Latest Number Series MCQ Objective Questions
Number Series Question 1:
What should come in place of question mark ‘?’ in the following series?
1, 2, 6, ? , 120, 720Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 1 Detailed Solution
The Pattern of the series is:
1 × 1 = 1,
1 × 2 = 2,
2 × 3 = 6,
6 × 4 = 24,
24 × 5 = 120,
120 × 6 = 720,
∴ Missing term is 24Number Series Question 2:
Find the wrong number in the following series:
9600, 26400, 76600, 199650, 549037.5
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 2 Detailed Solution
Solution:
Given Series: 9600, 26400, 76600, 199650, 549037.5
Logic Used:
9600 × [11 / 4] = 26400
26400 × [11 / 4] = 72600
72600 × [11 / 8] = 199650 so on….
So, the wrong number is 76600.
Number Series Question 3:
Find the wrong number in the following series:
456, 5016, 45144, 361138, 1580040
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 3 Detailed Solution
Solution:
Given Series: 456, 5016, 45144, 361138, 1580040
Logic Used:
456 × 11 = 5016
5016 × 9 = 45144
45144 × 7 = 316008
316008 × 5 = 1580040
So, the wrong number is 361138.
Number Series Question 4:
Direction: Find the missing series?
2978, ? , 746, 374, 188,95
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 4 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
2978, ? , 746, 374, 188,95
Here logic used is:
2978 1490 746 374 188 95
1588 744 372 186 93
÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2
∴ Missing tern is 1490.
Number Series Question 5:
Direction: Find the missing series?
?, 154, 147, 136, 123, 106
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 5 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
154 - 147 = 7
147 - 136 = 11
136 - 123 = 13
123 - 106 = 17
The differences between consecutive terms are 7, 11, 13, and 17. These differences are increasing by prime numbers.
The next difference should be 5 (the previous prime number before 7).
Now, add 5 to 154 to find the missing number:
154 + 5 = 159
∴ The missing term in the series is 159.
Top Number Series MCQ Objective Questions
The sum of the first 2007 terms of the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, _______ is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Number Series Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFHere, we have repeated series of the first 4 terms i.e. 1,2,3,4 and the sum becomes 10
⇒ Total number of such repeated series = 2004/4 = 501
⇒ Sum of the first 2004 terms = 501 × 10 = 5010
∴ Sum of the first 2007 terms = 5010 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 5016
In this question, We have to find the sum of 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4... at 2007-terms. At 2004-terms all four terms (1, 2, 3 and 4) repeat continuously but after 2004 only 1, 2, and 3 occurs for completing 2007 terms. therefore first we have to find the sum of 2004 terms and after we added sum of 1, 2 and 3 in the sum of 2004 terms.
