C
27
D
63
E
127
Correct Answer: Option C

Go on multiplying the number by 2 and adding 1 to it to get the next number.

So, 27 is wrong.

Question 2
64, 71, 80, 91, 104, 119, 135, 155

A
71
B
80
C
104
D
119
E
135
Correct Answer: Option E

Go on adding 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 respectively to obtain the next number.

So, 135 is wrong.

Question 3
190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91

A
100
B
166
C
145
D
128
E
112
Correct Answer: Option D

Go on subtracting 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 from the numbers to get the next number.

190 - 24 = 166
166 - 21 = 145
145 - 18 = 127 [ Here, 128 is placed instead of 127 ]
127 - 15 = 112
112 - 12 = 100 ... and so on.

Therefore, 128 is wrong.

A
8
B
18
C
57
D
228
E
1165
Correct Answer: Option D

Let the given numbers be A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

Then, A, A x 1 + 1, B x 2 + 2, C x 3 + 3, D x 4 + 4, E x 5 + 5, F x 6 + 6 are the required numbers.

Clearly, 228 is wrong.

Question 5

Go on multiplying 2 and adding 1 to get the next number.

So, 39 is wrong.

Question 7
6, 12, 48, 100, 384, 768, 3072

A
768
B
384
C
100
D
48
E
12
Correct Answer: Option C

Each even term of the series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2.

2nd term = (1st term) x 2 = 6 x 2 = 12

4th term = (3rd term) x 2 = 48 x 2 = 96.

6th term = (5th term) x 2 = 384 x 2 =768.

Therefore 4th term should be 96 instead of 100.

Question 8
40960, 10240, 2560, 640, 200, 40, 10

A
640
B
40
C
200
D
2560
E
10240
Correct Answer: Option C

Go on dividing by 4 to get the next number.

So, 200 is wrong.

Question 9
1, 3, 10, 21, 64, 129, 356, 777

A
10
B
21
C
64
D
129
E
356
Correct Answer: Option E

A x 2 + 1, B x 3 + 1, C x 2 + 1, D x 3 + 1 and so on.

So, 356 is wrong.

Question 10
10, 26, 74, 218, 654, 1946, 5834

A
26
B
74
C
218
D
654
E
1946
Correct Answer: Option D

2nd term = (1st term) x 3 - 4 = 10 x 3 - 4 = 26.

3rd term = (2nd term) x 3 - 4 = 26 x 3 - 4 = 74.

4th term = (3th term) x 3 - 4 = 74 x 3 - 4 = 218.

5th term = (4th term) x 3 - 4 = 218 x 3 - 4 = 650.

5th term must be 650 instead of 654.
