Verbal Reasoning - Series Completion

The pattern is x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4,.....

So, missing term = 24 x 5 = 120.

Let the missing terms of the series be x₁ and x₂.

Thus, the sequence 2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, x₁ x₂ is a combination of two series :

I. 2, 4, 6, x₁ and II. 15, 12, 7, x₂I consists of consecutive even numbers.

So, missing term, x₁ = 8.

The pattern in II is - 3, - 5,......So, missing term, x₂ = 7 - 7 = 0.

The pattern is + 1008.

So, missing term - 6848 + 1008 = 7856.

Each term in the series is obtained by subtracting from the preceding term the number

formed by the first three digits of the preceding term.

So, missing term = 5242 - 524 = 4718.

Each term in the series, except the first two terms, is the product of the preceding two terms.

So, missing term = 16 x 128 = 2048.
