  • B 60 70
  • C 60 75
  • D 60 65
Answer: Option
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series, in which 10 is added, then 5, then 10, and so on.
Q32
which pair of numbers comes next. 40 40 31 31 22 22 13
  • A 13 4
  • B 13 5
  • C 4 13
  • D 9 4

Q33
which pair of numberscomes next. 17 17 34 20 20 31 23
  • A 26 23
  • B 34 20
  • C 23 33
  • D 27 28
Answer: Option
Explanation: This is an alternating subtraction series with repetition. There are two different patterns here. In the first, a number repeats itself; then 3 is added to that number to arrive at the next number, which also repeats. This gives the series 17, 17, 20, 20, 23, and so on. Every third number follows a second pattern, in which 3 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next: 34, 31, 28.
Q34
which pair of numberscomes next. 2 3 4 5 6 4 8
  • A 9 10
  • B 4 8
  • C 10 4
  • D 9 4
Answer: Option D
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series with a random number, 4, interpolated as every third number. In the main series, 1 is added, then 2 is added, then 1, then 2, and so on.
Q35
which pair of numberscomes next. 61 57 50 61 43 36 61
  • A 29 61
  • B 27 20
  • C 31 61
  • D 22 15
Answer: Option
Explanation: This is an alternating repetition series, in which a random number, 61, is interpolated as every third number into an otherwise simple subtraction series. Starting with the second number, 57, each number (except 61) is 7 less than the previous number.
Q36

  • A 28 32
  • B 28 22
  • C 22 28
  • D 32 36
Answer: Option C
Explanation: This is an alternating repetition series, with a random number, 22, interpolated as every third number into an otherwise simple addition series. In the addition series, 4 is added to each number to arrive at the next number.
Q38
which pair of numberscomes next. 6 20 8 14 10 8 12
  • A 14 10
  • B 2 18
  • C 4 12
  • D 2 14
Answer: Option D
Explanation: This is an alternating addition and subtraction series. In the first pattern, 2 is added to each number to arrive at the next; in the alternate pattern, 6 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next.
Q39
which pair of numberscomes next. 11 16 21 26 31 36 41
  • A 47 52
  • B 46 52

  • C 25 29
  • D 24 21
Answer: Option B
Explanation: This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 21, interpolated as every third number. The addition series alternates between adding 3 and adding 4. The number 21 appears after each number arrived at by adding 3.
