Also, try to form your own questions from existing questions and solve them. For example, can you give me a number before the first number in the series (3)?

Saandeep Sreerambatlacool...the answer by The BIG K is correct but if none minds i have a small correction in that one.
For solving these kind of problems we need to have a thorough knowledge of what are actually numbers.
they are not only 0-9 but they have many types and characteristics.
i can suggest a book QA for CAT by Arun Sharma.
if you know the characteristics of numbers you can easily find the solutions , and as BIG K said after getting the basics solve books like Puzzles from Shakunthala Devi. i am sure in about 1 month you will be able to answer all the queastions of that sort. -
