Question

In the series 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, ....... which of the following will NOT be a number of the series?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
434

To determine which number will not be part of the given series, we first need to understand the pattern followed by the series. The series given is:

11, 19, 27, 35, 43, ...

Let's analyze the difference between consecutive numbers in the series:

  • 19 - 11 = 8
  • 27 - 19 = 8
  • 35 - 27 = 8
  • 43 - 35 = 8

It is evident that this is an arithmetic progression with a common difference (\(d\)) of 8. The formula for the nth term (\(a_n\)) of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

\(a_n = a + (n-1) \cdot d\)

where \(a\) is the first term, and \(d\) is the common difference. Here, \(a = 11\) and \(d = 8\).

We need to check which of the given options cannot be a term in the sequence. Plugging the nth term equation:

\(a_n = 11 + (n-1) \cdot 8\)

We solve for \(n\) to see if it results in a positive integer:

  • For 434:
  • For 107:
  • For 307:
  • For 195:

Therefore, the only option that is not a part of the series is 434.
