Answer 1

Answer:

The best way of approaching number series questions is to observe the difference between various terms. If we see a constant difference, then it’s a constant difference series. If the difference is decreasing or increasing by a constant number , then it is a series of type 2 or type 3. But if there is no such increase or decrease in the difference, then try dividing the 2nd term with the first, third with the second and so on. If you obtain the same number each time, then it is a product series.

Also , if none of these seem to work, then you can try writing each term as a product of two factors and try to see if there is any pattern. If you still observe no pattern and the difference is increasing or decreasing rapidly, then try to look for square/ cube series.

If the difference is increasing and decreasing in some fixed manner, then it is a type of combination series.
