BANK & INSURANCE (MISSING NUMBER SERIES PART 1)

Total Questions: 50

31. 32, 64, 72, 144, 152, ?

Correct Answer: (c) 304
Solution:

Alternate ×2 and +8: 32×2=64, +8=72, ×2=144, +8=152, ×2=304.

32. 2, 19, ?, 63, 92, 127

Correct Answer: (d) 39
Solution:

Differences: +17, +20, +24, +29, +35 where increments are +3, +4, +5, +6. So ? = 19 + 20 = 39.

33. 112, 118, 130, 148, ?, 202

Correct Answer: (a) 172
Solution:

Differences: +6, +12, +18, +24, +30 (increase by 6). So ? = 148 + 24 = 172.

34. 14, 18, 27, 43, 68, ?

Correct Answer: (b) 104
Solution:

Differences: +4, +9, +16, +25 = 2²,3²,4²,5². Next +6²=36 ⇒ ? = 68 + 36 = 104.

35. 11, 12, 23, 35, 58, 93, ?

Correct Answer: (c) 151
Solution:

Each term is sum of previous two: 11+12=23, 12+23=35, 23+35=58, 35+58=93. Next = 58+93=151.

36. 157, 166, 182, 207, ?, 292

Correct Answer: (d) 243
Solution:

Add consecutive squares: +3²=9, +4²=16, +5²=25, +6²=36, +7²=49. So ? = 207 + 36 = 243.

37. 34, 48, 76, ?, 244, 468

Correct Answer: (a) 132
Solution:

Differences double: +14, +28, +56, +112, +224. So ? = 76 + 56 = 132.

38. 234, ?, 201, 168, 124, 69

Correct Answer: (b) 223
Solution:

Subtract multiples of 11: −11, −22, −33, −44, −55. So second term = 234 − 11 = 223 (and 223−22=201 etc.).

39. 17, 21, 12, 28, ?, 39

Correct Answer: (c) 3
Solution:Let's analyze:

17 + 4 = 21

21 - 9 = 12

12 + 16 = 28

28 - 25 = 3

3 + 36 = 39

Pattern: Alternating additions and subtractions with increasing values (4, 9, 16, 25, 36 are squares)

So, the missing number is: 3

40. 17, 9, 10, ?, 35, 90

Correct Answer: (d) 16.5
Solution:Let's analyze:

17 × 0.5 + 0.5 = 9

9 × 1 + 1 = 10

10 × 1.5 + 1.5 = 16.5

16.5 × 2 + 2 = 35

35 × 2.5 + 2.5 = 90

So, the missing number is: 16.5
