Series= NUMBER SERIES ‘This chapter consists of questions in which series of numbers or alphabetical leters or combinations of both are given, which are generally called the terms ofthe series. These terms follow a certain patter throughout the series. The candidate is required to study the given series, lntiy the patter followed in the series and either complete the given series withthe most sutable elterative or find the wrong term inthe series. Solvec Examples Direction :n each ofthe following questions, various terms of@ number series are given with one term missing as shown by? Choose the missing term out ofthe given alternatives 8,7, 13, 23,?

The cardidat i required to decipher this pattern rd accordingly find the missing term or the wrong term in the given series Solved Examples Direction : In each of the folowing questions, various terms ofa letter serie are given with one term missing as shown by [? |.

Here, the tems of the given series are a eombinaton of eters and numerals, which move according oa set pattern. ‘Solved Examples Direction : In each ofthe folowing questions, varaus tems of an alphanumertcl series are given with one or ore terms missing as shown by (). Choose the missing terms out ofthe given alternatives Ex.8 225, 77, 14X9, 23W11, 34V13? (1) 27024 (2) 45U15, (3) 47015, (a)asvid Sol, First numeral 2,7, 14, 23, 34 (+ 5, +7, +9, +11.) ‘Second letter - ZYKWV ( decreases by 1 each time) ‘Third numeral -5,7,9,11,13 (increases by 2 each time) So the missing term is 47 U 15 Hence the answer is (3) Ex.9 W-144 , U-121, $-100, Q81,? (1) P64 (u122 0-64 vais Sol., First letter- decreases by 2 each time ‘Second numeral square of 12,11,10,9,8.. - . - So the missing term is 0-64 Hence the answer is (3) CONTINUOUS PATTERN . This type of questions usually consists of a serfes. cof small letters which follow a certain pattern. Howéver, some Jetters cre missing from the series. These missing letters are then given in a proper sequence as one of the alternatives. The candidate is required to choose this alternative as ‘the answer. Solved Examples ‘each ofthe following letter series some of the letters are missing which are given in hat order as Direction : ~~ one the altematives below it . Choose the correct alternatives. ExJ0eb__baa__ab_ (1) eaaaa (2) aaboa (3) canbab (4) bab ~ Sol. Here series aba is repeated Hence the answer is (2) Bx.11 2b_aa_bbb_aaa_bbba (1) abba (2) baab (3) aabb (4) abab Sol, The series s abb / aaabb /aaaabbbb /a, Thus the letter are repested twice, then thrice, then fou nes end soon. Hence the answers (2) Ex.12 _be_ca_abac_ca e - “(1) abe + (2) obec: (8) bacba (@iabboc Sol, The series is abe / bea /cab’/ abe / ba. Thus the liter change n eyelc order. Hence the answer i (1). 2 .EXERCISE Directions (Qi to Q15) : ind ihe missing terms 2), 1. 2,818,322” (ez (2160 (980 2. 14,316, 536, 764, ? «98t (211048 © (@)8110 3. 8,11, 15, 22, 33, 51, 2, 127, 208 (1)80 (53 58 4. 1,2,9,4,25,6,2 st (249, 150 5. 8,24, 16,7,7, 14,6, 18, 12, 5,5, 10 aia 10 7 6. 2,12, 36, 80, 150, ? ays (2210 (252 7. 2,5,10,17, 2,37 27 (224 26 8 2,10, 40, 120,?
