- 5) 18,24,5,21,27,8,17,23,4,24,30,?
Ans. We divide the series into 3 terms each
the 1st term will be 18,24,5
so we get it by (24-18)=6 and (24-5) = 19
similarly when we reach the last number which is 30 we subtract 19 from it we get 11(ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(7)

Divide The Series in 3 segment

- 3)The right question will be 0,1,2,0.5,2,2,2,2,4,3,2,?
Ans. We divide it into 4 terms.
the 1st is 0,1,2,0.5
we get it be (0+1)/2=0.5
the 2nd is 2,2,2,2
we get it by (2+2)/2=2
the 3rd is 4,3,2
we get it by (4+3)/2 =3.5 (Ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)

- 4) ans = 0,1,2,0,0.5,2,2,2,2,4,3,2,2,2,4.5
take series into parts
(0,1,2,0,0.5)
0+1 = 1/2 = 0.5+0 = 0.5
(2,2,2,2,4)
2+2 = 4/2 = 2+2 = 4
(3,2,x,y,z)
3+2 = 5/2 = 2.5+2 = 4.5
so x= 2, y= 2, z= 4.5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(8)

- 10) divide series in groups of three ( first term is multiplied by 2 and last term is divided by -2)
(-16,-8,4)-8X2= -16 & -8/-2=4
24,12,-6 = 12X 2 and 12/-2
similarly -40 is twice the required term
So ans is -20 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 2) the correct question is 7,4,6,3,4.5,1.5,2.25, ?
explanation is :
7-4=3 , 6-3=3, 4.5-1.5=3, 2.25-x=3,
so x= -0.75
and the next term is comin like previous term*1.5
so next term will be -0.75*1.5= - 1.125 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)

- 8) The right question will be 3,2,1,4,5,4,5,1,0,6,3,?
Ans. We first take the terms 3,4,5,6
Each is having a difference of 1
Again 3,2 4,5 1,0 is having difference of 1
so the ans is 2
