6, 24, 60, 120, 210?
A.  240
C.  336
B.  290

Ans : C. Clearly the given series is 13 - 1 ,23 - 1 ,33 - 3.i.e next number is (73 - 7=343) (343 -7 =336).
2.How many terms are there in the series
210, 208, 215, . . 369?
A. 23
C. 25
B. 24
D. 26
Ans : C. The given series in an A.P in which a=201  and d=7.
3.Which number would replace question mark in the series
7, 12, 19,. . 39
A.  28
C.  45
B.  32
D.  38

A.  10
C.  12
B.  11
D.  13
Ans : D. The given sequence is a combination of two series 1,3,7, . . 21  and 3,6,9, .  .The pattern followed is 1 is 2+4 and pattern 2 is +3.Thus, missing number =7+6=13.
5.In the series 357, 363, 369, . . what will be the 10th term?
A.  405
C.  413
B.  411
D.  417
Ans : B. The given series is an A.P in which a =357 and d= 6.[a+(10 - 1)d] [a+9d =(357 +9 x6)] =(357 + 54) =411.
