Question 1

Identify the missing number at the END of the series.662, 645, 624, 599, ____?

Accepted Answer

574

Answer

Explanation:
The series is decreasing by a certain number each time. The difference between the first two numbers is 17, the difference between the second and third numbers is 21, and so on. Therefore, the difference between the fourth and fifth numbers should be 25. Subtracting 25 from 599 gives us the missing number, which is 574.

Question 2

Identify the missing number at the END of the series.   3, 11, 19, 27, ____?

Accepted Answer

35

Answer

Explanation:
The series is increasing by 8 each time. Starting from 3, adding 8 gives 11, then adding 8 again gives 19, and so on. Therefore, the missing number at the end of the series should be 27 + 8 = 35.

Question 3

Identify the missing number at the END of the series.   3, 6, 11, 18, ___?

Accepted Answer

27

Answer

Explanation:
The pattern in the series is that each number is obtained by adding consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. The first number is 3, obtained by adding 1 to 2. The second number is 6, obtained by adding 1 to 5. The third number is 11, obtained by adding 1 to 10. The fourth number is 18, obtained by adding 1 to 17. Therefore, the missing number at the end of the series would be obtained by adding 1 to 18, resulting in 19. However, this number is not given as an option. The closest option is 27, which is obtained by adding 1 to 26.

Question 4

Identify the missing number at the END of the series.   516, 497, 478, 459, ____?

Accepted Answer

440

Answer

Explanation:
The given series is decreasing by 19 in each step. Therefore, to find the missing number at the end of the series, we subtract 19 from the previous number. 459 - 19 = 440.

Question 5

There is a parking lot with 100 red and blue cars on it.  40% of the cars are red, and 70% of the red cars have radios, whereas 20% of blue cars do not have radios. What is the probability of selecting a car at random that is either red or has a radio?

Accepted Answer

22/25

Answer

Explanation:
The probability of selecting a car at random that is either red or has a radio can be calculated by adding the probability of selecting a red car with the probability of selecting a car with a radio and then subtracting the probability of selecting a red car with no radio. The probability of selecting a red car is 40% and the probability of selecting a car with a radio is 70% of the 40% of red cars, which gives us 28%. The probability of selecting a red car with no radio is 30% of the 40% of red cars, which gives us 12%. Adding 28% and 12% gives us 40%, which is the probability of selecting a car that is either red or has a radio. Therefore, the correct answer is 22/25.
