Verbal Reasoning For Job seekers.

Number Series Quiz

Hint: number series is a type of verbal reasoning which people must encounter when writing a competitive examinations.

it is an arrangement of of numbers in a certain order,where some numbers are wrongly put into the series of numbers, and some numbers is (or are) missing inside the series of numbers. These or such a number needs to be found.

Below is an instance.

30, 23, 17, 12, ? , 5

Ans: 8

Explanation : yes! the answer is 8. That is, 8 is the missing number represented with question mark
( ? ).
From the question, 5+3=8
, 8 + 4 = 12,
12 + 5 = 17,
17 + 6 = 23 ,
23 + 7 = 30.

Now let's see how u can reason, and your chance
of breaking through during competitive examinations .

Directions (1-10):

What will come in place of the question marks (?) in the following Number series?

ok

1.    0, 6, 24, 60, 120, 210, ?

A.  336       
B.  349
C.  312
D.  337
E.  None of these

Ans= A, 336
0+ 6*1=6
6+ 6*3=24
24+ 6*6=60
60+ 6*10=120
120+ 6*15=210
the real here is 1,3,6,10,15, and 21 i.e d difference increases by 1.
So ans is 210+ 6*21= 210+ 126= 336

2.    11, 14, 19, 22, 27, 30, ?

A.  39
B.  34
C.  36
D.  35
E.  None of these

Ans= E, 35
11+3=14
14+5=19
19+3=22
22+5=27
27+3=30 therefore
30+5=35
add 3 and 5 alternately

3.    6, 12, 21, ? , 48

A.  33
B.  39
C.  36
D.  31
E.  None of these

Ans=33
6+6=12,
12+9=21
21+12=33
33+15=48
pattern: increase the increment by 3 i.e 6,9,12,15

4.    18, 22, 30, ? ,78, 142

A.  44
B.  35
C.  46
D.  48
E.  None of these

Ans= C, 46
18+4=22
22+8=30
30+16=46
46+32=78
78+64=142
the pattern is pretty obvious

5.    73205, 6655, 605, 55, ?

A.  9
B.  5
C.  13
D.  11
E.  None of these

Ans=B, 5
73205/ 11=6655
6655/ 11=605
605/ 11=55 thus,
55/ 11=5

6.    25, 100, ?, 1600, 6400

A.  400
B.  300
C.  360
D.  420
E.  None of these

Ans= A. 400
250*4=100
100*4=400
400*4=1600
1600*4=6400

7.    125, ?, 343, 512, 729, 1000

A.  216
B.  215
C.  256
D.  225
E.  None of these

Ans=A. 216
5^3=125
6^3=216
7^3=343
8^3=512
9^3=729
10^3=1000

8.    1 , 9 , 125 , 343 , ? , 1331

A.  730
B.  729
C.  512
D.  772
E.  None of these

Ans=B, 729
on a normal sunny day there are many answers. But since we are to choose from the given options:
taking pairs, we observe that
1^2=1 and 3^2=9 Also
5^3=125 and 7^3=343
i.e the members of each pair have the same powers, and each term in the sequence is power of 1,3,5,7,...,11 the 1st 6 odd numbers
so we can weakly deduce that since 1331=11^3 then the missing spot would be 9^3=729

9.    121, 144, 169, ?, 225

A.  180
B.  172
C.  186
D.  196
E.  None of these

Ans= E, 196
11^2=121
12^2=144
13^2=169
14^2=196
15^2=225

10.  ?, 2116, 2209, 2304, 2401, 2500

A.  2124
B.  1972
C.  1521
D.  2025
E.  None of these

Ans=D, 2025
working backwards:
2500-99=2401
2401-97=2304
2304-95=2209
2209-93=2116
2116-91=2025
there are other methods of solving this one

Op, any prize?

nice work brother. over good de worry youeee!!!.

For now, u scored 8/10.

u failed no 8 and 9.

u can still try them to see if u can get them at your leisure.

lol. But I am pretty sure I got 8 and 9 correctly.

lol. But I am pretty sure I got 8 and 9 correctly.

now u got 8 though ur own way here is not consistent. this is because, if u are to square, then all base must be squared, and not some squared, some cubed. do u see, the rule of perfect square number series becomes inconsistent.

any way, u got no 8 to b B.

but no nine is still there to answer

lol that was the only way to get 729. If you replace 9 with 27 i.e 3^3 then the sequence would be,
1^3,3^3,5^3,7^3,9^3,11^3.
No 9 is 196. I.e 14^2

lol. u still haven't got no 9. still try for the last time b4 I reveal the answer to u

SlimShaddy10:



lol. u still haven't got no 9. still try for the last time b4 I reveal the answer to u

is the solution you have problem with? Here is another method:
121+23=144
144+25=169
169+27=196
196+29=225
so the pattern is:
23, 25, 27, 29. I.e increase the increment by 2.

nice one finally. u good no b small.

SlimShaddy10:
nice one finally. u good no b small.

oga anything for boy?
