Answer & Solutions for Number Series Questions for SBI PO PDF:
1) Answer (E)
Prime numbers starting from 7 are added.
11 + 7 = 18
18 + 11 = 29
29 + 13 = 42
42 + 17 = 59
59 + 19 = 78
78 + 23 = 101
Hence, the number which is wrong is 80, as it is not in the options given, the correct answer is None of the above.
2) Answer (D)
The pattern followed is :
2 × 1 + (1 × 7) = 9
9 × 2 + (2 × 6) = 30
30 × 3 + (3 × 5) = 105
105 × 4 + (4 × 4) = 436
436 × 5 + (5 × 3) = 2195
2195 × 6 + (6 × 2) = 13182
3) Answer (B)
Consecutive odd numbers starting from 11 in decreasing order are multiplied.
5 × 11 = 55
55 × 9 = 495
495 × 7 = 3465
3465 × 5 = 17325
17325 × 3 = 51975
51975 × 1 = 51975
4) Answer (A)
Squares of natural numbers are added.
3 $+ 2^2$ = 7
7 $+ 3^2$ = 16
16 $+ 4^2$ = 32
32 $+ 5^2$ = 57
57 $+ 6^2$ = 93
93 $+ 7^2$ = 142
5) Answer (C)
The pattern followed is :
4 × 1 + 1 = 5
5 × 2 + 2 = 12
12 × 3 + 3 = 39
39 × 4 + 4 = 160
160 × 5 + 5 = 805
805 × 6 + 6 = 4836
6) Answer (A)
Each number is divided by 2 and then 1 is subtracted.
158 ÷ 2 − 1 = 78
78 ÷ 2 − 1 = 38
38 ÷ 2 − 1 = 18
18 ÷ 2 − 1 = 8
8 ÷ 2 − 1 = 3
7) Answer (A)
The pattern is :
16 + 3 = 19
19 + 5 (= 3 + 2) = 24
24 + 9 (= 5 + 4) = 33
33 + 17 (= 9 + 8) = 50
50 + 33 (= 17 + 16) = 83
8) Answer (A)
The pattern followed is :
402 − (1 × 2) = 400
400 − (3 × 4) = 388
388 − (5 × 6) = 358
358 − (7 × 8) = 302
302 − (9 × 10) = 212
9) Answer (B)
The pattern followed is :
31 × 0.5 − 0.5 = 15
15 × 1.5 − 1.5 = 21
21 × 2.5 − 2.5 = 50
50 × 3.5 − 3.5 = 171.5
171.5 × 4.5 − 4.5 = 767.25
10) Answer (C)
The pattern followed is :
8 × 1 − 2.5 = 5.5
5.5 × 2 − 2.5 = 8.5
8.5 × 3 − 2.5 = 23
23 × 4 − 2.5 = 89.5
89.5 × 5 − 2.5 = 445
