-
- 3*2=6
6+7=13
13*2=26
26+7=33
33*2=66
so next will be
66+7=73 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(58) No(4)
- if we focus on the series 3 13 33 ?.
13-3=10
33-13=20
so if we follow the same series ..the missing no will be
63 as 63-33=30
hence ans=63 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(20)
- answer is 73...
the follows alternately multiplying with 2 and adding 7...
let Tn,T(n-1) are nth and (n-1)th terms....
that is Tn=2*T(n-1) if n is even..
and Tn=T(n-1)+7 if n is odd...
we need 7th term which is odd so, T7=T6+7=66+7=73....
--------------------------------------
another solution for the problem is
dividing the question into two alternate series...
3,13,33,...
6,26,66,...
let Tn be nth term and T(n-1) be (n-1)th term
in first series Tn=T(n-1)+2^(n-1)*10 that is we are adding 10,20,40,... to previous term...
so T4=T3+40=33+40=73
in second series Tn=T(n-1)+2^(n-1)*20 that is we are adding 20,40,80,... to previous term... - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(4)

- 3+3=6
6+7=13
13+13=26
26+7=33
33+33=66
66+7=73 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 73 is next number because of 3*2=6
6+7=13
same is follow for all those as well as 33*2=66
66+7=73 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 73
13-6=7
33-26=7
x-66=7
x=73 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- 53 answer since (3,3*2),(13,13*2),(33,33*2) next 53
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 3*2=6
6+7=13
13*2=26
26+7=33
33*2=66
so next will be
66+7=73 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3*2=6,6+7=13,13*2=26,26+7=33,33*2=66,66+7=73

- 3,13,33,53
6,26,66 that mean 3*2=6,13*2=26,33*2=66 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3*2=6 & 3+10=13
13*2=26 & 13+20=33
33*2=66 & 33+30=63 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3,13,33 ?=63 ans
if options does not having this option go for 73 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 132
3*2=6 in the way it was repeated.., so 66*2=132 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- muliply 3 into 2 and add 6+7 again multiply by 2 add 7 process continues devolp logic ans is 73.
