Answer: C) 186 Explanation: The given number series is 3  24  186  1008  5040  20160 Here  the given series follows a pattern that, 3 3 x 8 = 24 24 x 7 = 168 not 186 168 x 6 = 1008 1008 x 5 =  5040 5040 x 4 = 20160   Hence the Odd One in the number series is 186.

Answer: B) 328 Explanation: 2.5 × 1 + 1 = 3.5 3.5 × 2 + 2 = 9 9 × 4 + 4 = 40 40 × 8 + 8 = 328

Answer: A) 86 Explanation: Here the given number series is 5  11  21  44  ?  175   Now the given series follows a pattern, that   x2 + 1, x2 - 1, x2 + 2, x2 - 2, x2 + 3, x2 - 3,...   Then the missing number is x2 - 2   = 44 x 2 - 2 = 88 - 2 = 86   Hence, the missing number in the number series is 86.

Answer: B) 21 months Explanation: Total savings = 200 + 200 + 200 + 240 + 280 + ... to n months = 11040 = 120 + 80 + 160 + 40 + 200 + 240 + ....n terms= 40 + 80 + 120 + 160 + 200 + 240 + ...n terms= n/2[2a + (n-1)d] + 80 + 40 = 11040= n/2[240 + (n-1)40] = 10920= n[6+n-1] = 546= n[n+5] = 546n = 21

Answer: B) 92 Explanation: The given series of numbers follow the rule that, 2880/6 = 480480/5   = 9696/4     = 2424/3     = 88/2       = 44/1       = 4 But 92 is not in the rule. It is the wrong number in the given series.

Answer: B) Mark Tully Explanation:

Answer: A) 167 Explanation: The given number series is 3, 5, 13, 43, 167 3 3 x 1 + 2 = 5 5 x 2 + 3 = 13 13 x 3 + 4 = 43 43 x 4 + 5 = 177 (not equal to 167)   Hence, the odd number in the given number sequence is 167.

Answer: B) 72 Explanation: With close observation, you will note that each number in the list is in the middle of two prime numbers. Thus: 4 is in the middle of 3 and 5, 6 is in the middle of 5 and 7, 12 is in the middle of 11 and 13, 18 is in the middle of 17 and 19, 30 is in the middle of 29 and 31. 42 is in the middle of 41 and 43, 60 is in the middle of 59 and 61. Therefore, the next number would be the one that is in the middle of the next two prime numbers, which is 72 (which is in the middle of 71 and 73).
