3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

A) 14 B) 36
C) 67 D) 113

Explanation:

Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

It follows a pattern that

3

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168

 

Hence, the wrong number is 67.

Q:

Question :

What is the sum which earned interest ?

Statements :

a. The total simple interest was Rs. 9000 after 9 years.
b. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 6 years.

A) Only a is sufficient B) Neither a nor b is sufficient
C) Only b is sufficient D) Both a and b sufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x

a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years.

b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum

--> Sum = S.I for 6 years.


Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000

S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000.

S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000.

--> x = Rs. 6000

Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.

Q:

Find the missing term in the following series ?

10000, 11000, 9900, 10890, ?, 10781

A) 10423 B) 9801
C) 10241 D) 9712
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9801

Explanation:

Clearly, alternatively we add and subtract 10% of a term to obtain the next term of the series.
Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000;
11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900;
 9900 + (10% of 9900)  = 10890;
10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801.
 9801 + (10% of 9801)  = 9801+980 = 10781.
So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.
