Answer: B) 32 Explanation: Here the given series follows a pattern that, 22 - 0 = 4   32 - 1 = 8   42 - 2 = 14 52 - 3 = 22 62 - 4 = 32 Hence, the missing number is 32     Method 2 :: The difference between 4 and 8 is 4, the difference between 8 and 14 is 6, the difference between 14 and 22 is 8. So the next difference between 22 and the next number will be 10 since it follows (4,6,8,10 - add +2 each time) Hence, 22 + 10 = 32 is the missing number.

Answer: D) 133 Explanation: Here among the given numbers, 3, 19, 67 are prime numbers. And 133 is not a prime number.   Hence, the odd number of the given numbers is 133.

Answer: A) 23 Explanation: The given number series 2, 19, 0, 21, –2, ? follows a pattern, 2 2 + 17 = 19 19 - 19 = 0 0 + 21 = 21 21 - 23 = -2 -2 + 25 = 23   Hence, the next number in the series is 23.

Answer: C) 81 Explanation: The series follows the following pattern.   4   16 = 42   37 = 12+62   58 = 32+72   81 ≠52+82.   Here every number is based on the digits of previous number. Hence, 81 is the wrong number in the given series.

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.
