Perfect Square Series:
This Types of Series are based on square of a number which is in same order and one square number is missing in that given series.
Example 1:
841, ?, 2401, 3481, 4761
Solution:
[latex]29^{2}[/latex], [latex]39^{2}[/latex], [latex]49^{2}[/latex], [latex]59^{2}[/latex], [latex]69^{2}[/latex]
Example 2:
1, 9, 25, ?, 81, 121
Solution:
[latex]1^{2}[/latex], [latex]3^{2}[/latex], [latex]5^{2}[/latex], [latex]7^{2}[/latex], [latex]9^{2}[/latex], [latex]11^{2}[/latex]
Example 3:
289, 225, 169, ?, 81
Solution:
[latex]17^{2}[/latex], [latex]15^{2}[/latex], [latex]13^{2}[/latex], [latex]11^{2}[/latex], [latex]9^{2}[/latex]
Perfect Cube Series:
This Types of Series are based on cube of a number which is in same order and one cube number is missing in that given series.
Example 1:
3375, ?, 24389, 46656, 79507
Solution:
[latex]15^{3}[/latex], [latex]22^{3}[/latex], [latex]29^{3}[/latex], [latex]36^{3}[/latex], [latex]43^{3}[/latex]
(Each cube digit added with seven to become next cube number)
Example 2:
729, 6859, 24389, ?, 117649, 205379
Solution:
[latex]9^{3}[/latex], [latex]19^{3}[/latex], [latex]29^{3}[/latex], [latex]39^{3}[/latex], [latex]49^{3}[/latex], [latex]59^{3}[/latex]
Example 3:
1000, 8000, 27000, 64000, ?
Solution:
[latex]10^{3}[/latex], [latex]20^{3}[/latex], [latex]30^{3}[/latex], [latex]40^{3}[/latex], [latex]50^{3}[/latex]
Ration Series:
This type of series are based on ration series, where sequence are in form of ratio in difference between the numbers. All numbers are arranged in ratio sequence order.
Example 1:
11, 22, 44, 88, ?
Solution:
Separate each number and
= 11 x 2 = 22,
= 22 x 2 = 44,
= 44 x 2 = 88,
= 88 x 2 = 176.
Example 2:
13, 26, 412, ?, 1648
Solution:
Separate each number and
= (1+1 = 2, 3+3 = 6) = 26,
= (2+2=4, 6+6 = 12) = 412,
= (41+41=82, 2+2=4 = 824,
= (82+82=164,4+4= 8)=1648.
So, the missing term is 824.
Geometric Series:
This type of series are based on ascending or descending sequence of numbers and each continuous number is obtain by multiplying or dividing the preceding number with static number.
Example 1:
3, ?, 45, 144, 585
Solution:
3 x 0 +9 = 9, 9 x 1 + 9 = 18, 18 x 2 + 9 = 45, 45 x 3 + 9 = 144, 144 x 4 + 9 = 585.
Example 2:
5, 45, 405, 3645, ?
Solution:
5 x 9 = 45, 45 x 9 = 405, 405 x 9 = 3645, 3645 x 9 = 32805.
Example 3:
73205, 6655, 605, 55, ?
Solution:
5 x 11 = 55, 55 x 11 = 605, 605 x 11 = 6655, 6655 x 11 = 73205.
Two stage Type Series:
A two stage Arithmetic series is one in which the formation of arithmetic series are obtain from differences of continuous numbers themselves.
Example:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15.....
Solution:
3 - 1 = 2, 6 - 3 = 3, 10 - 6 = 4, 15 - 10 = 5....
Now, we get an arithmetic sequence 2, 3, 4, 5
Mixed Series:
This type of series are more than one different order are given in a series which arranged in alternatively in a single series or created according to any non-conventional rule. This mixed series Examples are describes in separately.
Example:
11, 24, 50, 102, 206, ?
Solution:
11 x 2 = 22 +2 = 24,
24 x 2 = 48 + 2 = 50,
50 x 2 = 100 + 2 = 102,
102 x 2 = 204 + 2 = 206,
206 x 2 = 412 + 2 = 414.
So the missing number is 414.
