 Definition of Number Series

A group or a number of related or similar to other number, things, events, etc., arranged or
occurring in temporal, spatial, or other order or succession; sequence.

Even and odd numbers

An integer is even if it is a multiple of two, and is odd otherwise.

Even Numbers: 0,2,4,6,8,10…….

Odd Numbers: 1,3,5,7,9,11………

Prime number

An integer with exactly two positive divisors: itself and 1. The primes form an infinite sequence
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, ....

Composite number

A number that can be factored into a product of smaller integers. Every integer greater than
one is either prime or composite.

Ex: 4,6,8,9,10,12…….

Arithmetic Sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a mathematical sequence consisting of a sequence in it.

An example of this type of number sequence could be the following:

4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29…..

Quadratic Sequence

Quadratic sequences do not increase in constant amounts. Whenever the second difference is
constant in a sequence, the sequence is said to be a quadratic sequence.

GENESIS
 Geometric Sequence
A Geometric sequence is a mathematical sequence consisting of a sequence in which the next
term originates by multiplying the predecessor with a constant, better known as the common ratio.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, ….

Harmonic Sequence
Harmonic sequence (or harmonic progression) is a progression formed by taking the reciprocals of an
arithmetic progression.

Triangular Numbers
In Triangular numbers these dots represent the amount of dots needed to fill a triangle, starting with
the smallest number possible, or in formula:
Xn = (n2 + n) / 2
An example of this type of number sequence could be the following:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, …

Square Numbers
Square numbers or perfect squares is the product of integer with itself.
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, …

Cube Numbers
A cube number sequence originates by multiplying the number 3 times with itself.
1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, …

Fibonacci Numbers
In Fibonacci number sequence next term originates by addition of the previous two.
Example
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, …

23. Number Puzzle: Which number replaces the question mark?

Answer: 11
Explanation:
The numbers in the right half from the series : 2, 3, 4, 5 The numbers in the left half from the series : 5,
7, 9, 11

24. Which number replaces the question mark?

Answer: 70
Explanation:
7x2+2= 16; 16x2+2 = 34 and so on.
So missing number = 34x2+2 = 70

25. Number Puzzle: Which number replaces the question mark?

Answer: 100
Explanation:
(7+5)2 = 144; (3+4)2 = 49; (5+1)2 = 36.
So, missing number = (2+8)2 = 100.

26. Number Puzzle: Which number replaces the question mark?

GENESIS
 Answer: 1
Explanation:
The two ends of each line segment contain a number and its
square.
So answer is = 12 = 1.

27. Odd man out: 24, 27, 31, 33, 36

A. 24 B. 27
C. 31 D. 33
Explanation:
Each term in the series is increased by 3 to obtain the next term. So, 31 is wrong and must be replaced
by (27 + 3) i.e. 30.

28. Odd man out: 196, 169, 144, 121, 80

A. 80 B. 121
C. 169 D. 196
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The sequence is 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 all are squares. So, 80 is wrong and must be replaced by 100.

29. Odd man out: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13

A. 3 B. 5
C. 7 D. 9
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The series consists of consecutive prime numbers. So, 9 is wrong.

30. Odd man out: 121, 143, 165, 186, 209

A. 143 B. 165
C. 186 D. 209
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Each term of the series is increased by 22 to obtain the next term. So, 186 is wrong and must be
replaced by (165 + 22) i.e. 187

31. Odd man out: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 96

A. 4 B. 32
C. 64 D. 96
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Each term of the series is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by 2. So, 96 is wrong and must
be replaced by (64 * 2) i.e. 128.
