There are two arithmetic progression series,

With 353,351,349… having a difference of -2

and 354, 356… having a difference of 2

Hence, the required term is 358

The generalized formula for nth term is, previous term + 2^n

Here the required term is 5th in the series.

Hence, 29 + 2^5 = 61

For the series the nth term is ‘last term + 12*(n-1)’

In the series, we are required to find, 6th term.

Hence, 6th term is 165+12*(5) = 225.

Here, each sucessive nth term is ‘previous term + (n-1)³’

We are supposed to find 6th term.

Hence, 6th term = 117 + (6-1)^3 = 117 + 125 = 242

The given series is Arithmetic Progression with common difference $\frac{1}{4}$.

Hence, the next term will be $1\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = 2

The given series is based on the following sequence,

(12+1)*0.5 = 6.5

(6.5+1)*1 = 7.5

(7.5+1)*1.5=12.75

(12.75+1)*2 = 27.5

(27.5+1)*2.5 = 71.25

(71.25+1)*3 = 216.75

Each number in the series is 1.5 times the preceding number.

Hence, 16*1.5 = 24

24*1.5 = 36

36*1.5 = 54

54*1.5=81

81*1.5 = 121.5

So, the next number is 121.5*1.5 = 182.25

The ratio between preceding terms of the sequence are in a fibonacci sequence.

For example, 12/12 = 1

18/12 = 1.5

45/18 = 2.5 (which is 1+1.5)

180/45 = 4 (which is 1.5+2.5)

1170/180 = 6.5 (which is 2.5+4)

Hence, the next ratio would be 4+6.5=10.5

And the required number is 1170*10.5 = 12285

The difference between consecutive terms of the series is a perfect square.

For example,

23-22 = 1

27-23 = 4

36-27 = 9

52-36 = 16

77-52 = 25

Hence, the next difference between the numbers will be 36 and the required number is 77+36 = 113

The given terms are in the following series,

14 = 16*1 – 2*1

24 = 14*2 – 2*2

66 = 24*3 – 2*3

256 = 66*4 – 2*4

1270 = 66*5 – 2*5

Hence, the next term equals 1270*6 – 2*6 = 7608

In the given series, nth term is obtained by – (Previous term/(n-1) ) +(n-1).

Hence the 5th term should be (604/4)+4 = 155.

However 5th term is given as 154.
Hence, 154 is wrong term in the given series.

In this question, the nth term is obtained by (previous term*n + n^2).

Hence, after 12, the number would be (12*3+9)= 45

Therefore, the correct option is 45.

Here the consecutive difference between the terms is incremented by 2 for the series.

Hence, after 2, the number should be 6.

Here the sucessive numbers are multiplied by  .5,1.5.2.5….

Hence, in place of 65 the number should be 24*2.5=60.

Therefore, the incorrect number for series is 65.
