(Q1-Q5) What will come in place of the blank (__) in each of the following series?
Q1. 2, 5, 9, 19, 37, __
OPTIONS
A. 73
B. 74
C. 75
D. 76
E. 77
ANS: C. 75
SOLUTION:
2*2+5=9
5*2+9=19
9*2+19=37
19*2+37=75
Therefore with this logic, the answer is 75.
Q2. 32, 40, 24, 16, 24, __
OPTIONS
A. 12
B. 18
C. 8
D. 32
E. 64
ANS: C. 8
SOLUTION:
As the 3rd number is less then 2nd,
Let's assume a numbers needs to be substracted or divided
Now, lets apply a logic,
32+8=40
32-8=24
Now lets apply the same logic again,
16+8=24
16-8=8
Therefore the ans is 8
Q3. 6, 7, 11, 20, 36, __
OPTIONS:
A. 66
B. 61
C. 68
D. 62
E. 64
ANS: B. 61
SOLUTION:
We can see,
7-6= 1 =1*1
11-7= 4 =2*2
20-11= 9 =3*3
36-20= 16 =4*4
Now lets apply the same logic again we get,
36+(5*5)=61
Therefore the ANS is 61
Q4. 7, 8, 18, 57, __, 1165
[SBI-PO 2017]
OPTIONS:
A. 212
B. 217
C. 232
D. 247
E. 275
ANS: C. 232
SOLUTION:
7x1+1=8
8x2+2=18
18x3+3=57
57x4+4=232
232x5+5=1165
Therefore the ANS is 232
Q5. 77, 85, 69, 101, 37, __
[SBI-PO 2017]
OPTIONS:
A. 105
B. 125
C. 145
D. 165
E. 185
ANS: D. 165
SOLUTION:
77+(8x1)=85
85-(8x2)=69
69+(8x4)=101
101-(8x8)=37
27+(8x16)=165
Therefore the ANS is 165
(Q6-Q10) A number in the series is wrong. Find the wrong number.
Q6. 59, 60 ,61 ,64 ,79 ,185 ,1129
[SBI-PO 2018]
OPTIONS:
A. 185
B. 61
C. 60
D. 1129
E. 79
ANS: A. 185
SOLUTION:
The differences of the series is 1,3,15,106…
This can be formed on the basis like
1×1,1×3,3×5,15×7..so on
Hence the wrong no. is 185
Q7. 291, 147, 75, 39, 22, 12, 7.5
[SBI-PO 2018]
OPTIONS:
A. 39
B. 147
C. 22
D. 7.5
E. 291
ANS: C. 22
SOLUTION:
The series is
291−147=144
147−75=72
75−39=36
39−22=17 but this difference will be 18
So the wrong no. is 22
Q8. 3, 9, 19, 32, 51
OPTIONS:
A. 3
B. 9
C. 19
D. 32
E. 51
ANS: D. 32

The series is
2x1+1=3
2x4+1=9
2x9+1=19
2x16+1=33 but this is 32
So the wrong no. is 32
Q9. 26, 27, 34, 58, 106, 186, 306
[SBI-PO 2018]

26+(3x3)−1=34
34+(5x5)−1=58
58+(7x7)−1=106 and so on…
Hence wrong no. is 27
