Solution
S1. Race.
Sol. 17 + 8 = 25
8 + 25 = 33
25 + 33 = 58
33 + 58 = 91
58 + 91 = 149
So, ?=8
S2. Answer. (C)
Sol.
A series is a set of alternating prime numbers.
7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 3741, 4347, 53
S3. Answer(A)
Sol. the pattern is
0 + 8 × 1 = 8
8 + 8 × 3 = 32
32 + 8 × 5 = 72
72 + 8 × 7 = 128
128 + 8 × 9 = 200
S4. Ans. (e)
S5. Year. (D)
S6. Answer(E)
Sol.
Wrong number = 158
So instead of 158 it should be 148.
S7. year(c)
Sol.
Wrong number = 148
Chain Pattern –
122 + 16 = 138
138 – 20 = 118
118 + 24 = 142
142 – 28 = 114
114 + 32 = 146
Hence instead of 148 it should be 146.
S8. year(y)
Sol.
Wrong number = 254
Chain Pattern –
8, 9, 20, 63, 256, 1285
So 256 should come instead of 254.
S9. year(y)
Wrong number = 92
90 should come instead of 92.
S10. Answer(E)
Sol.
The wrong number is 24.
22 should come instead of 24.
S11. Answer(D)
Sol.
S12. Answer(E)
Sol.
12 × 1 + 1 = 13
13 × 2 +2 = 28
28 × 3 + 3 = 87
87 × 4 + 4 = 352
352 × 5 + 5= 1765
S13. Answer (C)
Sol.
S14. Answer(A)
Sol.
11 + 7 = 18
7 + 18 = 25
18 + 25 = 43
25 + 43 = 68
43 + 68 = 111
S15. Year
Sol.
S16. Answer(B)
Sol.
800 – 256 = 544,
544 -128 = 416,
416 – 64 = 352,
352 – 32 = 320,
320 – 16 = 304
S17. Answer(D)
S18. Answer(A)
Sol.
S19. Answer(D)
Sol.
S20. Answer (C)
Sol. is a series
×1.5, ×2, ×2.5, ×3, ×3.5, ×4
So, 315 × 4 = 1260
