A) 80

B) 60

C) 20

D) 10

E) 5

Ans: 2

Solution:

80/2 = 40

40/2 = 20

20/2 = 10

10/2 = 5

5/2 = 2.5

Therefore, 40 should be in place of 60.

Hence, option b.

Question 2: The following numbers form a series. Find the odd one out.

86, 83, 77, 64, 41, -7

A) 64

B) 77

C) 86

D) 83

E) 41

Ans: 1

Solution:

86 – 3 = 83

83 – 6 = 77

77 – 12 = 65

65 – 24 = 41

41 – 48 = -7

Therefore, 65 should be in place of 64.

Hence, option a.

Question 3: The following numbers form a series. Find the odd one out.

9, 10, 14, 23, 40, 64

A) 9

B) 10

C) 14

D) 23

E) None of these

Ans: 5

Solution:

9 + 1² = 9 + 1 = 10

10 + 2² = 10 + 4 = 14

14 + 3² = 14 + 9 = 23

23 + 4² = 23 + 16 = 39

39 + 5² = 39 + 25 = 64

Therefore, 39 should be in place of 40.

Hence, option e.

Question 4: The following numbers form a series. Find the odd one out.

3, 5, 8, 12, 17, 24

Ans: 3

Solution:

3 + 2 = 5

5 + 3 = 8

8 + 4 = 12

12 + 5 = 17

17 + 6 = 23

Therefore, 23 should be in place of 24.

Hence, option c.

E) 15

Ans: 1

Solution:

1 × 2 + 1 = 3

3 × 2 + 1 = 7

7 × 2 + 1 = 15

15 × 2 + 1 = 31

31 × 2 + 1 = 63

Therefore, 31 should be in place of 30.
