  1.    8
  2.    9
  3.    63
  4.    64
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 8
Each term at an even place in the series is the product of its two adjacent terms.Thus, if the missing term be x, then we have :7 × x = 56 or x = 56 ÷ 7 = 8
Question 478. Find the missing term: 20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13, 14, 11, ?, ?
  1.    10, 10
  2.    10, 11
  3.    13, 14
  4.    13, 16
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10, 10
Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.Thus, the sequence 20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13, 14, 11. x1, x2 is a combination of two series:I. 20, 19, 17, 14, x1 and II. 20, 16, 13, 11, x2The pattern in I is - 1, - 2, - 3,..............So, missing term, x1= 14 - 4 = 10The pattern in II is - 4, - 3, - 2,.......... So,missing term, x2 = 11 - 1 = 10
Question 479. Find the missing term: 1, 3, 4, 8, 15, 27, ?
  1.    37
  2.    44
