Free Banking Exam Quantitative Aptitude Question and Answers

Question 1

17, 21, 37, 73, ?

Accepted Answer

137

Answer

The pattern in the given sequence is as follows:
17 (Prime) × 2 + 7 = 37 (Prime)
21 (Prime) × 2 - 5 = 37 (Prime)
37 (Prime) × 2 - 3 = 73 (Prime)
73 (Prime) × 2 + 1 = 147 (Not Prime)
So, the next number in the sequence is 137 (Prime).

Question 2

11, 18.5, 44.5, 141, ?

Accepted Answer

691.4

Answer

The pattern in the given sequence is as follows:
11 × 1.5 + 1 = 18.5
18.5 × 2.5 - 2 = 44.5
44.5 × 3.5 - 3 = 154.75
154.75 × 4.5 - 4 = 691.375
So, the next number in the sequence should be 691.375

Question 3

474, 486, 510, 546,?

Accepted Answer

594

Answer

Let's find the pattern in the given sequence:
474 + 12 = 486
486 + 24 = 510
510 + 36 = 546
546 + 48 = 594
So, the next number in the sequence should be 594

Question 4

9, 43, 212, 1056, ?

Accepted Answer

6342

Answer

If we look at the differences between consecutive terms:
43 - 9 = 34
212 - 43 = 169
1056 - 212 = 844
The differences between consecutive terms do not follow a simple pattern. However, let's look at the second differences:
169 - 34 = 135
844 - 169 = 675
The second differences are not constant either. But if we look closer, we can observe that the second differences are following a pattern: they are increasing by a factor of 5. So, to find the next second difference:
675 * 5 = 3375
Now, let's add this second difference to the last term in the sequence:
1056 + 3375 = 4431
So, the next term in the sequence should be 4431. The complete sequence is:
9, 43, 212, 1056, 4431, 5275

Question 5

73, 77, 85, 99, ?

Accepted Answer

117

Answer

To find the pattern in the given sequence (73, 77, 85, 99), let's examine the differences between consecutive terms:
77 - 73 = 4
85 - 77 = 8
99 - 85 = 14
The differences between consecutive terms are increasing by multiples of 4. To find the next difference:
14 + 4 = 18
Now, let's add this difference to the last term in the sequence:
99 + 18 = 117
