Q:

Find the sum of the Arithmetic Series upto 36 terms

2, 5, 8, 11,...

A) 3924 B) 1962
C) 1684 D) 1452
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1962

Explanation:

Arithmetic Series ::

 

An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.

 

How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::

 

When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.

 

That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term

 

Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference

 

Now given Arithmetic Series is 

 

2, 5, 8, 11,...

 

Here a1 = 2,  d = 3, n = 36 

 

Now, an= a1 + n - 1d a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107 

 

Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by

 

S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962

 

 

 

Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Explanation:

The given number series 410, 409, 413, 404, ? , follows a pattern that 

410

410 - 13 = 409409 + 22 = 413413 - 33 = 404404 + 42 = 420

 

Hence, the next number in the given series is 420.

180, 90, 60, 40, 36

A) 36 B) 40
C) 60 D) 90
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

The given number series is 180, 90, 60, 40, 36

It follows a pattern that,

180 x 1/2 = 90

90 x 2/3  = 60

60 x 3/4  = 45 (NOT 40)

45 x 4/5  = 36

 

Hence, the wrong number in the given series is 40.

Q:

Find the next number in the given number sequence?

101, 98, 93, 86, 75, ?

A) 62 B) 68
C) 71 D) 73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 62

Explanation:

The given number sequence is 101, 98, 93, 86, 75, ?

101

101 - 3 = 98

98 - 5 = 93

93 - 7 = 86

86 - 11 = 75

75 - 13 = 62

 

Here the series follows a pattern that consecutive subtraction of prime numbers.

 

Hence, the next number in the sequence is 62.
