2. Option: A
Explanation: This is a simple subtraction
series. Each number is 4 less than the
previous number
So next number is 24
3. Option: D
Explanation: The pattern is
+3,+4,+3,+4,+3
So next number is 20

NUMBER SERIES
4. Which of the following will not be a
number of the series 0, 15, 80, 255
A) 625
B) 1295
C) 2400
D) 4095
5. Identify the wrong number in the series 5,
13,26,41,61
A) 13
B) 26
C)41
D)61
I.Answers:
1. Option: B
Explanation: The given series follows
12+1, 22+1,32+1,42+1,52+1,62+1
So the next number is 37

4. Option: B
Explanation: This is an alternating
subtraction and addition series
In this first pattern 20 is subtracted from
each number to arrive at the next
In the second, 10 is added to each number
to arrive at the next.
5. Option: C
Explanation: The pattern is -0.4,-0.2,-0.
4,-0.2,
so the next number is 1.6
II.Answers:

1. Option A
Explanation: The pattern is
+4,,+8,+12,+16,
So missing number is 31
2.Option: B
Explanation: The pattern is 13+1, 23+1,
33+1, 43+1
Missing term is 28
3. Option D
Explanation: The digits are removed one
by one from ending and begin in order
alternately, so as we obtain the subsequent
terms of the series
4. Option: A
Explanation: The pattern is 14-1, 24-1, 341, 44-1, 54-1
So 623 is not be a number of the series
5. Option: B
Explanation: Clearly the series pattern is
12+22, 22+32, 32+42,
42+52, 52+62
So 26 is wrong
number
