Q1. Here is the number series to solve, if:
50 + 55 = 5250
74 + 54 = 9472
43 + 13 = 2408
97 + 14 = ? – what will be the number here?
Answer: 10767 i.e.97(97+14)
Logic for other number:
50(50+55) =5250,
74(74+54) =9472
43(43+13) =2408
Logic: The logic is addition of both number multiplied by first number i.e.(50 + 55)*50=5250
Q2. Second question in the series is:
93 + 24 = 6417
6 + 71 = -390
22 + 86 = -1408
55 + 54 = ? – what will be the number here?
Answer: 55 i.e.55(55-54)
Logic to see how other numbers were derived in above series: 93(93-24) =6417,
6(6-71) =-390,
22(22-86) =-1408
Logic: The logic is subtraction of both number multiplied by first number i.e.(93 – 24)*93=6417
Q3. Third question in the series is:
10 + 32 = 52
98 + 17 = 213
22 + 47 = 91
97 + 49 = ? – what will be the number here?
Answer: 243 i.e.97*2+49
Logic for other numbers:
10*2+32 =52,
98*2+17 =213,
22*2+47 =91
Logic: The logic is 2 multiplied by first number plus second number i.e.(10*2 + 32)=52
Q4. What is the next number in the series:
66, 33.0, 16.5, 8.25, ?
Answer: 4.125 i.e. 8.25/2.
Logic: Second number is half of first one, 3rd number is half of second one and so on i.e.
66/2 =33.0,
33.0/2 =16.5,
16.5/2 =8.25
and so on.
Q5. Guess next number in the series:
8, 4.0, ??, 1.0, 0.5
Answer: 2.0 i.e. 4.0/2.
Logic: Second number is half of first one, 3rd number is half of second one and so on i.e.
8/2 = 4.0,
4.0/2 = 2.0,
2.0/2 =1.0
and so on.
Q6. Guess next number in the series:
6, 36, 216, 1296, ?
Answer: 7776 i.e. 6^5
Logic: The series is square, cube, ^4 and so on i.e.
6*6 = 36 ,
6*6*6 = 216 etc.
or you can say next number is previous number multiplied by 6.
Q7. Guess next number in the series:
8, 64, ??, 4096, 32768
Answer: 512 i.e.8^3
Logic: The series is square, cube, ^4 and so on i.e.
8*8 = 64, ,
8*8*8 = 512 etc.
or simply you can say next number is previous number multiplied by 8.
Q8. Guess next number in the series:
7, 8, 10, 13, ?
Ans. 17 i.e. 13 + 4
Logic: Second number is (1st number + 1), third number is (2nd number + 2), 4th is (3rd number + 3) and so on.
i.e.
7 + 1 = 8,
8 + 2 = 10,
10 + 3 = 13 and so on.
Q9. What will be the next number in the series:
1, 3, 7, 13, ?
Ans. 21 i.e. 12 + 8
Logic: Second number is (1st number + 2), third number is (2nd number + 4), 4th is (3rd number + 6) and so on.
1 + 2 = 3,
3 + 4 = 7,
7 + 6 = 13
and so on.
