Question 71. 5      31     159    645 1951  39273      A)     B)      C)      D)       E) What will come in the place of (B)?
  1.    92
  2.    93
  3.    91
  4.    99

Answer: Option D. -> 99


As 5 31 159 645 1951 3927 
5x6+1 = 31 
31x5+4 =159 
159x4+9 = 645 
 645x3+16 = 1951 
1951x2+25 = 3927 
Same as (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)  (E)              3 19    99 405 1231 2487 
3x6+1 = 19 
19x5+4 = 99 
99x4+9 = 405 
405x3+16 = 1231 
1231x2+25 = 2487
Hence in place of (B) number 99 will be come


Question 72. 7   13   31   97  391 1967 13  A)  B)   C)    D)    E) What will come in place of (D)?
  1.    584
  2.    535
  3.    596
  4.    586
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 535


As 7 13 31 97 391 1957 
Here 7x1+6 = 13 
13x2+5 = 31 
31x3+4 = 97 
97x4+3= 391 
391x5+2 = 1957 
     (A)   (B)   (C)   (D)  (E) 13 19    43   133  535 2677 
Same as 13x1+6 =19 
19x2+5 = 43 
43x3+4= 133 
133x4+3 = 535 
535x5+2 = 2677 
Hence in place of (D) number 535 will be come.


Question 73. 8  7  12  33  128  635 6  A)  B)  C)  D)    E) What will come in place of (C)?
  1.    24
  2.    21
  3.    34
  4.    26
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 21


As 8 7 12 33 128 635 
Here 8x1-1 =7 
7x2-2 = 12 
12x3-3 = 33 
33x4-4 =128 
128x5-5 = 635 
          (A) (B)  (C)  (D)  (E) 
Now 6 5     8   21   80   395 
6x1-1 = 5 
5x2-2 = 8 
8x3-3 = 21 
21x4-4 =80 
80x5-5 = 395 
Hence in place of (C) number 21 will come.

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.


Question 75. What number should come next?

each number to arrive at the next. In the
alternating series, beginning with 56, 12 is
added to each number to arrive at the next.

Question 80. 40 30 3600 15 24 17 What is the sum of the two resultant number of the set of the number given above?
  1.    22
  2.    23
  3.    25
  4.    42
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 25


R1 = 40  30  3600                                Now R2=1524  17
   =(40x30)3600                                                    =(15+27)     17
   =1200                                                        =39 17
   =(3600/1200) = 3                                      = 39 -17 = 22
Required sun =R1+R2 = 22+3 =25.
