IBPS - Maths Series 1

Q.1)

In each of these questions a number series is given. Below the series one number is given followed by (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). You have to complete this series following the same logic as in the original series and answer the question that follows.
5      9      25       91    414      2282.5
3     (a)    (b)      (c)    (d)         (e)


What will come in place of (c) ?


1) 63.25
2) 63.75
3) 64.25
4) 64.75
5) None Of these
Correct Ans:
4


Solutions :

Original number series
 5 x 1.5 + 1.5 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9
 9 x 2.5 + 2.5 = 22.5 + 2.5 = 25
 25x3.5+3.5 = 87.5+3.5 = 91
 91 x 4.5 + 4.5 = 409.5 + 4.5 = 414
 Like this,
 (a) Þ 3x1.5+ 1.5 = 4.5+ 1.5 = 6
 (b) Þ 6 x 2.5 + 2.5 = 15 + 2.5 = 17.5
 (c) Þ 17.5 x 3.5 + 3.5 = 61.25 + 3.5  = 64.75



Q.2)

In each of these questions a number series is given. Below the series one number is given followed by (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). You have to complete this series following the same logic as in the original series and answer the question that follows.
15     9      8     12     36     170
19    (a)   (b)    (c)    (d)      (e)


What will come in place of (b) ?


1) 18
2) 16
3) 22
4) 24
5) None Of these
Correct Ans:
2


Solutions:

Original number series
 15x1-1x 6= 15-6 = 9
 9x2-2x5 = 18-10=8
 8x3-3x4 = 24-12 = 12
 12x4-4x3 = 48-12 = 36
 36x5-5x2 = 180-10=170
 Like this,
 (a)  19x 1-1x6 = 19-6=13
 (b)  13 x2-2x5 = 26-10=16



Q.3)

7      6       10      27    104     515
9     (a)     (b)     (c)     (d)      (e)


What will come in place of (d) ?


1) 152
2) 156
3) 108
4) 112
5) None Of these
Correct Ans:
1


Solutions :-

Original number series
 7x1-1=6  
 6x2-2 = 10
 10 x 3- 3 = 27
 27x4-4 = 104
 104x5-5=515
 Like this,
 (a) Þ 9x1-1 = 8
 (b) Þ 8x 2-2 = 14
 (c) Þ 14x 3-3 = 39
 (d) Þ 39x4-4 = 152



Q.4)

In each of these questions a number series is given. Below the series one number is given followed by (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). You have to complete this series following the same logic as in the original series and answer the question that follows.
6     16     57     244    1245    7506
4    (a)      (b)     (c)      (d)       (e)


What will come in place of (d) ?


1) 985
2) 980
3) 1004
4) 1015
5) None Of these
Correct Ans:
5


Solutions :

Original number series
 6x2+22 = 12 + 4 = 16
 16 x 3 + 32 = 48 + 9 = 57
 57x4+ (4)2 = 228+ 16=244
 244 x 5 + (5)2 = 1220 + 25 = 1245
 Like this,
 (a)  4 x 2 + 22 = 8 + 4 = 12
 (b) 12x3+ 32 = 36+ 9 = 45
 (c) 45 x 4 + 42 = 180 + 16 = 196
 (d)  196x5+ 52 = 980 + 25 = 1005



Q.5)

In each of these questions a number series is given. Below the series one number is given followed by (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). You have to complete this series following the same logic as in the original series and answer the question that follows.
