Multiply any two members to get next Clearly, the numerators of the given fractions

Double Series. Also, the denominator of each fraction is
12. (E) multiplied by 5 to obtain the denominator
1 × 12 , 3 ×22, 5× 32, 7 × 42, 9 × 52, 11 × 62
of the next fraction. So, the denominator of

18. (B) 34. (A)
Numbers are divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and
19. (B) x2. Thus, the sequence 20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13,
All number are squares except eight 14, 11, x1, x2 is a combination of two series :

 I. 20, 19, 17, 14, x1 and II. 20, 16, 13, Again, in II, 34 must be replaced by (61 –
11, x2. 24) i.e. 37 and 22 by (37 – 18) i.e. 19.
The pattern in I is – 1, – 2, – 3, .... . Thus, in the given series, 27 is wrong and
So, missing term, x1 = 14 – 4 = 10. must be replaced by (5 + 19) i.e. 24.
The pattern in II is – 4, – 3, – 2, .... . 42. (B)
So, missing term, x2 = 11– 1 = 10. The given sequence is a combination of two
35. (B) series:
Each term in the series is obtained by sub- I. M, O, R,V and II. N, L, I, ?

So, missing term = 5242 – 524 = 4718.

36. (C) N  → L  → I  → E
The correct pattern is – 192, – 96, – 48, – 24, So, the missing letter is E.
– 12, – 6. So, 48 is wrong and must be 43. (A)
replaced by (92 – 48) i.e., 44. The series may be divided into groups as
37. (B) shown :
3 is subtracted from each number and the bed/f?h/j?1

So, 46 is wrong and must be replaced by ahead of the first letter. A similar pattern would
follow in the second and third groups.

Thus, the pattern abccab/bcaabc is repeated.

In the first and fourth statements, the com-

is ‘was’. So, ‘lee’ means ‘was’.
