Answer: D) 420 Explanation: The given number series 410, 409, 413, 404, ? , follows a pattern that  410 410 - 13 = 409409 + 22 = 413413 - 33 = 404404 + 42 = 420   Hence, the next number in the given series is 420.

Answer: A) 244 Explanation: The given number series 22, 26, 42, 78, 142, 244 follows a pattern that, 2222 + 22 = 22 + 4 = 2626 + 42 = 26 + 16 = 4242 + 62 = 42 + 36 = 7878 + 82 = 78 + 64 = 142142 + 102 = 142 + 100 = 242    Hence, the odd one in the given number series is 244.

Answer: A) 278.5 Explanation: The given number series is 35, 36, 55, 111, ? 35 35 x 1 + 1 = 36 36 x 1.5 + 1 = 55 55 x 2 + 1 = 111 111 x 2.5 + 1 = 278.5   Hence, the next number in the given number series is 278.5.

Answer: B) 21 months Explanation: Total savings = 200 + 200 + 200 + 240 + 280 + ... to n months = 11040 = 120 + 80 + 160 + 40 + 200 + 240 + ....n terms= 40 + 80 + 120 + 160 + 200 + 240 + ...n terms= n/2[2a + (n-1)d] + 80 + 40 = 11040= n/2[240 + (n-1)40] = 10920= n[6+n-1] = 546= n[n+5] = 546n = 21

Answer: A) 148 Explanation: 1 x 1 + 1 x 1 = (1 + 1) = 2 2 x 2 + 2 x 2 = (4 + 4) = 8 8 x 3 + 3 x 3 = (24 + 9) = 33 33 x 4 + 4 x 4 = (132 + 16) = 148 148 x 5 + 5 x 5 = (740 + 25) = 765.
