INTRODUCTION
Questions on series are relatively easy as these are based on certain pattern (increasing or decreasing) & require only
elementary calculations.
If you apply a structured approach (discussed below), you may take roughly ½ minute/question. But if you approach
these questions without a step by step process, series questions may confuse you.
SERIES PATTERNS
19 30 44 67 117 ? slow increasing

series in Primarily, why numbers in a series show Fast decrease- Solved example
decreasing decreasing order?
order 1. If you subtract something to successive
numbers of a series. in this case you get
Mixed kind Mixed series means a series showing both increasing & deceasing trend at the same time.Mixed series
of series. can be in two ways
1st MIXstartMixed character at the start of
series and after that showing a increasing or
decreasing trend. Why it is so?
It happens generally if we start multiplying
numbers in a series with a multiplying factor
less than 1(<1) . see the example – as
multiplying factor becomes more than 1 series
starts showing increasing trend.
2nd MIXcontinous-Mixed character continuously
in the whole series. It is simply a case of
