       Mathematical-Reasoning       Series-Test
Question 7 Explanation: 
The difference is 6, 18, 36, 60.
These are multiples of 6 i.e.,
6 = 6 × 1
18 = 6 × 3
36 = 6 × 6
60 = 6 × 10
→ The order is 1, 3, 6, 10, next one is 15. Like 1, 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4, 1+2+3+4+5.
→ Next multiple = 6 × 15 = 90
→ 120 + 90 = 210
Question 8

Question 8 Explanation: 
Question 9
The number of observations in a group is 40. The average of the first 10 members is 4.5 and the average of the remaining 30 members is 3.5. The average of the whole group is
A
4
B
15/2
C
15/4
D
6
       Mathematical-Reasoning       Averages
Question 9 Explanation: 
The Avg of first 10 numbers = 4.5
Total observations =104.5=45
The Avg of next 30 members = 3.5
Total observations = 30 × 3.5 = 105
40 members total observations = 45 + 105 = 150
Avg. of 40 members observation = 150/40 = 15/4
