-
- 33+8 = 41 33-8 = 25
46 + 21 = 67 46 - 21 =25
72 + 47 = 119 72-47 = 25
124 + 99 124 - 99 = 25 answer = 99

- 33+8=41
46+21=67
72+47=119
124+?
Now see the difference b/w 33 and 46 is 13 same in 8 and 21
after that 26 is the difference 46 and 72 and so on...
then 52 is the differnce
it means diff is doubled every time
hence 47+52=99 Ans - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(30) No(7)
- 33-25=8 & 41+5=46
46-25=21 & 67+5=72
72-25=47 & 119+5=124
124-25=99 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(0)
- @Ashu
I just want to confirm whether my ans is correct or not bcoz i m not having their answers and by the way these questions will help some one to get an idea of what type of questions are there in IBM papers. So if i m doing this, i dont thing so its a kind of fun. Hope u get it. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(3)
- 33,8,41,46,21,67,72,47,119,124,99
46-21=25
72-47 = 25
so 124-? should also be 25. 124-?=25

- ans 25
33+8=41,46+21=67,...
33-25 = 8,46-25=21..
so 124-25 = 99 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- 33+8=41
46+21=67
72+47=119
there fore it is a 3 series qn
46-33=13
21-8=13
67-41=26(13*2)
72-46=26
47-21=26
119-67=52(multiple of 13i.e. 13*4)
therefore 124-72=52
so next number difference is also 52
47-x=39

- 8,21,47 are in series ie= 8+13=21+13*2=47+13*3=85 is the ans
41+5=46,67+5=72,119+5=124 this is the ans and logic !! - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- @ Shreya,
What is the fun in copy pasting question and answer ? - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(7)
- make it in pairs of three
let (a,b,c) be nth term then
a = 33 + [ 13n(n-1) / 2 ]
b = 8 + [ 13n(n-1)/2 ]
c = a + b = 41 + 13n(n-1)

- 33-4=25, 8-41=-33
46-21=25,21-67=-46=33*13
72-47=25,47-119=72=33*13*2
124-x=25=>x=99 ans=99

- sorry that was my mistake that was + not *
33-8=25, 8-41=-33
46-21=25,21-67=(-33-13)
72-47=25,47-119=(-33-13)*2
124-x=25=>x=99 ans=99 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 33+8 = 41 33-8 = 25
46 + 21 = 67 46 - 21 =25
72 + 47 = 119 72-47 = 25
124 + 99 124 - 99 = 25 answer = 99
