D) 648
E) 743

Solution With Answer Key:

1). B)
The series is +33 , +32, +23, +22, +13, +12, …..
125 + (3)3 = 152 ; 152 + (3)2 = 161 ; 161 + (2)3 = 169; 169 + (2)2 = 173
173 + (1)3 = 174; 174 + (1)2 = 175

2). C)
The series is x2, x3, x4, x5, x6,….
27 × 2 = 54; 54×3 = 162; 162 × 4 = 648; 648 × 5 = 3240
3240 × 6 = 19440

3). C)
The series is x2 — 21, x2 — 22, x2 - 23, x2 - 24, ...
ie 161 x 2 — 2 = 320,
320 x 2 — 22 = 636,
636 x 2 — 23 = 1264,
1264 x 2 — 24 = 2512,
2512 x 2 — 25 = 4992,

4). B)
The series is 632 + 63 = 4032,
652 + 65 = 4290, 672 + 67 = 4556,

692 + 69 = 4830, 712 + 71 = 5112,

732 + 73 = 5402, ...

5). E)
The series is
16 x 4 + 8 = 72
72 x 4 + 8 = 296
296 x 4 + 8 = 1192
1192 x 4 + 8 = 4776
4776 x 4 + 8 19112

6). B)
The series is —(5)2, +(7)2 - (9)2, +(11)2, —(13)2….
ie 584 — 52 = 559,
559 + 72 = 608,
608 - 92 = 527,
527 + 112 = 648,
648 — 132 = 479,

7). D)
The series is
36 x 2.5 = 90
90 x3.5 = 315
315 x4.5 = 1417.5
1417.5 x5.5 = 7796.25
7796.25 x6.5 = 5.675.625

8). A)
The series is x1 + 12, x2 + 22, x3 + 32, x4 + 42,
je 28 x 1 + 12= 29,
29 x 2 + 22 = 62,
62 x 3 + 32 = 195,
195 x 4 + 42 = 796,
796 x 5 + 52 = 4005,

9). C)
The series is x2 + 10, x2 — 10, x2 + 10, x2 - 10, ...(repeated alternately)
ie 15 x 2 + 10 = 40,
40 x 2 — 10 = 70,
70 x 2 + 10 = 150,
150 x 2 — 10 = 290,
290 x 2 + 10 = 590,

10). E)
The series is 205 + (28)2 = 989,
989 - (25)2 = 364,
364 +(22)2 = 848.
848 — (19)2 = 487,

 500 Most Important Number Series Questions

Solution:

161). The series is -(13 + 1), +(23 + 1), -(33 + 1), +(43 + 1), -(53 + 1), …...
ie 264 – (13 + 1) = 262, 264 + (23 + 1) = 271
271 – (33 + 1) = 243, 243 + (43 + 1) = 308
308 – (53 + 1) = 182
Answer: E)

162). The series is ×1 + 1, ×2 + 2, ×3 + 3, ×4 + 4, ×5 + 5, ….

ie 1.5 ×1 + 1 = 2.5, 2.5 × 2 + 2 = 7,
7 × 3 + 3 = 24, 24 × 4 + 4 = 100,
100 × 5 + 5 = 505
Answer: E)

163). The series is +7, +14, +28, +56, +112,

ie 71 + 7 = 78, 78 + 14 = 92, 92 + 28 = 120,
120 + 56 = 176, 176 + 112 = 288,
Answer: B)

164). The series is ×0.5 + 0.5, ×1 + 1, ×1.5 + 1, ×2 + 2, ×2.5 + 2.5, …

ie 17 × 0.5 + 0.5 = 9, 9 × 1 + 1 = 10,
10 × 1.5 + 1.5 = 16.5, 16.5 × 2 + 2 = 35,
35 × 2.5 + 2.5 =90, …
Answer: D)

165). The series is /2 – 0.5, /2 -0.5, (repeateD)

ie 79 / 2 – 0.5 = 39, 39 / 2 – 0.5 = 19,
19 / 2 – 0.5 = 9, 9 / 2 – 0.5 = 4, 4 / 2 - 0.5 = 1.5, …

ie 27 × 0.5 – 0.5 = 13, 13 × 1 – 1 = 12, 12 × 1.5 – 1.5 = 16 . 5,
16.5 × 2 – 2 = 31, 31 × 2.5 – 2.5 = 75,
Answer: A)

168). The series is × 1 + 2, ×2 + 4, ×3 + 6, × 4 + 8, × 5 + 10,

ie 17 × 1 + 2 = 19, 19 × 2 + 4 = 42, 42 × 3 + 6 = 132,

316). The common differences between the consecutive terms of the series are 6, 9, 12, 15, etc.
Answer: D)
317). The series is 13, 22, 33, 42, 53, 62, 73.
Answer: D)
318). The pattern is +5, –2, +5, –2, .....
So, missing term = 36 –2 = 34.
Answer: B)
319). Each number of the series is 15 multiplied by a prime number
i.e. 15 × 11, 15 × 13, 15 × 17, 15 × 19, 15 × 23, .....
So, missing term = 15 × 29 = 435.
Answer: D)
320). The pattern is + 4, +9, + 16, + 25, + 36, ..... i.e. + 2 2, + 32, + 42, + 52, + 62, .....
So missing term = 91 + 72 = 91 + 49 = 140.
Answer: B)

alternated with the subtraction of 3.

