- Ans is 59,57
Solution:
all the numbers are odd numbers
the difference between each odd pair is 2 (i.e 3-2=1,13-11=2,29-31=2)
The difference between odd positions of the numbers are is as follows 10(13-3=10),20(31-11=20),30(59-29=30)... - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)

- group a pair of two starting number like this (3,1), (13,11),(31,29),
(3,1) after dat add 10 *1 and den subtract it by 2 after adding it...=(13,11)
(13,11) after dat add 10*2 and subtact it by 2 after adding it....-=(31,29)
after dat wat wil happen
(31,29) after dat add 10*3 and subtract it by 2 after ading it...=(61,59)
so d number will be 61
so everythng depnds upn d option it z also a process - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- 3,1 diff is 2 and 13 ,1 is 12 net -2, and 12+8 then -2 ,and 20+8 so 29+28=57

- 3-1=2 diff =2,1+12=13,13-2=11,11+20=31,31-29=2,29+28=57...

- -5 + 8 = 3 --------- initial step
3 - 2 = 1
1 + 12 = 13 ----------(8 - 2) * 2 = 12
13 - 2 = 11
11 + 20 = 31 --------(12 - 2) * 2 = 20
31 - 2 = 29
29 + 36 = 65 --------(20 - 2) * 2 = 18
65 - 2 = 63
63 + 68 = 131 ------(36 - 2) * 2 = 68 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- difference between 13 and 3 is 10
same way difference between 31 and 13 is 18
it means we should add +8 for next no
31+18+8=57

- 57.......3-1=2
13-1=12 multiple of 4
13-11=2
31-11=20 multiple of 4...like data at last 57-29=28 multiple of 4 .
multiple of 4 for odd numbers

- take first four numbers 3 1 13 11 (-2 +12 -2)
3-2=1
1+12=13
13-2=11
continue this for the second series also
31-2=29
29+12=41
so ans=41 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
