Chapter Wise Logical Reasoning in English SEQUENCE OF WORDS

1 >>One number-series is given in which one term is wrong. Find out the wrong term.

4, 11, 21, 34, 49, 69,91. ?

• (A) 34
• (B) 69
• (C) 49
• (D) 21

Solution 11 - 4 = 721 - 11 = 1034 - 21 = 1349 - 34 = 15Hence 49 is wrong.50 should have come in place of 49.i.e, 50 - 34 = 60.

2 >>One number-series is given in which one term is wrong. Find out the wrong term.

5, 12, 19, 33, 47, 75, 104. ?

• (A) 33
• (B) 47
• (C) 75
• (D) 104

Solution 12 - 5 = 719 - 12 = 734 - 19 = 1447 - 33 = 1475 - 47 = 28104 - 75 = 29.Hence 104 is wrong.103 should have come in place of 104.i.e,103 - 75 = 28.

3 >>Fill in the blank space.

1, 9, 17, 33, 49, 73, (......) ?

• (A) 97
• (B) 98
• (C) 99
• (D) 100

Solution The patteren is +8, +8, +16, +16, +24, +24,....Therefore the missing number = 73 + 24 = 97.

4 >>Fill in the blank space.

2, 5, 9, (.......), 20, 27 ?

• (A) 14
• (B) 16
• (C) 18
• (D) 24

Solution The patteren is +3, +4, +5, +6, +7,....The missing number = 9 + 5 = 14.

5 >>Fill in the blank space.

5, 9, 17, 29, 45, (.......) ?

• (A) 60
• (B) 65
• (C) 68
• (D) 70

Solution The patteren is +4, +8, +12, +16, +20, +24,....Therefore the missing number = 45 + 20 = 65.

6 >>Fill in the blank space.

3, 7, 15, 31, 63, (.......) ?

• (A) 92
• (B) 115
• (C) 127
• (D) 131

Solution Each number in the series is the preceding number multiplied by 2 and then increased by 1.Thus, (3 * 2) + 1 = 7(7 * 2) + 1 = 15(15 * 2) + 1 = 31Therefore (63 * 2) + 1 = 127.

7 >>Fill in the blank space.

1, 6, 15, (......), 45, 66, 91 ?

• (A) 25
• (B) 26
• (C) 27
• (D) 28

Solution The patteren is +5, +9, +13, +17, +21, +25,....Therefore missing number = 15 + 13 = 28.

8 >>Fill in the blank space.

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, (.......) ?

• (A) 9
• (B) 11
• (C) 13
• (D) 15

Solution Each term in the series is the sum of the preceding two terms.Thus, 1 + 2 = 32 + 3 = 53 + 5 = 8Therefore missing number = 5 + 8 = 13.

9 >>Fill in the blank space.

0.5, 1.5, 4.5, 13.5, (.......) ?

• (A) 45.5
• (B) 39.5
• (C) 30.5
• (D) 40.5

Solution Each term of the series is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by 3.Therefore missing number = 13.5 * 3 = 40.5.
