  3. 222.4725

  4. 266.967

  5. 133.483


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This option is right because the given series is based on the following pattern: 750 x 0.75 = 562.5 562.5 x 0.75 = 421.875 421.875 x 0.75 = 316.406 316.406 x 0.75 = 237.304 237.304 x 0.75 = 177.978 ? = 177.978 x 0.75 = 133.483 Hence, 133.483 will replace the question mark.

Directions: In the following question, there is a number series with one term missing. Choose the correct option from the given alternatives that will replace the sign of question mark (?).

-28, -12, 20, 58, 122, 202, ?

  1. 106

  2. 298

  3. 308

  4. 302

  5. 292


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This option is correct because the given series is based on the following pattern: -28 + 16 = -12 -12 + 32 = 20 20 + 48 = 58 58 + 64 = 122 122 + 80 = 202 202 + 96 = 298 Hence, 298 will replace the question mark.

Directions: In the following question, there is a number series with one term missing. Choose the correct option from the given alternatives that will replace the sign of question mark (?).

-1, 4, -27, 256, -3125, 46656, ?

  1. 117649

  2. 2401

  3. -16807

  4. -823543

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is a right option because the given series is based on the following pattern: (-1)1 = 1 (-2)2 = 4 (-3)3 = -27 (-4)4 = 256 (-5)5 = -3125 (-6)6 = 46656 Therefore, ? = (-7)7 = -823543

Hence, - 823543 will replace the question mark.
