The IBPS RRB PO exam tests a candidate’s logical thinking and numerical aptitude through various topics, one of which is Number Series. This section involves identifying patterns and predicting the next number in a given sequence. It not only checks your accuracy but also your speed in identifying trends such as arithmetic, geometric, squares, cubes, or mixed patterns. Based on the analysis of last year’s IBPS RRB PO exam, Number Series questions were moderate in difficulty and mostly pattern-based, requiring quick mental calculations and sharp observation skills.
