Dear student
In Quant section the word series is referred to the numerical sequences that follow a logical rule/ pattern based on elementary arithmetic concepts.
In Banking or Insurance exams, generally two types of number series are asked.
1. First one is Missing Number Series.
2. Second one is Wrong Number Series.
