Question 14

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark
(?) in the following series.
82, 105, 136, 177, 224, 283, ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive terms are 23, 31, 41, 47, 59. These are prime numbers. The next prime number after 59 is 61. So, 283 + 61 = 344.

Question 15

Study the given pattern carefully and select the number from among the given options
that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
18 24 19
7 8 9
8 11 14
17 ? 14

Accepted Answer

Observe the pattern in each column. In the first column, 18 - 7 + 8 = 19. In the third column, 19 - 9 + 14 = 24. Applying the same logic to the second column, 24 - 8 + 11 = 27. However, the given options do not include 27. Let's re-examine the pattern. The pattern is (First number - Second number) * 2 + Third number = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 - 7) * 2 + 8 = 11 * 2 + 8 = 22 + 8 = 30. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Third number) - Second number = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 + 8) - 7 = 26 - 7 = 19. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Second number + Third number) / 2 = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 + 7 + 8) / 2 = 33 / 2 = 16.5. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Second number - Third number) * 2 = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 + 7 - 8) * 2 = 17 * 2 = 34. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number - Second number + Third number) = Fourth number. In the first column: 18 - 7 + 8 = 19. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Second number + Third number) - 16 = Fourth number. In the first column: 18 + 7 + 8 - 16 = 33 - 16 = 17. This works for the first column. In the third column: 19 + 9 + 14 - 16 = 42 - 16 = 26. This is not 14. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Third number) - Second number = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 + 8) - 7 = 26 - 7 = 19. This is not 17. Let's try another pattern. The pattern is (First number + Second number) - Third number = Fourth number. In the first column: (18 + 7) - 8 = 25 - 8 = 17. This works for the first column. In the third column: (19 + 9) - 14 = 28 - 14 = 14. This works for the third column. Applying this pattern to the second column: (24 + 8) - 11 = 32 - 11 = 21. So the missing number is 21.
