Apt Series Patterns in Aptitude

Arithmetic Series (AP): Common difference is constant. n-th term = a + (n-1)d. Sum = n/2 × (2a + (n-1)d).

Geometric Series (GP): Common ratio is constant. n-th term = a × r^(n-1). Sum = a(r^n - 1)/(r-1).

Difference series: Find differences between terms, then look for pattern in differences.

Square/Cube series: 1,4,9,16... or 1,8,27,64... Check if terms are perfect squares/cubes.

Mixed series: May combine addition with multiplication, or alternate two rules.
