Latest IBM Aptitude Question SOLUTION: What is the next number of the following sequence 1)5 6 3 78 3 9 10 2)6 12 6 13 7 12 7 13 8 3)16 21 25 28 4)20 25 26 22 29 30 24 5) 13 17 29 14 18 28 15 19

1) 3 is insert after every 2 term
series 5,6,7,8,9,10
after insert 3
5,6,3,7,8,3,9,10,3,11,12.......
so ans is 3

2) series is (6 12 6)13(7 12 7)13 (8 12 8)
so next term is 12

3)difference is decrease
16+5=21
21+4=25
25+3=28
28+2=30
so next term is 30

4) break IN 3 SERIES

2)12 8 13

3)Ans:30

16+5=21
21+4=25
25+3=28
28+2=20

4)Ans:33,34
(20,25,26)(22,29,30)(24,?,?)
20+2=22
25+4=29
26+4=30

22+2=24
29+4=33
30+4=34

5)Ans:27

(13,17,29)(14,18,28)(15,19,27)
13,14,15
17,18,19
29,28,27

1. Combine the consecutive 3 nos as following -
(5,6,3) (7,8,3) (9,10,x)
observe that 3 comes after every two nos in each group.
so, the value of x is 3.

2. Combine 2 nos in a group as -
(6,12), (6,13), (7,12), (7,13) , (8,x)
Observe that , first no of each group is repeating two times .
second no of each group increments by 1 in alternate group and then it comes to its own value .
eg - case of first no of each group
6,6,7,7,8
case of second no of each group
12,13,12,13,x
so, the value of x will be 12 as 12 is increases by 1 in next group and then it comes to its own value in the coming group.

3. 16,21,25,28,x
calculate the difference between two consecutive no, you will get -
5,4,3
you are observing that the value (5,4,3) is decreasing by 1 , then the next decreased value is 2.
now add the value of 2 in 28, you will get 30.
the ans will be 30.

4. 20,25,26,22,29,30,24
Combine the three consecutive number in a group as following -
(20,25,26), (22,29,30),(24,x)
in every group the first no is incremented by 2.
in every group the second no is incremented by 4.
so, the second number of each group is
(25,29,33).
so, the answer is 33.

5. 13,17,29,14,18,28,15,19
combine every 3 consecutive no in a group as -
(13,17,29) , (14,18,28) , (15,19,x)
observe , 3rd no of each group is decreasing by 1 -
29-1=28
28-1=27
so, the answer is 27.

1.group
(5,6,3)
(7,8,3)
(9,10,x) ans:3
2.group(6,12),(6,13)
(7,12),(7,13)
(8,12),(8,13)
ans is 12
3.16+5=21+4=25+3=28+2=30 ans=30
4.group
(20,25,26)
(22,29,30)
(24,x,y) 1st column inc by 2 ,2nd &3rd inc by 4 ans=33,34
5.group
(13,17,29)
(14,18,28)
(15,19,x) 1st&2nd column inc by 1,3rd dec by 1
ans=27

2) 6,12,6,13,7,12,7,13,8
clearly
(6,12)(6,13)
(7,12)(7,13)
(8,x) (8,x)
every series first digit is increased by 1
and 2nd digit is commonly entered 12, 13.
the ans is 12, 8, 13

1) 2*5*6+6*3=78 so 2*3*9+9*10=144
2)12
3)30
4)33,34
5)27 as 13+1=14,17+1=18,29-1=28 so 14+1=15 18+1=19 and 28-1=27

1)5,6,3(group of three)

1)3
because 3 is repeated every times after 2 digits
2)12
3)30
because 16+5=21
21+4=25
25+3=28
28+2=30
4)33
5)27 as actually it must be placed after 17 but it is replaced after 19
