Question

Directions: In the following question, two statements are numbered as Quantity I and Quantity II. On solving these statements, we get quantities I and II respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option.

Quantity I: 2, 7, 26, 137, ?

Quantity II: 2, 5, 20, 107, ?

1. Quantity I < Quantity II
2. Quantity I > Quantity II
3. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II
4. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II
5. Quantity I = Quantity II or relation cannot be established.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Quantity I > Quantity II

Calculation: 

Quantity I:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

2 × 2 + 3 = 7

7 × 3 + 5 = 26

26 × 5 + 7 = 137

137 × 7 + 11 = ? = 970

Quantity I = 970

Quantity II:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

2 × 1 + 3 = 5

5 × 3 + 5 = 20 

20 × 5 + 7 = 107

107 × 7 + 9 = ? = 758

Quantity II = 758

Quantity I	Relation	Quantity II
970	>	758

 

∴ From the table, we can see that, Quantity I > Quantity II.
