Numerical series tests are a type of numerical aptitude test which require you to find the missing number in a sequence. This missing number may be at the beginning or middle but is usually at the end. In Numerical ability test, numbers are used in a particu\u252c\u00a1lar pattern in order to form a series. Your task, here is to find out the pattern with which the numbers form a se\u252c\u00a1ries and on that basis to fill up the missing numbers. There are various patterns to form a number series. Let us examine some common series.
Simple series<\/p>\n

1. Addition or Subtraction<\/strong>
a) Even numbers<\/em>
Eg.(l) 2,6,12,20,30,42,-,-Answer is 56,72 – can be obtained by adding even num\u252c\u00a1bers 4,6,8,10,12,14,16
b) Odd numbers.<\/em>
Eg.(l) 60,59,56,51,44, -, -Answer is 35,24 – can be obtained bysubtracting odd numbers 1,3,5,7,9,11,\u0393\u00c7\u00aa.
c) Prime numbers<\/em>
(Prime Number is a positive number ( >0 ) that is divisible only by 1 and itself. )Eg.(l) 2,3,5,8,13,20,-,-Answer: 31,44 – can be obtained by adding prime num\u252c\u00a1bers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 etc.<\/p>\n

2. Divide the number to get the next one.<\/strong>
Eg: 64, 32, 16,8, -,- Answer: 4, 2 is obtained by going on dividing by 2.<\/p>\n

3. Ascending \/Descending order:<\/strong>
The series may be in ascending or in descending orderEg: 10,8,6.4,-
Answer: 2
Take the square root of the number to get the next one.
Eg: 65536, 256,16, -,-
Answer: 4, 2.<\/p>\n

4. Take the square root of the number to get the next one.<\/strong>
Eg: 65536, 256,16, -,-
Answer: 4, 2.<\/p>\n

More Complex structures<\/strong>
Sometimes many series are operated together; insuch a case examine each one separately.
Eg: 5, 8, 6, 10.7. 12, 8,-,-
Answer: 14, 9- Two series are here; one series is 5,6,7,8,(next number -9) and the other is 8,10,12,(next number -14)<\/p>\n

Here you can see another complex series.<\/strong>
3, 6, 11, 18, –
The interval, beginning with 3, increases by 2 each time so the next will be 27.<\/p>\n

Another example:
How many six are there in the following series which are immediately either precede by 4 or followed by 7 ?
3129647646729764467
Choices: 1,2,3,4
This is really twisting .But so simple if analysed closely. First pick only six and check whether it precede by 4 or followed by 7. Yes the answer is 2.<\/p>\n
