-
- In above series, there are 2 alternate series.
1st series is : 5,6.5,8,9.5 , if you observe it carefully you will find that next digit is increased by 1.5 eg.5,6.5(5+1.5),8(6.5+1.5),9.5(8+1.5)
2nd series is : 6,6.5,7,? here next digit is previous digit +0.5
e.g 6, 6.5(6+0.5), 7(6.5+0.5), 7.5 (7+0.5)
Hence ans is "7.5".

- Two different AP Series say A(n) and B(n)
So above sequence is as A(n),B(n),A(n),B(n),A(n),B(n),A(n),B(n)
So,
A(n)-> 5, 6.5, 8, 9.5 (difference = 1.5)
B(n)-> 6, 6.5, 7, ? (difference = 0.5)
So ultimately next number will be from series B(n) and will be 7.5 (7+0.5) - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(1)

- 7.5
it consist two series
first is
5,6.5,8...difference of 1.5
and second is
6,6.5,7...difference of .5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 5+1.5=6.5(3rd no.) & 6+.5=6.5(4th no.)
6.5+1.5=8(5th no.) & 6.5 +.5=7(6th no.)
8+1.5=9.5(7th no.) & 7 +.5=7.5(8th no.)ANS
