SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
11 = 2 × 3 + 5
38 = 11 × 4 - 6
197 = 38 × 5 + 7
1172 ≠ 197 × 6 - 8
1172 is wrong and it should be replaced by 197 × 6 - 8 = 1174

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
107 - 71 = 36 
71 - 46 = 25 
46 - 30 = 16 
30 - 21 = 9 
21 - 19 = 2≠4 
19  should be replaced by 17 for which 21 - 17 = 4

S3. Ans.(d) 
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern:
16 = 9 + 7
25 = 16 + 9
41 = 25 + 16
68 ≠ 41 + 25
68 should be replaced by 66.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern: ×0.5,×1.5,×2.5,×3.5,×4.5 
Obviously, 3.5 Is the wrong number which should be replaced by 3.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. The series is based on the following pattern: ×0.25,×0.5,×0.75,×1,×1.25
Obviously, 1.75 is the wrong number which should be replaced by 1.5.

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×6+1,×5+8,×4+27,×3+64,×2+125
Similarly, 5×6+1=31
 31×5+8=163
Hence, 163 will come in place of (b).

S7. Ans.(a) 
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern
13 = 4 × 1 + 1 × 9
40 = 13 × 2 + 2 × 7
135 = 40 × 3 + 3 × 5
552 = 135 × 4 + 4 × 3
2765 = 552 × 5 + 5 × 1
Similarly,
(a) = 2 × l + 1 × 9 = 11
(b) = 11 × 2 + 2 × 7 = 36
(c) = 36 × 3 + 3 × 5 = 123
Hence, 123 will come in place of (c).

S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern: ×2+2,÷2-2,×2+2,÷2-2………..
Hence, 4 will come in place of (d).

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×2+7,×2+11,×2+13,×2+17,×2+19
(7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ..... are consecutive prime numbers)
Hence, 159 will come in place of (d).

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.5,×1.5,×2.5…….
Hence, 22.5 will come in place of (c).

S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. The given number series is based on the following pattern :
13 × 1 + 1 = 14
14 × 2 + 2 = 30
30 × 3 + 3 = 93
93 × 4 + 4 = 376
376 × 5 + 5 = 1885
? = 1885 × 6 + 6 = 11316
Hence, number 11316 will replace the question mark.

S12. Ans.(b))
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern :×1.5,×1.5,……..

S13. Ans.(d) 
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.6,×0.6……..

S14. Ans.(a)
Sol. The given series is based on the following pattern : ×0.5,×1,×1.5,×2,×2.5…….

S15. Ans.(e)
Sol.
705 + 1 × 23 = 728
728 + 2 × 23 = 774
774 + 3 × 23 = 843
843 + 4 × 23 = 935
935 + 5 × 23 = 1050
? = 1050 + 6 × 23 = 1050 + 138 = 1188
