Logical Reasoning - Number and Letter Series
11. 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 48, 63, ...
- Option : A
- Explanation : The series is 12 − 1, 22 − 1, 32 − 1 and so on. The next number is 92 − 1 = 80.
Alternative solution: The differences between the numbers across the series are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17. The next number is 63 + 17 = 80.
12. 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, ..., 65
- Option : A
- Explanation : The series is 12 + 1, 22 + 1, 32 + 1 and so on. The next number is 72 + 1 = 50.
13. 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ..., 56
- Option : C
- Explanation : The series is 02 + 0, 12 + 1, 22 + 2, 32 +3 and so on. The missing number is 62 +6 = 42. The next number = 62 + 6 = 42.
First alternative solution V The series is 0 × 1,1 × 2, ....... 1 × 2, 2 × 3, 3 × 4, 4 × 5 and 5 × 6 = 30. The next number is 6 × 7 = 42.
Second alternative solution : The series is 12 − 1, 22 − 2, 32 − 3, 42 − 4, 52 − 5, 62 − 6, 72 − 7, 82 − 8 and so on.
15. 2, 9, 28, 65, 126, 217, 344, ...
- Option : A
- Explanation : The series is 13 + 1, 23 + 1, 33 + 1 and so on. Thus, the missing number is 83 + 1 = 513.
