Find the next number in the series questions are a crucial part of the reasoning and quantitative aptitude sections in bank exams like IBPS PO, SBI PO, RBI Assistant, IBPS Clerk, and SBI Clerk. These questions test a candidate’s ability to identify patterns in numerical sequences and determine the subsequent term. Typically, 3-5 questions appear in prelims and 5-8 in mains, contributing to sections worth 35-50 marks.
Below are 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on finding the next number in the series, designed to reflect the patterns and difficulty levels of bank exams (e.g., arithmetic, geometric, mixed series). Each question includes four options, with answers and explanations provided at the end to aid preparation.

Find the Next Number in The Series Explanations:
1. Pattern: Differences are 3, 6, 9, 12, … (increase by 3). Next difference: 18. So, 32 + 18 = 50. Answer: A.
2. Pattern: Geometric, multiply by 3 (3 × 3 = 9, 9 × 3 = 27, …). Next: 243 × 3 = 729. Answer: B.
3. Pattern: Squares of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²). Next: 6² = 36. Answer: B.
4. Pattern: Multiply by 2 (7 × 2 = 14, 14 × 2 = 28, …). Next: 112 × 2 = 224. Answer: C.
5. Pattern: Differences are 1, 4, 9, 16, … (squares of 1, 2, 3, 4). Next: 5² = 25. So, 31 + 25 = 56. Answer: A.
6. Pattern: Differences are 4, 6, 8, 10, … (increase by 2). Next: 12. So, 32 + 12 = 46. Answer: B.
7. Pattern: Differences are 1, 2, 3, 4, … (increase by 1). Next: 5. So, 20 + 5 = 26. Answer: C.
8. Pattern: Prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, …). Next: 13. Answer: A.
9. Pattern: Divide by 2 (100 ÷ 2 = 50, 50 ÷ 2 = 25, …). Next: 6.25 ÷ 2 = 3.125. Answer: A.
10. Pattern: Multiply by 3, 4, 5, 6, … (1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 4 = 12, …). Next: 360 × 7 = 2520. Answer: A.
11. Pattern: Cubes of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, … (2³, 3³, 4³, …). Next: 7³ = 343. Answer: A.
12. Pattern: Differences are 3, 6, 9, 12, … (increase by 3). Next: 18. So, 32 + 18 = 50. Answer: A.
13. Pattern: Fibonacci (1 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, …). Next: 5 + 3 = 8. Answer: B.
14. Pattern: Differences are 8, 12, 16, 20, … (increase by 4). Next: 24. So, 60 + 24 = 84. Answer: A.
