Solutions:
171). Here, series moves with the addition of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 192, respectively. Hence the
missing number is 202.
Answer is: D)
Therefore, ? = 930
Answer is: D)
173). Here, series is written in descending order with a difference of 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5, respectively.

326) Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series in which 2 is subtracted twice, then 3 is
subtracted once, then 2 is subtracted twice, and so on.
327) Option B
Explanation: This is an alternating addition and subtraction series, in which the addition of 4 is
328) Option E
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series, which subtracts 5, then 2, then 5, and so
on.
329) Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 35, interpolated as
every third number. The pattern of addition is to add 2, add 5, add 2, and so on. The number 35
comes after each "add 2" step.
330) Option B
Explanation: Here, there are two alternating patterns, with every other number following a
different pattern. The first pattern begins with 13 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the
next; the alternating pattern begins with 29 and subtracts 3 each time.
331) Option B
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.
332)OptionA
Explanation: This is an alternating repetition series. The number 32 alternates with a series in
which each number decreases by 2.
333) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple subtraction series in which a random number, 93, is interpolated as
every third number. In the subtraction series, 10 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the
next.
334) Option D
Explanation: In this simple addition with repetition series, each number in the series repeats
itself, and then increases by 12 to arrive at the next number.
335) Option D
336) Option C
Explanation: The letters decrease by 1; the numbers are multiplied by 2.
337) Option D
Explanation: This is an alternating division and addition series: First, divide by 2, and then add 8.
338) Option A
Explanation: In this series, 5 is added to the previous number; the number 70 is inserted as every
third number.
339) Option B
Explanation: This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. The first series begins
with 8 and adds 3; the second begins with 43 and subtracts 2.

341. (A)
The given series is : 13 – 1, 23 – 2, 33 – 3, 43 – 4, 53 – 5, 63 – 6,
So the missing term = 73 – 7 = 343 – 7 = 336 .
342. (D)
The pattern is + 3, + 5, + 3, + 5, …………
So the missing term is = 30 + 5 = 35 .
343. (A)
The pattern is + 6, + 9, + 12, +15 ………..
So the missing term is = 21 + 12 = 33 .
344. (C)
The pattern is +4, +8, +16, +32, +64

SOLUTION:
431) Ans.(C)
Sol. The given number series is based on the following pattern :
13 × 1 + 1 = 14
14 × 2 + 2 = 30
30 × 3 + 3 = 93
93 × 4 + 4 = 376
376 × 5 + 5 = 1885
? = 1885 × 6 + 6 = 11316
Hence, number 11316 will replace the question mark.
432) Ans.(B) )
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern :×1.5,×1.5,……..
433) Ans.(D)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.6,×0.6……..
434) Ans.(A)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.5,×1,×1.5,×2,×2.5…….
435) Ans.(E)
Sol.
705 + 1 × 23 = 728
728 + 2 × 23 = 774
774 + 3 × 23 = 843
843 + 4 × 23 = 935
935 + 5 × 23 = 1050
? = 1050 + 6 × 23 = 1050 + 138 = 1188
436) Explanation:
2916 ÷ 3 = 972
972 ÷ 3 = 324
324 ÷ 3 = 108
108 ÷ 3 = 36
36 ÷ 3 = 12
437) Explanation:
The pattern of the given series is:
⇒ Cube of prime numbers: ⇒
2^3 = 8
3^3 = 27
5^3 = 125
7^3 = 343
11^3 = 1331
438)Here, two alternate series are going together with the pattern given below
7=3×2+1
45 = 22 × 2 + 1
15 = 7 × 2 + 1
31 = 15 × 2 + 1
∴The number in the place of question mark = 45 × 2 + 1 = 91
440)
Explanation:
5963 – 3^2 = 5954
5954 – 4^2 = 5938
5938 – 5^2 = 5913
5913 – 6^2 = 5877
5877 – 7^2 = 5828
