NIMCET 2015 — Reasoning PYQ
NIMCET | Reasoning | 2015Which of the following numbers comes next in the two- digit decimal number sequence 61,52,63,94,…….?
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
65
- B.
64
- C.
56
- D.
46
(Correct Answer)
46
Explanation
Step 1: Analyze the Pattern
If we reverse the digits of each number in the given sequence, a clear mathematical pattern emerges:
-
61 reversed becomes 16, which is 42
-
52 reversed becomes 25, which is 52
-
63 reversed becomes 36, which is 62
-
94 reversed becomes 49, which is 72
Step 2: Identify the Next Term
The sequence of reversed numbers is the squares of consecutive integers: 42,52,62,72,…
The next number in this square sequence is:
Step 3: Final Conversion
To get the actual term in the original sequence, we must reverse the digits of 64:
Conclusion:
The next number in the sequence is 46.
Correct Option: (d) 46
