Direction: In each of the following questions a number series is given. A number is given after the series and then (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) are given. According to the given series, you have to form a new series which begins with the given number, and then answer the question asked.
-
10 11 15 24 40 6 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) What will come in place of (c) ?
-
- 14
- 13
- 12
- 10
- None of these
Correct Option: E
As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
First series :-
First term = 10
Second term = First term + 12
⇒ Second term = 10 + 12 = 10 + 1 = 11
Third term = Second term + 22
⇒ Third term = 11 + 22 = 11 + 4 = 15
similarly , we can find the all others terms .
Second series :-
First term = 6
Second term = First term + 12
⇒ Second term = 6 + 12 = 6 + 1 = 7
Third term = Second term + 22
⇒ Third term = 7 + 22 = 7 + 4 = 11
Fourth term = Third term + 32
⇒ Fourth term = 11 + 32 = 11 + 9 = 20
Hence , the place value of ( c ) is 20 .
