Solutions and Detailed Explanation:

1. D 14 × 1.5 + 1 = 22

72 × 2 = 98 22 × 2.5 + 1 = 56

92 × 2 = 162 56 × 3.5 + 1 = 197

112 × 2 = 242 197 × 4.5 + 1 = 887.5

132 × 2 = 338 197 will come in the place of 198.

152 × 2 = 450 3. D

172 × 2 = 578

162 will come in the place of 160.

2. E

26 × 0.5 + 1 = 14

So, 14 will come in place of 16. 1890 + (1890/2) = 2835

4. C 2835 + (2835/2) = 4252.5

(18 + 10) × 2 = 56 Therefore, 2835 should come in the place of 2845

(56 + 20) × 4 = 304 8. C

(304 + 30) × 6 = 2004 124 + (7 × 1 )+ 12 = 143

(2004 + 40) × 8 = 16352 143 + (7 × 2) + 12 = 169

Therefore, 2004 should come in place of 2006. 169 + (7 × 3) + 12 = 202

5. A 202 + (7 × 4) + 12 = 242

15 ÷ 1 = 15 242 + (7 × 5) + 12 = 289

15 × 2 = 30 So, 202 should come in place of 206.

30 ÷ 3 = 10 9. E

10 × 4 = 40 128 + 152 = 353

40 ÷ 5 = 8 353 + 162 = 609

8 × 6 = 48 609 + 172 = 898

Therefore, 8 should come in place of 20. 898 + 182 =1222

6. E 1222 + 192 = 1583

212 + 324 = 536 So, 898 should come in place of 896.

536 + 108 = 644 10. D

644 + 36 = 680

680 + 12 = 692

692 + 4 = 696

7. B
So, 412 should come in place of 416.
560 + (560/2) = 840
11. D
840 + (840/2) = 1260
Series I:
1260 + (1260/2) = 1890
246 – 25 = 221

221 – 25 = 196 15 × 2 + 3 = 33

196 – 25 = 171 33 × 3 + 4 = 103

Series II: 103 × 4 + 5 = 417

236 – 19 = 217 417 × 5 + 6 = 2091

217 – 19 = 198 15. C

198 – 19 = 179 The pattern of the above series is as follows,

So, 196 should come in place of 206. 1071 + 93 – 103 = 800

12. B 800 + 73 – 83 = 631

The pattern of the above series is as follows, 631 + 53 – 63 = 540

50 is multiplied by prime numbers 540 + 33 – 43 = 503

50 × 2 = 100 503 + 13 – 23 = 496

50 × 3 = 150 16. D

50 × 5 = 250 The pattern of the above series is as follows,

50 × 7 = 350 112 + 13 = 113

50 × 11 = 550 113 + 22 = 117

13. C 117 + 33 = 144

The pattern of the above series is as follows, 144 + 42 = 160

64 × 1.5 = 96 160 + 53 = 285

96 × 2.5 = 240 17. C

240 × 3.5 = 840 The pattern is as follows:

840 × 4.5 = 3780 3 x 5 + 6 = 21

3780 × 5.5 = 20790 4 x 6 + 7 = 31

14. A 5 x 7 + 8 = 43

The pattern of the above series is as follows, 6 x 8 + 9 = 57

13 × 1 + 2 = 15 7 x 9 + 10 = 73

168 x 2.0 = 336 28. E

336 x 2.5 = 840 184 + 36 = 220

25. E 220 – 18 = 202

The pattern is as follows: 202 + 36 = 238

122 + (12 + 1) = 124 238 – 18 = 220

124 - (22 + 2) = 118 220 + 36 = 256

118 + (32 + 3) = 130 29. B

130 - (42 + 4) = 110 12 × 2 = 24

110 + (52 + 5) = 140 24 × 4 = 96

140 - (62 + 6) = 98 96 × 6 = 576

26. A 576 × 8 = 4608

The pattern is as follows: 4608 × 10 = 46080

8906 - 46 = 4810 Therefore, 576 should come in place of 572.

So, 152 should come in place of 154. 142 – 1 = 195

41. A 242 – 1 = 575

132 + 13 = 182 342 – 1 = 1155

172 + 17 = 306 442 – 1 = 1935

192 + 19 = 380 542 – 1 = 2915

232 + 23 = 552 Therefore, the series is correct.

292 + 29 = 870 45. C

312 + 31 = 992 120 + 6 = 126

So, 992 should come in place of 994. 126 + 12 = 138

42. B 138 + 24 = 162

125 + 22 = 129 162 + 48 = 210

210 + 96 = 306 120 + 62 = 156

Therefore, 210 should come in place of 220. 156 – 82 = 92

46. A 92 + 102 = 192

4×2=8 Therefore, 120 should come in place of 140.

8 × 3 = 24 49. A

24 × 4 = 96 72 + 2 = 74

96 × 5 = 480 74 + 6 = 80

480 × 6 = 2880 80 + 12 = 92

Therefore, 96 should come in place of 84. 92 + 20 = 112

47. B 112 + 30 = 142

548 – 144 = 404 Therefore, 142 should come in place of 140.

404 – 72 = 332 50. E

332 – 36 = 296 871 – (19 × 9) = 700

296 – 18 = 278 700 – (19 × 8) = 548

278 – 9 = 269 548 – (19 × 7) = 415

Therefore, 296 should come in place of 284. 415 – (19 × 6) = 301

48. D 301 – (19 × 5) = 206

132 + 22 = 136 Therefore, the series is correct.

136 – 42 = 120
