-
- 1) denominator is 3,2,4,3,2,4,............
at numerator 6 is added after 3 terms
so next terms are: 13/4, 19/3, 19/2, 19/4, .............. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(6)
- 3)5,50,10,40,15,30,20,20,_?
Ans: Take the series as Even and Odd
For every even number 10 will be reduced 50,,40,30,20
for every odd number 5 willl be increased 5,10,15,20
so the answer is 25

- 3) We an write the series in this way
9,15,26/3,29/2,25/3,14,8,27/2,_?
27/3, 30/2,26/3,29/2,25/3,28/2,24/3,27/2,23/3
the difference is 3.
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- 7)i think ans is 131
5*2=10+7=17
17*2=34+3=37
37*2=74-7=67
67*2=174-3=131
multiply with 2 then alternatively add n sub +7,+3,-7,-3 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- 6) add the first two terms to get the third term- 7/6+2/3=11/6... 13/6+5/2=28/6..ans=28/6
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 4) It is a combo of two series
1-> 5,10,15,20 next 25
2-> 50,40,30,20 next 10
so next two terms are 25,10 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 183=6
24/6=4
30/3=10
12/6=2
6/3=2
next term is 2 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 9)ans:17
by seeing alternative numbers we have first difference is 1 and after that for the next series add 5 and after that also add 5. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)

addeded by 2,3,4
1/3 +2=7/3
1/2 +3=7/2
1/4 +4=17/4
7/3 +2=13/3
7/2 +3=13/2
17/4 +4=33/4
2.{18,6},[24,4],{30,10},[12,2],{6,_}
every pair in {} is divided by 3
and every pair in [] is divided by 4
and this continues alternatively
18/3 = 6 ... 24/6 = 4
30/3 = 10 .. 12/6 = 2
6/3 = 2
Ans : 2
3.
2 Series:
1st Series: 9, 26/3, 25/3, 8, ? 2nd Series: 15, 29/2, 14, 27/2
1st Series can be rewritten as -> 27/3, 26/3, 25/3, 24/3, ? => here it decreases by 1/3
and 2nd series can be written as -> 30/2 , 29/2 , 28/2 , 27/2 ..... => here it decreases by 1/2
So Next number will be: 24-1/3 - 1/3 = 23/3 Ans
4.Ans: 25
5,10,15,20; (+5)Series. Next one will be 25
50,40,30,20; (-10)Series. Next on will be 10
5.this question is wrong, the correct series will be
1.25,3,7.1,1.50,1,8.1,1.75,-1,?
ans=9.1
in that series +.5,-2,+1 added as so that no. would be 3rd no.right to that no.
1.25+.5=1.50
3-2=1
7.1+1=8.1
1.50+.25=1.75
1-2=-1
8.1+1=9.1
6.NA
7.7) 5,17,37,67,_?
5 , 17 , 37 , 67 , _?
12 20 30 42
8 10 12
so ans is :: 67 + 42 = 109
8.Next number is 251.5
11.5 =11.5
11.5 +(6) = 17.5
17.5 +(6*3) = 17.5 + 18 = 35.5
35.5 +(18*3) = 35.5 + 54 = 89.5
89.5 +(54*3) = 89.5 + 162 = 251.5

- 8) 272.5
Explanation: 17.5 -11.5 = 6
35.5-17.5=18 (6*3)
89.5-35.5=54(18*3)
272.5-89.5=162(54*3) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)

- 6) 7/6,2/3,11/6,13/6,5/2,_?
7/6+2/3=11/6
13/6+5/2=28/6
So ans is :14/3
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 3)23/3 since diff.b/w alternate nos. is 1/3

- ANS for 1)33/4
2) 12
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- we have to take alternative numbers those are 5,10,15,20
after that 50,40,30,20.
for the first sequence difference is 5&for the second sequence difference is 10
ans is 25. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 9) ans is 17
1st two nos diff 8-3=5 then add 3rd no to it (5+2=7)
12-7=5 then(5+12=17) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- plz expain 3rd one..
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 5) 1.25+0.25=1.50+0.25=1.75

- 1> 33/4
3>23/3

9>17
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 9. 8-3=5
7-2=5
12-7=5
So obviously 17-12=5
ans : 17 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 10) 1.25,3,7.1,1.50,1.81
take 1.25+0.25=1.5
1.5+0.25=1.75
so series will be 1.25,3,7.1,1.50,1.81,x,1.75
to find x
3*2+1.1=7.1
similarly 1.81*2+1.1=4.72
ans 4.72

- 3) ans is 23/3 bcs do +3 &-4 and divide alternatively by 3 &2. u will gt
