
32 × 4 = 128 All cases show: x < y
128 × 8 = 1024 Hence, option (b).
Hence, option (a).
34. Equation I:
28. 48 × 1/2 = 24 3x² + 14x + 16 = 0
24 × 3 = 72 (3x + 8)(x + 2) = 0
72 × 1/4 = 18 x = −8/3, −2
18 × 5 = 90 Equation II:
90 × 1/6 = 15
3y² + 22y + 24 = 0
Hence, option (b).
(3y + 4)(y + 6) = 0
29. 5 × 3 − 2 = 13 y = −4/3, −6
13 × 3 − 2 = 37 Cannot be established.
37 × 3 − 2 = 109 Hence, option (e).
109 × 3 − 2 = 325
325 × 3 − 2 = 973 35. Equation I:
Hence, option (b). x = −10, −4
Equation II:
30. Pattern: Subtracting 124 repeatedly
y = 11, 13
983 − 124 = 859
Hence, option (b).
859 − 124 = 735

9
36. Equation I: 114 + 9 = 123
(3x − 4)(3x − 1) = 0 123 + 12 = 135 (NOT 136)
x = 4/3 , 1/3 135 + 15 = 150
Equation II: 150 + 18 = 168
(y + 2)(7y + 4) = 0 So 136 is incorrect; correct term should be 135.
y = −2 , −4/7 Hence incorrect term = 136
Comparison table: So answer = (e).
All cases → x > y 42. Logic for the given series:
Hence, option (b). 12 + 5.1 x 1 = 17.1
37. Equation I: 17.1 + 5.1 x 2 = 27.3
x = ±7 27.3 + 5.1 x 3 = 42.6
Equation II: 42.6 + 5.1 x 4 = 63
2y² + 13y + 21 = 0 63 + 5.1 x 5 = 88.5
(2y + 7)(y + 3) = 0 So, wrong number = 41.8
y = −3.5 or −3 43.
38. From I: 627 627
𝟐𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟑𝒙 − 𝟕 = 𝟎 627 + 31 = 658 658
𝟐𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟒𝒙 + 𝒙 − 𝟕 = 𝟎 658 – 29 = 629 ≠ 625 625
𝟐𝒙(𝒙 − 𝟕) + 𝟏(𝒙 − 𝟕) = 𝟎 629 + 23 = 652 652
(𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏)(𝒙 − 𝟕) = 𝟎 652 – 19 = 633 633
𝒙 = −𝟐,𝟕
𝟏 633 + 17 = 650 650
There should be 629 in place of 625.
From II:
Hence, option D is correct.
𝟑𝒚𝟐 + 𝟏𝟕𝒚 + 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟎
𝟑𝒚𝟐 + 𝟏𝟓𝒚 + 𝟐𝒚 + 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟎 44. 800 - 100 = 700
𝟑𝒚(𝒚 + 𝟓) + 𝟐(𝒚 + 𝟓) = 𝟎 700 - 81 = 619
(𝟑𝒚 + 𝟐)(𝒚 + 𝟓) = 𝟎 619 - 64 = 555
Hence, 𝒙 > 𝒚. 555 - 49 = 506
506 - 36= 470
39. From I: 470 -25 = 445
𝟓𝒙𝟐 − 𝟐𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐𝟏 = 𝟎 Therefore, 619 should come in place of 609.
𝟓𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟓𝒙 − 𝟕𝒙 + 𝟐𝟏 = 𝟎 Hence, option b.
𝟓𝒙(𝒙 − 𝟑) − 𝟕(𝒙 − 𝟑) = 𝟎
45. Logic for the given series-
(𝟓𝒙 − 𝟕)(𝒙 − 𝟑) = 𝟎
𝟕 360 + 7 = 367
𝒙 = 𝟓,𝟑 367 + 14 = 381
From II: y = 9, 7 381 + 21 = 402 (not 413)
40. From I: 402 + 28 = 430
𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 − 𝟏𝟑𝟐 = 𝟎 430 + 35 = 465
𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏𝟐𝒙 − 𝟏𝟏𝒙 − 𝟏𝟑𝟐 = 𝟎 Hence, wrong term = 413
(𝒙 + 𝟏𝟐)(𝒙 − 𝟏𝟏) = 𝟎 46. Ans. (e)
𝒙 = −𝟏𝟐, 𝟏𝟏 21 + 1 = 22
From II: y = 14, 14 22 + 4 = 26
26 + 9 = 35
41. Pattern: +3, +6, +9, +12, +15, +18
35 + 16 = 51
105 + 3 = 108
51 + 25 = 76
108 + 6 = 114

10
47. 49. The pattern is as follows:
58 58 2 + (52 - 1) = 26
58 × 3 = 174 174 26 + (62 - 1) = 61
174 – 3 = 171 171 61 + (72 - 1) = 109
171 × 3 = 513 513 109 + (82 - 1) = 172
513 – 3 = 510 ≠ 512 512 172 + (92 - 1) = 252
510 × 3 = 1530 1530 50. Ans. (c)
There should be 510 in place of 512. 233 +11 = 244
Hence, option B is correct. 244 + 13 = 257
48. Pattern: subtracting decreasing odd numbers: 257 + 17= 274
420 − 99 = 321 (NOT 319) 274 + 19 = 293
321 − 89 = 232 293 +23 = 316
232 − 79 = 153
153 − 69 = 84
84 − 59 = 25
So incorrect term = 319
Hence, option (a).
