B. 25

Here alternate numbers are forming patterns –
Series 1:  106   52   ?   11.5
Series 2: 84   44   24   14
Series 1:
→ 106
→ 52 = (106 – 2) ÷ 2
→ ? = (52 – 2) ÷ 2,
→ 11.5 = (25 – 2) ÷ 2,
Series 2:
→ 84
→ 44 = (84 ÷ 2) + 2
→ 24 = (44 ÷ 2) + 2,
→ 14 = (24 ÷ 2) + 2,
Thus, the missing number is 25

2.What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?
3  10  32  (?)  460  2315

E. None of these

Show Correct Answers

E. 111

The pattern of given series is:
→ 3,
→ 10 = 3 × 1 + (1 × 7),
→ 32 = 10 × 2 + (2 × 6),
→ ? = 32 × 3 + (3 × 5),
→ ? = 111
→ 460 = 111 × 4 + (4 × 4),
→2315 = 460 × 5 + (5 × 3),
Thus, the missing number is 111
