Answer: A) 244 Explanation: The given number series 22, 26, 42, 78, 142, 244 follows a pattern that, 2222 + 22 = 22 + 4 = 2626 + 42 = 26 + 16 = 4242 + 62 = 42 + 36 = 7878 + 82 = 78 + 64 = 142142 + 102 = 142 + 100 = 242    Hence, the odd one in the given number series is 244.

Answer: A) 278.5 Explanation: The given number series is 35, 36, 55, 111, ? 35 35 x 1 + 1 = 36 36 x 1.5 + 1 = 55 55 x 2 + 1 = 111 111 x 2.5 + 1 = 278.5   Hence, the next number in the given number series is 278.5.
