This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 21, interpolated as every third number. The addition series alternates between adding 3 and adding 4. The number 21 appears after each number arrived at by adding 3.

Question 16
17 17 34 20 20 31 23

A
26 23
B
34 20
C
23 33
D
27 28
E
23 28
Correct Answer: Option E

This is an alternating subtraction series with repetition. There are two different patterns here. In the first, a number repeats itself; then 3 is added to that number to arrive at the next number, which also repeats. This gives the series 17, 17, 20, 20, 23, and so on. Every third number follows a second pattern, in which 3 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next: 34, 31, 28.

Question 17
75 65 85 55 45 85 35

A
25 15
B
25 85
C
35 25
D
85 35
E
25 75
Correct Answer: Option B

This is a simple subtraction series in which a random number, 85, is interpolated as every third number. In the subtraction series, 10 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next.

Question 18
2 3 4 5 6 4 8

A
9 10
B
4 8
C
10 4
D

E
8 9
Correct Answer: Option D

This is an alternating addition series with a random number, 4, interpolated as every third number. In the main series, 1 is added, then 2 is added, then 1, then 2, and so on.

Question 19
21 25 18 29 33 18

A
43 18
B
41 44
C
37 18
D
37 41
E
38 41
Correct Answer: Option D

This is a simple addition series with a random number, 18, interpolated as every third number. In the series, 4 is added to each number except 18, to arrive at the next number.

Question 20
6 20 8 14 10 8 12

A
14 10
B
2 18
C
4 12
D
2 14
E
14 14
