Question Detail

19, 2, 38, 3, 114, 4, ? . Which term should replace the question mark in this series ?

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please check the given sequence is combination of two series.
Series 1: 19, 38, 114, ...
Series 2: 2,3,4

In series 1, Pattern followed is *2, *3, so next will be *4
Next term will be
114*4 = 456

1. Which fraction will come next, \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{7}{16}, ? \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \frac{11}{32} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{9}{28} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{9}{30} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{9}{32} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Numerators of the fractions in the given sequence are getting increased by 2, i.e. 1+2,3+2,5+2, so next will be 7+2 = 9

Denominators of the fractions in the series is getting doubled, 2*2 = 4, 4*2 = 8, 8*2 = 16, no next will be 16*2 = 32

So resulting fraction will be
\begin{aligned}
\frac{9}{32}
\end{aligned}

2. 1,1,3,9,6,36,10,100,(..),225

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Given sequence is combination of two series
Series 1 : 1,3,6,10,..
Series 2 : 1,9,36,100,225

In series 1 pattern is +2, +3, +4. So next term will be
10+5 = 15

3. Complete the series 95, 115.5, 138, ..., 189

160.5
162.5
164.5
166.5

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Pattern in the series is, +20.5 , +22.5,
Next will be +24.5
138 + 24.5 = 162.5

4. 4, 10, (?), 82, 244, 730

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Each number in the series is the preceding number multiplied by 3 and then decreased by 2.

5. 21,25,33,49,81, ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Pattern is, +4, +8, +16, +32, so next will be +64
81+64 = 145
