ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS
1) Option – a
Pattern => -21,
-19, -17, -15, .......
So missing term is 35
2) Option – c
Pattern =>
+0.05, +0.10, +0.15, ......
So missing term is 0.8 + 0.20 = 1
3) Option – b
Pattern => +1,
+3, +6......i.e. +1, +(1+2), +(1+2+3),
....
So missing term is 15 + ( 1+2+3+4 ) = 25
4) Option – b
Pattern => 1^2
, 1^3, 2^2, 2^3, 2^2, 3^3, ....
So missing term is 4^3 = 64
5) Option – b
Pattern => ÷1, ÷2,
÷3, ÷4, .....
So missing term is 240 ÷ 1 = 240
6) Option – c
Pattern => × 3/2
So missing term is 13 ½ × 3/2 = 27/2 × 3/2 = 20 ¼
7) Option – b
Pattern => ×2, ×
3/2, × 2, × 3/2, ×2, ...
So missing term is 18 × 3/2 = 27
8) Option – c
Pattern => +1, ×1,
+2, ×2, +3, ×3, ....
So missing term is 13 × 3 = 39
9) Option – d
Pattern => +0,
+3, +8, +15, ... i.e. +(1^2-1), +(2^2 -1), +(3^2 -1), ...
So missing term is 28 + (5^2 – 1) = 28 + 24 = 52
10) Option – b
Pattern =>+5,
+20, +80, +320, .... i.e. +(5 × 1^2), + (5 × 2^2), +(5 × 4^2), ....
So missing term is 427 + (5 × 16^2) = 427 + 1280 = 1707

ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS
1) Options – d
Pattern => (1^2 +
1) , (2^2 + 1), (3^2 + 1), (4^2 + 1), ....
Wrong Term = 64
Right Term = 8 ^ 2 + 1 = 65
2) Options – d
Pattern => ×2 + 1, ×3 + 1, ×2 + 1, ×3 + 1,....
Wrong Term = 654
Right Term = 218 × 3 – 4 = 650
3) Options – c
Pattern => (1^2 – 0^2), (2^2 – 1^2), (4^2 – 2^2), ....
Wrong Term =25
Right Term = (6 ^2 – 3 ^2) = 27
4) Options – b
Pattern => 1^2, (2^2 + 1), 3^2, (4^2 +1), 5^2, (6^2 + 1),
7^2
Wrong Term = 15
Right Term = (4^2 + 1) = 17
5) Options – a
Pattern => Its combination of two series
I. 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35; and
II. 2, 5, 10, 18, 26
Pattern of both series = +3, +5, +7, +9,...
Wrong in II series = 18
Right = (10 + 7) = 17
