Q:

What is the next number in the following number series

3, 5, 8, 15, 28, 51, ?

A) 98 B) 102
C) 87 D) 79
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 98

Explanation:

The given number series is 

3, 5, 8, 15, 28, 51, ?

Here the pattern it follows is

3

3 + 2 = 5 ( add prime number less than 3 i.e, 2)

5 + 3 = 8 (3 is prime number less than 5)

8 + 7 = 15 (7 is prime number less than 8)

15 + 13 = 28 (13 is prime number less than 15)

28 + 23 = 51 (23 is prime number less than 28)

51 + 47 = 98 (47 is prime number less than 51)

 

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 98.

4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315.

A) 6 B) 12
C) 81 D) 315
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 81

Explanation:

Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315.

Here it follows a pattern that

4

4 x 1.5 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 2.5 = 30

30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81

90 x 3.5 = 315

 

Hence the odd one in the series is 81.
