SSC CGL Tier1 General Intelligence And Reasoning Arithmetic Number Series Test 2

4469.120, 99, 80, 63, 48, ?
35
38
39
40
Explanation:
The pattern is – 21, – 19, – 17, – 15,…..So, missing term = 48 – 13 = 35.
4470.589654237, 89654237, 8965423, 965423, ?
58965
65423
89654
96542
Explanation:
The digits are removed one by one from the beginning and the end in order alternatelyso as to obtain the subsequent terms of the series.
4471.3, 10, 101,?
10101
10201
10202
11012
Explanation:
Each term in the series is obtained by adding 1 to the square of the preceding term.So, missing term = (101)2 + 1 = 10202.
4472.In the series 2, 6, 18, 54, …… what will be the 8th term ?
4370
4374
7443
7434
Explanation:
Clearly, 2 x 3 = 6, 6 x 3 = 18, 18 x 3 = 54,…..So, the series is a G.P. in which a = 2, r = 3.Therefore 8th term = ar8-1 = ar7 = 2 x 37 = (2 x 2187) = 4374.
4473.125,80,45,20,?
5
8
10
12
Explanation:
The pattern is – 45, – 35, – 25, …..So, missing term = 20 – 15 = 5.
4474.1, 1, 4, 8, 9, 27, 16, ?
32
64
81
256
Explanation:
The series consists of squares and cubes of consecutive natural numbers i.e. 12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33, 42, …..So, missing term = 43 = 64.
4475.1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, ?, 54
18
27
36
81
Explanation:
The pattern is x 2, x 3/2, x 2, x 3/2, x 2,…..So, missing term = 18 x 3/2 = 27.
4476.6, 13, 25, 51, 101, ?
201
202
203
205
Explanation:
The pattern is x 2 + 1, x 2 – 1, x 2 + 1, x 2 – 1,…..So, missing term = 101 x 2 + 1 = 203.
4477.5,6,9, 15, ?, 40
21
25
27
33
Explanation:
The pattern is + 1, + 3, + 6,….., i.e. + 1, + (1, + 2), + (1 + 2 + 3),…..So, missing term = 15 + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 25.
4478.1, 3, 4, 8, 15, 27, ?
37
44
50
55
Explanation:
The sum of any three consecutive terms of the series gives the next term.So, missing number = 8 + 15 + 27 = 50.
