Bank Clerk Questions

Next number of the sequence 1, 4, 12, 32,...

1 = 2 x 20

4 = 2 x 21

12 = 3 x 22

32 = 4 x 23

80 = 5 x 24.

The given series follows a pattern that,

+4, +6, +8, +10, +12...

5

5 + 4 = 9

9 + 6 = 15

15 + 8 = 23

23 + 10 = 33

33 + 12 = 45

Hence, the missing number in the series is 33.

The point or place of origin of an earthquake is called Focus. 

And,

The point where the seismic waves reach the surface is called as Epicenter.

Here the given series follows a pattern that, multiplying the number with odd numbers in decreasing order starting with 13. That is,

6 × 13 = 78

65 × 11 = 858

858 × 9 = 7722

7722 × 7 = 54054

54054 × 5 = 270270

Hence, the wrong number is 54055

Let the cost price of 1-liter pure milk be Re.1, then 

 6 liters (milk) → C.P = Rs. 62 liters (water) → C.P = Rs. 0→CP = Rs.6 only

8 litre mixture  =>

SP =>  8 x 2 = Rs. 16

Profit % = 16 - 66x100 = 10006 = 166.66%

1 x 1 + 1 x 1 = (1 + 1) = 2

2 x 2 + 2 x 2 = (4 + 4) = 8

8 x 3 + 3 x 3 = (24 + 9) = 33

33 x 4 + 4 x 4 = (132 + 16) = 148

148 x 5 + 5 x 5 = (740 + 25) = 765.

Given series follows the rule of

1050/2.5 = 420
420/2.5 = 168
168/2.5 = 67.2
so 67.2/2.5 = 26.88
