Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation - 3 × 2 + 2 = 8 8 × 2 + 2 = 18 18 × 2 + 2 = 38 38 × 2 + 2 = 78 78 × 2 + 2 = 158 158 × 2 + 2 = 318 Hence, 316 is wrong and 318 should have come in place of that
2. Answer - Option B
Explanation - The pattern is [latex]{2}^{3}, {3}^{3}, {4}^{3}, {5}^{3}, {6}^{3}, {7}^{3}[/latex]. But, 100 is not a perfect cube.
3. Answer - Option C
Explanation - 5 × 1 + 1 = 6 6 × 2 + 2 = 14 14 × 3 + 3 = 45 45 × 4 + 4 = 184 184 × 5 + 5 = 925 925 × 6 + 6 = 5556 Hence, it is clear that 184 should have come instead of 185
4. Answer - Option B
Explanation - In each number except 427, the middle digit is the sum of other two.
5. Answer - Option B
Explanation - Alternatively 22 is added and 15 is subtracted from the terms. Hence, 271 is wrong 241 + 22 = 263 263 – 15 = 248 248 + 22 = 270 270 – 15 = 255 255 + 22 = 277 277 – 15 = 262

A. -5 B. -145 C. -255 D. -195

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation - In each number except 383, the product of first and third digits is the middle one.
2. Answer - Option B
Explanation - Alternatively 2 and 4 are multiplied with the previous terms 5 × 2 = 10 10 × 4 = 40 40 × 2 = 80 80 × 4 = 320 320 × 2 = 640 640 × 4 = 2560 Hence, 81 is wrong. 80 should have come in place of 81.
3. Answer - Option A
Explanation - In each number except 751, the difference of third and first digit is the middle one.
4. Answer - Option A
Explanation - [latex]\frac {(3576-8)}{2}[/latex] = 1784 [latex]\frac {(1784-8)}{2}[/latex] = 888 [latex]\frac {(888-8)}{2}[/latex] = 440 [latex]\frac {(440-8)}{2}[/latex] = 216 [latex]\frac {(216-8)}{2}[/latex] = 104 [latex]\frac {(104-8)}{2}[/latex] = 48 Hence, 105 is wrong. 104 should have come in place of 105
5. Answer - Option B
Explanation - 30 – 35 = -5 -5 – 40 = -45 -45 – 45 = -90 -90 – 50 = -140 -140 – 55 = -195 -195 – 60 = -255 Hence, -145 is wrong. -140 should have come in place of -145
