158
80
65
74
55
Answer: Option E.
Given series is: 15 27 37 45 51 ?
And the pattern is 27 – 15 = 12, 37 – 27 = 10, 45 – 37 = 8, 51 – 45 = 6.
700 457 376 349 340 ?
266
329
304
337
307
Answer: Option D.
Given series is:
700 457 376 349 340 ?
Pattern is 700 – 457 = 243, 457 – 376 = 81, 376 – 349 = 27, 349 – 340 = 9
Thus, the next term is 340 – 3 = 337
1 2 6 21 88 ?
425
475
295
445
395
Answer: Option D.
Given series is:
1 2 6 21 88 ?
Pattern is 1×1+1= 2
2×2+2= 6
6×3+3=21
21×4+4= 88
88×5+5= 445
So the next term of the series is = 445
19 20 16 25 9 ?
45
55
59
34
81
Answer: Option D.
Given series is:
19 20 16 25 9 ?
Pattern is 19 – 20 = -1
20 – 16 = 4
16 – 25 = -9
25 – 9 = 16
So, next term of the series is = 9 – (-25) = 34
