C) 67 D) 113

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

38, 195, ?, 4905, 24530, 122655

A) 980 B) 885
C) 824 D) 1021
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 980

Explanation:

The given series follows the pattern that,

 

×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5

 

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

 

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

 

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

 

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

 

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

 

So the missing number is 980 .
