Q:

Find the next two numbers in the sequence

4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, ?, ?

A) 36 & 90 B) 90 & 41
C) 45 & 36 D) 41 & 36

Answer:   A) 36 & 90



Explanation:

the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series

First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ??

Second Series : 12,18,26, ??

So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :

 

  • Pattern of Series 1 :

 

6 divide 4 : 1.5

Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2

Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5

So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on

So first series will look like

4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90

 

  • Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??

 

Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12)

Series will be like 12,18,26,36.

 

For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Q:

A man saves Rs. 200 in each of the first three months of his service. In each of the subsequent months his saving increases by Rs. 40 more than the saving of immediately previous month. His total saving from the start of service will be Rs. 11040 after ?

A) 19 months B) 21 months
C) 18 months D) 20 months
 
Answer & Explanation 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] = 546
n = 21
