All About Number Series

What is Number Series?

Number series is a arrangement of numbers in a certain order, where some numbers are wrongly put into the series of numbers and some number is missing in that series,

 we need to observe and find the accurate number to the series of numbers.

In competitive exams number series are given and where you need to find missing numbers. 

The number series are come in different types.

 At first you have to decided what type of series are given in papers then according with this you have to use shortcut tricks as fast as you can .

Different types of Number Series

There are some format of series which are given in Exams.

Perfect Square Series:

This Types of Series are based on square of a number which is in same order and one square number is missing in that given series.

Example 1: 441, 484, 529, 576?

Answer: 441 = 21², 484 = 22², 529 = 23², 576 = 24² , 625 = 25².

Perfect Cube Series: 

This Types of Series are based on cube of a number which is in same order and one cube number is missing in that given series

Example 2: 1331, 1728, 2197, ?

Answer : 11³ ,  12³ ,  13³ ,  14³ 

Geometric Series:

This type of series are based on ascending or descending order of numbers .

and each successive number is obtain by multiplying or dividing the previous number with a fixed number.

Example 3: 5, 45, 405, 3645,?

Answer: 5 x 9 = 45, 45 x 9 = 405, 405 x 9 = 3645, 3645 x 9 = 32805.

Two stage Type Series:

A two tier Arithmetic series is one in which the differences of successive numbers themselves form an arithmetic series.

Example 4: i. 3, 9, 18, 35, 58,——

ii. 6, 9, 17, 23,———-

Mixed Series:

This type of series are more than one different order are given in a series which arranged in alternatively in a single series-
 or created according to any non-conventional rule. This mixed series Examples are describes in separately.

Examples 5: 

11, 24, 50, 102, 206, ?

Answer: 

11 x 2 = 22 +2 = 24,

24 x 2 = 48 + 2 = 50,

50 x 2 = 100 + 2 = 102,

102 x 2 = 204 + 2 = 206,

206 x 2 = 412 + 2 = 414.

So the missing number is 414.

Answers with Explanation:-

1.     (A)
The given series is : 1³ – 1, 2³ – 2, 3³ – 3, 4³ – 4, 5³ – 5, 6³ – 6,
So the missing term = 7³ – 7 = 343 – 7 = 336 .

2.    (D)
The pattern is + 3, + 5, + 3, + 5, …………
So the missing term is = 30 + 5 = 35 .

3.    (A)
The pattern is + 6, + 9, + 12, +15 ………..
So the missing term is = 21 + 12 = 33 .

4.    (C)
The pattern is +4, +8, +16, +32, +64
So the missing term is = 30 + 16 = 46 .

5.    (B)

5 x 11 = 55, 55 x 11 = 605, 605 x 11 = 6655, 6655 x 11 = 73205

6.    (A)

25 x 4 = 100, 100 x 4 = 400, 400 x 4 = 1600, 1600 x 4 = 6400.

7.    (A)

 125 = 5³ , 216 = 6³, 343 = 7³, 512 = 8³, 729 = 9³, 1000 = 10³.

8.    (B)

 1³ , 3³ , 5³ , 7³ , 9³ , 11³

Q11. Lower winter temperatures were common in Europe during the second half of the 17th century, famously allowing frost fairs to be held on the frozen Thames in London before riverine developments increased the flow rate. These cold winters coincided with the Maunder minimum in solar activity when the Sun remained virtually free of sunspots for almost 50 years. However, establishing that this was not just a chance occurrence requires that the relationship continue to hold over a long interval, such that cold European winters become less frequent when solar activity is high and then more common again when solar activity falls. Various indicators show that during the recent minimum of the 11 year sunspot cycle, the Sun has been quieter than at any time in the previous 90 years.

(a) This means that solar activity during the current sunspot minimum has fallen to levels unknown since the start of the 20th century.

(b) This yields an opportunity for a better test of the relationship between solar activity and cold European winters.

(c) This proves that cold winters occur more commonly in the UK during low solar activity.

(d) This regional and seasonal effect relating to European winters may have a global effect.

(e) None of the above

A disabled baby needs more nappies. Families’ ability to work grows difficult, and finding childcare is a real burden. Households with disabled children will depend more on social security benefits and are faced with the additional financial costs associated with caring for a disabled child.

(b) The highest prevalence of childhood disability is found in the poorest families.

(c) It is an adverse and serious social gradient that families with disabled face.

(d) But thanks to science, these children live longer and medicines keep them alive.

Q13.What a super film experience Green Zone is! From the firecracker opening to the sucker-punch climax, the film is a non-stop adrenalin rush. The hand-held camera and natural light make you feel as if you are seeing the action from the front, as if you have access to footage shot from a sniper’s sights. Whether it is a Bourne-in-Baghdad kind of relentless action thriller or a strong statement against the U.S. war in Iraq, (incidentally, it is both) Green Zone succeeds as a pure cinema, delivering thrills, spills and chills in breathless succession hardly giving anyone time to breathe.

S10. Ans.(c) 

Sol.  Gandhiji expected to bring them respect by calling them the children of God.

S11. Ans.(b)

Sol. “...establishing that this was not just a chance occurrence requires that the relationship continue to hold over a long interval...” is the crux of the paragraph. Hence the sun being “quiet” is an opportunity to find this correlation. Options (C) and (D) can be very easily eliminated as not related to the purpose of the paragraph. Option (A) is true, is an inference not related to the purpose of the paragraph.

S12. Ans.(c)

Sol. This statement is a very low level inference that logically closes the paragraph. The paragraph is not sufficient to establish the link as in option (A). Option (B) goes farther away from the paragraph. Option (D) is unrelated to the purpose of the paragraph.

S13. Ans.(b)

Sol. All options may appear correct. The scoring option, however, has to close the paragraph, andnot merely continue it. Option (A) will be repetitive. Options (C) and (D) will continue the paragraph.

S14. Ans.(c)

Sol. The purpose of the paragraph is in the first sentence - “can ill-afford to resign to their fate.” Option (A) is already clearly stated-it just states the same thing in different words. Option (B) takes off on a tangent and brings in leadership; option (D) also does not close the paragraph. Option (C) just does that-the paragraph has no loose ends.

S15. Ans.(c)

Sol. The purpose of the paragraph is: Philosophers consider popular and serious music different. The former lacks complexity and autonomy, the later is variations on a single them-and that popular music is inferior. “As a result” will discuss its direct consequences and close the paragraph. Hence option (C) scores. Option (A) is stated. Option (B) is irrelevant in “replace” and “folk music”. Option (D) is irrelevant in “our response.”
