Explanation:
1). D)
The series is x2 + 13, x3 + 23, x4 + 33, x5 + 43, …
ie 3 x 2 +13 = 7,
7 x 3 + 23 = 29,
29 x 4 + 33 = 143,
143 x 5 +43 = 779,
779 x 6 + 53= 4799,
2). C)
The series is x1 + 1, x3 + 2, ×5 + 3, x7 + 4, x9 + 5, x11 + 6,
Ie 4 x 1+1 = 5,
5 x3+2=17,
17 x 5 + 3 = 88,
88 x 7 + 4 = 620,
620 x 9 + 5 = 5585,
3). E)
The series is x2 – 2, x2 + 2, (Alternately repeated)
4). B)
The series is x0.5, x1.5, x2.5, x3.5, …
5). D)
The series is +13, —11, +9, —7, +5, … +13
6). D)
The series is x2 – 4, x2 + 4, (repeated)
7). B)
The series is ×1/2 + 0.5, ×1+1, ×1.5+1.5…..
8). A)
The series is
9). B)
The Series is
10). A)
The series is ×3 – 1, ×3 – 1 (repeated)
7 × 3 = 21 – 1 = 20
20 × 3 = 60 – 1 = 59
59 × 3 = 177 – 1 = 176
176 × 3 = 528 – 1 = 527
527 × 3 = 1581 – 1 = 1580
