Question Detail

11, 12, 17, 18, 23, 24, (....) . Which term will come next ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please check, given sequence is combination of two seies
[Note: Usually when terms are more than 5, then chances are there that it may contain 2 series.]

Series 1 = 11, 17, 23
Series 2 = 12, 18, 24

So there is pattern +6 in each term
Next term will be 23+6 = 29

1. 13, 32, 24, 43, 35, (...), 46, 65, 57, 76

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

There are two series in this sequence
Series 1: 13, 24, 35, 46, 57
Series 2: 32, 43, (..), 65, 76

The pattern it is following is +11
Missing number will be 43 + 11 = 54

2. 1,6,15,(...),45,66,91

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Pattern in the series is, +5, +9, .., .., +21, +25
So 4 is getting increased at every term addition.
Missing term in the series will be 15+(9+4)
= 15+13 = 28

3. In the series 2, 6, 18, 54, ... what will be the 8th term ?

4174
4150
4274
4374

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can see the given series is in G.P.
as 2*3 = 6, 6*3 = 18, 18*3 = 54
So a = 2 , r = 3
nth term in G.P. is
\begin{aligned}
ar^{n-1} \\
= 2*3{8-1} \\
= 2*3^7 \\
= 2*2187 = 4374
\end{aligned}
