11. 2.2-7.2 =-5 2.2+1=3.2 3.2*5=16
11-16 =-5 11+1=12 12*5=60
60-55=-5 55+1=56 56*5=280 (ans)
So Next Term is = 280

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (9) | No (2)  

Rahul gulati  (10 years ago)

11.For first 3 terms : 3.2 - 1 = 2.2 and 3.2 + 4 = 7.2
For next 3 terms: 12-1=11 and 12+4 = 16
For Next 3 terms : 56-1=55 and 56+4=60
also,
4th term = 5 * 3rd term
7th term = 5 * 6th term
therefore, 10th term = 5 * 9th term = 5*56 = 280

Swarnangshu kundu  (10 years ago)

1. 1*3=3,2+8=10,3*4=12,4....(ans)----1,2,3,4 comes after one multiplication one addition.
2.7776=6^5,625=5^4,64=4^3,9=3^2,2=2^1
3.7*(-2)=-14+10=-4(cross (-2) plus 10 sequence follows..) so ans---(-21)*(-2)=42
4.7*(-5)=-35+1=-34,-3*(-5)=15,+1=16,4*(-5)=-20.
5.4-2=2+2=4*2=8-2=6+2=8*2=16-2=14(ans)(-2,+2,*2 sequence...)

Anandkumar  (10 years ago)

11). 7.2 - 5 = 2.2 , 2.2 + 1 = 3.2 , 3.2 × 10 ÷ 2 = 16,
16 - 5 = 11 , 11 + 1 = 12 , 12 × 10 ÷ 2 = 60,
60 - 5 = 55 , 55 + 1 = 56 , 56 × 10 ÷ 2 = 280
Therefore the ans is 280

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

akhilesh kumar  (10 years ago)

1. 1,3,3,2,8,10,3,4,12,?
1st no is 1
4th no is 2
7th no is 3
10th no is 4
so ans is 4


2. 7776, 625, 64,9,?
7776 = 6^5
625 = 5^4
64 = 4^3
9 = 3^2
2 = 2^1
so 2 is ans

3. 7,-14,-4,15,-30,-20,-21,?
1st div by 2nd -14/7 = -2
4th div by 5th -30/15 = -2
7th div by 8th -21/42 = -2
so 42 is ans.

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

akhilesh kumar  (10 years ago)

6. 3,7,10,8,4,12,0,5,5,3,2,?
1st + 2nd = 3rd =>3 + 7 = 10
4th + 5th = 6th =>8 + 4 = 12
7th + 8th = 9th =>0 + 5 = 5
10th + 11th = 11th =>3 + 2 = 5

so ans is 5

7. 3,2,1,4,5,4,5,1,0,6,3,2,?
1st no is 3
4th no is 4
7th no is 5
10th no is 6
13th no is 7

so ans is 7

8. 507,169,248,62,36,12,168,42,168,?
507,169 507/169 = 3
248,62 248/62 = 4
36,12 36/12 = 3
168,42 168/42 = 4
168,? 168/X = 3
put the value of x is 56
so 168/56 = 3
so ans is 56