328) Option E
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series, which subtracts 5, then 2, then 5, and so
on.

329) Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 35, interpolated as
every third number. The pattern of addition is to add 2, add 5, add 2, and so on. The number 35
comes after each "add 2" step.

330) Option B
Explanation: Here, there are two alternating patterns, with every other number following a
different pattern. The first pattern begins with 13 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the
next; the alternating pattern begins with 29 and subtracts 3 each time.

331) Option B
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.

332)OptionA
Explanation: This is an alternating repetition series. The number 32 alternates with a series in
which each number decreases by 2.

333) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple subtraction series in which a random number, 93, is interpolated as
every third number. In the subtraction series, 10 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the
next.

334) Option D
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.

Explanation: This series alternates the addition of 4 with the subtraction of 3.

336) Option C
Explanation: The letters decrease by 1; the numbers are multiplied by 2.

337) Option D
Explanation: This is an alternating division and addition series: First, divide by 2, and then add 8.

338) Option A
Explanation: In this series, 5 is added to the previous number; the number 70 is inserted as every
third number.

339) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. The first series begins
with 8 and adds 3; the second begins with 43 and subtracts 2.

391) The series follows the pattern

28+13*(1)2= 41, 41+11*(2)3 = 129, 129 + 7*(3)4 = 696, 696 + 5*(4)5 = 5816
Hence, option c

392) The series follows the pattern

142 – 1 = 195, 132 – 2 = 167, 122 – 3 = 141, 112 – 4 = 117, 102 – 5 = 95, 92 – 6 = 75
82 – 7 = 57
Hence, option b

393) The series follows the pattern

5! – (1+2+3) = 114, 4! + (4+5+6) = 39, 3! – (7+8+9) = -18, 2! + (10+11+12) = 35, 1! –
(13+14+15) = -41
Hence, option b.

394) The series follows the pattern

343 = 73, 441 = (7*3)2, 512 = 83, 576 = (8*3)2, 729 = 93, 729 = (9*3)2, 1000 = 103
Hence, option c.

395) The series follows the pattern

-20 + 22 = -16, -16 + 32 = -7, -7 + 52 =18, 18 + 72 = 18 + 49 = 67, 67 + 112 = 67 + 121 = 188, 188
+132 = 188 +169 = 357
Hence, option c

396) 0 = 13-1,
10 = 23+2,
24 = 33– 3
and so on
So missing no. will be 53-5 = 120

 500 Most Important Number Series Questions

SOLUTION:
431) Ans.(C)
Sol. The given number series is based on the following pattern :
13 × 1 + 1 = 14
14 × 2 + 2 = 30
30 × 3 + 3 = 93
93 × 4 + 4 = 376
376 × 5 + 5 = 1885
? = 1885 × 6 + 6 = 11316
Hence, number 11316 will replace the question mark.

432) Ans.(B) )
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern :×1.5,×1.5,……..

433) Ans.(D)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.6,×0.6……..

434) Ans.(A)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.5,×1,×1.5,×2,×2.5…….

435) Ans.(E)
Sol.
705 + 1 × 23 = 728
728 + 2 × 23 = 774
774 + 3 × 23 = 843
843 + 4 × 23 = 935
935 + 5 × 23 = 1050
? = 1050 + 6 × 23 = 1050 + 138 = 1188

436) Explanation:
2916 ÷ 3 = 972
972 ÷ 3 = 324
324 ÷ 3 = 108
108 ÷ 3 = 36

 500 Most Important Number Series Questions

36 ÷ 3 = 12

437) Explanation:
The pattern of the given series is:
⇒ Cube of prime numbers: ⇒
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27
5^3 = 125
7^3 = 343
11^3 = 1331

438)Here, two alternate series are going together with the pattern given below
7=3×2+1
45 = 22 × 2 + 1
15 = 7 × 2 + 1
31 = 15 × 2 + 1
∴The number in the place of question mark = 45 × 2 + 1 = 91

439)We have the terms of the given series formed as

15 = 5 × 3
? = 15 + 2 = 17
51 = 17 × 3
53 = 51 + 2
159 = 53 × 3
161 = 159 + 2

440)
Explanation:
5963 – 3^2 = 5954
5954 – 4^2 = 5938
5938 – 5^2 = 5913
5913 – 6^2 = 5877
5877 – 7^2 = 5828
