Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series: 66, 75, 86, 99, 114, ?
131
The given series is: 66, 75, 86, 99, 114, ?. The difference between consecutive numbers is: 75 - 66 = 9, 86 - 75 = 11, 99 - 86 = 13, 114 - 99 = 15. The difference is increasing by 2 each time. So, the next difference will be 17. Therefore, 114 + 17 = 131. Hence, the correct answer is 131.
Important Questions from Verbal Reasoning
Two sets of numbers are given below. In each set of numbers, certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number result(s) in the second number. Similarly, certain mathematical operation(s) on the second number result(s) in the third number and so on. Which of the given options follows the same set of operations as in the given sets?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 — Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
Given Sets:
17 – 19 – 16 – 20; 22 – 24 – 21 – 25
Select the option that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
OA33, RD36, UG39, XJ42, ?
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 — Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(108, 12, 9)
(114, 19, 6)
Three of the following four options are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)The position of how many letters will remain unchanged if all the letters in the word RICKET are arranged in English alphabetical order?
