24
What will come at the place of question mark ?
6, 24, 60,120, 210, ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:

First Number = 1 *2 *3 = 6
Second Number = 2*3*4 = 24
Third Number = 3*4*5 = 60
Fourth Number = 4*5*6 = 120
Fifth Number = 5*6*7 = 210
Sixth Number = 6*7*8 = 336.

Alternatively,

2*2*2-2=6
3*3*3-3=24
4*4*4-4=60
5*5*5-5=120
6*6*6-6=210
7*7*7-7=336.

25
What will come at the place of question mark ?
6, 11, 31, 121, 601, ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:

Logic:
First Term = 6.

Second term = 6*2 -1 = 11.

Third term = 11* 3 - 2 = 31.

Fourth term = 31 *4 - 3 = 124 -3 = 121.

Fifth term = 121*5 - 4 = 601.

Sixth term = 601 *6 = 3606 - 5 = 3601.

26
What will come at the place of question mark ?
7, 11, 19, 35, 67, ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Logic:
Last Term *2 - 3 = Next Term.
First Term = 7
Second Term = 7 * 2 -3 = 11
Third Term = 11 * 2 - 3 = 19
Fourth Term = 19 * 2 - 3 = 35
Fifth Term = 35 * 2 - 3 = 67
Sixth Term = 67 * 2 -3 = 131
Alternative Solution :
Last term + 2n = Next Term
First Term = 7
Second Term = 7 + 22 = 11
Third Term = 11 + 23 = 19
Fourth Term = 19 + 24 = 35
Fifth Term = 35 + 25 = 67
Sixth Term = 67 + 26 = 131
27
What will come at the place of question mark ?
8, 22, 64, 190, 568, ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Logic:
Previous Term * 3 - 2 = Next term.
First Term = 8
Second term = 8 * 3 - 2 = 24 - 2 = 22
Third term = 22 * 3 - 2 = 64
Fourth term = 64 * 3 - 2 = 190
Fifth Term = 190 * 3 - 2 = 568
Sixth Term = 568 * 3 - 2 = 1704 - 2 = 1702
28
What will come at the place of question mark ?
5760,2880,960, 240, 48, ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:

First Term = 5760.

Second term = 5760 /2 = 2880.

Third Term = 2880/3 = 960.

Fourth term = 960/4 = 240.

Fifth term = 240/5 = 48.

So, Required term = 48/6 = 8.

29
