Question 451. Find the missing term: 1, 1, 4, 8, 9, 27, 16, ?
  1.    32
  2.    64
  3.    81
  4.    256
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 64
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
Question 452. Find the missing term: 0, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 17, 24, 26, ?
  1.    28
  2.    30
  3.    32
  4.    35
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 35
The given sequence is a combination of two series:I. 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, ? andII. 2, 5, 10, 17, 26The pattern in each one of I and II is + 3, + 5, + 7, + 9,..............So, missing term = 24 + 11 = 35
Question 453. What will come at the place of question mark ?2/3 , 4/7 , ? , 11/21 , 16/31
  1.    5/9
  2.    6/11
  3.    7/13
  4.    9/17
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 7/13
The sequence in the numerators is + 2, + 3, + 4, + 5 and that in the denominators is + 4, + 6, + 8, + 10So, the numerator of the missing fraction should be (4 + 3)i.e., 7 and the denominator should be (7 + 6)i.e., 13. Thus, the missing term is 7/13 .
Question 454. Which term of the series 5,10, 20, 40,...................is 1280 ?
  1.    10th
  2.    9th
  3.    8th
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 9th
Clearly, 5 × 2 = 10, 10 × 2 =20, 20 × 2 = 40,.............................So, the series is G.P. in which a = 5 and r = 2.Let 1280 be the nth term of the series.Then, 5 × 2n - 1= 1280 ⇔2n - 1= 256 = 28 ⇔ n - 1 = 8 ⇔ n = 9
Question 455. Find the missing term: 13, 35, 57, 79, 911, ?
  1.    1110
  2.    1112
  3.    1113
  4.    1315
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1113
The term of the given series are numbers formed by joining together consecutive odd numbers in order i.e., 1 and 3, 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 7 and 9, 9 and 11...................So, missing term = number formed by joining 11 and 13 = 1113
Question 456. Find the missing term: 3, 10, 29, 66, 127, ?
  1.    164
  2.    187
  3.    216
  4.    218
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 218
The given series is a triangular pattern series.So, we have
3       10       29       66       127       ?
     7       19       37       61
         12        18      24
              6           6
So, missing term = 127 + (61 + 24 + 6)= 127 + 91= 218
Question 457. Find the missing term: 2, 12, 36, 80, 150, ?
  1.    194
  2.    210
  3.    252
  4.    258
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 252
The given series is a triangular pattern series.So, we have
2       12       36       80     150     ?
     10       24       44       70
         14        20      26
              6           6
So, missing term = 150 + (70 + 26 + 6)= 150 + 102= 252
Question 458. Find the missing term: 625, 5, 125, 25, 25, ?, 5
  1.    5
  2.    25
  3.    125
  4.    625
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 125
The given sequence is a combination of two series:I. 625, 125, 25, 5 andII. 5, 25, ?The pattern is ÷ 5, while that in II is × 5.So, missing term = 25 × 5 = 125
Question 459. Which of the following will not be a number of the series 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, ....?
  1.    256
  2.    512
  3.    729
  4.    1000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 256
The given series consists of cubes of natural numbers only. 256 is not the cube of any natural number.
Question 460. Find the missing term: 11, 10, ?, 100, 1001, 1000, 10001
  1.    101
  2.    110
  3.    111
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 101
The pattern is - 1, × 10 + 1, - 1, × 10 + 1, - 1, × 10 +1, ....So, the missing term = 10 × 10 + 1 = 101
