2,3,8,27, 112,?
A. 226 B. 339
C. 452 D. 565
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The pattern is x 1 + 1, x 2 + 2, x 3 + 3, x 4 + 4,…..
So, missing term = 112 x 5 + 5 = 565.

20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13, 14, 11, ?, ?
A. 10, 10
B. 10, 11
C. 13, 14
D. 13, 16
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.
Thus, the sequence 20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13, 14, 11, xv x2 is a combination of two series :
I. 20, 19, 17, 14, x1 and II. 20, 16, 13, 11, x2
The pattern in I is – 1, – 2, – 3,……So, missing term, x1 = 14 – 4 = 10.
The pattern in II is – 4, – 3, – 2,……So, missing term, x2 = 11 – 1 = 10.

24, 60, 120, 210, ?
A. 300 B. 336
C. 420 D. 525
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The pattern is + 36, + 60, + 90,…..i.e. + [6 x (6 + 0)], + [6 x (6 + 4)], + [6 x (6 + 9)],…
So, missing term = 210 + [6 x (6 + 15)] = 210 + 126 = 336.

625, 5, 125, 25, 25, ?, 5
A. 5 B. 25
C. 125 D. 625
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The given sequence is a combination of two series :
I. 625, 125, 25, 5 and II. 5, 25, ?
The pattern in I is ÷ 5, while that in II is x 5. So, missing term = 25 x 5 = 125.
