SECTION 2 — 🔢 Number & Pattern Logic
Q1 Find the next number:
3, 8, 15, 24, 35, ?
A) 42
B) 46
C) 48
D) 50
Q2 Find the next number:
4, 13, 40, 121, ?
A) 242
B) 364

Q3 What should come in place of question mark(?)
7, 14, 28, 56, ?

B) 112
C) 124
D) 108
Q4 Select the odd one out.
A) 16
B) 64
C) 125
D) 216
Answers
1️⃣ C) 48
Pattern:
+5, +7, +9, +11, +13
2️⃣ B) 364
Pattern:
×3 +1 repeatedly
4 → 13
13 → 40
40 → 121
121 → 364
3️⃣ B) 112
Each number is multiplied by 2.
7 × 2 = 14
14 × 2 = 28
28 × 2 = 56
56 × 2 = 112
4️⃣ B) 64
16 = 2⁴
125 = 5³
216 = 6³
Only 64 = 4³ does not follow the same increasing-number cube pattern.
