2676, 445, ?, 21,6, 2, 1

A) 88 B) 92
C) 96 D) 102
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 88

Explanation:

The given number series 2676, 445, ?, 21,6, 2, 1 follows a pattern that,

From right side,

1

1 x 1 + 1 = 2

2 x 2 + 2 = 6

6 x 3 + 3 = 21

21 x 4 + 4 = 88

88 x 5 + 5 = 445

445 x 6 + 6 = 2676

 

Hence the missing number in the given number series is 88.

Q:

Fact 1: All hats have brims.
Fact 2: There are black hats and blue hats.
Fact 3: Baseball caps are hats.

If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I. All caps have brims.
II. Some baseball caps are blue.
III. Baseball caps have no brims.

A) I only B) II only
C) I, II, and III D) None of the statements is a fact.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is a fact.

Explanation:

All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). This rules out statement III—but it doesn’t follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black.

Q:

Pick the odd man out of the folowing number sequence?

123 112 133 112 143

A) 143 B) 122
C) 133 D) 112
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 122

Explanation:

Here the given series is 123 112 133 112 143

It follows a pattern that,

123

123 - 11 = 112

112 + 21 = 133

133 - 31 = 102 (not 122)

102 + 41 = 143

 

Hence, the odd man in the given number sequence is 122 instead of 102.
