    Sol: Option 4
    Explanation: The logic is 8 × 3 – 5 = 19, 19 × 3 – 5 = 52, 52 × 3 – 5 = 151. So in place of 447, it should be 448.

    3.29
    4.45
    5.70
    Sol: Option 1
    Explanation: Starting from the back
    106– 70 = 36, 70- 45 = 25, 45 – 29 = 16, 29 – 20 = 9, 20 – 16 = 4, 16 – 15 = 1. Every difference is perfect square starting from 36 and decreasing. Thus the wrong number is 18, it should be 16.

    2. 4
    3. 10
    4. 19
    5. 1
    Sol: Option 1
    Explanation: Logic is that first difference is 3, next difference is 6, 9, so next should be 12 & 15. So instead of 40 the term should be 41

    Explanation: Logic is 6 × 2 + 3 = 15, 15 × 3 – 4 = 41, 41 × 4 + 5 = 169, 169 × 5 – 6 = 839
    Thus the wrong number is 179, it should be 169.
