100+ Missing Number Reasoning Questions for SSC & Bank Exams - 1

Question: 1

In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.

(A) 16

(B) 73

(C) 76

(D) 94

Ans: D

Clearly, (1st row)2 + (2nd row)2 + (3rd row)2 = 4th row.
Thus, in the first column, 42 + 22 + 12 = 21.
In the second column, 52 + 32 + 82 = 98.
In the third column, missing number = 62 + 72 + 32 = 36+49+9 = 94.

Question: 2

Find the missing character in each of the following questions.

(A) 201

(B) 731

(C) 1625

(D) 2031

Ans: D

Clearly, we have (3 x 5) + 1 = 16, (16 x 5) + 1 = 81, (81 x 5) + 1 = 406.
So, missing number = (406 x 5) + 1 = 2031.

Question: 3

Find the missing character in each of the following questions.

(A) 66

(B) 68

(C) 70

(D) 72

Ans: C

Clearly, we have 7 x 2 + 2 = 16; 16 x 2 + 2 = 34 and so on.
So, missing number = 34 x 2 + 2 = 70.

Question: 4

In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.

(A) 11

(B) 22

(C) 33

(D) 44

Ans: B

In the first row, (42 - 38) x 11 = 44.
In the second row, (28 - 23) x 11 = 55.
In the third row, missing number = (39 - 37) x 11 = 2 x 11 = 22.

Question: 5

In each of the following questions, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row wise or column wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.

(A) 11

(B) 13

(C) 15

(D) 16

Ans: D

In the first column, 17 - 11 = 25 - 19 = 6.
In the second column, 12 - 6 = 34 - 28 = 6.
Let the missing number in the third column be x.
Then, x - 8 = 19 - 11 = 8 or x = 16.
