Find the missing term in each of the following:

(15)

[A] 25
[B] 36
[C] 49
[D] 64
Answer: Option [B]
Solution:

[(5 - 3) + (5 - 2)]2 = [2 + 3]2 = 25

Hence, missing term = [(7 - 2) + (4 - 3)]2 = [5 + 1]2 = 36

(16)

[A] 10
[B] 9
[C] 8
[D] 7
Answer: Option [C]

Solution:

(6 × 2) + 1 = 13

(9 × 2) + 1 = 19

Hence, missing number = (8 × 2) + 1 = 17

(17)

[A] 23
[B] 26
[C] 20
[D] 29
Answer: Option [A]

Solution:

7 × (7 - 1) = 42 ⇒ 42 + 3 = 45

4 × (4 - 1) = 12 ⇒ 12 + 3 = 15

6 × (6 - 1) = 30 ⇒ 30 + 3 = 33

8 × (8 - 1) = 56 ⇒ 56 + 3 = 59

3 × (3 - 1) = 6 ⇒ 6 + 3 = 9

Hence, missing number = 5 × (5 - 1) = 20 ⇒ 20 + 3 = 23

(18)

[A] 130
[B] 142
[C] 128
[D] 138
Answer: Option [D]

Solution:

(111 + 25) - (43 + 35) = 136 - 78 = 58

So, the missing term = (48 + 180) - (34 + 56) = 228 - 90 = 138

(19)

[A] 18
[B] 36
[C] 86
[D] 96
Answer: Option [B]

Solution:

We have (6 - 4)2 = 22 = 4

(8 - 5)2 = 32 = 9

(9 - 2)2 = 72 = 49

So, the missing number = (12 - 6)2 = 62 = 36
