Series pattern
The elements of the given series are the numbers formed by joining together consecutive add numbers in order
i.e, 1 and 3, 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 7 and 9, 9 and 11,...Correct Option: A
Series pattern
The elements of the given series are the numbers formed by joining together consecutive add numbers in order
i.e, 1 and 3, 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 7 and 9, 9 and 11,...
∴ Missing tern = Number formed by joining 11 and 13 = 1113

Series pattern
62 + 52 = 62 + 25 = 87
87 + 102 = 87 + 100 = 187
187 + 152 = 187 + 225 = 412
412 + 202 = 412 + 400 = 812Correct Option: B
Series pattern
62 + 52 = 62 + 25 = 87
87 + 102 = 87 + 100 = 187
187 + 152 = 187 + 225 = 412
412 + 202 = 412 + 400 = 812
812 + 252 = 812 + 625 = 1437

Let the first term and common term of the AP be a and d respectively.
Then, According to question ,
Sum of 6th and 15th elements = Sum of 7th, 10th and 12th elements
(a + 5d) + (a + 14d) = (a + 6d) + (a + 9d) + (a + 11d)
⇒ 2a + 19d = 3a + 26 dCorrect Option: B

⇒ 2a + 19d = 3a + 26 d
⇒ a + 7d = 0
∴ 8th term is 0.

Series pattern
16 + 12 = 17
Should come in place of 19
Correct Option: A
Series pattern
16 + 12 = 17
Should come in place of 19
17 + 22 = 21 ; 21+ 32 = 30;
30 + 42 = 46 ; 46 + 52 = 71
71 + 62 = 107
Clearly, 19 is wrong and will be replaced by 17.
